The Gear room is where you beat your chest about stuff like this.Sweet looking splitter.
Nice splitter. What model is that? I have the TW-P1 myself and I LOVE it. They are very very well made machines.
I'd say at least half of the members here have a splitter or rent one once or twice a year. The rest of us do it by hand either because we're cheap or we need the exercise.
Check out the gear room for splitter threads daily!

Mines a 22 ton homemade one. I have to make everything at least once to prove to myself that I can do it, but its not worth the time and effort. Could have bought one for just a little more money. It is well built however. It splits everything I have ever put in it. My other is a 10 lb maul although im looking for a heavier one.
33 ton . It seems like you wouldnt need one that strong. Can you crosscut with it also if you sharpen the wedge? I would think it would crush right through
you dont, and its probably like the HP rating. My 31 ton maybe just like the 22 or 25 ton today.who knows
i have gotten the fuild so hot in my 27 ton, that you couldnt touch it. 33 ton sounds betterAdios Pantalones said:
is fuild another way of saying the hyraulic piston. Will it overheat if you try to split difficult wood. Sometimes mine stops and I have to reposition the wood. will this overheat and ruin it?

It seems like it starts to loose some power with the more wood it splits in a day.
i have about a cord that i cant get to with the splitter up to the wood i am trying to find the best hand held but i think they all take a lot of one man powerNoah said:

There was a time I had a thinner one to cut down cedar and hauled the cut up logs for a cedar fence out of the swamp on my shoulder(s). (or on two shoulders with a helper)
Can imagine doing whole cords of wood (from fell to splits) with just axes and wedges.
me neither but thers a fence at the bottom of the hill and the round are 30to35 in. didnt fell it with an ax used chainsaw for thatbillb3 said:
