Lever action commanding 22 tons of strength
Wedge-shaped battering ram dominates some of the stubbornest of knots
Our locally,
annually rented Log Splitter :D It runs on gas and is easily transported behind a vehicle on a trailer hitch. It's one of our best friends of the season. We're a four-person team; Dad, Jenn and I take turns lifting the original log into place, operating the lever, and putting the split logs into the lean-to, while Mom operates the beverage dispenser and drive-through.
A little helper for especially shy logs.
Jenn taking a break.
Renewed strength
A pin releases this model so it can operate vertically for those REALLY heavy logs.
About those heavy logs...
It takes a lot to stand up to 22 tons.
'Extra help for the operator'
lol!
Transferring the split logs into our convenient lean-to.
Approximately half-full. We need over and beyond 15 cords of wood to last us through an average Canadian winter. Actually, we fire up the stove about mid-September for those chilly mornings and finish off around the middle of May, while our winter goes from November to April. A linear cord corresponds to 4ft x 4ft x 8ft of carefully stacked logs.
