geek I actually hydraulic splitters more of a pain to use than doing it by hand, except for large stuff. (And I suspect our versions of 'large' are seriously divergent: this isn't particularly large:

My father-in-law claims that oak splits best when it's green and the old boy has done a lot of splitting. He grew up in the back woods of Arkansas in the '30s and they burned oak for cooking and heat

Finally, a topic I can offer some advice on. 8>) I personally find it just as easy to split wood with an ax then with a splitter. Better workout as well. You are suppose to split when green to let th

Two votes for "picking up the wood is most of the work." This is the time to find young kids (that are old enough to know when to stay away as you split) but can pick up the split pieces and stack th

Is any of the tree millable? Can it be used for anything other than fire wood? I hate to see good hard wood used for only firewood if any of it can be used for cabinets, etc.

Some splitters switch between horizontal and vertical. It seems that in the vertical position less lifting is required, which would be a plus with big pieces. I don't know if the rental units can do

No matter what you do, have someone (wife or kids) around to stack. I cut and split and my wife stacked. We moved quite fast, definitely faster than using a hydraulic splitter. Those wedges move slow

Of this one, I've seen similar anyway--the stripping/skinning attachment is new to me. These are scary as far as how quick man can strip a forest. At least the forest in this video is forest crop lan

My experience splitting fir, hemlock, alder and a little maple is that it's always easier to split when it's green. I've used a maul and wedges, and I have owned a splitter for at least 15 or 20 year
