    Tie them off to a tree, one at a time, , and then just drive away!

    Load them on PVC and roll them off when you get home. Would probably have to chock the PVC in place for the drive. Can reference this chart to determine how many PVC pipes would be needed based on the weight. I used 2" PVC to move my 500 lbs stove around by hand with ease.

    What sizes do I aim for when splitting? Bigger better? Just small enough to handle into a side loader?

    Big is a bit better for holding night fires. However, square means you can pack them tight so size is not really an issue.

    So I'm probably gonna get a massive boo but it seems a shame to burn that stuff. Looks like it'd be great for some landscaping or getting milled into planks for mantle pieces or the like? J

    I actually concur but how easy is that though? Sawyers arent cheap but those alaskan mills seem to do only so much...good idea!

    Some people have had the same problems with those Splitters, assembled at the store with hoses leaking, just check all your fittings make sure they're tight.
    Congrats on the new splitter bud:axe:

    Well we try it yesterday, glad I was adamant about the 20+ tons, it's a beast, Koehler motor is smooth, and perfect opening at 26" nothing I cut passes the opening, I will continue the 19-20 inch logs.

    I wish there was a way to adjust the auto stop open at 22 inch so you would know wood that was too big for your stove, that would be great.
