    Beware the animal spirits within!!!

    Who come up with this!?!?: " See a spry fox spreading gifts of love among the denizens of a wintry forest."

    I've got a pretty good idea what kind of gifts foxes spread in the winter. :whistle:

    Now there's blue wood of a different color!

    Their website states their large splitter is 56 ton.

    Wonder if you could pile in a few dozen average rounds and split a half cord per pass?

    That's it? The Tractor Supply had a 40-ton County Line out front yesterday for $1999...I would have though that biga$$ splitter would be in the 100-ton range.

    I watched the video earlier the description said 76 ton... I figured a bit more myself but I guess 152,000 pounds on that knife edge wedge is all it takeso_O

    Nah...farmers used to split rails by hand...this isn't too much different....once you get them started it probably goes pretty easy unless you hit a crotch in the tree.
