My new Log splitter!

[digger]

I've not had time to build a splitter since the fire.
The wood stove doesn't have a problem handling the 16 to 23" logs, but my back does, LOL
So I thought, what the heck, I'm going to try something.
Take the logs out and stand them upright, Cut a slit across the top and go for it!!!!

And you end up with this!

 

[kmcconaughey]

Charlie, that's pretty cool. I might have to try that.

 

[mhomrighausen]

I love it!!!

 

[mgwin]

The next thing you'll know, he will have a 4-way splitter on the end of that tractor!

Way to go Charlie!

What kind of red neck weirdo uses a front end loader to split logs?????im just jealous I didn’t think of that first LOL,that’s awesome

 

[ekincaid]

Only thing that would have been cooler then that, explosives and lots of em

 

[digger]

I have been known to use tannerite when I run out of dynamite!

 

[glippert]

I can just imagine Charlie giggling like a school kid when the first one split! Ingenious!

I'll bet even Kentucky Ken would give it a thumbs up.

 

[digger]

I initially thought about putting the logs on boards and waiting till the temp got down close to zero for a while. But my brain, goofy as it is, thought, give it a shot! Glad I did! LOL

 

[fcurrier]

I've got to confess - my first thought was "you gotta be shittin' me"

 

[digger]

Took less than 2 hours to stack, cut and split those logs, LOL
I was kinda impressed with myself for once! LOL
.

 

[lhinds]

Great idea Charlie

 

[dschwandt]

Me thinks a backhoe would have sped up the process once you had everything standing up in an arc.
Of course a helper would speed things up also.
Nothing like red neck ingenuity for sure!!

 

[digger]

But the hoe doesn't have a cab, LOL

 

[stanner]

Red Green would be proud of ya Charlie!!!!!

 

[kmcconaughey]

Scott,

It does seem like something that Red Green would have proudly done. Too bad Charlie didn't use duct tape at some point in the process.

 

[ekincaid]

Kraig-red green would have used the loader from diggers tractor,about six or seven two x fours eights rolls of duct tape and a 1984 dodge club wagon,and watched Harold use an ax from in side the van LOL

 

[kide]

Digger - about the top edge of that loader bucket..

 

[digger]

It was like that when I got it, LOL

 

[dschwandt]

I think adventures with "Bill" would have fit in that episode somewhere as well.
I got the biggest kick outta that guy. I'll bet they had a riot making those clips !!
