Splitting BIG Firewood - Last of the Titans - with

- In this video I split up the last of the BIG rounds of firewood I have in the wood yard. Amanda was helping out so I had some added muscle to assist...lol...one big round was a double barrel crotch piece so was nice having an extra set of 'guns' to help.

It is a rewarding feeling when those monsters are in the wood pile. We had some elm that size we split upon once, said never again.
Great video Shifty! Love it when Amanda gets into the action. I agree with you................all wood is good wood to burn. Use it all!
Good job 👍
SUPER !!!! 💪💪💪
Good morning Sir 😊 Nice intro video with your boy Sir 👌😊 I can tell by your hard weekly physical training and work, that you are starting to melt that belly of your Sir 👌😊 Great team work helper that you have Sir 👍 You are the best with that great spirits of yours 👍 Great tractor 👍 That Log splitter is a strong one for sure 👍 Have a blessed Sunday to both of you 🙏 Cheers 😊👌
Thanks my friend...appreciate the comment. 👍😀🍻

Hey pal, tell Amanda she’s really awesome 😳😳😳
Nice to see narley rounds being cutup instead of just straight rounds. Great video!!!
That was some gnarly wood. Wolfe ridge is a very impressive machine.
Nice job.
Good job 40. I also like a challenge with those big blocks. If I waste my gas and time cutting them I take them to the wood yard💪💪💪
Wolfe Ridge came out with a 12 and a 16 way splitter, video is approximately the same time frame as your video. It was designed for 24" and up
I use my loader like Amanda did on the last round. I don't have a table on my splitter and use my bucket for that purpose. It works out well for a one man operation.
I love that splitter it’s a beast!
Funny logs like that never make it on to the splitter demo videos. No matter what you have for a splitter big logs are just a beast
I cut and split over sized wood for years in my boiler. Great wood, but I built my splitter to split those really big pieces on the ground. Nice pile of wood👍
Them big rounds are a pain but they really add up nice!! Oh shifty you were showing off your muscles hahaha!! Stay safe my friend!!
Awesome splitting action.
Last time I did big rounds like that I pulled my back out and was hurting for two weeks. Just to let you know my new echo timber wolf runs circles around my old husky. I love it.
Nice Skink!
Wow, I didn't think anyone would know what that was...nice! I had to do some research when I saw/found the 1st one many years ago. Since then we usually run across a few every summer.
Back 40 Firewood,
Common in Texas!
I’m a veritable cesspool of useless and uninteresting information!!!
I hope that I will have a boiler at some point and can use those big chunks myself!
Narley rounds for sure.. Glad you gave a splitter that can handle it all..
Yeah, the Wolfe Ridge had a bit of a work out on that one getting thru the cross grain.
very relaxing watching videos of other people splitting firewood! Thoroughly enjoyed! Infact i was dissappointed when you fast tracked the last big one lol
Awesome 👍
Some pretty nasty rounds Dan. You managed that splitter like a pro! Done! Cheers!
Thanks my friend...I'm sure I'll be finding myself getting into more big ugly stuff here in not too long...lol...gotta have a challenge every now & then, makes the cold ones at the end of the day more rewarding....hahahaha 👍😀🍻
Man some big rounds for sure.
I got another 8 face chords of wood yesterday already cut and dry red oak white oak ash locust nice
Great to have good help.spliter did good.nice job!
You make it look so easy!! You could prob 'get 'er done' using a little Wolfe Bumps splitter. Or maybe Bumpin' Billy Rae's splittin' hatchet. My own way would be to decrease my carbon footprint instead of running the splitter so long, and go ahead and cut that block with the chainsaw, with the grain about six ways, make a lot of fire starter confetti, then split what's left. Rasslin' blocks like that up on the splitter isn't good fun, if you stop and think about it.
I always cut big rounds like that in half my splitter is a lot smaller, I've got a stihl 661 so a lot faster for me personally. great video
Yeah using a 661 would make a difference for sure...my little 291 doesn't like rippin thru the big stuff...lol 👍😀🍻
Tim from Canada do not know why you do not invest in a pair of forks for your woodlot you seem to be doing an off a lot of work with the bucket if you had forks on your bucket it would make your job a whole lot easier doing your reward processing.. you can buy a pair that goes read on your bucket.. i’m sure if you want to Kabota nurse them they could probably give you a pair of forks for a half decent price" it would make your job coming out of the bush a whole lot easier too
Nice splitting! You really put the Wolferidge to the test on those rounds. That splitter is awesome and the look on Amanda's face at about the 5 minute mark, my wife gives me that look all the time lol. Great video.
Hahahaha...yeah I've seen that look a time or two! 😆👍🍻
Back 40 Firewood it’s the look that says “now I know why women live longer than men” 😂
Have suggest using a saw and save your back but just like a kid you are risking your back, there is a I told you so coming. But don't you hurt that beautiful young lady with your hard head. I'm a father and a grandfather. Get smart be safe. Love you kids.
Nice to see a real splitter at work! Try that with a big box store special.
Nice to see The Amazing Amanda also. Is she the Assistant Wood Hound or Wood Hound II?
THAT WAS A GIANT PIECE OF WOOD, MY SPLITTER WOULD NOT EVEN TOUCH IT. BUT I DIDN'T GET TO WATCH A DEER WALK BY
salamander was the animal
10:26 Mr. Miyagi would be proud Daniel-San🥋
