i'd like to see it in operation, too!
been prepping one of my woodpile areas for more farwood. thot I would put these big chunks down, stack... cut as needed. or wanted. now have decided good place to put a lot of farplace sized farwood. so changes are planned. efficiency and utility! 
I made a little video because i couldn't fit it all on picture
So yeah been busy splitting the wood that i cut this winter, majority of the wood stove logs have been done, just a little more.
Once i'v done with the bucked logs that are outside i will stack the split logs. Not sure if i'm going to split the wood under the roof (cooking stove) logs but i most likely will.
What else... uhm it's all spruce and i use a small cheapo 7 ton log splitter. I have done a few little modifications to it , which are crucial imo

How does everybody keep the ants from invading your piles? I currently have 4 large pallets full of wood to start seasoning. Don't want the ants to destroy it. Any suggestions?

Trying to keep insects away from my wood is like trying to hold back the tide... I just accept the fact that it's outdoors and there is little that I can do about it.

Ya, I know it's outside and all, but I know ants can wreak havoc on wood and do some damage if they get too bad. Just don't want my stockpile ruined!

Have the wood stacked off of the ground. Ants like wet wood. Once the wood dries out, ants should not be a problem.
Get some chickens. LOL. Chickens love eating insects.

We've actually been contemplating getting some just for the fact that the wifey loves fresh eggs. And I know they eat about everything under the sun. So we may have some in the near future.

Got some locust to split.

Your just down the road from me. Doubt you will see any significant ant damage. Best if you stack on pallets or anything that keeps the lower row off the ground. Works for me.
I still find uses for mine, not sure what I'd get done if I didn't have it
.My neighbor was going to load a large rental rototiller into his truck by hand I said why you have a tractor I'm not lifting it if I don't have to, he said yeah your right, he just got his little B series Kubota this summer.
Nice you're getting to drop your firewood almost on the pile too
.I had about 5 pallets behind that big rock that got smashed. lol I was not going to tell. ooops
Whoops, at least pallets are cheap lol.
Could have been worse, I had a hinge break on a spar that was rigged, then it swung 90 degrees from the intended fall.
Sure wish that was all that happened
.The irony of it all is I was going to leave my truck closer to the intended fall, but moved it "out of the zone"
