Many good, valid points for people to consider before buying a machine. I always tell people (and you did address this) first and foremost, what do you want to use the tractor to do? To me, once you figure out the chores that you want to do, THEN you can start deciding what size you think you'll need. A lot of people base the size of their machine on how large their property is. I think that's ass-backwards. Again, for me, it all comes down to what do you want to accomplish with the machine, and then you can figure out what frame size, HP etc. Good video Tim!

Cool setup, just curious why you wouldn’t just put the bucking table next to the splitter it self?

Good vid Tim! I need to start doing something to get my firewood and firewood drying area ready for Winter. I'm about out of the first 30 IBC's that I've bought, and I don't know that I want to buy another trailer load. I've probably wrecked 6 or 8 of the IBC bases when moving them, because I still have a hard time seeing my pallet forks when moving them around. I don't want to continue spending 30.00 each on them if I'm just going to continue ruining them. I'm thinking that I may start buying some of those blue or black plastic pallets that I see for sale on marketplace for 5.00 each, and then try using the bags that you're using. I think I'd be less likely to ruin the bags when moving them, and plastic pallets (I would think) would be pretty durable. So, if I did that, I'd hopefully have something that would last longer, and it would also eliminate having to stack the firewood, which sounds like a HUGE plus to me. I'm going to have to figure out something quickly. Nice work on the video!

Squirrels and rats love plastic. I had some 20+ yards of wire under a ground level deck consumed by rats. A few inches of wire on 120v lighting eaten by squirrels - it was probably thankful the lights were off at the time. Cameras are all PoE and wires all inside soffits, etc. I'd bury the wire in a post if I needed to mount away from a house/garage.

Thank you for sharing

If you could use a battery operated hole hog ,the lower speed and high torque would make it safer . Of course,if it is too hard for that,you might get a broken arm.

Darn squirrel, I had them chew off 5 lights on a string of lights by the fire pit

We have a lot of little ones. They love to chew on wires, get inside to be warm. We have 4 Mr Cool mini split A/C. one stopped working. DIY service, I opened it and found a mouse had made a home inside the plastic control box, chewed the wires, pee on the PCB. Got the replacement control box. Went through the unit and blocked all the entry spots with hardware cloth on all the outside AC Condenser units. Also, opened the propane tank fill cover. Mice nest again, chewed wire to the cellular control. Patch the wire and mouse proofed the tank cover. Wildlife loves wires plastic. 😅

Glad you got it fixed!

maybe put a ratchet strap between the x on the lifting mechanism and where the conveyer rests for transport.

This trick has been around for a very long time I can't believe someone monetized it and even more wild people are buying it. Crazy. Being the video is only a month old I thought maybe something new but no same old... couple dollars at the hardware store is all it takes.

Also I don't know why in the world they put the motor at the bottom there is no logical reason whatsoever I mean even the lines are long enough to where it could be up top. If they say it's so you can fold it up my question is has anyone ever folded it up ? It takes too long to get the tracking right to risk it. If range road is reading this thank you for making an affordable conveyor for us who don't have the means or can justify spending 15 k so thank you it has been tremendously helpful to me but I am begging you to get me access to a chain conversion kit. My belt is all chewed up i can't keep it tracking now for more than 5 minutes and I have reached out to dealers from nh to Pennsylvania and can not get one. I guarantee if you have a thousand conversions made and send out a notice that they are available to every customer you sold one of these to you would be out of stock before they got off the freighter. But once again thanks again for making it possible for us to have a conveyor . One other thought is to have a longer option as a lot of us small timers are limited on space and want to go higher because we don't have the space to go out.

The tracking is an absolute nightmare. The new ones are chain drive and they need to start stocking a conversion immediately. Also you are right the trough is way too small.

Excellent video. Thanks very much

No more cranking and wheezing. The Red Green show.

Thats a $800 stump easy! A $250 stump would be about 25"-30" lol

Your Supervisor did a top notch job!! Give him a raise!!

i made mine out of a deep well socket

Yes if you’re hooking and unhooking the trailer more often. I heard you say you have a battery in the box and I see the little solar panel on there. What is that battery being used for? I have a cargo trailer that is quite heavy and has stabilizer jack stands. I have to go up and down with the tongue of the trailer 5 times to hitch it up! Because, I have a load leveling hitch. I put on one of the harbor freight 12v jacks. Wasn’t that expensive and I put alligator clips on it so it doesn’t stay live when not in use. ✌️

So why not just leave the trailer at correct height when disconnecting from hitch on truck.

I love my Ryobi 80v cordless kinetic log splitter. Love it. A LOT less expensive than your SuperSplit, which is grossly overpriced, imo.

I like that tool quite handy and inexpensive!! Does your trailer jack have 2 speeds?" On a semi trailer the landing gear have 2 speeds and your jack is very similar. To make it work you push the handle in or pull it out in order to engage the gears. Then again your jack may not have the gearing.

Awesome review, thanks! That's exactly the kind of real world user review I've been looking . It's not a premium machine for many reasons but still gets the job done even if it needs to be babied a little.

