If I could process that much, I wouldn't have a problem selling it. I was sold out in early November last year.I started spring fully thinking why not split and stack 300 cords. Funny after 8 or so the theory changes to how will I sell all that wood

Like the look of your old splitter. I just can't see the collars for me. In general I am splitting 24" to 28" for the OWB and this load of mixed ends I am often splitting several pieces at one time except for the 3' stump ends that are to heavy to load more than one. The motor I have is a Lifan 13 hp from the Home Depot. It came with a 3 year warranty and rumor has it that Lifan is a Honda clone and can even use Honda parts. The harbor freight motor had 90 days and was the same cost. The rest of the splitter is Northern Tool.

getting a pile of oak chunks and other day's scrounge ready to stack and split the chunks. lil Echo CS-271 saw is one powerful, fun saw to use. I am totally impressed with its power and cutting ability... this wood was cut under tall pines but the shade was minimal as sun pushing over to start lowering. and all this work would not have been any fun at all if the saw was not kicking a** and taking names! well... thot some mite like to see bits and pieces of my small scale logging ops, urban based... lol !

Don't have any pictures of my pile or splitting area but I do have some pictures from the woods.

I normally wouldn't go through the effort of stacking that but I just plain wanted to see it for curiosity sake. Bar is two foot long and my truck is parked behind it. Pile still looks smaller than I was expecting though.

I took this picture because the tree was originally laying on the other side of the tree still standing. Always stand on the safe side of tension. Thing swung so hard it still almost came back and got me.
Thought I might be a fool for even bucking this one up:
Then I thought I might be a fool for only cutting it as firewood.

Thank you. That's my little slice of heaven. Lot of Shagbark Hickory and Oak, although those pictures might not make it seem like that.

That's my Echo CS-8000. 1985. Never gives me a bit of trouble. Noodle machine. Split everything by hand unless it gives me trouble then the Echo is called in.

I am amazed by the amount of iron you commercial guys keep in action for your businesses. It is hard enough to keep a couple saws, a lawnmower, and ATV in action!

Always seems like something needs work, it could pretty well be a full time job.
Feller buncher (had 2 for a while), delimber, 2 skidders, 2 dozers, excavator, 2 skid steers, 2 log trucks, 9 dump/flatbed trucks, 2 firewood processors, sawmill, etc, etc!

You must have several years worth of sales wrapped up in iron?!
