If not, you need to build/buy something better. Any decent splitter would eat that up.

Don't let the looks fool ya...24" round, white oak, dead for 3 yrs.

Stay tuned..

I would think it could.

Piece of cake!! Or your splitter is in dire need of an overhaul!:msp_thumbup:

I'd have that busted up with my Fiskars in 30 seconds. Maybe a couple minutes with the splitter. If your's wont do it then it sounds like a cry for help.

I think my DR would bust it so fast your teeth would rattle. Lester

white oak is stringy, but even so, you should be able to split it without much fuss.

if it doesn't, then i'd redesign that wedge by adding 1 1/2" angle plates to the end of it to help open the split.

the way you have it is like a knife and nothing to really open the wood up.

just my opinion.

I've split bigger with a 20 ton husky. If your splitter has trouble with it, i wold be in the market for another.

That looks pretty straight grained. I'm pretty confident that my Ryobi 4 ton electric splitter could handle it. Here's a video I made of my Ryobi splitter in action.

I have a little bitty Didier 20 with a 19 inch stroke rated at probably 8 tons and I have split a lot bigger hedge and oak with it. I bought this little splitter when I lived in town and I would not hesitate to split that round with it, assuming it is short enough to fit.

I also have a 27 ton splitter for longer pieces and know it would get that done.

I don't know about your splitter, but my little Log Boss would turn a 24-inch diameter, three-year-old, white oak round into tooth picks without so much as a grunt.
Now a crotch would make it balk a little... just a little.

I decided to vote no, just because.

Hey, I bought a mega-millions ticket last Friday at much worse odds, and this is free!

Plus, how do I know if it has gas in it or if the hoses are ka-put?

 

[Ironworker]

I don't know where you live or what size trees you have, but that round really is not that big, man I thought I was gonna be shocked or something, c'mon man.

!! "NO" !! theres not enough air in your right tire.....

 

[SPDRMNKY]

up yers'...cuz' I think the tire on your other trailer is flat, and you're just clamping the rounds with the ram to haul em' over to that fancy smokehouse with the shiny chimney :tongue2:

If it won't split that little log, you would better off with scrap price for that piece of junk.

I think you can do it. If you split off center like that, she'll go through that like a hot knife in butter. Even if it was 3 yrs. old, I know mine would split that thing like nothing. I've did Elm just as big a few years back. It had to kick in and grunt but she spilt it.

Crank that puppy up.. :msp_wink:

Does your splitter run? I would love to show you how my Monster Maul could solve your problem.