Can’t bet that.

Where can I find that cab?

I totally approve of the easy crank method.

Cost savings aside, how do you like the Hearthstone? Did it heat the house nicely? Any issues? I just looked at one and I am thinking about picking one up to replace my insert.

I don’t know about those little trailers but they look a lot like class 8 trailer landing legs. Big trailers have a 2 speed crank, push it in for low range (heavy lifting) and pull out for high speed (no load).

Buy the time you did all of that you could have cranked it up or down.

You don't have to wait to flip your locks. The arms are angled and have springs. Use the quick hitch as designed.

Tell your friend to get a haircut.

Awesome , where can you get that part and a drill for $50.00 ?

I think I’m going to buy one soon hopefully. I was using an old hay elevator. It worked ok but it’s defiantly not designed for firewood. Great review! Thank you!

That is what I've heard also. Wood won't really start to dry/season until you split it! Great advice! Thank you!

5:50 I thought about making myself something like that to put on my trailer I've got the same kind of crank on my trailer you got

Where did you get your firewood bag rack/stand from? I enjoyed watching your SuperSplitter at work! I am thinking of getting one of those! Thank you for the video!!

Great video. I am just about to pull the trigger and your pros and cons were excellent. Those cons don’t bother me at this point. Glad you are happy with it. I feel I’m going to be pleased as well. Thanks for taking the time.

I like the EZ Crank tool. Thanks for the video. 👍🏽🤠 09/07/24

Great saw! Greetings from Germany 🤘

Hello from România

How many teeth does the pinion have?

👍🇺🇸

Good to see! I JUST did a couple of updates to my bucking table yesterday afternoon, because like you, I don't cut a lot in the Summer months. But cutting time is near, and I want all of my stuff ready to rip when it's "go time"! I'll actually be doing some cutting this weekend. Ya, it looks like the saw is cutting well for you, and apparently you know how to put an edge on a chain, because your chips looked good.

Still has a fair bit of torque and you need to pay attention to that or you may regret it.....

I think it is because the part that actually moves in and out are away from everything that way and the hoses will stay stationary.

I think it's because the part that actually moves in and out is away from everything. Plus the hoses will stay stationary.

I really have no idea if you were right or wrong the first time, as I've never even had a hydraulic top link (although I'm about to get one), and I'll bet that Richard Smyth is probably right. But I'll also bet that it's more important in HIS situation than it was in yours. Our "little" tractors can only lift about 3,500lbs. (on mine, and probably a little less on yours). I don't know that we'll be able to pick up heavy enough implements to do any real damage to the top links. On something like his, where you mentioned that he's working with 400HP machines, they'll probably lift 3 X what ours lift on the 3pts, so it's probably more important that he gets his right than it is in our situations. Who knows? Maybe I'm wrong about that too though. And if there is a correct way to put them on, I'd just as soon do it correctly. Good video Tim!

You have a good head on your shoulders. There is no shame for being wrong, & no shame in failing. As long as we correct our mistakes, we are learning. Thanks for another quality video.

We have a hearthstone. Generally, I clean the stovepipe and honeycomb after burning a cord of seasoned hardwood. They burn so clean with that catalyst that you don’t get much soot in the pipe if you run it hot a couple times per week for a few hours

Got mine yesterday and all put together, here's my thoughts (short term) it wasn't too bad to put together but my God put some updated instructions in the damn create! Yes you can print off some but the pictures in some cases left me guessing. I wasn't missing anything, not even a washer and it was a good idea of the bots being attached to the different pieces so there wasn't guessing if you have the right bolts and nuts. I wish they used better. hardware, its all held together with maybe grade 4-5 hardware (wished they used grade 8) but I'll be spraying the entire machine down with Crown or Fluid Film spray to help with the rust. Some other things are some of the hoses seem to run in bad spots like the ones from the control levers to the rear pump, they go right over the rear jack handle so its difficult to crank up the jack. the needle valve is about useless so you have to feather the control lever or else the trough goes up violently. Wish they had support stands on the trough itself. The whole thing took me about 5-5.5 hours to put together and you will need 2 people to flip over the 2 trough pieces once they are bolted together and sit it on the conveyor and line everything up. The chain was a PITA to install, it was getting caught up in all the framing and hoses trying to run it from front to back and what I did (being by myself) was ran the chain top and bottom, got it as tight as I could (both ends were basically in the middle of the trough) then used a large wrench to put in between the chain and end of trough to keep the chain from rolling back then that gave me enough stretch to put the chain together then had to tension the chain up quite a bit and made sure they were equal measurements on both sides. Then, I put in all the fluids (about 2.5 gallons of hydraulic fluid total and about 3/4 of a quart of engine oil) and after some oopp's on my part it fired right up and ran great. Fully extended I bet it's 11-12ft tall if not a bit higher. This will save me a lot of time and glad it goes as high as it does so I can stack wood up very tall. Listen, it's not a Wolfe Ridge or Eastonmade but its not 13k either but there is definite room for improvement!
