I guess I don't post here much but I would like some input if anyone has any.
I usually split wood with an axe, tough or large logs I cut short with a chainsaw and that makes them much easier to split. I usually get a couple cords through the summer from here and there but I happened to come across about 7 8' bed pickup truck loads full of wood and that is a LOT to split by hand and the sooner I get it split the better chances are I can burn some of it by Feb.
I have been thinking of getting a log splitter for years but they can be expensive for a good one large enough for what I need (maybe 2' across logs the most). I do have a JD 950 tractor so I can use that for power. There are 2 kinds for a 3 point hitch...one that uses the hydraulics and one that attaches to the PTO. I am interested in the PTO type, seems easier to connect.
Any thoughts?
