To be fair I have , in the past , split longer lenghts by laying the log lenghtwise on the ground and standing one leg eaithr side wand winding the axe in that way . Not a novice thing to do though .

Sadly not 3ft, but worth watching for the headwear alone

I'd like to see the video of a 5 foot log 3 feet in diameter being split, without a high dollar processor. I doubt even Buckin' Billy Ray Smith could pull that off, and he has God on his side.

I tend to think leaving things at that length and then trying to split them might not work out very well.

Ah, sounds like the head gasket on the right side has cracked and letting in oil. Bummer 😞

Yea OK .

Ok . I am going to go in with my usual coment . Buy the best pro saw you can afford in the size apropriate to the job in hand . I will get lots of decent from some quaters ( He is a novice ! he should not have a fast cutting saw etc etc ) That is all bollox . As far as I am concerned the faster it cuts the safer it is . If you buy some home owner / semi pro saw and you have got "a bit about you " you will soon wish you had a better / faster saw .

From memory, the Husqy 435 and 440 are near enough the same saw, the 440 is just a bit higher tuned. I had one, think it was the 435. It was fine, fairly plasticy as you would expect. Got replaced by battery saws which was a big improvement.

Depends on the lengths and species, anything up to 4' or 5' length depends on the species and diameter will usually split OK. Note that that was a comment before we got a few more details of the logs he is wanting to cut. I'll often do a few longer lengths - holds the wood piles together better - cut just before use.

First pic, I think I need a flat 24mm wrench! Cant get it with current one second pic, which way does this come out, engine or hopper?

Could do, but the way things are in Norway. I would end up paying more tax and import duty than a couple of RRPro’s. Hence the reason it wasn’t really worth my while.

Is that a 21v one that runs 18b Makita.

How is he going to split it before he cuts it to lenght ? I presume you mean billets ?

Echo offerings may be good to look at. we run the 621x or whatever its called, 60cc pro saw. heaps of grunt, build quality more solid than the 60cc stihls or huskys, starts so easy everytime. Slightly down on power and heavy compared to the other 2 brands but id bet my house it will outlast them

Ouch

I have bloody loads of the refugees on my farm. Could easily get a few with the air rifle if it took my fancy.

Well in the interest of my wife and children I won't be getting any another cockerel intentionally. My wife and her mum purchased 10 light Sussex unsexed, 8 cockerels. 'bluey' was the first to turn, followed by the rest. Took them all to a poultry place and got them back ready for the freezer. Had another beautiful one that was supposed to have been a hen purchased with another group. He was fine then snapped and turned. I was bent down collecting eggs and he nailed me, bit of a gash on me forehead. Then then the latest who is again in the freezer.

Yeah, with logs that size it will eat through the batteries. They're generally good for anything less than the supplied bar length, 10" or so? If you look at the thread I linked too, I think the suggestions in there might be useful for you. Something like the Stihl MS261 (with 16" chain, rather than the 18" option that is often suggested) - assuming most of the logs will be on the 2' side of things rather than 3'. But for that kind of work your budget will be similar to what was asked there,

I love these old trucks. My dream is a URAL 4320 with a crane on it. 75-90L per 100km fuel consumption apparently lol

Best ones I've ever had were the Traditional Bantams. They look after the hens and defend to the death. Light Sussex and Dorkings - full size were absolute b@stards. Rough treading hens and aggressive. Current one has a bantam grandmother and Dorking Dad. He is still wit us at 3 years old. AAHP's look like a large version of a Dutch Bantam we had. Another good keeper. That defended his girls to his unfortunate end. Good luck.

Exactly 😂 thats why i need a upgrade

make sure the others see the whole necking,gutting,cooking,eating process. it might sway their decision to "have a go" next time.

feck me,with a battery dewalt saw,,, I'd be letting dewalt know,, they'll probably sponsor you

Don't buy used off eBay, 50% chance its stolen and 50% chance its not got much life left in it. People don't sell good stuff
