We did another splitter wars. This time we had different rules and some new splitters. th-cam.com/play/PLm_rRiAZ8w7sYRKtu-daVoPkCt4sVWn3v.html
Splitter Wars 2020 is an excellent demonstration of each splitter. I'm sure this made it easier for people in the market to decide. To buy big or small, or to build it themselves. I had a great time viewing all of these.
Thank you for putting this together.
Please have a 2021 version.
Wooly - you the man.
Thanks for watching it. I hope it helped people decide which splitter to get. We just did another splitter wars. th-cam.com/play/PLm_rRiAZ8w7sYRKtu-daVoPkCt4sVWn3v.html
I really enjoyed all of your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Well done cheers from OZ.
Thanks 👍
A nice review of all the splitters.
Thanks! 👍
I like the Easton splitter but I have a Timber Wolf TW-1 that will keep up with the rest that I saw. It is a great little splitter that is American made, has a Honda engine, is light and easy to move and will split a lot of wood with a 4 way head. For such a small splitter, it will eat up 20-24" rounds
The TW-1 is a nice splitter at its price point.
Don't be so hard on yourself mate, excellent people, excellent outcome, well done.
Thanks Tom! Some were dissatisfied with the results. When people don't get the results they want, they get upset.
I think the ones complaining should show themselves splitting wood! I have watched all and loved it. Mad props to spitting with and ax!Awesome colab!
I totally agree! Thanks for watching all of the videos.
Well said Roger...it was fun to see all those types of splitters for sure. Do like yours alot. I use the vertical type easyier on my old back...Thanks again and looking forward to the next one.!!
Thanks 👍 I wish I had a vertical horizontal splitter for this since that is the most popular type of splitter.
Excellent recap. Thanks for including me Roger. Splitter Wars was and excellent collaboration idea
Thanks Adam! I was glad you participated. Were you going to do another submission with the box wedge?
Tractor Tech I will shortly. Just trying to find the time
Good demonstration of log splitters but I personally dont mind the old school conventional log splitter most people dont need a commercial grade log splitter if they arent selling wood even selling wood you can get by with a conventional log splitter you'll still make money being outside and working on your woodpile is just as important as how fast you split it good competition though
Thanks! Next time I am going to have a vertical horizontal splitter in splitter wars. GPoutdoors splitter was not a commercial grade splitter.
Buddy with the maul was a descendant of thor.
He did good.
My only thought is; next time everyone should use ONLY a two-way splitting wedge. Yes, some were split bigger than others but you addressed that. Let's make it an equal playing field with a two-way splitting wedge. Other than that this was a GREAT demonstration. Thanks and I am looking forward to next year.
I just hit the SUBSCRIBE button.
I kind of see what you saying about the wedge but, not many people buy a high dollar splitter to run a 2 way wedge. They buy it so they can run a multiway wedge. We just did another splitter wars. th-cam.com/play/PLm_rRiAZ8w7sYRKtu-daVoPkCt4sVWn3v.html
You give people $1 and some will bitch that you didn't give them $5. Thank you for putting Splitter Wars together. I think there are alot of people who appreciate it. I know I do.
Thanks!
Good work men.
Thanks!
A very good wrap up Roger. There were many very positive comments throughout all the channels of the participants. I know it was tough to organize but know that we are all appreciative of your efforts because it turned out wonderfully well for all involved. I too thank you for including me into the mix.
Thanks! It was nice to meet you!
I think you did a great job in every way! I enjoyed all the different splitters and seeing how they worked. Everyone Won! I have a DR Rapid splitter which is very similar to yours. If you set up your process properly, it will be as fast as or faster than any other process as long as you don't have gnarly/knotty difficult to split wood. I put those on a Oregon 28 Ton hydraulic splitter. Setting up the process to minimize steps, delays, and repeated lifting will be the fastest. I am 77 and have been splitting wood since 1972. Good Work! Thanks!
Thanks for watching all of the videos! Your right, to speed up your process time, you need to reduce the handling! I hope I am still splitting when I am 77.
I thought it was a cool collaboration & demonstration of man and machines.
I am already looking forward to 2021 demonstration.
Thanks, I am glad you are looking forward to 2021!
Yeah add more people
It's not a matter how big your wood is everybody wants the same size piece of wood. You have to produce for the customer. Fast what's the best way to produce
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Roger. I watched every participant's video and enjoyed them all. I had a feeling the wood-split size was going to be a bit controversial. Thanks for clearly explaining the specific guidelines. It was a fun event and everyone seemed to enjoy it. I subbed all participants whom I wasn't already subbed to show support. Full-watch. 👍🏽
Thanks for watching all of the videos and subbing to their channel! It was a good bunch of guys! The funny thing about the split size is so many people here sell wood about that size. I wish I could because at that rate I could do 2 cords an hour.
