I will mostly be breaking up branches that fall on our 1/3 acre property. The last branch that fell was 4" in diameter. Will the 28" suffice for this?

The axe is best for cutting wood along the grain. It may work for breaking the branches lengthwise but hard. Saw will be better and they are cheaper.

Use a saw not an axe for that kinda work. You can easily just smash through a branch that size with an axe, but you are going to ruin your edge. Best to just get a pruning saw and saw those pieces down to size. If they are really twiggy branches, use a small hand axe to clear the twigs off.

This would be fine for splitting something 4", but I've never used it for chopping wood.

This would be more than enough, even a smaller one would work well. I use my small hatchet mostly for fallen branches. Although large branches can be difficult to split if your going against the grain of the branch, for this I would just recommend a small chainsaw. Just remember that hatchets and axes are meant for splitting wood with the grain. And a small hatchet is best for trimming off twigs and small branches. But the quality of these Fiskars are amazing.

Yes--It would but nothing over 21/2 inches--I have a 50 h p and it handles 6 inch with some effort. This application is for stumps--If your pulling whole trees 4 inch will be fine for you. Check your root system-Tap roots are harder and ground level are easier. The job goes easier and faster if you use two people.

We have a 33' round and it works good. Our only issue was a big leaf got stuck and stopped it from working properly. It tends to get stuck on the ladder but most bottom cleaners do. If u can't lift the ladder, just check on it occasionally.

Sorry, but I never used that attachment. But I would say it would hold a 1/2" branch. I bought it to pick fruit higher in a tree and converted my picker to attach to the Big-Reach and it worked.

The perimeter of the branch exceeds 36", so they won't go all the way around. I have screwed hooks into the tree, from which they hang. Seems to work fine,

I have cut branches that thick, but it was difficult--especially if you have to reach a long distance. Having said that, understand that I am 74 years old. The 9301 can do the job.

I had to look up images of the summer sweet before I could answer this question.From the pictures it appears that you should have no problems. I have used this saw to cut down over 2" thick branches.

The branches on my shrub are about 1/4 to 1/3 inch in diameter, which it cuts with no problem. It will certainly cut larger branches, but not with the same efficiency or ease.

The biggest I've split was about 20". You can really split any size, you just may have to rotate and resplit if it is a large log.

I have only used on @1-inch branches but it should cut larger pieces with the ratchet making it easier than you would expect.

I believe a 4" will do it. but if you have steady hands you can save yourself some coin if you tape it off well and cut it with a sawzall, jigsaw, etc.

If you are splitting wood that's already been quartered from rounds I think the shorter version might be the better choice. On the other hand my sister in law is 5'4 and she uses my brothers 36" splitter quite regularly with no complaints...

The width where the branch enters between the moving blades measures at 3/4", but it reduces down to 1/2" as the moving blade meets the fixed blade. In other words, cutting a 3/4" branch will take a bit of coaxing.

If the diameter of the tree trunk was around the size of a 4X4 should work ok. Otherwise you will need something on top of that stump to attach it to.

I have not tried cutting anything that thick yet, but I think they may be able to handle it. I am sure it can handle 1 inch thick branches.

You might get a 3/4" branch between the "teeth," but I wouldn't trust it to actually cut more than 1/2".

I have cut 3/4 inch red oak with mine.... Try different speeds to see what works best for you....
