Just curious what the general consences was on this wood. My local tree company called me a few weeks ago to pick up some big elm. Sure no problem. These guys give me lots of wood so i just got in the truck and went for it..got there and..holy hell this stuff is heavy...made two trips and burned probably 50 bucks in gas in the truck to get it. Wait a week and go to spilt it. No freakin way could i even touch that stuff. I dont have the strongest splitter out there but it isnt a slouch either..it has a 16 gmp pump and a 5 inch clyliner. I attached a picture of my splitter i built...I ended up haveing to haul both loads away again and dump them in a swamp..worst part is my tree guy called again today and said he had another big elm and when i said i couldnt split it he said he had another old fella that didnt mind it..Didnt mind it? How the hell can he make use of it..i have a feeling i lost my free wood from this tree cutter is the worst part about this..errde
