Stumps are wood too, right?
A little teamwork to clear the mess I made by dropping 6 firs that were on the North side of our house - right where I plan to put a woodshed.
Our little B5100 can get a lot done with just 12 HP:

The last stump was bigger than I thought the trailer's wood sides could take, so I decided to go at it with the other tractor's FEL & some improvised ballast:

I had wanted a Split-Fire log splitter for years, but kept putting off the purchase due to the high cost, and I didn't want to settle for a 3 point hitch version. I finally came across a good deal on the exact model I wanted earlier this spring.
Since then I hadn't used it much, but I've put a few cord through it and after getting used to it I can honestly say that I should have just paid the money years ago and purchased it new. I've been missing out all this time!

Nice. Is it really twice as productive and what were you using before the spitfire? Do you you need to split much that you can't easily lift onto the table or do you use your FEL to do that?

Is his a hydraulic splitter? I've found a 4 way to be more than twice as fast in the ideal sized wood. Otherwise it's not twice as fast, but definitely faster.

His Splitfire is both hydraulic and it has a 4-way edge on it. It splits when the cylinder is extending and splits when the cylinder is retracting. The cylinder itself is down below. Theoretically it would be twice as fast as a regular splitter with a 4 way edge but that is theory. There is no vertical position to these, just horizontal.

Stumps are indeed wood - hard to burn though :D

That is quite a stroke of work for that tractor in my book. Good work !!!
