My first AS post was a question about the price for a load of tan oak logs.

What was yours?



"Getting ready to build a vertical log splitter (I know, I know..... would be cheaper to buy full up unit but I have a new in the crate Yanmar L100AE and access to free/really cheap steel and other resources and I want a 30" capacity)
Looking at a 5" x 30" cylinder but the prices vary by quite a bit- from around $400 for the low end (Maxim brand I believe?) to around $800 for a welded Prince Gladiator for example.

My question is the added expense for the higher quality needed/worth it?

Oh yeah..... new to the forum/first post. Howdy."
 
mine was thanking everyone for posting and for the site. Because I bought a 372xp based off of what I read. Thanks again. Great saw.

It was looking for information on intermediate supports for downhill yarding with a skyline. I didn't get much info. In fact, I don't think I got any. But the loggers figured it out, and very little damage occurred. Anytime downhill yarding is done, production is cut in half and damage increases.
