How to increase splitting speed & efficiency?

Why are you splitting so small? That whole stack would be kindling sized for our stove. I would think the BK would handle much thicker splits. We typically are burning splits 2 to 3 times thicker.
How does the super split handle knotty pieces, i had a piece yesterday that the 22ton was not happy about and was thinking the inertia splitters probably would have laughed at it.Increase speed and efficiency?!
Get a saw big enough that noodling is fun. Noodle rounds that are too big to pick up. Then trade in the slow splitter for a Super Split.
Splitting is the most fun part of the process for me - only complaint is that I get it done so darn quick!
I found myself splitting smaller over the last year. Easier to handle, dry quicker, the wife is more apt to load the stove tooThat's just they way we do... Dries far and easy for the wife to handle.. With the old e/w drive she was burning herself loading big pieces
I am gonna make a chain just for this..........supposedly if you grind the teeth somewhere between 0 and 5 degrees (as opposed to the normal 30) you get thisNoodle rounds that are too big to pick up
My backyard has a slight slope that I take full advantage of. Logs get delivered on the high side and the stacks are on the low side. It is real nice having a 24" round roll clear across the yard from a firm push with the boot and a few taps as it rolls to keep it on course.If you have a slope, someone on here (BBart?) showed a pic that got me going. Line the rounds up uphill and let them come to you. Any woods tree i cut on my hillside, or pickup load of big stuff, gets done this way now if possible. her's a pic from a few oaks I did this way
If it can't separate the grain, it can shear through it. The trick is to recognize when it isn't going to power through, tap the handle to disengage the rack for a couple seconds, let the KE build up in the flywheels, and then engage the rack again.How does the super split handle knotty pieces, i had a piece yesterday that the 22ton was not happy about and was thinking the inertia splitters probably would have laughed at it.
That's far too broad of a statement. It depends on the splitter.Splitters are slow. You can streamline your process to make it slightly quicker. The reason to use a splitter is not for speed. it is to split wood with minimal physical effort.
