What type of splitter do you have? I may be in the market for one after this year.

Bought mine at Tractor Supply several years ago. It's a 35 ton, 12.5 HP, 26 inch stroke Huskee. Vertical or horizontal splitter. It paid for itself, imho, the first time I used it. Sure beats using that go-devil and wedge.

Edited: I just went back and looked at Tractor Supply website. They've gone up in price to 2K now for this splitter. And the frame on the new models looks a lot less sturdy that the frame on mine. They don't even put fenders over the wheels now! Mechanically, though, mine works great and I've not yet run into anything it wouldn't split. If I can get it on the platform, it'll split it. 70,000 pounds is a lot of pressure...
