Good morning Gents.
I split about 8 cords of wood a year and was wondering what size splitter would best suit me.
Red Oak is the most plentiful hard wood around these parts. It's also the most annoying to split because of all the cross fibers.
I've been using a buddy's splitter for years and I'm unsure of the tonnage it was rated at.
My firebox can only take 18-20" logs. After taliking to my buddy Dan, I've decided on a 27 ton/6.5 Hp machine. I was gonna go with a 32 ton but was told it's really not necessary for my use.
What's say You?
