I purchased the mill. She reimbursed me. It was too big and heavy for the 90yo woman to wrap. I kept the mill in my basement. She printed the paper with the pictures and put in my stocking "representing" the mill she bought for me.

Not sure anymore, but when I was active duty about 1,200 of those were active duty U.S. Coast Guard, and it was the largest unit we had.Depends on your definition of town I guess?The "city" of Kodiak has a population of 12'000 to 15'000 depending on time of year.

Regarding size fo rounds, it will split whatever you can maneuver into place. The Split Force comes with a side loading table like the other splitters. You can get it for either side. Or both I suppose if you asked them. I paid a little extra to get the table put on the other side and it hinges down if we don't need the extra work table area. It's good to have and folding it down allows the machine to take up less width for storage. We keep ours parked in a shipping container. As for a 4way wedge, they don't recommend it. And from what I've read prior to purchase from other people who own them, they also say a single wedge is plenty.
Processed the top of this standing dead Red Oak I cut down earlier this week. Got back today and bucked the trunk, and noted how wet the core of this tree was:
I guessed it was over 30%, almost all the standing dead Red I cut is. Probably shouldn't have been surprised when I threw the MM on it after a couple splits:

The oak blowdown we cut up a few weeks ago was off the ground and from last summer 2021 The wood was atleast that wet from what my dad's moisture meter said. I couldn't believe it since it was off the ground. We split what we could with the time we had a d stacked on pallets in the woods but it will be 2024 before it probably is dry enough to burn.

How did you get it to stand up in the pan for the top photo?
Super glue.
All those big rounds are sitting on 2-3" logs so there not wicking moisture from the wet ground I asked my dad he said 38% moisture. Had to add some saw action for posterity

I gotta get me some of that.
Oak unless it was standing dead for years before will still be wet inside . I’ve bucked oak and left them till the following summer so about a year and they were still wet
This was still damp even though it was off the ground . Needs to dry a few months before I can burn
Fixed
I'd consider cutting the handle short and making a ghetto x25

Guess the super glue didn't hold up very well.
I don't think this is an X27. Head weight 4#.
