Busting and Bagging Big Oak Firewood and a Breakdown
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ค. 2022
- In today's project, we've got the Split Force 13/20T splitter busting big Oak rounds into firewood. We'll use the hydraulic log lift to get the pieces on the splitter. Split them down from several different angles. Use the conveyor to fill a bulk bag. Then use the Kioti NX5510 4x4 tractor to move the bag for customer pickup. That's where things start to fall apart and we run into some mechanical trouble. Hopefully we can figure this mess out...

Especially like the view from above the knife!
Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for watching!
Niceties see well used machine by a competent operator, nice job!
Thanks so much for your kind words. The equipment definitely makes the project easier. Really appreciate you watching!
That super deluxe wood splitter is a monster. I always leaned toward less splitting and bigger fireboxes.
At least your tractor fuse block is in a convenient location. To access all of the under dash fuse blocks on every vehicle I own, you'd need to be a double jointed octopus.
Appreciate the compliments! Would you believe I still haven't figured out the tractor issue? It's actually going into the dealer later this week, just haven't been able to spare it until now. Hopefully a quick and easy fix. Thanks so much for watching!
@@FoxfireProjects - When your tractor is fixed, maybe post a video with a searchable title describing the problem and the repair. I love crowd sourced repair info. It's a way to fight back against proprietary service information that prevents us from repairing our machines. Farm equipment manufacturers have been among the worst offenders in denying our right of repair.
@@Liberty4Ever Agree 100%. Will certainly post a follow up!
Great movie. And great background music. It's like meditation our work in the woods 🌲🪓💚🤘greetz from Germany
Glad you enjoyed! Very happy to have you watching from Germany!
@@FoxfireProjects good to hear mate,🤘. Great content what you deliver 👌
Spell check, Nice to see
There are so many times one of these splitters would come in handy. I just finished making a new firewood bunker and set my elevator up directly into it but being able to turn from the bunker directly to my dump truck would be very cool.
Thanks for the video
Precisely why I ordered mine. Really nice to be able to turn and fill areas inside my barn, and then turn around and fill bags or trucks. Appreciate you watching!
Boy those Honda engines are great!!! Liked#11!!!
Agreed, they are hard to beat! Definitely set the standard in small equipment engines. Really appreciate you watching!!
Keep your hands off of the end of the log all the time. You'll never get hurt that way.
Great advice! Counting to 20 is hard enough without all my digits😆 Appreciate you watching!
@@FoxfireProjects
Thank you for taking it in the way it was meant.
It's a good habit to get into, much like never pointing a gun, or waving a gun past anyone, loaded or not.
You've got a nice machine there, I hope you enjoy it for a long time!
Appreciate the kind words. The splitter/conveyor sure does make my life easier. Thanks again for watching!
I like that splitter! Nice work!
Thanks for the kind words. It sure makes the work easier. Appreciate you watching!
Red oak splits so nice 👍🏼. Mother Nature thought I didn’t have enough to do this weekend so she dropped a big red oak in the edge of my yard last night during a storm lol. As for the tractor, where would we be if we didn’t have all these safety features 🙄…..and def fluid 😑
Agreed, it's my favorite wood to split, especially when it's cold, it just pops open. Gotta love storm damage, but at least it's red oak and not a sweet gum. We'd be in the field working, instead of the barn pulling our hair out and the interior of the tractor apart 😂 Hopefully get it solved this weekend. Thanks so much for the comment and for watching!!
Nice video, thanks for sharing. I'm sorry about your tractor frustration. I'm new to your channel due to that wood splitter your working. Is that a Canadian made splitter? Can I asked you it's price when you bought it? And I noticed there are no bars to remove stuck rounds of wood, up to the splitter's wedge. Did you remove them?
Glad to have you Ron! Appreciate the kind words. It is a Canadian made splitter. Price was around $21k, but that was during the pandemic, before supply chain/materials issues, and the dreaded inflation. Mathieu at Split Force can get a current quote. Every once in a while, the wedge will stick in a piece of wood. I just knock it free with a piece of firewood and keep on trucking. It's a great machine. Thanks so much for watching!
