Wish I could find some old pics, my dad and uncles made a vertical splitter that went on our old backhoe that went in place of the rear bucket. It used the curl cylinder to make the wedge go up and down. We just sat in the back on a big log, had a long rod connected to the curl lever and that's it, very simple and easily moved around the pile, man that brings back memories. Great pics guys keep them coming.

Here is my splitter that was built by me. It's an old lickity splitter. ram, pump valve from northern tools. Winch and jib crane from harbour freight with remote control. I have to attach it to my truck when pulling a log 50 feet away or the splitter will move. I had to make outriggers on the bigger rounds( bigger then 3 feet) or I will flip it. I have about 12 cords split and stacked. Thats probably 2 years worth.

I got enough to last a year or two. We have a heat pump, and the logs in the fireplace run on gas. I only use this for campfires.

How much is a rick, is that the same as a cord? If so, you need to ship some this way, cords go for about $150 around here.

Mr.Lew,,nice splitter.Did you build it?
Alvy,a splitter on a backhoe boom??? Coool!!!
mmzullo, nice splitter!!!
Mr.Bill, in my area,a rick is simply a stack of wood 4' high and 8' long,(by whatever length the cutter cuts it. So, if wood is cut 16" long it would take 3 ricks to make a cord which is 4'x4'x8' (128 cubic feet).

Tim, great pictures. Your red & white cub looks awesome, nice mod's, you should be proud of it. Like the stack on your other one too. Great barn to store wood in, very old and rustic. Must be a great feeling to work in it throughout the winter.

I'll bite though.... Dog on Canuck's... I know.... What the heck is a "rick"?? That the same as a cord of wood?

It's not much, but all I use it for is social fireplace fires in my basement throughout the winter to keep me warm working on other hobbies. (not my primary mode of heating.) This was all split by hand with the maul.

Last winter in SE MI there was either 1) a shortage of propane or 2) the price was crazy ridiculously high.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
