Mesquite is some tough ****! It's kinda hard to split by handif you are not in a hurry, split it by hand!
How old are you??? Because you are going to be a LOT older before you are done! lolI have a lot more wood than what is pictured. A log splitter would greatly improve production, I just need to know if they work ok or not
So are you trying to tell me that splitting it with a hydraulic splitter will take a long time?How old are you??? Because you are going to be a LOT older before you are done! lol

Should I rent a manual one or a gas powered one?Rent a hydraulic splitter. I would pass on it.
It does when you have to pump it by hand!!So are you trying to tell me that splitting it with a hydraulic splitter will take a long time?
I prefer gas powered. 22 ton or larger. You can use what you want, I am done splitting for the season. Many times it takes more then 6 inches of travel to split a log.Should I rent a manual one or a gas powered one?
Don't bother with that thing. Honestly, I think those are a joke. You might want to try hand splitting before you rent or buy something like that. I'd bet my Fiskars X27 would make quick work of it. And if not, you've only spend $60 on a quality splitting axe that you can use later. Otherwise rent a gas powered hydraulic splitter and get to work. You shouldn't need but a hour or two to get through that pile in the pic.View attachment 607532 View attachment 607533 View attachment 607534 ive got mesquite wood at my house that needs to be split.
I have never used a log splitter before but am considering buying one.
Would one of the "10 ton hydraulic " log splitters work and be worth the money?
Or are they junk?
Any input greatly appreciated, thanks!
