    That is very similar to my homemade wedge and I've been testing it for 5 years with no recalls or breakage. Mine is on stationary end.

    Wood pile tarps

    I got some rubber roofing that was 7' wide and 80' long (used) and it works good on wood piles, but I had to cut into 10' pieces so I could handle it better.

    Whats a good splitter?

    Lots of people in Perry co. Mo. take their wood to Stl where they get the big bucks, but you are right about the $40-50 a rank (1/3 cord).

    My splitter build

    This may be helpful. The bracket was bought from northern tools. I aligned everything up before I drilled holes etc. Been working for 4 years now.

    cant hook??????????????

    Lots of times when we drop a tree some of the bigger can be cut completely off and often times there is a nice limb that is left on the main trunk and just cut off leaving a 4-6 ft handle to roll the trunk so it can be completely cut. I had a cant hook but never took it in the woods.

    Splitter Valves plumbing

    After talking to a guy at Prince valve I opted to get a valve with power beyond port to supply the valve for my log lift. He said the valve wasn't designed for that type of setup and it would eventually fail. Go to prince valve web site and find the diagrams that are helpful for your situation.

    Newly installed Fire Chief 700

    I wish I would've thought of that plenum as I have the same furnace with the round 12" pipe. Good idea.

    My take on Russian-Olive (Oleaster)

    I've seen Russian Olive around here and it seems they come in groups. What I have that is invasive is Asian Honeysuckle bushes and they are everywhere in my small patch of woods. They grow from seeds and root system. I've sprayed the leaves with a combination of herbicides with glyphosphates...

    Picked up a Polaris Ranger today!

    I bought a used Ranger 500 about a year ago and it's been handier than I imagined. It's an 07 and the bed is wider than my sil's 11 model. The more I use it the more I overload it with firewood. Put little pegs in the top holes of bedsides to haul more.

    Will this help beam strength

    I added another 1/4" to the top of my beam after using it for a couple of weeks. I could see it flexing.,but now it stays straight. It's reinforced a little more on the lower half also,but I don't know if it was needed.
