NuBeginnings Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 So the new tractor arrived a while back from Ireland safe and sound no scam thankfully ! Purchased the log splitter in France cuts through logs like butter only trouble is humping the dam things in to position takes its toll on the back I had to crawl out of bed this morning. I am now in to day 2 of log splitting the picture below is one days work, I estimate that I have another 5 full days splitting to go ;-(At least the sun is out and I can think of worse things to do.[IMG]http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k562/NBeginningsFrance/Log%20splitter/IMG_3154.jpg[/IMG]These are the small ones.[IMG]http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k562/NBeginningsFrance/Log%20splitter/IMG_3160.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nectarine Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 nice job! What kind of splitter do you have ... I see it's a vertical one. What make is it ... our horizontal one went kaput after a few years so we're looking out for another.Hope the back is better soon ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pommier Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Moving the logs sounds like an ideal exercise for your overweight clients! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuBeginnings Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Not all of our clients are over weight many do come to get fit ! But we do use some of the split wood for out door circuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 hi,after having 9 diseased chestnut trees cut down I am faced with splitting!The coin and heavy hammer my wife usually uses [:D]is not suitable for this huge quantity and I think an electric/hydraulic machine is necessary.Looking on purchase in uk as cheaper and larger wattage for same money ,I found several bad reorts about 7ton Powerhouse model and a reasonable report on gardenlines Handy 6 ton splitter ,2200watt,at £198.any comments asap thanks.
