This is split "horizontal". Will it burn ?

Oh my goodness, don't be saying things like that. We will end up like Russia, the sky will fall on us

Backwoods is thinking about how to make a cider press out of a hydraulic splitter... Could you do that horizontally?

Horizontal or vertical wouldn't matter Backwards, need some apples first! :D

For sure lets hope for a better spring this year. I need to get the trees pruned yet too.

You better get at it. The orchards near me have pruned already!

It can't get any worse than last year.

Nice view Bogydave. I live in the part of Ohio known as the flatlands. Flat as a pancake. I love the mountains. At least to look at them.
All this talk about vertical spliting vs. horizontal. I tried the vertical once for the final splits. I found it hurt my back
And talk about pruning the fruit trees. A lady working for came from an orchard where she helped them finish pruning the whole apple orchard. They chipped all branches and she said there were a lot of big ones in there. I missed it. I could have taken all I wanted. Yes, lets hope for a better season this year. The orchard I visit in the fall for apple picking last year had a 75% loss. Can't keep that going for long.
