You didn't say Molalla1. You said "You show your splitter with bigger logs". Didn't know I wasn't invited!
And I split sideways so I can just roll the logs over, no need to lift that way!!!!

Wish I could SR . . . major back surgery coming up on 6/11 and I do not have any pics of last years rounds, sorry but some were over or about 4 footers. I was not demeaning anything that you post, in fact I really like all of your contributions here. :thumbsup: and the wife is the picture taker around here. I'm not that qualified. :confused3:

^^^^^ those are big rounds?
Ok, we get it, you have bigger stuff in the PNW.
In other parts of the country, yes, those are big rounds - especially for firewood. For me, if it's much bigger than that, it's just not worth the hassle to turn it into firewood, even with the hydraulic log lift on my splitter.
Ideal size for me is a round that I can run once through my 4-way wedge and end up with 4 perfect-sized firewood pieces. I'll take anything from about 4" to 24" diameter that is a good hardwood firewood species (I'll admit, I'm a firewood snob). Smaller than that gets left to rot and return nutrients to the forest soils. Large gets pushed out of the way and left in the forest, unless I can come up with some other use for it. (Sawlogs or better get used appropriately - often bartered to someone with a sawmill.)

Did you not see who I quoted??
And rounds that are so heavy that they squash your splitter over on it's side don't count! lol
