easy way to split large beech rounds

[robert t]

Get the young one to push the lever on the splitter while I sit in the warm digger. :001_tt2:I turn the round 180 then 90 after splitter goes through the round then drop from height and it brakes into 4 smaller more manageable pieces. Quite time consuming ringing up and splitting these big rounds and for £65 a bag not the quickest way of making a pound. Suppose I shouldn't complain at least I got paid for felling the tree in the first place:biggrin:

Cunning! Now I just need to get myself an excavator with a grab and I shall be away! In truth, all my stuff is small diameter, but good thinking nevertheless.

Nice digger!! what size is she? I like things that makes life easier:thumbup:

A machine to lift a little ring like that onto the splitter we would put one of those twice that size under each arm to carry to split

i thought i was lazy getting a log splitter, on monday we had the splitter and two axes on the go (broke one of the axes too), if you get any lazier you will likely be accused of being american:thumbup:

get yourself a pecker and knock them into quarters, works a treat:thumbup1:

Ha ha Dave, good one. Maybe ten years ago, must be getting old and soft.

 

Stephen, I would rather spend my money now on machinery that makes my life easy. Down side is waist line increasing with less phisical work.

I meant a hydraulic pecker for the digger, you can really bust up rings with them:thumbup1: Kit gets my vote everyday. Just join a gym mate if you are getting fat:biggrin: thats what i did:blushing:

A bit of a blonde moment I know, but if most log splitters have got a two way ram why arnt they made so they can split a log on each stroke ????????? Oh if it aint been done then Ive got dibs on the patent:laugh1:
