[QUOTE="ericm979, post: 7648688, member: 150036"] LS is a South Korean company which spun off out of LG. They've been selling tractors in the US for a while now. I have a Branson (another Korean tractor) and a grapple that I could use to position rounds on the splitter. But I'd rather quarter big rounds by noodling and finishing with a maul. If I used the tractor to drop a big round on the splitter I'd still have to man handle the halves. My splitter has a table on one side but it's only so big, and it won't help at all with the other half. That's assuming the big round split all the way. Since the wedge is only 10" or so high, it might not. A 200 lb partly split round is going to be some trouble to deal with. To use tractor I'd have to go get it out of the barn and put the grapple on if it's not already mounted. It's faster to just noodle the rounds when I am bucking the log and have the saw right there. But if it works for you, great. If you need an excuse to buy a tractor I'm not going to discourage that! The Branson has hauled a lot of logs for me. [/QUOTE]
