Sav I Found It!

[thewoodlands]

Sav I was going through some old pictures like usual and came across the milk crate, it's been back in this location minus the stack of cherry for sometime.

Great find Zap! lol Now you can put it to good use.

Zap, what kind and how big of a splitter do you have?

We have the American CLS 24 Ton Vertical/Horizontal and I picked up a second splitter like Sav's, a MTD 20 Ton Vertical/Horizontal.

Spliter the reason I picked the second splitter up was so I could bring it up top and cover it and leave it, It's a good size hill that I need to haul the splitter up and the American CLS weighs close to 600 pounds plus I cut on the lower part of the property which I use the 24 ton most of the time.

Uh Zap, just how much property you got there, that you need two splitters to cover the upper and the lower territories?

You got me thinking for the future when I might be ready to go hydraulic. My property stretches out over a 7700 sq ft area (110 ft x 70 ft), do you think I could get away with only one splitter? ;-)

Looks like you're having a great time with all them toys. :cheese:

Carbon, I don't think it is so much the size of Zap's property, although he has a good sized chunk of land, but he also has some pretty tough terrain; steep hills.

Carbon_Liberator Sav is correct, the hill going up top is steep enough that we made the purchase of the second splitter for safety reasons, the MTD stays up top. Great time = No Oil Deliveries since Jan. 2009. :coolsmile:

Zap, how do you feel about the 20 ton splitter. I'm looking.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

wood splitter, I can't answer for Zap but can tell you about our 20 ton splitter. Perhaps you've seen some of my posts, but we've had ours somewhere around 20 years and have had zero problems. It splits everything we need splitting. Well, there was one split that we did not get split. Perhaps we could have but it was a knotty nasty elm and wasn't worth much. I simply threw it on a brush pile and forgot all about it. In the 20 years we've had this splitter it has split maybe 200 cord give or take. With the 2-stage pump, it splits like a breeze and is plenty fast. Ours has a Briggs and Stratton 5 hp engine.

Spliter so far it has split everything I put in front of it, sugar maple,beech and cherry. Started great in the dead of winter also, Sav has the same splitter and can vouch for it's durability.

I saw that after I posted, spliter are you getting any strong winds tonight?

[wood spliter]

Yes, real strong winds. But we have had them so much this fall I think everything is already down.

They are supposed to kick in between 10:00 pm tonight through the morning.
