I haven’t split any spruce or pine with mine but I would think it would do well enough. Keep a saw or axe near by to cut the stubborn fibers. They do well on oak, maple, ash, walnut, locust, hickory, birch, elm is still a bitch.
Neighbor Charlie has a cone splitter to be mounted at some point in the future. I'm curious what one would do with our local wood.
On my to-do list is to make my normal H/V wood splitter adapted mini- use, mounted splitter downward. I have been occasionally looking for a splitter with a...
This has been a fairly mild winter here...I'm at a little less than 1 cord burned so far this season. And it's worth noting we are retired and thus are home most of the time. When working, our use was always lower just because we were away all day at least five out of seven days. Normal...
I didn't read it all.
I read an idea of what he thought he was going to do.
I ask again, what looked sensible?
That has FAFO all over it.
"I didn't want to start at the bottom." That's a desire, not a plan.
All my plans end with, "then, I turned the truck key to Off in my driveway"
Started a big job Monday. All was going well until about 12:45, as we were returning from dumping the first load. I was turning in (narrow driveway), and so I had to swing wide so the trailer wouldn’t take out the mailbox and a light pole. Just as I entered the driveway, another guy took out the...
I prefer 20" and less.
Cord go for $200-$250 delivered, here.
I never pay for disposal.
My neighbor brings his shorty dump and car trailer if needed, or I borrow his rig. He takes anything I don't want. He's got a burn pit for rotten wood and he's building an OWB for his shop that his...
$400 a cord for nice residential heating grade splits. Delivery included if close. Less for the desert grade wood but more for delivery depending on distance. Usually 30 mins away. I borrow a big dump trailer sometimes if I have multiple deliveries. Tele with bucket helps a lot. I can make a lot...
I appreciate your hashtags Cory.
I'm with you, B, to an extent. If I was going to look at it all the time, I'd want to make a design.
I can/ do work year round.
I don't have a covered processing area for it is too wet/ windy to work for a day or three. I always have a backlog of shop...
I agree with all of you. Double ended non stop splitter and conveyor belt or maybe equipment mounted might make it profitable.
If I was burning wood to heat my house I’d stack it too.
I sell a few cords a year usually half a cord at a time to campers. Full cord here and there to friends...
