YOU GUYS SURE MADE SHORT WORK OF THOSE ROUNDS. IT IS A GOOD INVESTMENT; THAT BRUCE LEE IN A BOX SURE MAKES YOUR LIFE A LIL EASIER. IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO SEE SKIPPY BOUNCEIN ROUND THE PROPERTY. IT RAINED HERE TODAY TOO. WE REALLY NEED IT FER-SHER STAY COOL MATE... PEACE...
Hey gringo, glad you liked it. I’m enjoying using it, and after a bit more practice now we are even faster. Work smarter not harder they say, what about faster and smarter 😁
It’s bloody impressive eh. It was a gamble getting it….. no regrets so far. It’s nice when the slow part of the job is the wood supply, I’ve had years operating the slow hydraulic and always waiting waiting waiting. Thanks for watching. More videos of the kinetic splitter coming soon.
Hi, guys, thanks for sharing this video. We are glad you enjoyed using this machine, if you have any feedback or questions, feel free to reach out to us. FYI, we do have customers put two small short pieces in a row and split both at the same time if you want speed things up a bit more. 😁
Hey Thanks for watching. Good idea about 2 logs but in reality it’s hard to keep the logs in position , due to vibration, without jamming them onto the cutting head, so I suspect 2 logs would be a bit hit and miss. Any chance you can make a splitter with a moving cutting head and fixed push plate ? Any chance of a 4 way cutting head. I’d love to test that with you.
Thanks for posting this, been wondering about the viability for a kinetic splitter, and moving from a “Redgum” style hydraulic one. I just don’t fully trust when manufacturers or sellers make videos about them. Would love to hear your overall thoughts, pros and cons on this machine and how you feel it suits Australian wood. Cheers
Hi, thanks for watching. Lots more videos coming soon. I’m really impressed with it so far. I do have an issue with it jamming in a few videos time but that’s easily fixed, just bolts coming loose. It feels weak, I wish it was more solid, the tray, main ibeam and covers are all very thin, so I’m always waiting for an issue. My 50t black diamond is solid and it feels like it will last forever, this feels like I’ll get a few years out of it, but….. it’s so fast it cuts the work drastically. The way they work is very hard on the machine, rack and pinion engages with a clunk, gotta get some broken teeth soon….. but, it’s so fast and efficient. Only time will tell. Obviously it’s not designed to split big twisted crotch pieces, but it’s split everything I’ve put through it so far and that’s included some tough yellow box.
I really want to see 1 of those splitters modded so that the wedge moves and pushplate is fixed like on your hydraulic. Would save dragging the wood back all the time when splitting it more.
Holy cow that’s fast. The only upside to the slower machines is that there’s way less chance of losing fingers or limbs just cause you have time to react and stop the movement.
Very true. The machine has a 2 handed safety system to ensure your fingers are away from the sharp bits, but ….. it’s not that great and I’ve disabled it.

Wicked speed, almost a waste if you have to split alone. Im still impressed that it will deal with the kind of stuff you have in Oz

I’m not sure how they decide what’s better, moving knife or moving pusher. The 4 ways or 6 ways are always fixed.
