I brought my log splitter home to process the eucalyptus I brought home last week. Usually I only split with a maul but this stuff was in the sun too long and it is like stone. I snapped a picture of the garden tractor and splitter.

That's a Cub Cadet 1000 (August 1977) pulling a Lickety Log Splitter (unknown year) I practically grew up on this 1000 and I got the splitter for free with a blown engine. I reworked them both and they run great. I plit about 1/2 cord this afternoon with the splitter. The tractor will see some use hauling wood once I get a cart and the woodshed built.
Both of these machines have Kohler K-series engines. They are bulletproof - cast iron blocks, no plastic. The Cub has a steel ladder frame and is built like a tank. I love old equipment that is built right.
