    What do you do

    When I get a saw pinched I will just drive a wedge in to take the pressure off, then pull it out. Tip I do is... I cut in the woods then split. I never leave cut peices in the woods. Split enough to fill the trailer and bed. I cut three tops out in the woods a few years ago...

    Best Way to Split This...?

    To answer your question... the best way to split it is to use a hydrolic splitter. If you dont have a splitter use a sledge and a couple of wedges. Start on the edges of the rounds. After a little pratice you will get the hang of it.

    Looking for ideas for a cheap bridge

    If youre not going to buy any thing I would just get some locust logs about 10 feet long and lay down in the ditch until it fills in the void. It will suprise you how long it will stay there. If rain did push them out they will not go far.

    Looking for ideas for a cheap bridge

    I would just fill the ditch with logs and drive over them instead of making a bridge. I have did this and drove concrete trucks across ditches.
