This ash will start to split on the landing in a matter of hours if its dry weather. When its quite you can hear it popping and splitting the same with red oak to. I cut some Hard maple today 26" and snow white

I'm sure ash has one of the lower moisture contents .......that may have something to do with it

You tried pie cutting them ?

If you run across any maple here, you know you are near an old house place. I have only cut 6 this year. Ya know...the grade goes as #4! I thought they would be pretty, these looked like a cross between a sycamore and a tuplelo...kinda ugly

Very dry wood. When I would have to chip it with the model 30 I would have to open the hood up every 2 load just to clean the knives off . It has some sort of weird sap it gummed up the knives and made that chipper bog right down. Same with saw chain..
