I agree - I have enough other tools taking up space. "The struggle you're in today, is developing the strength you need for tomorrow."

It went with the tractor I sold last year and I bought a like new Countyline 25 ton for $1k. It doesn’t tie the tractor up and it cycles faster than the 3pt one.

My dad used the cheapest log splitter he could find. Turned out to be a 13 yr old son swinging a 13lb maul.

That this will split anything. Knots don't slow it down. It will even split elma and other stuff that most folks wont fool with. �Because a well regulated Militia is necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.� -Justice Scalia, June 26, 2008 NRA Life Member
