Tractors and wood! Show your pics

[Jim Timber]

Stand alone can allow someone to work the splitter while someone else feeds them wood or uses the loader to remove the splits.

You can also loan it to a buddy and not lose your tractor.

Yes it's a timberwolf tw5 , I like the stand alone because I can tow it to the woods with my polaris ranger wich is a lot loghter than my tractor and a lot easier on my woods trails.

I have a stand alone because we didn't have a tractor when we built the splitter. I wouldn't put it on the tractor now that we have one. I use the tractor for moving wood. Right now I have a guy busting wood for me. I have to use the tractor to keep him a supply of wood to bust. If I want to move the splitter I back up and hook it up VS hooking up the gooseneck chaining down the tractor,and getting 8 mpg while moving it.

Ah... The things you don't think about 'till you've been there! That's what makes the forum such a great resource. Especially for us newbies in the crowd.
Thanks to all who post here.

Nice pic! How you like your ranger?

It's a rock solid splitter, not cheap but great value. A distinction those who are on their 3rd crappy splitter in as many decades and biartching about there being no manufacturing jobs left, while you or your kids are still splitting with the TW5, may begin to appreciate ;-)

I'm having to make a splitter decision shortly and can't decide whether to buy a commercially made big brute (I have my eye on one made in Europe because there is nothing like it commercially available here) or find someone here to build a design that's been in my head for too long now. This design has never been done before that I can see and as such is a risk because perhaps people have tried and it failed, but if it comes off it will be one special, cheap (for the volumes it can produce), high output, safe single-operator splitter with very low running costs.

A few pics of the wood we worked up a few weeks ago. That stack is over 12' high and 24' wide, and 8 to 12'deep. Will be almost enough for next season.

Do you carry every piece up that ladder to stack it?