Good job setting that all up. It was nice to see the variety of machines!
Thanks! I never imagined we would have had such a variety.
Roger that splitter wars was a great idea, and you picked some good guys and machines to put together some awesome action, your all winners👍👍
Thanks 👍 You are right, it was a good group of guys.
I really enjoyed the different kind of splitters.
Thanks for watching them all!
Great idea, it is great to compare everyone's splitters. We did a video too google "splitter wars 2020 papple" just over five minutes for a face cord. Our split size is a little larger than some but it is what we want. Ours is a 10 way box splitter with leg operated controls. I designed it after watching a lot of you tube videos. Just roll them in and it pushes out fully split wood.
That is a fast splitter! I like the leg operated control idea. That keeps your hands free to handle wood.
Personally, I thought everyone did a fine job and I enjoyed each and every video! Thanks for setting this up!
Glad you enjoyed it!
this was awesome!
Thanks Dave! How are you doing?
@@TractorTech doing ok brother. trying to stay safe from this virus going around. Hope you are doing well.
I think we all had a lot of positive comments. Some did not understand a few rules and we could see in the nature of the comment. This was a great demonstration of each splitter. Whatever the time to split a face cord, would the rounds be identical or not, would they use the exact same species or not, people were able to compare splitter in very similar situations. Thank you for including me in that demonstration, I appreciate! Thanks!
Yes, it was a great demonstration of each splitter. I was glad to have you apart of it! It will be interesting the next time we do it to see how each ones time compares with smaller splits.
Nice job Roger looks like you guys had fun sorry i misted it ! been out side trying to help where i can the last 2 weeks to clean up and trying to get the garden in now it is raining !! hope you are staying safe and having a great weekend !!
Yeah, it was fun. You can watch the playlist at the end of this video. It has everyone's splitter wars submission. The weather has made it hard to do anything here it is either very windy or raining. I am doing well. How about you?
How's she goin'? Roger, for me, Splitter Wars was nothing but lovely!!! A great demo of various splitters and what they can and can not do. I think all the entries were very honest in rating their splitters as to the pros and cons. Wooly was amazing and offered a great base line for helping someone decide whether or not a powered splitter was in their future. A great event and a big thank you to you for initiating the demo!!! Take care!!
Thanks for watching the videos! Everyone did a great job and was fair about what they were doing.
Good evening Roger. Thanks for the excellent wrap up and summary of the Splitter Wars initiative. I have received a lot of positive feedback on my channel, on the collaborative effort you organized. Yup, tough to try to get several folks, across different geographic regions, to find similar wood or diameters, but I think it was correct to require the 6 splits, regardless of size, to provide a statistically reasonable comparison. The size of the rounds is insignificant, in respect to the effort, of the splits. So all good in my books!! I think it was really helpful for a lot of people, based on the feedback I received. And I want to extend a huge thanks to you for organizing such a special, and unique, collaboration across numerous channels on TH-cam! Good stuff and thanks again for including me in this helpful initiative. All the best and talk again soon!
Thanks for the help you gave me! I am glad you received so much positive feedback! I have seen several comments saying, "I like that splitter" or "I have never seen a splitter like that"' across all of our channels. One guy said he would have to take out a second mortgage on his home to buy your splitter. That is why I mentioned the price of yours. Have a good week!
Great summary. Thanks for putting this together. I enjoyed the whole "contest". I think Adam won. LOL!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Will be making my wood business videos soon. Appreciate the time you put into this.
Thanks! Check out my channel for more firewood related content. Let me know when you get your firewood videos up.
splitter wars was awesome to watch thank you for all the work that went in to it have a great day
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video roger. I really enjoyed watching everyone's videos. Lots of variations and lots of different ways to do it. I think you guys really hit the nail on the head wih it.
Thanks Andrew! The funny thing was, we did not have a vertical horizontal splitter in it, but we had just about every other type of splitter represented. I saw Expo Richmond was rescheduled will you be able to attend?
@@TractorTech not sure if we are going to be to richmond. Lots going on in the fall. We have machines ordered for October right now.
Good day Sir, you did an outstanding job of organising this great job !!! I did, watch all of them !!! Yes everyone was a winner !!! Great team works !!! Joe was a real funny one reading and drinking LOL !!! Cheers and thank you again for this great videos !!
Thanks Dave! It was so much more work to organize than what I imagined. Thanks for watching all of them. Joe's humor was a great way to show how easy his splitter is to use.
