    4th trailer of the summer. This one is all red oak that was cut and split today. Splitting another trailer of oak on the 4th which will be 8 cords gatheredfor the season.

    Helping my tree service buddy take down and buck some silver maple next sunday on one of his jobs but we leave that wood for the homeowner.

    Today's load and my buddys homemade splitter. Has a 14 hp emgine and log lift is sweet.

    Great looking load and the splitter appears to be well made and hefty! I love the tires that make it actually towable on the road.

    Love the hefty and high splitting wedge. My wedge is about 12" high, so doesn't split the big stuff on the first stroke.
