I'm so happy

Just made a purchase off CL for a 35 ton, 12.5 HP log splitter. $1200
Brought it home and just finished a little over a cord for the next heating season! Whoop.
I have been splitting by using a maul / wedge / sledge for the past (many) years.
I think turning 60 entitles me to some new / used toys.:D

My wife wanted to get one because she didn't want me to have a heart attack or hurt myself splitting wood. I'm only a few years older.

I kind of like swinging an axe, maul or sledge.

Jim, what can I say? You're a better man than me! I am just to the point where the 20" - 26" ash doesn't have the same appeal it did. Although here in South Dakota when it's -20F it still splits fairly easy---until you get to branch wyes.

You're right.

I bought one for my over 70 Dad, last Summer.
He goes through 7-10 cords per year, fueling his hydronic boiler.

I still split by hand, but at only .75 - 3 cords per year - I can still manage.

I'm proud for your new purchase. I bought a new 22T Huskee last Oct, splitting wood now will put a smile on your face. The wife will have to make you come in the house for lunch because you don't want to stop splitting! I'm 60 as well.

[Bill Cunningham]

Ahhh be careful where you put your hands while working.. I have a friend who now has a thumb he could flip pancakes with

[Jim Laumann]

I bought one a couple years back 27T, 7hp +/-, my joints - elbows mainly - couldn't handle the split maul anymore. What a pain reducer.

Somedays, when I get in a grove, I'm almost sad to see that the pile (to be split) is gone. And there is nothing like it
for some of the twisted/knarly pieces which always see to show up.
