After decades of hand splitting, then borrowing a friend's 25 ton splitter, I bought a 30 ton unit in 2020. Never had any issues and it powers...
Got most of the sugar maple cut and ran out of energy, lol! Also dulled the chain as I found a nail that had been driven into the log sometime in...
It was all cut in June of 2022, so it's been lying on the ground since then. If I get it all split this year it will be great for 24/25 as you noted.

I've been swamped at work for the past two months. On top of that I tore my hamstring three months ago, so my firewood harvesting ceased. Until...
We got home last night from 2 weeks in Florida. It's 38 here at the moment. Have to see if I remember how to start a fire.....
Almost, but not quite 8 face cords thus far, and that is close to my average. With all the dead ash and hoarding I've done, I gave away about 14...
It was 28 this morning when I got up. Have a nice fire going now with mostly cherry and sugar maple. House if 70 and I've got coffee. Wishing...
Pants pockets, around the top of my boots, etc. yep!
I concur with the hickory identification.
