    40 = 29 = 25? How do you make money doing this?

    I am going to have to start buying wood this way as well because of the growth of our business. What kind of price should I look to pay for a full tri ak load of low grade hardwoods? We are in the state of WV. I have heard anywhere from $300-500.

    Splitter for a bobcat?

    Sounds like what your talking about is "upside down skid skid model". We sell these in 20ton on e-bay for $1195 but off e-bay we can sell them for 100-200 less. And by the way the upside down model is the one we sell the most of. In general they cost a little more that POT models.

    Powerhorse splitters

    I saw that as well and thought northerntool was the manufacturer. Then I saw a company called safewholesale.com that had them. This would suggest there is a 3rd party who is the manufacturer to me.

    High production

    If it were me I would try and find someone to bid with that wanted the saw logs. This way you would not have as much to get and could likely get the lower grade stuff very very cheap.

    log spliter

    My best set up is the 8hp, 16gpm 2 stage pump and a 4inch cylinder. This will produce a very fast and powerful cycle of under 10seconds and around 25tons.
