    I was a strict hand splitter until recently. I did a "firewood making job" and the homeowner let me use his hydro. I was sold as i was pressed for time. Friend of mine and I were going halves on one until a friend of his bought him one. If i didnt sell wood id still strictly hand split as i agree with you.

    So you farm with one horse, a one man cross cut saw and a single bit ax? :whistle:
    Still rather impressive!