Oh boy, an electrical gremlin... You thought of some thorough tests I wouldn't have, so you're probably better at this stuff than me. But my next step would be to start bypassing safety switches, particularly the seat, and see where that goes. Testing for solid grounds on whatever made sense is practical. Finally loose connections. A loose negative battery terminal left me to coast down a mountain pass in Colorado once. After I stumbled onto it I had even had time to ride a couple more old mining roads and was feeling peppy since I solved the problem. I'm sure you're pouring over your favorite search engine for ideas! Some quality time with a volt meter and you should have it licked. I bet it's something vibrated loose or corroded.
These kind of things drive me bonkers. Hopefully this weekend I'll have some time to do as you suggested and bypass each safety switch. Coasting down a mountain pass sounds like quite the ride, at least it was the battery terminal and not the brakes that gave out haha. Will definitely update when I find the culprit, but at least my screwdriver key works in the meantime. Always appreciate your comments and you watching!!
@@FoxfireProjects Did you ever figure out this gremlin? I'd be curious to know how it worked out.
@@AnomadAlaska I gave up (got busy). Ashamed to say I’m still starting it with a screw driver. Everything else works properly. Just finished my last cutting job for the year, and using it this weekend to move logs. After that she’s going to the dealer and will hopefully be repaired under warranty. Will update in a video. Always appreciate you watching!
There is a safety switch behind the seat I had the dealer replace under warranty.
First thing I tried was jumping that switch, with no luck. Ended up being a control module buried under a few panels. Was lucky enough to be under warranty. Thanks for watching!
So I notice the bad wasn't filled all the way up do they have a fill to line ? It's a 1/3 of cord wood bag right? Thank you !
Good eye! Yes they are 1/3 cord (or face cord) bags, but the customer only wanted a half bag. They live in a townhouse and keep the wood on their back patio in a 4x4 rack. Appreciate you commenting and watching!
Like the splitter. Wonder what you used before?? Just subscribed. Have a Safe Day
Thanks for the kind words. This week's video will shed a little light on what I used prior to the Split Force 13/20T. Glad to have you a long. Thanks so much for watching!
I like how you can ride on it to move it around looks like another Canadian outfit are putting it together if don’t mind me asking what was the price on the unit ? Maybe they seen your up grades and started doing it on all them first I seen a unit like that ( name )
It's super handy being able to move it around and reposition as needed. Split Force is Canadian, and were very easy to deal with. I paid around $19k USD for this unit. That was pre pandemic with the supply chain and materials shortages. I believe they are a bit more these days, like everything else. Thanks again for watching!
It's been a while you've had your machine.....are you still happy 😊
I am! Have really fallen into a rhythm with the Split Force 13/20T. Zero issues other than wedging a piece of split wood under the conveyor chain (my fault for not picking up the conveyor when it got close to the top of the pile). It just works and I don't have to worry about it! Thanks for checking back in. Appreciate you watching!
has that splitter ever given you a problem with splitting knotty wood at all? anything it hasn't been able to split?
I've had a few pieces get wedged, that had to be pounded out and turned slightly, but those are rare, and mostly due to me not paying attention. Hard to bog down a single wedge, even in knotty wood, especially if you know what you're doing. We go through quite a bit of tree service wood, and it works really well. That being said, the really ugly pieces get thrown on the boiler wood pile. Sometimes it's just not worth the extra time and effort for the really ugly stuff. Thanks so much for watching!
Can you provide link to where you get your bulk bags? Sorry if this question has been asked before.
Absolutely! NNZ.com They are a pretty big company. The person I order direct from can be reached via email at mlollar@nnzusa.com Thanks so much for watching!
I live in NC (near Charlotte) too and I am going to buy one of these later this year. Did you go through a local dealer or get it shipped from Canada?
I purchased through Mat at Empire Attachments. Let him know I sent you. He'll fix you right up. msavard@empireattachments.com Thanks so much for watching!
@@FoxfireProjects That's who I've been talking to. Thanks for the heads up. Keep up the good work on this channel!
How do you deliver your wood?
For the bulk bags, we've got an F550 boom truck, check out my video th-cam.com/video/FMUXnQtX4Aw/w-d-xo.html to see the process. We also deliver in pickups, but typically only if stacking or wheel barrow services are requested. Thanks so much for watching!
That was premium bundle grade red oak.
My customer's love Oak. We've got a lot of it here in the southern states. Thanks so much for watching!
Where u buy it at ?
I purchased mine through Mathieu at Empire Attachments. empireattachments.com Great folks to deal with. Thank for watching!
