Not So Pro 3

[Lnk]

Good morning, got to get me a log splitter. I think I am getting old! I should not be this sore, but that damn left wrist is still a problem. Oh well. At least I can cut it and stack it!

I bought a cheap 22 ton splitter from Tractor Supply about 15 years ago. All I've ever done to it is change oil. Best money I ever spent.

I do installations. Not logistics. Plus i rightly don't give a dang what they do with it after I'm done.

Just bought one earlier this year.
Arms and shoulders are going to hell.
Takes a little longer on the easy split stuff, but makes up for it in the knotty, stringy stuff.
It just goes through whatever.
Also not as bad handling wood. I back the truck right up to the splitter and stack right in the truck. Only picked up once.

Same one ive got.
County Line brand with a Kohler engine?
I cleaned the carb and changed the oil when I got it.
Knock on wood, it starts 1st or 2nd pull.
Turn the fuel off and run dry when I'm done for the day.

I cut and load in the truck, drive it back to where I stack it. Will split from the truck, and stack for drying. I like the way you think Brent.

I put this hacked together table on mine. It really makes it nice.
Just some heavy L brackets and boards.
Keeps everything from falling on the ground and saves a lot of bending over.

Hand splitting wood is nice and good workout but, if your job is already physically demanding, screw that. Imo wasted wear and tear on the body could be spent doing more productive stuff

Sounds like weve come back to the 1980s, but with computer nerds making cheap *s-wordboxes instead of slide rule nerds...
Viscious cycle of aggravation.
Maybe we are on the verge of the second round of 1990s vehicle design?
Please.

There was undoubtedly a lull in vehicle quality/design around the mid 2000s. It affected the entire industry but it was particularly bad amongst American manufacturers. Looking back it makes sense, they were all going bankrupt. They had been banking on high profit truck and big vehicle sales, and when gas prices when sky high and people were strapped for cash, no one wanted SUVs or trucks and they were forced to hastily come up with some more fuel efficient vehicles on a zero dollar budget while simultaneously hemorrhaging money. And the result was vehicles like the Chevy Cobalt, Pontiac G6, Dodge Journey, Ford Fusion, Chrysler 200, etc...

Garbage.

Good morning all. I too bought a tractor supply splitter about 6 yrs ago when I went to wood as my only heat source. 25t splitter was $900 then. They're $1500 now and I'd still pay that because it's nice to split a fug ton of wood in a day and still feel human at the end of that day.

Mine is a Huskee brand. Briggs on it.
