Totally agree... orrrrr... add a log catcher on the side closest to "us" and a ramp on side, extend the lever handle and work less often on yer knees.
I like the idea of a longer handle, and elevating it a little. Might have to look into that. Right now, I'm still in thankfulness mode of not having to chop everything by hand anymore!
Nice new tool you got there man! Not trying to take away from the new tool but your house and stove are SWEET looking.
Thanks, man! The stove is sitting in what used to be our 2.5 car garage. We had it done about 1.5 years ago. Door was on the back of the house, so it made for an easier job. We had the luxury of adding the stove as "new construction" instead of retro-fitting, which I think helped a lot. Got lots of awesome advice from the nice folks here who patiently answered my "newb" questions, and was such a cool place decided to stick around.
I also have 14 and 17 year old boys....hmmm....time for some father sons bonding! ( where they do lots of stooping lol)
I was thinking of a mount that would extend under the tailgate and place it at the right working height to split out of the truck.
Thanks! Some of the best money we ever spent. We're having a way better time in there than our one car and lots of junk were!
My father in law rolls his splitter up onto a couple of car ramps to get it to a good working height and he made an extension for the kick stand. I think his was higher off the ground to start with though. My uncle had one like that on an old boat trailer to get it higher but for me (6'-2") it was still kind of low.
That's a good deal man I paid $340 for my 7 ton electric That will be much better than swingin a maul IMO More far :stacke:
You could Get one of these or something similar, welded on, (possibly bolt it on) for towing with a riding mower Clevis Trailer Pin Mount
