My Edumacation at Hearth.com: Vocabulary word of the day, Palletization.

[davidmsem]

With the splitter on hand and ready to go, I made a trip to get some pallets and hopefully setup based on my learning from Hearth.com. The lumber yard near me gets rid of them for free

If I let the wood season outside the shed, do I need pallets on the floor of the shed? There is a 6 mil moisture barrier under the shed with about 3 tons of gravel. Any opinions on that???

Additionally I ran the new County Line 22 ton for 4 hours today under no-load for the break-in. Changed over to Mobil 1 fully synthetic 10-30W. Capped off the hydraulic fluid and gas. She is ready.

Having fun.....what a helpful place this has been

Thanks.

I probably would put pallets down in the shed.

Am I correct someone dug a hole, lined the hole with plastic, then filled the hole with gravel and put a shed over it?

if I am correct I believe the plastic will prevent ground water coming up, but also prevent rain and condensate from draining down.

Why would you run a splitter for 4 hours with no load?

Just run it like you normally would and change the oil.

Nice setup you have. I'd still put the wood on something to raise it off the ground.

Easy break in.....that oil is really light that they have.

Pallets help get some air under the wood, I would use them.

I put Mobile 1 synthetic in all my small engines. Cheap insurance . Especially for generators. I've ran mine for over a weak at a time.

I got a 70cc dirt bike for my son at Tractor Supply. The owners manual stated it was not meant to be ran with the oil it was shipped with. When I drained it, it looked like vegetable oil. Told a guy at TS about it. He said, "I'm glad you told me, we play around on those things all the time."
