How's Your Wood Pile Looking?

I like to back the splitter up to a big piece of wood or the stacked pile etc. This way as I sort through the pile I put the bigger stuff next to the splitter and once I have a pile there I split it up. This way the splitter cannot backup and the ram just pushes the split stuff further down away as in the photo. A very simple idea hit me to put the cheesy wheel chocks I have behind the splitter wherever I want it. Seems to work great. Probably late to the party on this idea but oh well.

Keep it on wheels No sense in picking it up twice Back right up to boiler and unload

Loader to load wagons and logs Skid steer to split wood

I would like to see a few pics of that splitter in action. Did you build it? Maybe I can talk my dad into fabbing something like that. Splitting is what kills my back especially the big stuff. More hydraulics is the answer.

My logs got piled right where I wanted to stack.... Finally got everything cut up and moved so I can start splitting...

How many cords is that sitting there? Looks like quite the pile!

Ya I built it. Cylinder off old pay loader works well. Almost as good as one I built for my backhoe. Can't get video to load , I have some on YouTube you can check out

Dropped load 8. It wasn't completely full but it hit 85 here today in central MN so I threw in the towel. Literally, I switched wood stove back to the pool Saturday am and we just got out. One final hoorah.

Half the wood shed full with about 4 cords and will fill the rest with dead standing red elm in the coming weeks.

First try at a panoramic photo. Pretty neat but the sun sorta screwed it up. Load 9 on the ground. Some maple and ironwood but mostly basswood. That was the last load off the clearing project for dad's new garage slash workshop.

My woodpile looks like a snowman crapped on it last night. These are 32" poplar rounds waiting to split.

Oh wow. Glad that hasn't made it my way yet.
