Ryan, thanks for the info, sounds encouraging. Let me give the my wood friends a little back story. In Ct I sell at least 150 cords per season. All the splitting done with a monster split fire on bobcat and 2 super splits. Transporting wood out of Ct is a nightmare and I figured I would utilize the tractor. My concern with tractor was cycle time,but the dealer assured me that with the pto it will be ok. Since I am in chill mode in Vt and transporting machines back and forth doesn't sound like fun, I went this route. Time will tell....
