I stack my wood in a manner so as there is around a 10" space between the two outside rows. In that space I stack the uglies and chunks that don't fit anywhere else. That way you never know they are even in there til it's time to burn 'em........Some of those are okay to have around but they are a pain to store. I usually throw some on the top of my piles and some find there way to the outside firepit pile.
One of the few trees that a 35 ton spliter is needed for. One of the worst rounds seemed to take an hour to split. That 12 1/2 horse briggs really sucks the gas down.
I'd have left those in the woods. Too much work for this hand splitter. I stay far enough ahead that I can pass on ugly stuff like that. If that is working your machine that hard, I couldn't imagine splitting it by hand. Are you using more fuel to split it than you can save burning it?

That would have been interesting to have my little 20 ton splitter along side of your 35 ton to compare. For sure ours would use a bit less gas as we have only a 5 hp engine! I've always thought it would be interesting to get several splitters together, not for any contest but just to see the difference in them.
I'm with Scotty on those. I'd just cut em up with the saw. That Rancher should do fine if you have good sharp chain on it.
