    . . . When you don't have a vertical splitter. . . .

    Had these old rounds sitting around, this just seemed easier than me lifting them. . .

    I've got one decent row done, time to get stacking on another.

    Nice way to handle those big rounds! How many splits out of one round? What was the diameter?

    Overkill? Naw, overkill would be a rotating grapple hook!

    Dad built that splitter back in the '80s when you had to make it yourself or do without. Still works pretty good, although it needs a few touchups.

    Those rounds are a little over 3' diameter, that last picture is the splits from two rounds.

    I thought you guys might enjoy the pictures :)
