    I don't measure or sell it so I really don't know for sure.. This is from one tankfull on the splitter. it ran an hour and a half. The roofline is 7 feet.the poles are 10 foot apart. Come in to eat lunch and then I have to stack it and probably split another. SANY1071.JPG SANY1072.JPG SANY1073.JPG

    I'm guessing closer to a cord, but it's hard to tell.

    My guess is a half cord or a little better. You'll be surprised how a big pile like that shrinks down when you stack it. Looks like you got a good system going there.

    I see two piles that could easily be a half cord each
    I've estimated under and I've estimated over on my own piles
    so I'm guessing 1.333 cord.

    Without looking at the other replies I guessed 1 cord. Math comes out to 1.25. BillB3 is the winner! 100 points to Bill!

    Good Job SS ,looks like a nice dry day for wood cutting


    i noticed the i-beam on the splitter is not flipped up ,do you like lifting the rounds better than sitting on one and grabbing with a pickeroon ? flipped up i can roll the bigger rounds over without having to lift too much
