    Definitely get a splitter with a log lift. Save your back when you get that massive tree service wood. A 90 cc saw would also help you out when it comes time to break down that big wood.

      I agree a log lift is now a must for me. My log lift moved to college 😂 As far as the saw I’m probably not gonna make that purchase because I’m simply not wanting tree service wood this big! I wanna have an excuse why not to bring me wood this big😂 Thanks for watching Mike👊🏻

      @@toddsoutsideagain Think your making right call on big tree service wood w/all the crotches. You would need a 084 or larger power head & at least 4' or 4.5' bar to break down the big stuff & you wind up w/lot of hard to stack odd ball firewood. W/your son in college you might go a little smaller & more efficient, your call

    Like your new wheelbarrow, always room for 1 or 2 wheelbarrows in firewood game. One of my hobbies is repairing them when I can find them for 15-20 bucks. I hope w/your son in college you downsize a little so you dont beat yourself up too much w/him in college. Doubt if he will want to do much firewoodin if he visits on breaks. Hope you mechanize as much as you can to save wear & tear on your body, your call. Have a good one

      Hello Dan. A second wheel barrow was a good choice😂 Yeah I will be slowing down a bit so it remains enjoyable. I’m not getting any younger and my everyday job already is strenuous enough.

    It's amazing watching you with your operation because it is so similar to mine. I have no tractors or lifting equipment and have no intention on adding them to my operation. I rely upon my splitters, saws, wheelbarrows, small utility trailer, garbage cans, pallets and pallet jack, canopy, tarps, an atv, and whatever I can get my hands on to get the work done. Amazing how much I use the single wedge for various reasons. Best wishes on your splitter search!

    The 4 way can be effectively used as a huge time saver even making bundle grade/ pretty splits especially on some of these "slow" cycle time higher tonnage machines. If you have the time check out some of the older outside with sheibe video's with his rugged made and how he made the 4 way work to his advantage. Helped me speed up tremendously.

    • @toddsoutsideagain

      Yeah, I agree. If you’re just pushing heating wood through and stacking it deep a multiple wedge is definitely the way to go. In my case single wedge or four-way is about the most I would do. 70 to 80% of what we sell is either sold in bundles or through the Firewood stand or to restaurant customer and I just like the better more uniform splits. That’s why they make so many different splitters. Everyone has a different operation. Thanks for watching 👊🏻
