You know when I'm splitting vertical..I mean buisness lol ! I do not enjoy splitting larger stuff...as it just harder all the way around. Thank goodness for the tractor helping ! Got this old maple cut up into size...and moved. Chunking them into size ..then when I can stand up straight again lol ....ill finish them off in the horizontal position.
Those big sugar maple rounds are back breakers but some good dense firewood. Good you had the tractor to help. Moving those the old way isn't fun. Nice work HF! I usually noodle them into sections even then still heavy.
