Now that’s the life, IMHO. Constantly surrounded by wood and getting to use a chainsaw, splitter, etc. day in and day out. I’m jealous…any job openings???
(No disrespect is intended with this reply, I can only imagine the back breaking labor that is required to run the operation)
Best of luck!

Hansson,
I have seen your pictures on another thread and i am amazed, that has to be the neatest, most consistent (size wise) stack i have ever seen.
You must use a processor to get that consitent length?
Thanks,
Craig

I was cutting Doug fir this spring when I came across this maple. Some of the smaller pieces on top are Alder. Didn't really need this as my wood shed is stuffed with the fir but it looked so nice I couldn't pass it up. As I type this its still sitting in the driveway with a tarp over it, time for a bigger shed I guess.
I would love to have some form of a processor, but I can't justify the cost.
Hansson, it doesn't look like you do alot of firewood? If you don't mind me asking, do you sell firewood? How do you justify the cost of your processor?
Thanks,
Craig

Free wood is good!
Free oak and ash compliments of a local tree service. Already cut into rounds and about 25% split. Picture doesn't show, but the pile goes back some more.

bicmac,
not critizing your work, but how well does that wood dry when its piled that high? It seems like the stuff on the bottom might have a hard time when there is 25 ft. of wood on top of it

I'd love that processor. I could use it at home, but then take it up to my hunt camp and pull it in the logging road behind the ATVs... everything goes in 5 kms of bush road so it needs to be compact.

Its easy to have behind a car or a atv

Great pictures, sorry argument.
All HP represent exactly the same amount of power, no matter where they come from!
Pumps have different displacements per revolution, so they turn at different speeds for the same HP.
Choosing a pump requires matching the displacement, speed, and pressure needed to a cylinder to produce the force needed to split YOUR wood at the rate you want.
Yes, the little 2.5 HP engine will do 2.5 hp, probably at 10,000 rpm or sp.
Yes, with proper gearing it will mow light grass., like the briggs would do at 2500-3000 RPM.
If you wind up your splitter engine and drive the wedge into a log, you can generate more than the rated HP on the hydraulic side, for a few seconds. I do it all the time with my old Vermeer. Sometimes a bad log will take several hits like that before breaking and sometimes I have to give up and try a different spot. That's a 12HP Kohler. I'm thinking of getting a two stage pump to keep from having to mess around like that, but our season is short and we don't burn but 2-3 cords.
Now be nice and enjoy the great pictures. That's the most split wood I've ever seen in one place!

This is my piles these pix are from the last two days but I have been bringing in wood by the truck load at least twice a week at around 3K lbs per load on a 3/4 ton truck . The pile closest to the cam on was just one load the one in the background is about three or four weeks worth that was split by hand and with a splitter which I borrowed. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee271/black_doggy/DCFN0001.jpg
