My neighbor was kind enough offer use of his splitter today. Got most of the remaining rounds split. Due to most rounds of this tree having nice straight grains, I usually only had to run the splitter wedge about 4 - 6" into the wood and it split.

Never used a gas splitter before. This Yard Machines did a fantastic job. Of course now I want one - but I still really can't justify it because my plans are to buy split wood going forward. I say that but I keep getting opportunities for free wood that needs to be split, so I 'never say never' applies here.
