Hey RMTREE, We also have the tw5 w all accessories and are very happy with it. We also have the 6 way and get a lot of use from it as we try to save prime wood in the approx size that is compatible w it. Really like your platform set up as we always get buried in refuse and have to boom the splitter out w the crane. We split into a 5x8 foot bin w one slanted side at the end and welded loops on all four corners. We heap split wood into the bin and hook 4 -12 foot chokers on with 2 of them having removable connections. We then boom the filled bin into a pile or a dump trailer or truck (l cord) or into a pile to store. We disconnect the two loops away from the slanted side before booming up and all the wood dumps out. I ve been leaning to buying a conveyer. How do you like it? Was it a good investment in your opinion? Is there any negatives? Cost maybe? Heard some people convert farm conveyers but I ve been unable to find one. Besides selling wood I heat my house with a furnace addon into the ducts with a humidifier. I am deeply in love with it. Your operation looks great.
