This plus what is currently in the shed will probably last two winters. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut it out of our woods. Some I skid up tree length and some I block up in the woods then put it on a trailer behind the tractor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted June 3, 2019 Share #16 Posted June 3, 2019 I’m tired just looking at that pile. What did you use to split it? Did you just split it yesterday or did you cut and haul and split it all in one day? However you did it it’s srill a lot of hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2019 Share #17 Posted June 3, 2019 We just split it yesterday. I never found it worthwhile to own a splitter as I can rent one for $50/day. I picked it up at 7 yesterday and we were done at 2. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted June 3, 2019 Share #19 Posted June 3, 2019 When I was young and the Maintenance Supervisor at a large retreat center/summer camp we would have races which two man team could split wood faster. The team using our hydraulic log splitter or the team using the maul of their choice. I could run rings around the hydraulic splitter with my 25 pound monster maul. It wears me out now very quickly when I use it, I mostly use a lighter one now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every fall I cut 2-3 cords of dead standing trees and those I split by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted June 3, 2019 Share #21 Posted June 3, 2019 Any one remember that splitter gizmo that looked like a threaded cone that you put on your truck axle, with the truck jacked up, ran the truck to spin the thing, and rammed the firewood into it ? Looked like a disaster ready to happen. Was about the same time as lawn darts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like a disaster ready to happen. Was about the same time as lawn darts. That was the fastest log splitter ever. All the rednecks on the mountain used those. They would laugh at people spending money on hydraulic splitters. They said heck everyone I know has at least one old truck sitting in their yard anyway, might as well put it to work. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a bunch of wood to split manually too. It means I've been doing it by hand but I think it's time I rent a splitter. It's just like riding an e-bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
