Wood splitting

[digger]

What trees/wood is common for heating in the "Land of 1,000 Lakes" ??

I cut 113's in half and split'um with the 250A.

How is the wood forced onto it?

You just touch the log to the point and it takes off by itself.

That's 10,000 lakes.

I believe it. I flew into Minneapolis St Paul on a clear day once years ago, and I never saw so many "ponds" in one place in my life before. From the looks of the pictures, your red oak seems straighter grained and easier splitting than our white oak
.

my uncle used to split wood with a similar “bit” mounted to the 5-lug wheel hub of his jeep.

I watched a video review of those splitters and they were a complete failure no matter how the guy tried to get it to work.
