This is the start of the day on Thursday. Can't let a sunny day go by shopping when I can have fun splitting.
Six or seven rounds like these fill my trailer in no time. There's still more like these in the stack but I'm cutting it down slowly. I can sit on my stump, turn on my bluetooth headset and enjoy some tunes while the neighbors point at the old man singing Beatles songs.

That is the second motor. I bought it used and the 8hp motor was damaged so I put a 5 1/2 B&S on it and it's done me good. The motor came off a water pump and was a perfect fit. I have about 7 cord split and stacked and about that much more to block up and split of just pine. Maybe 3 cord of hardwood to split yet to fill the wood shed.
When you have to resize all of your already split wood to fit the new stove....
I have a Northern Tool chinese clone engine on my SS now. Paid $89 for it a year ago. Changed the oil once and felt dirty doing that. Like to see an American manufacturer produce the same as I' prefer to keep my dollar here.
Sucks dont it. I had to do the sameWhen you have to resize all of your already split wood to fit the new stove....

Bummer.
Nice but I'll bet that its pricey . Wasnt all that hard to cut down 5 cords just sucked that I had to. My old stove took 24 inch new one max is 21
Working my way through some more spruce. All windfall again.
The included branches make splitting the heartwood harder than it needs to be. But it's a good workout.

What part of Ireland are you in?
North West.
Another pile I have going. It's comprised of 1 noble fir tree, two sitka spruce trees and a couple of ash limbs on top.
The right side is lobsided because of odd length pieces.
These are the bottom pieces of the spruce. Splitting these is a pain because they were growing right on the edge of the forest and have a lot of big included branches. I think I will have to put them through the splitter.

This beech should've been stacked days ago so today I got off my lazy arse and stacked four loads. With what is left in the woods, I'm thinking we'll get our two face cord if not more.
Before I started on the beech I checked the fluid levels on the 4540 and all were good. I used the tractor to move some chips that were used to level off an area that will hold two face cord of ash once I get it split.

Thanks @Plowboy83 , it's my wifes favorite firewood so it didn't take her long to check the new stack out. I usually take the wind damaged trees so the firewood isn't the best but she gave a thumbs up on the quality.

Added more today. Not sure how much on this pile but it's getting up there. Hammock conveniently located for breaks as needed
