Split some branched Elm and get back to us.. that darn wood is just as easy to split sideways as it is lengthwise! I seen some of that wood break a 25ton splitter because of the nature of how it splits forcing the wedge sideways and twisting it

hello there, thanks but we do not get any elm up here we just have spruce, pine and popular trees. I don't split unseasonal wood meaning wet wood, not dried. Can't burn why try. Contractors use wet wood to fill the rest of the order so the person doesn't get all the dry wood in one order and the customer gets stuck with all that unseasonal wood all years without burning it until it dries out more. Plus wet unseasonal wood is harder on the cylinder pushing rod, we only get about 24inch round trees up here not much bigger. So the best I can do is wait for that 24 inch tree to clear from all the snow and put it on the splitter upright and 18inches long, what fits the woodstove. That won't before awhile though. thanks for the comment

Definitely not a good day at the office with the Champion. Every split fought you!

hello there, it may seem like that but in fact the cylinder in still trying to get the right pressure built up in the cylinder for the right pressure, remember the champion is brand new and never been run before this time here. SO everything needs to build up the right pressure. Honestly I don't see it struggling at all because I am the one running the cylinder arm to move it in or out. I can stop the arm and retract it at any point. Thanks for your comment.
