Hey guys, been searching all the threads about the electric ramsplitter.
I have the tools but not the time to build my own splitter and an electric splitter is the only way for me to go since I don't think my neighbors would like to hear an engine running all day and night.
I would like to be able to transport it to my dads house and let him split since the both of us only burn about 5-15 cords total a year(damn them environmental no burn days:msp_mad.
The thing I would like to know is... Will it split wet pine? Right now I have the ryobi 4 ton jobbie and while it is small and slow, it works somewhat for what I get since most of my wood is free from local cutters(could be any species). I recently scored what appears to be about 3 cords of ash, and the ryobi is handling it ok if its strait grained but anything with knots and crotches are a no-go for it.
I have 220v power available at my house but my dad doesn't in his garage. For now it seems that I will need to run it off a 110v circuit. I would like to get the 20 ton but don't think it will run very well on the 110 side. It seems like the 16 ton would be more in the range of what my dad's power source can handle.
Will the 16 ton split wet pine? The pine(mostly from the sf bay are and sometimes from the sierras) I usually get here weighs a ton and is real sappy.
