What splitter are you running?

Supersplit SE

 

That would be a nice addition. Would make quick work of the wood species here.

 

So do you go "eenie, meenie, miny, Moe" when you choose your splitting apparatus?

 

yes...i have more,but....depends on the size and quality of the wood,i split 3 tri-axles loads of bad (non compliant) wood this past winter with the cone..split them in 12-14 foot lengths makes for quick work,minimum bucking with the saw,looks kinda like split rail fence when its done and burns quick in the burn pit.
the split fire does all the big and unruly stuff,then it gets run thru the supersplit

 

Speeco 25 ton, vintage 1999. This is with the new motor on it.

 

Our progression of splitters over the years...
My dad bought the 25ton Yard Machine from my FIL for $500 in probably '98-'99. We used it exclusively till '18
We then got a County Line 30ton fast cycle splitter from TSC. It was a significant upgrade, old splitter was 30 sec SLOW.
We still use the County Line vertically to break down really big rounds, like the Yard Machine is doing above.
In Sept '22, we did our last upgrade, found an almost new Wolfe Ridge 28HO with 4 & 6 way wedges. We later added an umbrella
