    Hi I know this is 3 years old but I am just seeing it! Looks nice-much faster than my hyd splitter! Since it requires 2 hands to operate(for satety) I was wondering if it had a slight cradle added to hold the chunk of wood kind of, if that would keep it in a position to split without rolling to the side? Maybe that can't be done. Good video and looks like it will split a lot of wood!

    Great vide Evan. I am trying to decide between the Super Split HD and one of these. How has the machine been working for you since you bought it one year ago? Also about how many face cords have you split and has anything failed on the machine?

    • @evanjosey4745
      @evanjosey4745 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would say I have split 75 face cord with it. Replaced belts and a spring is all. The one big draw back it the wheel assembly... there is no bearing and is almost useless to pull around even the yard. I'm going to upgrade and put some in that have a bearing. Wheels get hot and lock up.

    It's fast, but the number of times you have to run a piece through for multiple splits can't be faster than a hydraulic with 4-8 way wedge... Is there an upside I'm missing?

  • @jimlashbrook5429
    @jimlashbrook5429 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I see 3 problems with this splitter right off the bat. 1 It sits too close to the ground. You are always bent over. I don't know about you but my back can't take it. Better to lift another foot than work bent over. 2 It takes two hands to operate the ram. 3 The ram doesn't go close enough to the wedge to make a complete cut in stringy wood. But it is fast.

    • @evanjosey4745
      @evanjosey4745 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is a little low but no different than any other log splitter. Could always pull it onto some boards or something to make it a good height. You could remove the safety lever with 1 bolt but I wouldn't recommend it, one slip up could be really bad if your hand wasn't out of the way. The ram not going far enough is like alot of other splitters they won't go all of the way or it would cause damage to itself. Overall for what I'm using it for I'm very impressed. Few minor things definitely still wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

    Always cool to here different families logging stories. My family’s history of logging dates back to the early 1900s for me on my mothers side. My grandma started working in the woods in the 1960s running a small dozer skidding for her dad, and helping load trucks by hand. She got out of it for years then started working in the woods again, for my Grandpa in 1993, running the Iron Mule. She did that up until about 5 years ago when she retired and I took her job. Now its just me and my Grandpa running the business, he hand cuts and i skid with the Mule. Even though my grandma is retired she still tries to get out as often as she can and skid (good thing we have 2 mules lol)
