Split wood yourself or hire somebody?

Sounds like a mate of mine. We used to go to the gym together and he'd do two lengths of the pool and retire to the jacuzzi and sauna. One time he brought his girlfriend along. He was up and down that pool like an Olympic swimmer, twenty lengths or something

Funnily enough if I'm out on my bike I'm always more motivated when following a shapely female:lol: can't think why.

 

Try getting motivated when you split multiple 100s of tons last year and you got to do the same this year plus a3rd.

 

I had a lad at the yard all week splitting went in on a sat 9till 3 and nearly did as much it's a monotonous job.

Funny how much more motivated they become when on a wage plus bonus if you reach a set amount achieved in time, only really works if your filling bags so can easily measure production, lad I know was hitting 40+ bags a day on a palax as was getting paid per bag, became highest paid member of staff by quite a bit!

Good idea gray git. Incentive based work 👍 need the right lad with the right mindset though...!

Always end up doing it our selfs as if we left anyone its usually either way to big or not enough gets done, we have had 2 vertical splitters we bought painfully slow so always favoured a axe, got fed up with that so built a splitter for my self from scratch how i wanted it works a treat and very quick now we have got no heap of wood to split as we keep up with what we bring in.

About 22 is the rite age, young anough to go at it all day, old enough to have grown up and need the money preferably with girlfriend who requires upkeep.

40 bags a day, on arb waste?, even if they are builder bags thats good going, cubic meter bags then its remarkable, what processor, or is that bags of split billets.

Palax processor so not true to the op's arb wast splitting question but sertenly not all perfect timber. Not sure which bags they use but vented one's but possibly not full m3 ones.

A disappearing novelty these days.

More likely to find a hoard of roman coins in the back garden worth a fortune the way things are going.

 

I worked with a lad last week that was so slow and useless lacking mindset, I couldn't grasp why he bothers to breathe!
