Pic of my splitting Sunday...

Here's a pic of what I did on Sunday. All the wood is split very large for use in a furnace, not a fireplace. Its somewhere between 2 and 4 cords, mostly oak

Its a Split-Ez 34 ton, 13HP (Honda GX390) splitter, pictured there in vertical mode. I tell ya, that thing has a 11 sec cycle time on 25 inches travel

Wow!! Nice job, looks good. I myself am getting ready to split up 2 100ft Fir trees already cut into rounds. I am doing it all with my mauls and my son. Fir splits really easy, good straight grained wood kinda like Red Alder. After the Fir I have about 2 cords of Cherry to do....fun fun!!:bang: :bang: :bang: Nice splitter though, I need to get me one of them there splitters Hee hee!!:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Yep, some wood is faster with a maul, for example the poplar (far left). But that twisted maple there in the foreground on the left - the splitter heaves its way through all the way, and then says 'phew'. The oak splits relatively easily though. That's a mix of white and red oaks there on the right.

Dean thats not a bad price for that Bad Boy.. Looks like it really works good..How many cords did you do so far with it?

 

[DeanBrown3D]

Between 20 and 40. I got it last summer.

Any issues with it besides the exhaust noise?? I saw the web site when you posted it and cant seem to find it .. Could you repost it..

Thanks

 

[04ultra]

Never mind I found it..

 

[DeanBrown3D]

Only issues I have with it are that it weighs 1500 lb so I get worn out moving it before I even start splitting!

Just kidding, no real issues. The lever handle is always nearly poking me in the eye when I bend down to pick up split wood, maybe I'll paint it orange or something. I also wish it had a 4-way wedge sometimes.

Dean...Is that the splitter thats made in southern Cal someplace? If you have time would you post the link to their site? Awesome pile of wood, by the way. Now comes the fun part...you get to stack all of it. Thanks, Bob

 

[DeanBrown3D]

All stacked! (Well, the pile on the right is, that's the oak). The left pile is maple and poplar, good for the fireplace, needs further work.
