Splitting Logs

 Spent the day helping some friends turn some of their wood reserves

into firewood, with the help of a hired log-splitter.

Once split, they were thrown into the ute, then taken to the woodshed. There the tipping tray of the ute made made unloading a lot easier!

Five ute loads, or about 2.5 cubic metres of split firewood, ready to be stacked up under cover for future use. I was exhausted by the end of the day, but imagine how much more exhausting it would be to chop the wood with an axe, and move it by wheelbarrow!

That's a lot of wood! You are right it would take a lot of energy to chop and move without the equipment used now.

"thrown into the ute" you make it sound so easy. No wonder you were exhausted.
Good job, well done!

Who knew you needed a tipping tray on the ute?

The log splitter certainly would have made life easier than an axe.
