Tractors and wood! Show your pics

[Sawyer Rob]

You are right, NOT having to lift the weight of the bucket and getting the load closer in, is a MUCH better/safer way to lift heavy loads...

That's why I never cared to own bucket forks, just too many negatives with them.

Agree. If I had light loads or seldom used forks it would be one thing. Geometry wise, lift capacity wise and safety wise, much better off with SSQA forks

Hey Buggs67,
Do they make a 4 way wedge you can adapt to your splitter i think ive seen northern tool or someone that sells kits that work on standard i beam the 4 way is awesome something that would be more than worth the cost. I have never even installed the 2 way on mine. Just a thought

I made my own cross wedge. It only has the power to 4-way 8-10". TSC sells a 4-way that would work.

Keep in mind, those "light duty" 4-ways are for soft wood only. I've heard of several complaints of guys bending them up pretty bad, trying to split hardwood, and/or tougher crotches...

Agree. I only do straight grain rounds up to 10"

Just tried a Swisher slip on 4-way about an hour ago on several large oak rounds and seemed to work pretty well.
