    I need to count the splits from the one I've been working. It must be 100-130.

    Yes, I'd like to see that!!

    Most I've ever got from one round was around 65-70 splits (yes, ONE ROUND). The rounds in the pic I posted yielded between 25-40 splits each (the stump being the 40). My splits are usually in the 4x4 to 5x5 range on average....

    Big oak and no hydraulics. Having a splitter must be fun. I didn't have the 660 then, was a lot of work for the 441. KIMG0018.JPG

    Warch out R B. There is a man in black behind the grassy nole sp? He is conspiring to take you out then take your rounds.
