Got the splitter and the dolly both at tractor supply co. It works great for pulling the splitter around the yard. Would not be able to do it without it. Maybe next year I will purchase a lawn tractor for such chores. But this year a new saw and log splitter was the idea.
 
This is what we call a load of poles or a triaxle load. I don't know how to compare it to a grapple load. it was $700.00 not bad I think

looks efficient to me. + keep the cars off ur lawn?

It's a nice area to process because it's paved, and it's a side shoot off my main driveway... completely out of the way.

Grapple, triaxle, Same thing... We gave it the name grapple because of the grapple arm on the triaxle truck...

We paid $550 last year, $575-630 in our area this year... Those fuel surcharges are a bastard...

Butcher, I bought one of these...works like a champ for scooting the splitter around. That tongue is kinda heavy, and to grab it on the end of the hitch just gets grease all over my hand. I like the big pneumatic tires on this dolly, they don't mind the gravel & dirt so much. Came with a ball smaller than the splitter hitch is designed for, but it just doesn't matter, it works. Very handy. Rick
