    Looking at a Dolmar PS421

    They are great saws and hard to beat, I grab my 421 most the time over my 7900 unless its a big tree

    Building new splitter

    Stager the cross wedges so the main wedge splits vertical first before the horizontal wedges touch the wood, this reduces amount of force needed to utilize 4-6 way wedges

    Do you dry your wood in IBC totes?

    IBC totes are nice but I cannot justify paying the high cost for them, I have one that I acquired for free I use to transport wood from the shed to the burner but I can get pallets for free so when I can I have been stacking and wrapping my pallets the wrap holds up good and allows good airflow

    I'll agree, used to be a good place to come and share stories and what not that are on topic and useful, I could do without these little tangent threads that are just a waste of time bickering match between a buncha over posters that obviously have nothing better to do! Find it hard to believe...

    Timberchamp Kinetic Splitter

    I noticed the same thing, not sure guessing this company is just getting started time will tell how well they are made, with the speeco kinetic being a flop I don't know how I would feel about buying one until they prove themselves! The green unit looks bigger to me
