My homemade 3pth splitter doesn't look like much but it does split large wood. It has a 4 inch piston with a 2.5 inch diameter ram. I was using it today to split up some 2 foot rounds into quarters. From there they will go on the Super Split to be split into woodstove size pieces.I bought mine used and added the side wings to it. I also read that it is a project to assemble. If you have a lift or tractor that makes life easy to put it together. The splitter works fine. I just find that my 3pth splitter is easier to use than the vertical part of the North Star.
One thing I did with the North Star was to attach diamond plate on the bracket over the gas tank. Splitting wood has dented in the top of the tank by the previous owner. I popped the tank back out. To put gas in it I need to flip the Ram up into the vertical position.I bought mine used and added the side wings to it. I also read that it is a project to assemble.

As was said, even if it was just for the customer service/ warranty I'd go for the fiscars. When mine got broken they sent a replacement, no questions asked, just had to send a couple pics.So at home Depot today I seen this? Is it a generic x27? Any thoughts or opinions?

That round looks like it weighs 100lbs, most our hardwoods wouldn't move at all when set up like that, then again we also wouldn't try to lift them up like that.It split with a mual like a breez after busting it in half with the sledge.

Back that thing up and gas on it, honda power .Looks like Im about ten or so pages behind and have some reading to do! Went on another trophy hunt for fair chase Blacktial. Two day one night with good friend and hunting partner i grew up and went to school with!
We each spotted nice mature shooter bucks on day one in two different spots. We executed our stalks best we could. His ghosted him and slipped away. We saw my buck later that afternoon. I got out smarted too. Ghosted! The big bucks won that hunt. My partner ended up with a young fork fir meat twords the end of day two. We probably saw a total of about 75 deer between the two days. The two we went after were definitely the biggest out of all the males we saw. Wish I got more photos.

So its back to the scrounge.
I put this one across a stump to keep it up off the ground and out of the snow fir bucking. Worked out pretty good! View attachment 1037156

Yes sir and again I love it. Lots of good info and interesting stories.It’s because people are sharing their current activities and interests.
Those Golden Years are not so golden for guys that really worked hard physically all their life.Thanks to everyone who posted about tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, backs, knees, hips...etc lol. It's good to know that I'm not the only one who's buggered up!
Oak that big I quarter them to make it easier to handle.Thanks landfakers that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. I have a couple monster red oaks to take down and wanted to atleast halve them or quarter them first. No fun dealing with 24-36" rounds, the 24" rounds I had already were hard to split with splitter in the vert and horizontal positions. Thanks again for the info
You make me tired watching that hard work.It split with a mual like a breez after busting it in half with the sledge.
