Review of our new log splitter

Good Morning!  Our log splitter came in last week.  Its an 8-ton Hydrolic splitter.  We put it to the test.  I must say I am impressed at the pure simplicity and functionality of this product.  It simple to use and works great.  You can see what I got here:

Our DS is graduating and starting on his own home and DH and I cannot split enough wood the traditional way (atleast not comfortably-lol).  So we started looking at our options.  We always look for ways without using electricity first, without fuel second.  That leaves us with manual tool options.  I looked at several "manual" log splitters and we decided this was the best option.  It was a good choice.  It works well.  I know it is an odd time of the year to be thinking about splitting wood but I wanted to share this info with you in case any of you might be looking for options regarding next winters heating bill.  You won't be breaking any speed records with it but it does a good job.  Blessings>faithfarm

I won't even mention this to my DH...he has been 'ooggling' some log splitters and some sawmills lately!
Of course...while I sit here with 800+ cinder blocks and 2 full pallets of the good stuff durarock (drywall sheeting) and no house started, maybe I should move out of his way and start praising the sawmill idea :o)

Congratulations! (kind of funny the things a homesteader will get excited about, heh?)
