I been a fencer all my life so naturally got strong back weak mind.
To be fair if you got amassive ring on the splitter once its in I half it's two big halves.
It's really quick to rip them with good clearing saws and a bit of super chipper chain.
Pretty much the same result time wise.
In saying that if the knife going in and out your making money.
Takes a bit of time lifting and positioning those big fucking rings.
Some times my 56 inch bar on gum isn't long enough so I have to do a heap of ripping anyway.

Yep. Just whip off the two retaining straps on top of the pod, remove the plastic inner and Voila! a light, strong, ventilated pod that holds a fortnight's worth of firewood.

The Pierce splitter is cheaper than the Levin Sawmakers and I’d say the same cost as the Daytech splitter.

The one for twelve and a half grand.

My Splitfire was only 3.5 grand a few years ago. I see they are now 5.5K. Then again I already have the 110hp tractor to run it off.

Just have to put it together
