Is that mulberry in pic #2? That's a nice size round. That splitter is no joke brother! How many ton you figure it is? Nice stacks as well
HI, thanks for comment, yep thats mulberry, since late summer I been getting alot free wood around from craigs list, I have always had good luck with the splitter I rent it out also in maine for 3 years and here this fall first time and can say nobody ever complained about it, ton wise not sure think around 28 from what I came up with, its not just the tons its how the wedge is built helps a lot, some pieces that don't split it will just cut them in half, I towed it all way here too just bounced some at times,lol. I use it in maine to move rocks and pull stumps too,and made a 12 foot extenion to lift a 400lb boiler and water tank I made to get into my front door, here couple photos of it, before I put fenders on it and new motor, Thanks

That is awesome. Good work. I am not nearly as mechanically inclined.
 
Hi, I need help finding out for sure what type tree this is. A guy told me it was white ash but in some ways it looks like basswood? it splits stringy and the other ash trees around here are all dead,[michigan] the wood is white and the trees are all growing good? When I first went to see them to cut I thought it was a maple from a ways away it had those long seeds on it, I went back and got some leaves of branchs and they were opposite from each other so thought was ash? But the bark is very rough as you can see in photo,
Any ideas would help I have alot of it and want to sell some next year, THANKS
Another vote for hackberry.
