Since the only rental shop in town can't answer the phone when I call, perhaps you can help. I'm not quite ready to get my first hydro, but need to rent one to split up some 20-24" dia. chunks of pine that I just cannot hand split. Wife wants them out of the driveway, understandably. Anyone here locally care to loan out a splitter for a day. What's your rate? I take good care of equipment, especially the other fellas. Could make it a mini- GTG, but it's probably an hour of work at most with a splitter.
If ya didn't live soooooooo far away, you could borree mine Just need to operate it in the correct vertical orientation
Thanks Eric. I may just have to break down and whip out the debit/CC at TSC for a CountyLine hydro. Closest Menards with a Forest King is 200 miles away in Apple Valley, MN, otherwise I might pick one of those up because of the lower price. Y. Sam/EstoParatus/Barry
Just stopped at TSC here in town and they're out of the sub-30 ton hydros. Gonna check out Mills Fleet Farm next.
I'd be rather use a hydro. I've already spent too much time bouncing off of these rounds! City-grown pine trees with knots everywhere.
I am seeing a log-splitter rental business in my immediate future. Anyone have thoughts on the downsides of that, liabilities, etc?
If I wasn't swamped with work right now (and there's always the disposal of shavings - I use them for fire starter/mulch normally) I'd bring 1 or 2 of my vintage big saws & make short work of those knotty pine rounds Never pass up an opportunity to run one of those beasts,have been known to fire one up every month or so for a few minutes just to keep the piston/cylinder & other parts lubed.
Appreciate the thought thistle. I need a splitter anyways, but was really hoping to rent for one more go-around. Always love seeing the big saws!
Hi Corey. Are you saying the TrueValue in Grimes rents? Hadn't looked that far out yet... Sent from my SM-N920R4 using Tapatalk
