    Yes sir..
    there is a local guy that rents it out or comes to your property and splits it up for you.
    He also sells the attachments or rents them.

    I guess the trade off for not having to muscle big heavy pieces is the mess it creates. I would like to see one of them in action.

    Cool looking tool. I would love to see it in action as well. Wonder how good it does with dead elm?

    Dude, I bet it would rip right through it easy peasy. I think of it more like a toy... that is the smallest model attachment Black Splitter makes, on a small machine...
    I wish I could upload a video. There are some out there on YouTube.
    It was wicked fast and really awesome for a small machine like that.
    Not too much money for the service either.

    They were pretty huge and long pieces that were very close together on uneven ground. And my back hurts and I have no one to help me, when in walks this dude into my life with that machine and attachment company.
    We did take some promo vids, but I don’t think I can upload them.

    So you split first then cut it to length... that's a new one to me.

    Pffft... yeah, right.

    Would be a nice rental to have for a weekend. Get things all laid out ahead of time. And go drilling!
