Best wedges for billeting


Recommended Posts

Hi jon. Its is mainly ash and sycamore and splitting for firewood (1m long billets). Tried high lifts but don't really want to trash them. Rather save the high lifts for felling so looking for something a bit more bombproof. Wondered if the bahco twisted ones were any good.

Id love a hydraulic one! but at the moment I have no vehicle access to woods til dry weather kicks in so has tobe done manually. Its only 15-20 tonnes to split.

 

Cheers

 

Ive managed to split about 20 ton of oak with a maul and a roughneck wood grenade. But if the wood isn't straight then it becomes bit of a nightmare.