Nice review Roger!!!
Thanks Eric!
Good stuff, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Loved the videos. I thought that they wee a very good idea and got a lot of attention.
Thanks!
Argeed, everyone won ! Well said
Thanks Wooly!
Thanks for the invite to sw2020, I can't wait for the next one
No problem. We will have to figure out when the next one is going to be.
Roger very good recap of the event and thanks again for the invite to participate. I had a fun time with Splitter Wars from start to finish except for having to restack my face cord and getting the collab playlist to work. Lol Thanks again take care brother.
Thanks Ben! Yeah the whole process was fun! Your right, that playlist was a pain in the butt! Have a good week!
That's BS dog .. wtf we need a clear win🙃🤛
Well, I had the fastest time...
I would like to be apart of this next year. I have a push through, dual split with a 4 way wedge, and can split by hand faster than all of them. I've watched all of them good stuff! My Splitter Wars 2020 video submission is now up on my channel.
Thanks! I'll keep you in mind for the next one. Do you have a HF splitter?
@@TractorTech yes the HF 20 dual with a 4 way dual wedge.
@@woodnyardjunkie I had one of those. They are highly underrated. The worst thing about it is, bark and chips get caught in the beam making a mess.
@@TractorTech I agree that is the biggest down fall of it. If too much wood builds up in the cylinder it can bust the seal. Also like you pointed out if too much builds up at the end it doesn't want to split though rounds all the way on the return stroke. HF should have made some sort of shroud to cover the end of the cylindar to prevent this. I have to constantly dig out wood with needle nose pliers. Other than that it's been a good splitter for the price. I'm going to make a 6 way wedge for the push through and add a 13hp honda soon.
Hello will we get another spliter wars?
We did it 2 times. th-cam.com/play/PLm_rRiAZ8w7sYRKtu-daVoPkCt4sVWn3v.html
Thought splitter wars was on point to show different splittings styles. All did a bang up job 👍
Thanks Bob!
Nice video, well done!
Thank you very much!
i never got on the playlist but did make a video of me splitting by hand and i agree it was fun to see all the different splitters as i am thinking of going to a splitter. if you are curious you can watch my video by searching 2020 splitter wars and mine will say video 2 my contribution to splitter wars.
The playlist was for established you tube channels. You did a nice job splitting by hand. That was an impressive time. What kind of splitter are you thinking about getting?
@@TractorTech eastonmade is what i would probably get.
I watched all the videos and they were great and in most cases showed a lot of expenditure of sweat. The only thing really missing from the event is the results all on 1 table. The kinetic completely smashed the competition although I don't think the right cutter was chosen for the Eastonmade by Hometown Acres.
Thanks! I thought about mentioning the times in this video. If hometown would have split his wood once, he would have been the fastest. He had a 6 way wedge and the wood needed to be split 6 times.
Even though the title said "Splitter War", I considered the videos as a reasonable demonstration of different splitting machines by the owners. The outcome would be different if the manufacturers had presented their videos(probably edited). Looked like all the participants had a good time even if they worked. I have seen some videos of mechanical splitters(mostly from Europe) that would be considered hair raising.
That is what we were shooting for. I know when I go to buy something it is nice to see the manufacturer demo the product, but it is even better seeing a 3rd party use it. We all have a fair amount of experience running our splitters so I think it was a good representation of them. Yeah, those Euro splitters can get sketchy looking.
learned a few things from this war can t wait for ww 2
That is great to hear!
Great job Roger; enjoyed watching every video. For the next one could you consider a no larger than split size; say 6"x6", 7"x7", 6"
x7" etc, whatever you guys agree on. That should make things fairer. If I ever wanted my home made splitter to be considered what would I need to do? Thanks much
The split size is going to be smaller next time, like my normal size of firewood. Specifing a size would create problems. If I said 4x4 splits, then someone in the comments would probably say one split looked like it was 4.125x4. It needs to be a number of splits that equals a smaller size. We may do smaller wood so it will be easier for every to handle. I'm thinking about some different options, so I can include more people. Can you describe your splitter?
Well done good group of guys and girls Thank You All Take Care Be Safe Living The Dream. Will you do it again ? I like to see Steel to Wood Seating in his living room operating his wood splitter with a remote control. And could we get a close up of what book he was looking at splitting wood. lol thank you all God Bless
Thanks, yes we will do it again. Maybe we could at least get Joe to put a TV out on the car port so he can watch it while splitting.
So you know thank you lol looking foreword to it God Bless Take Care Be Safe
Cool!
Thanks!
6 pieces, people what so hard to understand about that.
I thought those were good videos.
Thanks Larry!
