[QUOTE="dhamblet, post: 1941960, member: 17228"] It all depends on what kind of wood your working with. Out here on the Northwest coast its mostly straight grained alder up to 24 inches which splits like nothing. Many pieces can easily be split on their side by maul with a golf swing or with one hand and a heavy axe. Easier than picking it up to set it on a splitter. I just split it where it lays rather than picking it up and carrying it to the splitter. Then I shove it into a pile with the tractor or scoop it up in the bucket. Now nutwood or fruitwood would be an entirely different situation. I once had some holly that absolutely could not be split without a precut, it was like a block of rubber. ` For it I would have liked a splitter. [/QUOTE]
