The Gear room is where you beat your chest about stuff like this.Sweet looking splitter.

Nice splitter. What model is that? I have the TW-P1 myself and I LOVE it. They are very very well made machines.

 

[mayhem]

I'd say at least half of the members here have a splitter or rent one once or twice a year. The rest of us do it by hand either because we're cheap or we need the exercise.

Check out the gear room for splitter threads daily!

31 tons :coolgrin: dam

Mines a 22 ton homemade one. I have to make everything at least once to prove to myself that I can do it, but its not worth the time and effort. Could have bought one for just a little more money. It is well built however. It splits everything I have ever put in it. My other is a 10 lb maul although im looking for a heavier one.

 

[Henz]

yeah, its an older one. Only has a 8hp Briggs one it. THey dont make that size anymore

HOLLY CRAP!! 31 ton! That would smash any thing I needed split here!

I have the 33 ton Troy Built. Starts on one weak pull.

 

[ScottF]

33 ton . It seems like you wouldnt need one that strong. Can you crosscut with it also if you sharpen the wedge? I would think it would crush right through

 

[Henz]

you dont, and its probably like the HP rating. My 31 ton maybe just like the 22 or 25 ton today.who knows

"It seems like you wouldnt need one that strong. "

LOL- who said anything about "need"?

i have gotten the fuild so hot in my 27 ton, that you couldnt touch it. 33 ton sounds better

 

[ScottF]

is fuild another way of saying the hyraulic piston. Will it overheat if you try to split difficult wood. Sometimes mine stops and I have to reposition the wood. will this overheat and ruin it?

 

[johnnywarm]

I'm glad i never pissed one of you off :lol: not with what some of you are packing ;-)

 

[ScottF]

Is that a reference to a lot of power in the machines or a lack of intelligence

It seems like it starts to loose some power with the more wood it splits in a day.

i have about a cord that i cant get to with the splitter up to the wood i am trying to find the best hand held but i think they all take a lot of one man power

There was a time I had a thinner one to cut down cedar and hauled the cut up logs for a cedar fence out of the swamp on my shoulder(s). (or on two shoulders with a helper)
Can imagine doing whole cords of wood (from fell to splits) with just axes and wedges.
