That will work... you probably don't even need the maul with those mits my friend.

Captain Zero!
Its about the best exercise i get.
Plus...on lodgepole and doug fir....its way faster than a hydraulic splitter.
Its all they can do to keep rounds on the block for me.

That's true, forgot you're not dealing with some knarly hardwood.

THAT is what I'm missing...someone to put the rounds on the block. Sheesh, what an oversight!

I am trying the stand em up in a tire method. I tried it the other day and did not have quite the right tire. My back has been on the fritz for 6 weeks, so any savings in up and down is welcome. First time I ever went to a chiropractor. Not that I should not have gone several times before. When I could not get my socks and underwear on convinced me time to go.

Chain and a bungee cord works well.

Accuracy!
Yes but the follow thru.
The outside of my tire is shredded so I presume same would happen to other encircling materials.
Btw, I'm always astounded by tire rubber and it's phenomenal resiliency, and resistance to maul strikes is yet another example

If I have solid ground to split on, I'll skip the block, and just set several rounds on end and swing like a windmill till they are all split, knocked over, or i get tired. I got a used old splitter a while back that was gone through by someone who should know their mechanicing. It already has 3 leaks; 2 oil, 1 gas.

Square peg, round world.
Under the right conditions, I can outsplit a TW-5 with a four way wedge using a maul. I had an Ochsenkopf maul, which is very well designed. If it's knotty, junk wood, then the TW-5 wins, but it still sucks to run.

Splitting decent ash, oak or cherry in the 10"-20" range, I can often get a few splits off before the chunk tips over. It takes forever to recycle the splits back through the Timberwolf. I'm also spoiled by my backhoe powered splitter.

My mauls are "sharp" in the loosest sense of the word, you can saw your way through a rope but not quickly.

That's how I do it with the upright Huskee splitter. I just tilt the round which both ends up sliding it over some and popping off the last unfinished split.

The Atom Splitter. Screwy maybe never really named it.
Future mini skid splitter attachment. I bought a clapped out splitter for a bengie. The cylinder needs a new clevis and the threads will need to be chased. And it came on an old ford axel.

Old is right...that axle is ancient.

The guy I bought it from says model A or T and believed to be an original wheel. I’m not so sure about all that but yeah it’s old and not too heavily rusted. All that good pre nuclear age steel. Lol
