Thanks SO, the 36 inch bar for the 075 & 090 came in the other day so I grabbed it today at our local shop. I might try milling the Hemlock with the 075 along with the 660 this weekend.I love pictures of Zap's enchanted forest....

Just having some fun Zap. Dennis would be proud. I do most horizontal because I have the side table. I do go vertical on the monsters.Oregon Bigfoot, I would hate to split everything by hand, it is a hell of a workout.
Locust Post, with the size of the rounds I split tonight horizontal works better, bigger heavier rounds vertical is my choice.

Zap, Dennis is never gonna buy thatSplit that White Pine we took down Sunday, it was split horizontal because we had a bunch of smaller rounds.

I know what you mean, it's sure a workout to hand split. Back in the 80's, I've cut/split/loaded 2 cords in a day a few times. Now, I can't split much more than 1/3 to 1/2 cord, and my back just screams, STOP! In fact, after the first split now, my back says CAUTION!
After I posted above, I went to a Wilco Farm Store in Silverton, OR, and looked at a couple Speeco splitters. The 22 ton was $1299 and the 35 ton was $1799. Oregon has no sales tax, so there is a little savings. Looks like it will be a few Chrismas's until I can afford one. I guess I'll be splitting by hand for a while longer, I have a lot of wood to process, as soon as it stops raining here. It's too muddy to get my truck to the piles I have in the queue. We do have warm/sunny days in the 70's "scheduled" starting Sunday for an extended period.
Pictures or it didn't happenI've decided to no longer split my wood horizontally or vertically . . . I'm going to split it diagonally . . . and get the best of both worlds.
The purchase price of a log splitter is cheaper than one back problem and a lot less painful. Just say'in.Will pay you back for many years to come. & help extend your wood processing career.
Zap - what are those bars holding the stacks up?
I'm not sure what they are, Sav brought them all the way from his house!Zap - what are those bars holding the stacks up?
Very commonly referred to as a "T" post.I asked that question a year ago or so and they told me they're posts they get from TSC, I guess its like a fence post you stick in the ground,
