I have a 3 pt horizontal that if I can't lift a piece,I lower it to the ground,and roll the piece on and raise it back up to above waist high.Staying bent over is for the birds!And I don't see how you could be efficient sitting either;in fact it seems to me you can make more wood faster if your pieces are under 18". My stove needs small pieces so I split a lot anyway.When I split I want the ram moving all the time,splitting or return stroke-the engine is running-and I have baskets/cradles that catch the wood that needs re-split so I don't have to bend over again til the piece is completely split.If I have a helper,every piece gets tossed onto the wagon,and hauled in the barn for stacking.I may leave the last load on the wagon,if I don't need it,and burn it straight from the wagon. Those automatic machines would never work on my wood-I always have forks,knots,and other irregularities to contend with.Mark

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
