Only took one “free” sycamore tree myself. Never again! It was nice seeing you at Brad’s fellowship. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Dang, that is some nasty wood to split. Up here in Alberta the weather had been funky too. Fortunately the ground is still frozen so no mess in the yard although most of the snow had melted.

@jamessanders4310 5 ай бұрын

We need a road trip. Gather up some more oak and red oak. Split now it'll be ready for next year sales. I don't know why but those are my favorite videos!

The weather in NE Wyoming has been crazy too, temps in the 60’s and the sun is shining. Last year at this time it was in the -30’s with snow storm after snow storm so we are enjoying it while we got it because winter is not close to being over. Looks like everyone had a good time at the Fellowship despite the rain and the mud. Take care.

In your last video I said I had beech. But after watching you split this I realized I have the same type your splitting. Your lucky. I had to do mine with a 27 ton craftsman splitter. Needless to say it was a good time! 😂

That Sycamore makes me glad I live in Western Md. No doubt my lowly Husky 22ton would have a heart attack. Speaking of ........ I've been waiting on the weather so I can get out back and replace the Control Valve Assembly and get back to splitting the remaining 7-8 cords of Black walnut. @ 70yrs., I'm no longer in a rush.....

@aldredske6197 5 ай бұрын

Hi Scheib!!😀😀 That's some of the worst I have ever seen for splitting. Reminds me of black gum. I think I would just take the saw and noodle it into nice firewood pieces instead of trying to split it. Take care buddy!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al

It's like a Sycamore tree spirals as it grows. Has tons on moisture as well. Once it is seasoned, it lights easy and burns hot. Great for getting the fire started. Not good for long burns. Impressive tree, but I have a love hate relationship with them. Tons of them grow here in SE Indiana. Great video.

Good use of the little winch. I have a boom for the back of a 1-ton flat bed that I have loaded some pretty heavy logs with that I plan to use for changing wedges when I get my 22-28.. And wow, that sycamore is nasty.

Sycamore is a good fire wood dries fast burns good a little ashy. Splitting with an axe is way easier then splitter. You work it out side in. It flakes off not as stringy.
