Cool photos, Jags. I had only seen one of those, the boy on the tractor, who I think you called your grandson in an earlier post. Never saw that wagon, and I always love pic's of your splitters.

I'll match your elm with oak. This one stood over the picnic grove at Old Goshenhoppen Church (founded 1735'ish), until hurricane Sandy broke it off about 15 feet above the ground. Diameter was 60" where I cut the stump, and the rounds I brought home (all above that 15 foot height) were up to 49" diameter.

Never get tired of that elm photo. ;-)

Those rounds are what I call "medium," around here! I like the "posted" sign...how did it burn?
 
Those are not the biggest I have worked up, but they were big (54" if I remember correctly). The sign was decimated during the splitting process.;lol
Anything that starts getting upwards of 50" or more I throw into the "big" category.
 
I never did put a tape on this one. My 25" bar missed center by about 8" coming from both sides.

It was dropped with an old Mac110 with a big bar.
 
Wow... yeah, that's big! They looked like less than 30" in the photo!
 
Man you guys have some sweet toys. All I have is an old garden tractor.

That splitter was completely buried most of the winter, and encased in solid ice for weeks after our big ice storm. No splitting was done all winter!

C'mon guys... some of you must have some interesting photos on your phones. Let's see em.

I spent last week mountain biking in Utah. Mountain Biking is my other hobby. The common link (pun intended) between hobbies is a chain :). Here are some photos from my phone:

He'll learn soon enough that you don't want any body parts to the side of the wedge when a split explodes. <> :oops:

Pic one was a picture of a chain grinder for doing square ground chisel. That one is a Simington swing arm. It does a great job.

he was helping me split some standing dead pine rounds i had bucked for shoulder season burns so we were being careful. He did however learn that having his head close under the operating lever to watch the ram retract smarts a bit as it snaps back down automatically.

I was just discussing this, as one of the reasons I dislike splitting vertically, with a friend today. I seem to get bopped in the head by that blasted lever at least a few times each year. It hurts more than you'd expect.
