    I love your splitter. I've never heard of an American CLS splitter before.

    Nice work!

    Check out their site. I had a yard man 27 ton for years. This one is pricey, but it is solid, runs great and the log lift is a back saver!

    I love splitting rounds that size. It always seems that you get more results in less time.

    Agreed. Unless they are stringy and a pain, the big rounds add up fast!

    I was splitting some ash today too. Every time I’m working with ash, I always wonder if I will be telling my grandkids some day, “ you know, there used to be a tree called the ash tree...” Seems like most all the ones around us are dead if they’re still standing. Great stuff! Nice rounds woodsnwoods! Enjoy em while they’re still good for the getting:rofl: :lol:

    I agree. The Denver metro landscape used to be littered with beautiful, giant, green, 100+ year old Ash trees. Now, most of them are gone thanks to the EAB. It saddens me. Great firewood though!

    Nice work and yes the American CLS are heavy duty wood splitters.
