I miss my tire!

[STIHLY DAN]

Did a good bit of splitting this weekend, problem is my splitting block with tire is buried under the snow full of solid ice. My spare 20 inch tire is lost in the snow somewhere. My back is killing me from all the extra bending over. The wood was difficult to split so it fell of the block even more. Man a tire is a back saver.

I've been using my little electric splitter. It got kind of cold just sitting there. That is the one thing I've bought that I've gotten way more out of it than the price I paid for it. But it saves my back for other distasteful chores.

Ditto, wait for warmer weather. No worries, your tire will thaw out.

Wow, you really sound like you are "TIRED".

This spring will be my first year testing out the tire method. I'm curious.

Was there a reason to sit the log on a block? Just sit it upright on the ground and no lifting that way. If one tips over you can stand it back up with the axe.

Yes to low, That also hurts my back. Had back surgery many years ago, it's as strong as an ox but certain bend positions and jumping are its kryptonite.

Still splitting like a cave man? I remember thinking, in the 70ies, anyone uses a splitter is a sissy. But there comes a time when: You gota have a snow blower, and You gota have a splitter! Don't you think?

From what I've read on another forum Stihly has gone Husqvarna lately. I've had both too and both are good saws. Lately I've been lugging a 390XP and I'd like to have a 55cc or so saw again also. No money for one now though.
