    Has he seen the advantages of the push plate? You could take all the elm you want then;). All kidding aside, elm burns great, it just doesn't like to split.

    I'm looking forward to burning the couple of rows of elm all nicely stacked on the patio.

    I wish I was closer, I’d sell my 40t CL for a good deal.

    We are trying to steer him away from co-ownership. With the amount of wood Brad splits, a Super Split really would be perfect. He could drive to West Bridgewater and pick it up. Should he ever decide to sell it, he'd have zero trouble getting most of his money back. You seldom see them for sale used for good reason. Business co-ownership ventures seldom work out well. Often one person feels like they aren't getting a fair shake.

    I’m thinking real hard on a push through with a 4-way and log lift.
    37-Ton Horizontal Gas Log Splitter w/ Log Lift (RS-737)

    I have a big Tupelo (black gum) to tackle. It might end up noodled anyhow though. I have about 15 cords of mostly ash to move through. 32 IBC totes to fill, and a few racks to stack the rest.

    That ruggedmade seems kinda pricey, compared to other options.
