Looking for how to make a 4 way splitter for my 25ton cub cadet splitter to be used in the horizontal position. I want to increase my productivity a little bit. I was thinking of making something to slip over the current wedge.

I will defiantly think of that. I started advertising a few years ago at 35/hr for split. $45 for cutting splitting. Then I decided to just do a flat 45. But 50 is a much rounder number to me.

Yah I know it’s not a legal term. When I first started looking up firewood everyone was saying 3 faces to a full cord. Around me they don’t even sell by the cord. They call it a cord but it’s only 1/3 of a true cord. My goal is $45/ hour 2 hr minimum. I’ll do whatever they want me to do. Cut...

You said 2 cords. Not face cords. 2 cords is a lot of wood. Here a cord of wood is around $300. I was going to charge $45/hr for myself. I can split about a FC AN hour.

thank you for the input. It is appreciated. I am testing the waters.

I agree. I am nervous about by the cord never know the issues you can run into with knots and splits in the wood. I’m thinking of charging by the hour. I work my but off when I am splitting.

I thought about that but I worry about liability and damage to my splitter.

thank you

I make god money at my full time job. I'm only wanting to do this because I already have the splitter for my own use, and I want to fill some of my spare time and possibly make some extra money do it. I do not want to invest in a different splitter to maybe make some money, Knowing that I can...

if this is not the right area to post please tell me. I am wanting to start a Log/ Firewood splitting business for a little extra income. I am about 45minutes southwest of Chicago I do not have the ability to sell firewood( the wife would kill me) I live in a residential area with not enough...

I stumbled on a few Websites a year or so ago. I do not remember the names. Does anyone know what they are called? These sites hooked up arborists with those who need wood.

Gunny what Poulan pro saw do you have. I have a 4218 and the full Chisel will not work requires a low profile. My othe pp saw uses a full chisel for the chain( I run a 20” bar on it but can buy a differant 18” bar). Contact Oregon https://www.oregonproducts.com. They were extremely helpful for me.

I truly appreciate the input. I usually "touch up" my blades a few times then toss them. i picked up a TON of chains for my saw a few years ago for around $3 each. have 14' 16' 18' and a few 20" also got bars at the same time for around 5-$7. i have looked into a grinder a few times but keep...

one of the guys i work with at the fire department brought in his stihl sharpener i saw how easy it was I went the next day to the store and picked one up. I think i paid around $20 for it .have not looked back yet. Had the repair guy at another shop talking me into a bench mount grinder until i...

Go by sight. When I see dust I touch up/ sharpen OR change my chain. I keep 4 chains with me for whatever size bar I plan on using the most and 1spare fir each of the other size bars I bring out. ( I got a great deal on bars and chains a few years ago). I have gotten 1o, 20 or more cuts out of...

I’m looking for suggestions for free or cheap logs in the Joliet, IL area. If anyone has suggestions on where to start it would be appreciated. I burn wood year round both in my outdoor fire pit and my indoor fireplace. I have the means to cut and split logs.

I decided a few months ago I was going to start a log splitting business to earn a little extra cash. I decided for now I’d travel up to 10miles each way. I was going to charge 35/hr to split and 45/hr to cut and split wood. I had 3 people contact me so far. the first one wanted a price to...

well little update... i messaged them on Saturday and said I'd do the job and be out Monday if they wanted (cut wood into manageable pieces) for $200. I supply saws, chain, fuel, everything. No response back I guess they don't want to pay. I would have entertained an offer. thank you everyone...

Oh I get it. I have family that are working 16hr day 6-7 days a week at their jobs.

Like I said this isn’t my full time job. I’m a fullTime firefighter/ paramedic. Because of my schedule I have 4 days a week to work on other projects.
