I'm a hydraulic splitter myself I use a 20 ton splitter. I stopped till the summer heat tones down a bit. Because I love to split firewood its just I hate to set up and and shut down with in a few hours. I can do it for the whole afternoon if the weather is cool enough. But we have been seeing 95-105*F temps here at the house all summer. Ughhh... Just to darn hot to do it right now.

What type of wood are you splitting? i gotta charge some camera batteries then i'll get you some pics of what i do.

i cut and make tables and Mantels out of Alligator juniper, i burn for heat what isn't able to be sold, i also burn Oak, and Aspen.

i only go through about 3-4 cords a year. i start my fires with aspen, then burn a log or two of juniper, then stock overnight with OAK. and stoke all day with oak as well. after work i do partial clean out beings i try and keep most of the hot coals.

the saws i user are a Sthil 066 w/25 or 32" bar, and a 360 with a 20" bar and a 026 with 18 or 16" bars.

What type of wood are you splitting?

Alpine Fir, White Fir, Red Fir, Lodge Pole, Yellow Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Spruce, etc. All soft wood... I burn roughly 10-12 cords a winter for 2 houses and 1 shop stove.

I haven't quite figured out what I'm gonna do, wood-wise. Dr's don't want me doing that kinda work just yet.. Which sucks.

I don't count on this subject since I'm lazy and buy my firewood and then hire someone to stack it in the wood shed :lol:. I live on the west side (warmer ) so it only takes 1 and a 1/2 cords each winter :tease:
