Thank you for always welcoming us into your home and into your things.

Great video. Thanks for making this.

I grew up in a stone farmhouse built in 1836. We always cut wood in the winter months. We cut down live/green trees and dead trees. We burned it in a coal furnace. We started the fire with dry dead wood and once it was burning good, we threw in green wood. My dad always said the dead wood burned up to fast so that was his reasoning for burning the green we never cleaned the chimney, and we burned wood from 1960 to 2000. Never had a chimney fire. His reasoning for cutting in the winter was as he always said the sap is down. Don't know if that was true but we made it through all of those years with no issues. By the way we cut Ash, Wild Cherry. Elm, and Locust. split it with a double blade ax and a sledge and wedges. No log splitter in those days.

Green Firewood always splits easier.

I like your shirt great channel!

Love you too.

If you think Sweetgum is bad ....try some ELM.DRY or wet ELM is worse than SG!!!!

Try splitting American Elm. Green or seasoned, its miserable to split by hand

I like your safety shoes 😂

Try the Echo Bear Cat wood splitter

Do you notice little bubbles in the clear line that is input to the hydraulic pump? I have the same mode. I'm running mine on level ground and when I start it up, the fluid turns from looking like oil to a little bit opaque from tiny bubbles. Called the service center and they wanted to make sure I was running it level which I am but I get bubbles anyway.

I filled it up more

No they have a 32 ton model. I think locust would give that gum a run for it's money and we didn't have a goddamn splitter and we did not let it sit for a friggen year we got a sledge and wedge to split it, .and we burned cords every winter. My dad never pussyed out he got the wood split. Young guys today could not hold a candle to him. Oh yes he dug graves for three cemetery's by hand with a shovel digging bar and a pick. He would be 111 today.

I never had a woodsplitter as a kid - it was ALL wedge and maul from harbor freight. I use to split nearly 10 cords a year by hand only

That is some fibrous wood.
