    Nice video and a sweet two way splitter!

    Does it have a four way wedge option. It'd be ideal if it did with the size of those rounds.

    Does that birch have much of an aroma? The black birch around here has a nice wintergreen aroma. Ill be cutting some this week and will be sniffing away!

    Thanks. Yeah, I really like it, once you get used to it you can move through the wood pretty good. No four way wedge option, I'm not sure how well it would work with blades on both sides of the wood? It wood be nice though :D

    The white has a bit of a smell, hard to describe. The yellow is stronger, the leaves of it have the wintergreen smell, the wood itself not so much, but smells good.

    Those are nice machines...my brother has one and I've got to run it quite a bit. Its an older one that he bought used, and it came with the Honda engine (GX160? Its a fuel sipper) a log lift (he gets mostly very large wood...almost never a bunch of pecker poles like you have there :rofl: :lol:) and then he added a lift kit and 12" tires, since the working height was too low to suite.
    He thought about buying one of their new vertical machines but decided to just bite the bullet and he bought an Allwood Birch V instead. Between the 2 machines, you can make a bunch of firewood, fast! But it takes at least 4 guys to keep things moving at a good clip!
