I took down some trees last january to make room for my brothers new pole barn at his houes. I got the chance to grab some of it 2 weeks ago and again at the last minute yesterday. I split the wood with my brother.. He took half and i got half. All free BTUs. The first pic is of what i took 2 weeks ago and is already split. Its a shoulder season mix, poplar and white oak. The second pick is all white oak for the winter/colder months. All the large oak rounds were quartered up already, i had a bobcat with a jackhammer run through them. No heavy lifting or putting them on the splitter. I have a little work to do on the wood shed this week and i will start loading the splits in the shed. The wood were working on now is for the 24/24 or 25/26 burning season not sure which but its somwhere around there.

Nice.

A jackhammer to split wood? This sounds like a great idea, particularly on big pieces and a bobcat.

Just as an FYI... i'v used the jack hammer alot in the past. It works great on the hardwoods. This was my first time with it on poplar.. the rounds we were working with were in the 36in diameter range. The softer poplar was not able to be quartered with the jack. Its to soft and i got the jack hammer stuck in the rounds a number of times.. and it was a b!tch getting it out of a round that big... so don't use this technique on a true non Hardwood
