My stand is 8 concert blocks, 2 high, 4 for the rear wheels, and 4 for the front legs. This made it very very sturdy and at a nice confrontable height. All it cost was? 16 dollars in 8 concert blocks. I'am for ever needing T post and concert blocks! I also use them as a firewood stand. Start out with 3 blocks, lay 2 T post on it to stay firewood on. to extend it out lay down 2 more blocks and 2 more T post. There ya go. This is the way i store T post and blocks>>> by putting them to use> My firewood stands, has NEVER TIP OVER, at 4 1/2 foot high> This cuts down on plastic sheets and traps. Buying them all the time IS? Fiberglass Corrugated Panels. They last for ever and can use for other things. i just put a 8' panel over it and use SS Bailing wire to wrap it up, with 3 wrap around the stack and panels. .. Plus the bailing wire is REUSED ALL THE TIME That it. Never worry about the sides of the stacks, Just the top ! You want air around your firewood, and a top to keep water off. Close it up with plastic sheets, and traps. Only makes a soaking moisture on the firewood. THAT NO GOOD. If blowing rain get on the sides its NP. buy being out in the open with air, dries out fast. It don't soak into the firewood > like with not top

Working good for me-just split some 16" lon, 14" diameter pieces of white oak. Wedge is short so sometimes you have to flip the piece over, but maybe it has to be short at that power. Works fine though, and NO fiddling with a gas engine!

I have an ADDUPX electric 7 ton log splitter. I made a platform and mounted the splitter horizontal on a saw horse. I put a rolling set of wheels on the back and a handle on the front of the saw horse. When I want to split wood, I grab the saw horse splitter by the handle, lift up on it and roll it to where ever I need to split wood. It works pretty dang good.

Nice! Something to look forward to. I'm not sure why, but I'm in the middle of a forest, we have so much wood from trimming branches, storm drops, trees knocked over in storms that take out power lines... and we have a gas fire place. Go figure. How exactly does that catalyst recycle smoke? Does it turn it into more heat?
@Colorado1derful2 жыл бұрын
I don't think so. The fire has to get up to 300 degrees or more, then you open the catalytic converter by moving a lever and the smoke goes thru the converter which burns it up so you have less pollution/no smoke. When the lever is closed, the smoke bypasses the converter and goes up the chimney. Burning the smoke might produce a negligible amount of more heat.

@Colorado1derful2 жыл бұрын
Sorry we no longer have it or I'd measure for you. When I worked our uneven ground, my experience was that I wanted it to raise higher than it does, when I wanted to re-position. If the hitch on the Arctic Cat had been higher, it would have been ok, so it also depends on the height of your hitch. You can see in the video, it raises about to the height of your hitch.