I feel your pain most of my wood is from tree service guys 👍
lol...yeah it makes ya appreciate splitting 'normal' wood, but can also be a fun challenge splitting up the big ugly stuff. 👍😀🍻
Now I remember why I leave the ugly pieces where they lay.
Why did u not cut it in half first.?
That splitter seems to work very well have you ever had a chunk that it wouldn’t push through? I’m glad we’re done with the big chunks for now, I was starting to get tired.🚜🌲🪓👍
lol...yeah I'm glad those big ugly ones are done & on the stack. I do have a few big Ash rounds left but they should split pretty easy. 👍😀🍻
That splitter is a beast. Are you going to build that thing a shelter to get it out of the weather?
I've got the one shelter for rain, but was just thinking the other day about what to do for when the snow flies.
Back 40 Firewood one of those movable medal car ports would work. Around here there about 1000 bucks. You assemble it and your all set
That was almost a pain in the ash!
I have 5 ton electric splitter which ok but I making one with a job pump I think it will be a bout 35 ton
I like your new video today you did a really good jop today this was a lot off work you did today good jpp buddy
Thanks...it was a bit of work, but actually not that bad. Now all the big ugly ones are split up. 👍😀🍻
Are you working on firewood tomorrow buddy
Did you see me on live Friday night buddy
It is my son birthday on Friday this Friday coming buddy
Good night too you guys buddy
Nice job 40! You are a gluten for punishment. Wow that was some nasty stuff!! Boiler doesn’t matter what it eats though 🤣 Stay safe B 🆒
lol.....well that round wasn't actually too bad to move around & get thru compared to the one I had to push off the end 3 times...hahaha...but yeah once it's inside the boiler's belly it'll all burn the same. 👍😀🍻
I ment a JC b pump
Wolfridge should let you use their new world's largest splitter
LOL....I don't think my tractor would be able to move that thing around....it's a BEAST!
For handling big wood like that you really need to look at something like the jib winch that Steel to Wood showed off on his Splitter Wars 2020 video.
I suppose you've used a splitter in vertical position. I love your current splitter, but I was just wondering which was easier for those truly huge pieces.
Has the Wolfe ridge ever not been able to push through ? My old splitter seems to jamb up and I gotta hit it off the wedge with the maul.
Trying to stop a Wolf Ridge is like trying to stop a freight train they push right through
Where did you get the platform on back of your tractor
Chainsaw
Nice work Shifty, i would have burned that big round in the burn pit and not even tried to split it up, but you did it and got a lot out of it, also you need to work out with Amanda more she will get you butt back into shape, lol, but the channel can use a women's touch like that tractor work, my wife can't do that, and if i asked " hey honey i need for you to help me move this big round" she would give me the phone no. of the kid up the road to come over, she can use the Table Saw, Bandsaw, Router and the welder, but driving something, forget it. Stay Safe Dan and Amanda
lol...she's working on getting me back in shape...and yeah I was afraid once she learned how to drive I might not be able to take back the seat & use it myself...but surprisingly that wasn't the case....hahahaha 👍😀🍻
I have a Timberwolf TW5 with 36" splitting cylinder so as I can spit longer wood for my Hardy outdoor boiler. However, as seen in this video and 99.5% of all splitters (including mine), we have the same issue. Lots of (stringy) pieces will not completly pass thru the wedge, hence no complete split. Log has to be reversed and split at other end to complete split in half. Frustrating. Does anyone know of a Good Extender (with a cut out in middle so as to pass wedge) that we can use to resolve this issue? I want to make sure the extender makes complete use of the push plate on the spliter. I'm thinking maybe 2 pieces of thick steel on each side of the pushplate. Any ideas/suggestions?
That's a interesting idea with the ram/plate that could push all the way past the wedge. I usually just end up using another piece of wood but yeah a lot of splitters stop like 2 inches before the wedge.
Have you ever considered noodling those large pieces into more manageable sizes?
That’s what I have to do.
That’s exactly what I would have done 👍
Since I don't have a log lift I have to split then down or noodle then down..
Sometimes I do depending on the round, but for how long it takes me to rip/noodle with the MS291 I could have it split into manageable size pieces on the splitter so I usually just use the log lift and make it work.
SHOULD SAW INTO FIRST.
You sure do love the #MoreWorkThanWorth blocks.
I'll let u use my splitter..nothing against that wolfridge but mine is set up for it..n I'd have my 4-way on
There's still a lot of hard work with those big ugly ones on a horizontal machine. Vertical splitters are better for them in my humble opinion.
HAY ( D ) COOL SALAMANDER, DID YOU CHECK OUT THE NEW SPLITTER AT WOLFE RIDGE??? NICE CONAN THE WOOD HOUND MUSIC YOU LIKE FLOYDY KIND OF MUSIC-??? CHECK OUT REINHARDT BUHR, TRIPPY MAN...

Amanda does not appear to be wearing hearing protection. Get her some, for both your sakes when you get older and realize you are loosing your hearing.
Hi good vid but, wheres the music thank you god bless take care terry australia.
Did Amazing Amanda wrestle back in the day? I could see her jumping off the top ropes
LOL...nope, but she was in gymnastics when she was younger.
Don't need the Music. It is a distraction.
Too big for me
Nice splitter, BUT, your helper is MUCH BETTER LOOKING THAN YOU.
