My new Toy!

[Plow Boy]

Link Removed Link Removed I thought I would post some pics of my new toy from TSC. If anybody is looking to get one now is a good time. You can get zero percent same as cash until 2015. Thanks to everyone that gave me feedback on their wood splitters while I was looking!

Splitters make it fun, don't they! I still like to bust up a cord from time to time with the maul, but it's a nice feeling to know you can throw those nasty azz knots and knurls to the side and kill 'em with the hydraulics, isn't it?

my FIL just bought one on that sale at TSC. Finally, he'll quit asking to use mine every summer.....

Think that's fun
Wait til you use it in the vertical mode while sitting on a milk crate

Nice addition to the firewood tool box!

Ah ha! Dave beat me to the punch on this one.

Just come in from splitting wood, I split little over a cord today. It was in the high 80's with humidity about a gazillion percent and I was still having a blast. There is just something about watching wood crack that is just so fun. LOL

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Hopefully some of this nice weather we are having will make its way down to you. It really feels great after all the humid sticky crappy weather we had. Might be going down to 50 tonight. It will be very welcome.

 

[Plow Boy]

That would be nice BS. It has been pretty bad here with servere thunderstorms everyday with down pours. We have been getting a whole lot of rain and really high humidity days. If it doesn't stop soon my garden will be toast. I noticed today that my squash is turning brown

My favorite part of running the splitter is to put a nasty, knarly round on deck, that has around 20 knots coming out of it, knowing damm well that in a matter of a few minutes and some poppin' and crackin', that nasty round will become splits for the pile.....

 

[Plow Boy]

Yeah I had a couple that popped and squealed. It scared the crap out of my wife! LOL. It seems like the more noise they make the more I feel like I accomplished

I bought the same splitter last year and love it! You will very much enjoy that thing

 

[Trilifter7]

I got the same one 3 years ago and still going strong! It's a work horse!

 

[Plow Boy]

Good deal. I did a lot of research and nobody came close to tsc for the money

 

[Ram 1500 with an axe...]

Awesome.... Good for you!

 

[westkywood]

Popular splitter. Goes through anything.

 

[Plow Boy]

I noticed a lot of people on this forum had picked it.

 

[Plow Boy]

One thing I noticed that was odd to me was the primer bulb has a hole in it. I thought it was damaged so I went to tsc today after work to get a new one and it had a hole in it. According to the guy who assemblies them there he says it has a diaphragm behind the primer bulb to keep the gas in and the foreign material out.

What if you want a TSC and ou don't live anywhere near one? Can you still get one at a deal?

I forget where you are in Jersey, but here's a list of tsc within 100 mi. I used somerset, nj? You can usually get the $999 deal anytime, just ask the manager, explain the distance traveled to purchase

Heres a few more south.....

Thank you, they are over 2 hours away, do you think they deliver?

 

[osagebow]

Congrats plowboy! had my 22 busting some gnarly silver maple today.Muggy as heck. Luckily I was next to my neighbor's pool at the time.

I'd get it delivered, Ram...they don't tow very well!

a little wood trivia if u will. can anyone guess the wood i split in the first pictures (piled up beside the splitter). it is all the same type except for a couple pieces on the top, extra credit if u can guess those as well.
and yes i know for sure what type they are.
