$700 for a grapple load in MA. Thats a good price.. I mix my wood with split and round....What I found if you burn all round wood the fire can burn the middle section out and the wood becomes arched and the wood wont fall in the fire.. Far as what size to split..Well thats your call..Your the one handling the wood! Craig's list is a good way of getting free pine.. Yes a decent wood splitter will cost about that..Like anything else what you pay is what you get..I personally like the Timberwolf's and the American CLS wood splitters.. And yes there is a difference from the ones at Tractor Supply, Lowes, etc..

You know, since you are buying the wood, you might be able to get by with an electric log splitter. If you are splitting in the woods, forget it. An electric would mean one less engine to mess with. I don't mean one of those little Chinese ones. They won't hold up. Ramsplitter makes some hefty electric ones that may cost a bit less than a gas one. They have videos on U-Tube. The tonnage looks a bit less, but they seem to do the job.
