YES, I paid $650.00 for it.. It's all oak and like most of it I could handle
but just a few of the logs are so big even when I cut a 16 to 18 inch piece off
the log I can't get it up on to the splitter...

Rob , if I may. might ai ask what you paid for that load of wood. .
when I last bought a loat like that in 85 it was $350 green or $450
seasoned but never all oak. that stuff is a sona of a gun to split by
hand, in my opinion. Lee

> If your oak logs are 24 inches around, my math tells me that the logs are
less than eight inches in diameter, and I would think that a section of such a
log can be handled without difficulty. If the measurement is across the end of
the log, then a stick of oak which has a 24 inch diameter and is a foot and a
half long can be a load. I would suggest rolling the stick in to position on
your log splitter and hitting the button. Making a ramp, if necessary, would be
easier than splitting by hand, unless you are pretty good with a mall

on straight grained oak, a very satisfying sound accompanies the splitting of
the block with one strong strike.

> HI, What I'm wondering is can a guy cut a log the long way with a chainsaws
with out hurting the saw or himself?? Why I'm asking this is I have a lot of
oak logs that are about 24 inches around and up from there... So when I cut a
16 to 18 inch off the log I can't move it myself to put in the wood splitter...
So I was thinking that if I cut down the long way on the log then cut the 16 to
18 inch piece it would be in two pieces then maybe I could move it...
