[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3193787, member: 29706"] The coolest splitter I have seen in a video was one where you could whack a log off to length and it would drop into the split area and then take a log and split it into multiple sections in one go. It was similar to this but home made and lifted an entire 10 foot log that would be cut and drop in to the splitter.

Would have to run the ram all the way out and then flip it over to get it to split through. That stuff burned long and hot though. My mother's boyfriend wore a blister on his hand working the ram all day for two weeks while I lifted and tossed the logs though. Left 5 or 6 piles of would ten or twelve feet high and probably twice that across in the yard though. House was pretty much all wood heat at that point except for a little propane heater on a porch and one the size of a console tv inside on the main floor.
