Today I split four loads of pine and then brought it over to the outside fireplace. After I started the fire, I ran around the trails picking up another five loads of dead pine branches that were reduced to ashes.

My good neighbor dropped a nice tree off. About 24' diameter ash. Got 5 crates of wood. Some dead trash branches with, but I can't complain. My 3 1/2 year old son stood on rounds next to splitter and i set splits on them and he loaded 1 crate before he got cold. Super nice straight stuff for the most part. Had about 10 wheel barrows of trash after splitting, my wife helped clean up most of it. Most burnt up. Splitter took about 30 pulls to start. Not sure why so cold blooded, was about 36 today.

Last 2 crates stacked really nice. May have to try do more that way. Bit hard to do with my little helper tho!20201219_165112.jpg20201219_165108.jpg

You have something capable of picking that up?
 
@waross Give us the low down on that Eastonmade! What wedges? How is it working? Anything you dislike? Can't be getting getting such a great toy and go radio silent on us!
I got the four way wedge, six way wedge and box wedge. Only have had time to play with one day when not so muddy. Did a face cord of wood in about 15 minutes all by myself. I get a couple guys working with me and sure we can put out wood quicker. Used the box wedge. We will see if I end up switching to one of the other wedges for smaller stuff. Right now the bigger stuff is on top of the pile.

Super jealous! That's my dream splitter. Let me know how the box wedge works. That is one of the items about the EM that interests me a bunch. I get lots of big wood but do get some knarly stuff like elm and sugar maple.
