a little bit in the gas tank keeps things running smooth, for both you and the splitter.
 
Call OSHA--these splitters clearly need to have cupholders.
 
If you've got a buzz going and a drink in 1 hand you will only be in danger of losing half your fingers. :zip:
 
OLd school here, all my beers taste better AFTER any power tool usage. Just a safety nut here. As you were. TY
 
Something wrong with that picture! Ohhh,no recliner.
 
"Here, hold my Beer,........watch this!!!!!!"
 
Beer on the splitter is like beer in the cup holder of the mower. It goes flat fast! Alchol abuse on 2 levels- personal foul- 15 yards.
 
Beer is good but save it until the splitting is done. No sense in making a fool of yourself.
 
Ja, well... the cup holder on my mower gets filled with grass clippings so I wouldn't want the extra fiber in my diet. Never thought about the vibrations making the beer go flat. Might have to make a special anti-vibration mount for the splitter like an old jock strap cup holder.
 
Well, it's not like it was real beer so no real loss :cheese:
 
Man, I love hearth threads. :)

City folk have no idea what they're missing... Aside from the few that are on here. Which... know what they're missing ;)

+1 on beer/liquor after the work is complete!

I too have the vibration issue with sodas on my tractor, makes 'em flat in no time.

Deere makes a pretty good stick-on cup holder, prices may vary but check with your local dealers, they're about $12 here. ;-)

I knew this one was coming sooner or later....what took ya so long :lol:
 
I with you on that one Dennis. I don't like mixing things that can harm me with alcohol.
 
I'd like to make it clear, that I do not support the idea of working any equipment while under the influence......I limit myself to just a few, never any amount that would impact my ability, nor judgement of operating equipment.......especially after my incident with the Chainsaw, Ladder and the Tree. Just an attempt of a little humor %-P
