I have been thinking. If I had a device to pick up those big rounds, and spin them, it would be nice. They weigh about 400 lbs ea.
Or a device mounted on the stationery end of the log splitter, that could pick them up, and rotate them. Even a pry bar, with a kink in it, and a flat bar on the ground. Just some way to lift and rotate those big rounds. Often the splitter does not succeed in separating the 2 halves in one pass. I usually make one split with the hydraulic splitter, then whack the other side with my old splitting maul, until they separate. Even getting those halves back into the splitter is a job. Is there a mechanical solution? I could sure use one. Thanks!
