We have a lot of knotted elm that is great for burning but very tough to split by hand. I usually just cut it up with the chainsaw into stove firebox sized chunks.

I have a grey Fergie tractor as a hydraulic power source. Which are best, tractor mounted or freestanding electric/hydraulic log splitters.

I generally cut up my wood and take it to the woodpile to split it. Woodpile is near an elecric power source.
