Just had word that an 066 Magnum I refurbed for a local customer that was then sold to A N Other has been stolen from him.

The saw was distinctive - full wrap handle, Magnum plastics and I think the Stihl stickers were Canadian, DEFINITELY NOT UK spec - if one comes up, let me know - the inner air box was newly fitted so may look fresher than the rest - sorry, no Serials etc

Nice bit of kit[emoji108]just strikes me you could have split a log that size with an axe and made a cup of coffee in the time it takes[emoji38]

I get that. [emoji4]

 

I use a pair of Stihl Tongs to pick up the rounds. And I split directly into a bogie. I fill a 1.25m3 vented bag in under an hour and dont even break a sweat. I bust my balls with plenty other things around the house and land, I dont need to add to it. Ive also had lower back surgery this year and got my neck due later this year. The constant bending with a maul to split, then to fill the bogie is actually slower and mind numbingly boring. I wish I had a good 4 way splitter and a set of tongs years ago,

Totally understand and yeah some timber is never going to split with an axe quickly. Sounds like you have it sussed ?

Just thought I'd ask? Neat set up there, you can tow around too?

Splitting with a stump,tyre and maul. Split, move around split again, lift the 4 pieces out and dump in the trailer or whatever. Or pop on the splitter, 12 seconds later you have 4 pieces you push over into the bogie. :D While the ram is retracting you're already loading the next piece. 

 

 

Placing your hand on the end of the log is not necessary each time. :P

 

Id honestly go up against someone for 3 hours straight and see if they could remotely keep up with a Splitter without breathing out their arse.  :D
