Rented a splitter from the local rent-a-center and started splitting firewood that me and my sons couldn't split by hand. Several chunks of 24-26" diameter Ash just about whooped us good. The largest splitter I've ever rented is a 27 ton and I've managed to strain and stop almost any splitter that I've put wood under. Any way, after splitting wood yesterday for about 10 hours, I wuz whooped beyond all belief. This desk-jockey got a lot done yesterday, but I'm paying for it today.
One of my biggest frustrations is with splitters that I've rented. I always hear about "how easy" people have it when splitting wood. I have yet to see "how easy" it is when all we do is stick splitters in wood and have to wedge-n-slege is along with the splitter to get the wood even started to split.
Maybe I just need to scrounge up some stuff and build a splitte with a V-8 Hemi on that baby.!!!!
Does anybody else have a tough time splitting wood with a splitter!???? What would it cost me to build one (if I can find somebody that can weld).??
