I don't know about you guys with all these dull mauls. I use a Gransfors Bruks maul which is as sharp as an axe. It has a 5.5 pound head and splits anything. I've even had some luck splitting Elm. I've used alot of different mauls but this one is by far the best and its sharp. BTW, I know...

BVO, Iron & Oak splitter comparable in what way? Have you run the TW-5? Slipknot how are they overpriced? I suppose if I were going to split 5 to 10 cords a year I would just go down to home depot and buy their special of the month. On the other hand, if you are talking commercial application...

You get what you pay for! I have owned a TW-5 for three years and its worth every penny. Woodho

My JC Whitney catalog lists all the panels you mentioned. I am not familiar with the quality but give them a call. Woodho

Boston, I'm in SE MA and would like to come. Keep us up to date on the details and finalized date. Woodho

I am in SE MA. I have a Timberwolf TW-5 and I charge 40 bucks an hour with a 2 hr minimum. I charge a minimum to make it worth loading everything up. I will buck wood that is already down and split. I don't stack. Woodho

Timberwerks, I'll second that. I also have a Timberwolf TW-5 and I have easily split a full cord in one hour. In fact with two guys and the pile near the machine I've done it in 40 minutes. I love this machine. Woodho

Guys, I'm loving this thread. Please keep posting more discussion and pics. TREE, love that bench. Woodho

Woodshop, Thank you for your great descriptions. This has always fascinated me but I always thought it would be too expensive to get into. Since I already own saws capable of running these mills it might be feasible. Really enjoyed your deatiled descriptions and pics. You have obviously put...

Guys, There is a lot of fancy calculations in this post. I've had the opportunity to use alot of the splitters out there. I bought the TW5 from Timberwolf. You will never look back. This splitter is incredible. Its not even their biggest. Is it expensive? Yes. However, if you want to do...

Hey guys, Get yourself a splitting maul from Gransfors Bruks. They are a Sweedish company that still makes handmade axes and mauls. The best one I've owned. Woodho

Marky Mark, I couldn't agree more. I bought a Timberwolf TW-5 and its incredible. As to why they are expensive, go and take a look at one and you will see immediately. Woodho

Rich, When i started selling firewood I started out with the Stihl 025. It is a nice little saw. From your post it sounds that it will more than serve your needs. Assuming that you aren't bucking very large trees. The 044 is nice but alot heavier than the ms250 and will fatigue you after...

Ax-man, The TW-2 does not have the power nor is it built for a six way wedge. I have seen several of these machines and they are nice for what they are meant to do. I think you might do some damage unless you are splitting rounds no larger than 8 to 10 inches. Take care. John

Jokers, I bought a like new used conveyor for 3K. They are a fantastic combo to the splitter and still cheaper than the processor. Regarding small camp wood, Timberwolf has a TW-7 which is designed to do just that. Combine that with a bundler and you've got money in the pocket. Small bundles...

Jokers, I have the TW-5 and it's an awesome machine. I love the 500lb log lift and this machine will split just about anything. Yes it's a high price tag but if you're serious about selling firewood you gotta have one. As far as processors, you are correct but keep in mind that the cheapest...

Hey guys, Bought a 372xp and a 346xp at the same time. After using the 346xp I immediately sold my 2 026s and an 044. For what it is the 346xp is an awesome little saw. Woodho

Cary, That's a great lesson for us to hear. I'm glad you are ok and took the time to relay the story here. We sometimes forget that now matter how experienced one is things can still go wrong. I'll remember this story for when I have to remove my backhoe. Woodho

vsteel, I bought my 372xp here in MA one the highest cost of living states. I looked on the internet and did some comparison shopping. When I was ready I took my stuff to the dealer and talked with him. I got my 372 for $620. Not the cheapest but I've got the dealer support and I didn't pay...

Hey guys, I've got a Kubota B21 which is their industrial grade tractor/loader/backhoe. This machine is awesome. Most guys can't believe the power for its size and very rugged. I have no trouble using it for skidding and lifting logs. I use a lifting tongs on a chain off the bucket. As far...
