Thanks I was going to purchase a tw 5 but they only had a tw6 left bigger than I thought it was. Looks well constructed I have split 15 cords with my old splitter which is a troy built and it is good but hardly commercial production rated. I bet the 25 plus cords I have laying now will be split up before winter now. I am tired of it rotting and this may add a few $ to the budget when winter sets in. I also heat with wood only so will save much time processing my own as well. I hope it is not too hard to sell 60 or so cords yearly but am willing to try.

Timberwolf TW6.......... Awesome splitter it will make splitting Firewood a breeze now you will be shopping for a conveyor as well.......... It makes alot of firewood in a hurry with that 8 sec cycle time...

I may very well be looking at a conveyor but will wait to let some money come in first. This was a big purchase for me but I felt good about it because I know it will eventually pay for itself. I was going to get a band mill at first but really there is so many around it may be cheaper to buy my lumber and get an Alaskan or beam machine for timbers since I already have a near new 395xp! My thinking in this stale economy is people will start burning wood.

Lol I told the wife I am putting floodlights on it for August heat days to split some after sunset It is 12 volt electric start so should be an easy addition.

No on the factory lighting kit....... I suppose it would not be too hard to fab a couple rubber mounted tractor lights on a post bolted to the frame.... The 12volt electric system of the Honda GX610 will handle that as long as you don't get too carried away and try to light it up like a ball park....

The hunt can be arranged.

 

[Moss Man]

You gonna love that rig, they are so highy acclaimed. I been sniffing conveyors too, but the budget has been blown for this year.

 

[stihl sawing]

You're talkin about lights on it, I put some floods on a wing that i store the wood in a long time ago. The mosquitos are so bad this year, They will eat you up around here after dark and before too. Actually they will chew on ya all day long this year.

 

[ropensaddle]

Yup then I will be on vacation while your getting your chores done lmao

 

[cuttinscott]

A quick heads up for you especially if your going to be splitting huge diameter blocks of wood. Go grab some MADE IN USA Grade 8 bolts for the gibbs on the push block, the China made FASTENAL bolts are JUNK and will break off or bend and cause the gibbs to loosen

Scott



Did I mention that Fastenal bolts with JH markings on the head are china made crap...

 

[ropensaddle]

Anyone know how much wood fits on a semi?
