    Splitter is working fine. Used it Saturday afternoon for an hour and a half and finished up the stuff I had cut Sunday morning before the snow got too crazy. Just around 2 cord split and stacked on my pallets. 170211 (2).JPG 170211(1).JPG 170211-1 (3).JPG 170211-1 (4).JPG 170211-1 (5).JPG 170211-1 (6).JPG 170211-1 (7).JPG

    Speaking of splitters. I was looking at Scotty Overkill's splitter last night and said to him that we could probably make a removable attachment and use it as a hydraulic press for forging thicker steel quicker in my shop! :sherlock:That is if he's willing to do that with his splitter. I don't have one or I'd give her a whirl!:rootintootin::D:thumbs::dex:

    Yes kind of something like that. That's really cool!:thumbs: And I like how quickly you can change from one head to the next.
