I have been looking at some log splitters that tilt to vertical. What I am trying to do is spare my back from lifting some of these heavy rounds I cut.
Anyone using their log splitter in the vertical position? How well does it work? Would I be better off getting a splitter with a log lift and just split horizontal?
Any tips, advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
I absolutely do! 32" solid beech rounds 18-20" long - best of luck lifting that up! My back starts hurting again just thinking about that! I slipped a disc and pinched the psyiatic (sp?) nerve in Jan by doing just that, lifting heavy wood for 2 days and I was in pretty good shape (bad technique I later found out)......I love the vertical position option (no jokes, I know) THe hydraulic lift will cost some $$$$
