    Next Friday after Thanksgiving we have a crew of 6 guys splitting about 4-5 cords of rounds. We have tons of axes, mauls, beer and a hydraulic to get the job done. I’m sure when it’s over me and Stoveaclause will post some pics

    Thats funny, same here! I ran home from work, ate and tried to get out back to catch some daylight to do some stacking. I need upgrade my light situation if I want to make this a habit. I was using my LT lights for a bit but didn't want to kill the battery so I quit. Trying to get a decent pile of splits off the ground......

    Can't say I've ever split or stacked wood after dark but can see why some others have to do that. So one does what he has to do to get the job done.

    Cool. After I posted I started looking. Some draw as little as one amp. I have a deep cycle boat battery connected to my atv anyway to power the winch without the atv running. Think I’m gonna get a set of these lights. I miss the sun at night.
