Firewood making, and with this chainsaw for the first time (a different cylinder rescued from scrap metal, cleaned + slightly modified + new meteor piston).

I really want an Eastonmade box wedge splitter, but, had to settle for a cheap 37 ton for now. I added custom tables from custom scrap metal :-D I had in my garage from a trailer build and I am probably putting a boat winch on to haul up heavy pieces on a ramp.

The table on the operator side is closer to the splitter, then I found out my lack of materials (why it was narrower) was better because you do not have to lean in to put stuff onto the splitter or to move split stuff.

I added a flip up wheel at the end from scrap steel and a spare poly wheel I had laying around. So, if I lift something too heavy onto it and it is not attached to the truck, then it does not end up flipping to the ground. Plus, it can help when moving it by hand. I added a boat jack and wheel to the front too since the OEM flat foot one is welded to the frame.

I paid $1500 17 gpm, 8 gallon tank, B&S 10 HP. Some design feature flaws and this is the 1st log splitter I had that I had to be so careful making sure it was level so the fluid would not foam and puke. I added dextron to the AW32 so I could determine the fill level. Overall I am happy with it and the company shipped a replacement hose ASAP. For what it is, I think this is the best 37 ton on the market for the price. Probably why it sold out.

I have owned the Northern 37 ton and I think I paid $2200 or $2500 for that about six years ago, but, I sold it. The 4 way was basically useless on it when doing large sweetgum and red oak rounds.

Included pictures of my off road tractor I use to pull my trailers and log splitter around ;-D

First time in my life I added a winch to the front of my truck, I blew a hub in the mud while pulling my trailer. I had them before in the bed of my trucks, but, I was defeated by Georgia clay mud and AT tires. Really need mud tires and lockers.

Do you bring a small splitter with you or use an axe?

I have used my saws, even my (RIP) Poulan Wildthing 2375 (?) to "noodle' and split firewood when I did not have a splitter handy.

I dont have a splitter so, I normally have my axe and maul with me. I will noodle the bigger rounds, but with most of this stuff being tops, it splits nicely.

When I lived in NH we used to hand split everything, but, then I encountered sweet gum in GA ... things changed after that, I bought my 1st gas chainsaw in 2002ish. I really need to get an ATV myself, though I am thinking about building one custom with hydraulics.

I bet. 25" bar is right in the wheelhouse of that saw. It's all the little things that are done and the attention to detail that all add up...[emoji106][emoji631][emoji1063]
