Log Lift Need
My son in New York State burns 10 cords of firewood annually.
He splits each round using a tractor-mounted hydraulic splitter.
Most of the wood comes from tree services that willingly drop it at his house rather than pay to have the logs landfilled.
The log lift idea was mine. I was tired of lifting heavy rounds to the splitter.

Handle up to 3 rounds simultaneously.
