    I have an old Didier that I've split a lot of wood with. Haven't decided what to do with it. Have had others as well that were free or of little cost that I fixed up and re sold. I upgraded to a conveyor and commercial splitter which has opened some doors and is fun at the same time.

    Only thing I would do is raise it up higher. Let everything else alone. what is the hurry when splitting wood anyway? I find splitting wood therapeutic. So the longer it takes me, the better I feel. I'd just find or modify some larger wheels for it to make it higher and weld on some leg supports for the other end to make it level with the new tire height.

    If you split a lot of firewood & money is no problem, I would look at a Split-Fire 2265 with the Honda engine upgrade & lift table attachment. If I replaced my traditional log splitter, I would go with a two-way log splitter. Harbor Frieght sells a cheap two-way log splitter, too.

    Necessity is the mother of invention. I would raise that beam, add a log lift, and give it a bigger hydraulic tank. Since you have a running, working gas-powered splitter, I would just modify that and not worry about buying a new one unless you just have too much money and need to buy one.

    An oldie, but a goodie! I agree with you on back strain and stiffness. Raising the height and adding a shelf to catch the splits and rest the log when you lift it is a work saver. I load the logs to be split into my side by side and the slide them onto the shelf to split. I also have my tractor bucket pulled up to the opposite side and stack the splits into the bucket. I bought a Super Split inertia splitter a couple years ago and love using it. Very fast splitting most logs. I occaisionally have to pull out the old hydraulic splitter for really knarly logs, but it's rare. Have fun, fallwill be here before we know it.

    I've spent a lot of hours and calories on raking/dragging the filamentateous algae out of my ponds. Although I still do it from time to time, my number one approach is to stay ahead of it with blue dye, and I've had the best luck with Aquashade. It's not a great solution if you have a lot of water exchange, and it takes longer than Cutrine, but if you stay ahead of things it's a great solution. Really glad to hear your comment about limited treatment with Cutrine, I've witnessed two very severe fish kills with over application of Cutrine and also copper sulfate granules. Be careful!

    I have done that over a thousand times. You should beat the points of the tongs into the log. Also, if going uphill you are liable to flip the tractor. Put a chain out long enough to get to tractor to the top of the hill, then a piece of old tin over the butt end of the log to keep it from digging in. That way you are pulling with the tractor level. Good luck

  • @bbfarmsmaple8011
    @bbfarmsmaple801125 күн бұрын

    Thanks! I haven't found it necessary to drive the points into the log thus far, and by not doing so I think it helps the tongs disengage easier when I drop the log at the end of the skid. You're right about the possibility of flipping the tractor, it's best to pay attention when dragging. Thanks for the comment!

    Hi, thanks for subscribing. The Cutrine Plus works very well on floating algae, but I should emphasize that algae issues are caused by excessive nutrients in your pond.... meaning that unless the source of the high nutrient load can be reduced, the algae control will most likely be temporary! Sorry, I'm sure that's not what you were hoping to hear. Basically, algae isn't the problem, it's a symptom of the problem... excessively nutrient rich water is the problem. Good for growing fish, but also good for growing unwanted vegetation and algae. So yeah, Cutrine will knock the algae back, but it will most likely be temporary. Thanks for the question, hope this helps!
