isn't the operator's seat on that splitter facing the wrong way?
I think I would have a stiff neck after the first cord.   Like the vice-grip lights, little night splitting action in them woods candle_smiley

I'm just glad you are not hauling that thing down the road in Maine. My wife would be a hollering at me to pay attention to the road and not what is going by me as the right wheels are kicking up gravel.  ;D

Is your splitter self-propelled, or are you just using the Ariens to power the splitter hydraulics?

Heard a commotion on the back porch. Opened the door to find the neighbor teenager stacking split, dry firewood on the porch right by the door. Me.. Appreciate the wood, but I have a years supply in the barn across the road. Him..Yeah, but it ain't on the back porch, you won't have to go out in the cold to get this.
What could I say ? I grabbed an armload this morning and fired up the wood stove in the house, feels good, it's in low 30's, that's COLD for Louisiana...

Fired up the snowblower, cleared a path for the Bota-Bug and hot rod trailer, hauled up a load of oak to mix in with the walnut I've been burning....


 

The Veteren's Day snowstorm here made bringing up da wood a little more difficult...

Since I am now "gimp" legged for a while, Grandson Ben came over and wheelbarrowed a few loads of firewood up getting ready for next week's cold blast. 


 
The forecast is below 30° for Wednesday & Thursday.  Burrrr !!!  :o

Nice to see your getting some help, you take care of yourself and you will be posting in the What ya sawing thread.

I've carried a few armloads of wood in for grandma in my days. ;)

I'm still filling the wheel barrow from my outside piles to wheel into the basement each day. I throw a couple sticks of hard maple into the fire box, from inside the house, in with the aspen and fir from outside.

It's a pain in the back sides with this weather up and down .Then factor in the trailer load I have outside my garage was taken from a stack I didn't have tarped down .A little dampish .It's ash,I'll get into the shag bark and oak later when it gets cold if it gets cold .
It wouldn't be a problem if the frost were hard down on the pumpkin because I'd have fired it hard and built up a good bed of coals .This warm,again ,underwear  around the table, ainta  gonna go there . ;D

Our temps are getting into the 30°'s at night and 40°-50°'s daytime so she will need the Grandson to wheel some more wood up this weekend.  Burrrrr   :o

I'm envious of MM's firewood fetcher. My wood is stored in the barn 100 yds from the house. I have 3 grandsons and a wheelbarrow and grandma to encourage them...BUT
1.they all live 150 miles away
2. Two out of the 3 would have no idea how to drive a wheelbarrow.

Soo The power plant on my wheelbarrow is getting along in years (not to mention high mileage) I've had to acquire another tool..Yamaha rhino

Cut some wood for a friend today.  She has some fallen ash in an area that is full of springs. With the recent cold weather it is frozen enough to get to with ATV.  Her spliter didnt want to start in the cold so I  just piled it on  high ground in the woods until spring. Been several years since I could get in that area. Need no snow and several days around 0 for it to freeze enough to drive on with ATV.  Also snow would prevent me from getting to it because of the hill I need to go up on the way back.

My firewood stash needed replenishing and since my knee is somewhat better and there were no Grandsons available, I tackled the deed myself.



The ground is wet so I enlisted the help of the ZT and garden trailer.  Yup, got-r-done with no ill effects to the knee and I am now ready for the next blow of blizzard weather from the Glaciated North.  fire_smiley
