small logsplitter advice please

[18 stoner]

My thoughts exactly. I'd hate to see him spend say 300quid on something that will struggle to do the job, if it was nice straight grained timber it wouldnt be a issue, but well-seasoned, twisty rings from the bottom end of the butt of beech is going to push a small machine to (IMO) beyond its capability. He's from 'oop North somewere, so grudges spending a shilling, mind I could lend him maul and grenade so he sees what real work is.

 

If he is our part of "North" Andy, i may let him try mine. Where is he?

He's wisely moved down here, to the Land of Milfs & Money, still a bit tight though.

He should do well then if he's retained his better qulities:001_tt2:

Andy i have a 5 ton horizontal splitter as i only split wood for my own fire, its quite impresive what they split, although if anything was difficult its big discs of timber as its so awkward to split and balance, but once they are halfed they split no problem.

 

i think he would be fine i got mine off ebay with a stand and it was only £200.

 

pro titan or something.
