I Think I Am In Love...New Style Logsplitter

[boatboy63]

Saw this the other day and would love to have one. The only problem is, they want around $10,000 for it. Guess I will have to build one.

Or you could buy a pair of Special Edition Super Splitters and have enough left over to bribe three friends to help!

posted last winter, but always enjoy watching the operation.
btw, just add it to my list of "things to buy" after i hit the jackpot!

8 min video of just the splitter running......


Box wedges have been around for awhile. They are very productive but allow little control over the size of the splits and where the split occurs. Plus the size of the rounds you split is limited to the width of the wedge. I'm sure some gnarly twisted hardwoods would create issues with binding as well.

Not sure I like it . . . I like a varietyof size splits and a variety of shapes (i.e. I like to make a few larger rectangular or square splits for overnight/overday fires, smaller splits for easier ignition, etc.) . . . plus it may be me, but it seems like the splitting "beam" is quite short and limits the length of the wood (although I could be wrong on this one.)

I couldn't split all day to that Music, I don't like it :zip:

I prefer to cut split and stack in a small enough quantity so I don't need more than the splitter I own....

If the rounds are knot-free enough to work with that splitter, I'll use a maul. Splitters need to be able to handle gnarly knots.

Did somebody say $10,000?

My wife made a similar comment when the video started

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Not impressed with that thing in the least.

 

[Adios Pantalones]

Crotchy wood will bind that up like an all-rice diet.

 

[lukem]

Seems slow for $10k.

 

[tfdchief]

For 10K it comes with the operator right?

 

[allhandsworking]

I bet i could out split that machine with my FISKARS. Just like "JOHN HENRY" "swing boy, swing that hammer"!

6 or 8 way wedges like what's on a firewood processor will out run that thing. One stroke and those rounds are done.
