    Bought new log splitter

    lightning I have been so lucky. The trees are getting hit ,not the house. 2 giant maples have been struck, one 35 yards away(it will live), one 30 yards away(dont know if it will survive) and one 70 foot pine tree 60 yards away from house, which is now 50 feet tall and dead. It looks like...

    Bought new log splitter

    old splitter works good The old splitter works great, just the big logs are impossible to pick up. I have a huge maple tree that is losing about 8 limbs a year to a lightning strike. It's probably 48 in in diameter. I'm hoping that is stabalizes and quit losing limbs, but you can see one...

    Bought new log splitter

    If i was selling wood, I would have a big one. but I think that this splitter will do anything a homeowner needs.I'm planning on at least 8 cords this winter. Like hammer0410 said , it's not real fast, but it gets the job done. With the 2 stage pump, it just builds up pressure and splits it...

    Bought new log splitter

    Home depot had 10% off with new acct. Gave me 0% for a year, even though they advertised 6 months. I'll pay it off in 9 months. I wanted the 8 hp honda, but they didn't have one in stock(another $800 and weeks to get). I took the 5.5 Honda(MTD), 27 tons. It works wonderful! ! It is...

    how much does a cord weight

    Ray , i'm perplexed. what do you mean a face cord is 1/3 of a real cord? I thought a real cord was 24 in logs 4 foot high and 16 feet long. i thought a face cord was a different log length, 4 ft high and 16 foot long. So if my face cord is logs 18 in long, 4 foot high, 16 foot long. Isn't...

    Buying a new Chainsaw

    if you are looking at 2 stihls already, buy the one with the most HP. I have had a 028 super Av for 15 years, still a fantastic saw for small trees and limbs. For big trees and firewood however, I bought the 440 Magnum last fall and I love it. I kept it in the house for 9 months :)

    Good wood stove ? basment or living room

    If it has at least 7 cords , I will take it. I fixed the spliitter last week, the relief valve was set at 1300, I raised it to 1900.

    Good wood stove ? basment or living room

    I'm thinking wood is the only way to go. I ran out of wood last winter because the woodsplitter wouldnt split the 2 cords I had left, so i paid a fortune in fuel oil. I would have been better off buying wood already split than buying fuel oil. I plan on doing 80% wood this winter.Someone told...
