2 things are for certain, no matter how you do it, with whatever splitter you have, is getting it up to comfortable work height and having a log catcher, cradle, table, whatever works to avoid working off the ground. I do not like just a beam, especially on a low rider splitter, granted you then have to get the blocks up onto the beam once it's at a good working height, so it is a toss up. we had a table for the Didier, lift up with 3 pt boom pole, then shield the exhaust away. Blocks were not too big, but it was better than being on the ground when there's lots of cords to be split.
I brought 3 loads of 6" average diameter elm up to the house, cut it up off the ground, well there's a 6 x 6 runner under it, to help the forks slide out easy. Back gets fatigued, I have an old gasoline engine powered table saw, need to put the engine in it. Once done, I will work from forks at height, to the table saw, to the cart with the small wood and that is extremely abundant, have not used it for this in 42 years or so, but like a buzz saw, it works pretty quickly. I used to work with my father using it, he would buzz off so much that he'd finish the cutting, I'd still be out there stacking an hour later LOL !

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
