Looks like it's time to transition from clearing land to being a wood splitter!

That's when a grapple is nice, if you happen to have one.

Nice place!

When I come to a block that is on the verge of being too big to transfer from the raised bucket to the splitter beam I break it down. Brings back memories of when all I had was a hammer and maul for a very long time. Like many here I am sure.

These days I'll do about anything to avoid splitting by hand. I do keep a few wedges around, but they tend to get used as wheel chocks more than on firewood. Good on those of you who still do it.

It's been a long time since I've had anything that big... most of my firewood right now comes from old harvest jobs and those big ones stay right on the landing. I still enjoy splitting with my 8 lb maul; first using my hydraulic splitter to get it to manag

Not really. House to the north, neighbor's property and shed to the south, yet bigger trees to the west and saltwater to the east. It was a windy day anyway and I would not have trusted jacking the trees.

We’ve jacked stuff in some pretty good winds before, with a set of jacks like I have you can see exactly what that tree is doing. If the pressure on the gauge rises you know you’re in for a treat that tree is setting back. Without being there to look at the lays available it’s hard to say if that’s what I would of done. I’ve jacked 5’ cedars hanging back over a main county road as well as done fir like what you have pictured with jacks without issues before, but you have to foresee the lay.
