    Me too!! I would have to go rent/borrow/buy a new splitter.. old splitter is horizontal only!! Not to worry I got plenty of milk crates.:cool:

    I had never processed this much yellow birch. Very stringy kind of glad I got a push plate splitter just load another round to get it to finish the split.

    Push through splitters are the best for any kind of stringy wood. I've only seen push though on horizontal splitters.

    Just wondering. Do you have to watch your bp? If you need to and don't have a bp machine, check with your VA doc. He can get you one for free..
