First time I've done this much splitting at one time. Ususlly, I split in small batches. This year, just stacked my rounds in a sunny area and for the first time I rented a splitter, 22 ton iron and oak. What a treat that was! My son and I split up ash, elm, boxelder, crabapple, apple, mountain ash, cottonwood and evergreen. Glad I had the splitter for the evergreen, don't think I'll ever take any of that again, at least that big.
Yup, the best! Worked his tail off too. Broke a round open and it was full of bullets. You would've thought there was gold inside he was so excited.
I call them evergreens, guess the proper name is spruce. Short needles. Neighbor had one taken down, must have been 60-70 feet tall, I got 20 feet or so of the trunk.
how many cord yards get done? what did it cost to rent the splitter? you know all the good details while your having you well deserved recuperation and a
No idea how many cords. Pile looks much bigger in person. Splitter ran me $70 for 24 hours, worth it to me! I definitely need to buy one though. Stacking to commence once I recuperate, lol!
I'd say you did do some. Nice looking pile you got there. Now you get to stack it ugh I hate stacking
A splitter is sure nice to have around. I will split what I can by hand, but its sure nice for those stubborn rounds.
Here it's $75 for the day , the HD by me had a nice 34 ton ariens with Subaru engine for 1,399 looked good. If I didn't have a splitter I would of picked it up
neither til pay property taxes in 11 days.. . Up here in winter a few of my friends bought the hydraulic leak return ones for 650 in December... So a Christmas present for me.. I'm hoping... hard to justify with dad's old Lafonde out back that still works.. but I really want a vertical option and one that has split catcher on end. Also want another trailer, chainsaw, and a cool grapple bucket for Kubota like Gasifier has.... but only 1 present for me a quarter..... I think in the choice I would get dirty hands because I really like the auto return function
Priorities always come first. Sometimes it's good to wait because most of the prices do come down in a few months. I heard good things on the dirty hands splitter.
When you hear a noise tonight it is only raccoons playing on your split pile pay no attention. I will be er they will be gone by morning. I'm sure their trailer can't fit it all in on one load.
