Had trouble registering. I guess two years of college wasn't enough. Seriously though, there was a guy on there wondering how to split more efficiently with a TW-5. I would have liked to share with him because there are a few tricks to make big rounds easier. One thing I did was have my four-way welded so it was more of a wing, or shelf, so the top two pieces do not topple over onto the extension grate. You simply slide them forward onto the beam or horizontal log lift. That really helped a lot, reducing walking and bending over to retrieve large splits from the extension grate. A pulp hook helps too. Split with the four-way in the lowest position. After the split raise the four-way, untrapping the lower splits, so they too can be pulled back to the beam or lift and resplit if needed, otherwise they have to be pushed through with another split and it is again more steps to retrieve them for resplitting. I have been using a SuperSplit, so switching to big wood this past winter was a bit of a change, and I did not like the TW-6 at first. I only use the TW for rounds too big to lift. To quarter with the TW and result with the SS was inefficient. Might as well noodle. So it pushed me to find a more efficient way to resplit with the TW-6.
