Split wood 6x faster with kinetic power. Using kinetic energy, the Kinetic Log Splitter consumes less fuel that hydraulic splitters, saving you time and money on fuel and work efficiency. This log splitter cuts wood fast and consumes less fuel. Proudly made in the USA.
Why Buy a Kinetic Log Splitter?
Kinetic splitters consume less fuel than hydraulic splitters because the power requirements on the engine are less. No hydraulic fluid, cylinders, pumps, hoses, fittings, or filters eliminates hydraulic leaks and maintenance.The precision wedge splits clean, creating less wood-waste debris. Built for years of use and tested and proven with commercial firewood producers. The log splitter has a retractable work table and tongue, and let's you get work done up to 6X faster with less effort.
How does it work?
Precision balanced, 70-pound flywheels spin at 325 RPMs to create and store kinetic energy. As the flywheels turn, the pinion gear spins on the same shaft. When the control handle moves forward, the rack presses onto the pinion gear. The rack and push plate power forward at high speed, pushing the log through the wedge. This burst of energy adds high speed to the splitting action versus a much slower 20 to 40 ton hydraulic log splitter. As a result, most logs are split in 2 or 3 seconds instead of more than 13 seconds with a hydraulic splitter.

Instead of jamming the block up against the splitter head, try leaving about an inch or two gap to let the block build up momentum. I've found it doesn't stress the machine so much. If the block is moving when it hits the splitter, then it is using its own weight as well to help it carry on through. The way it is being used here means the machine has to start splitting the block from a standing start which requires more power. After all, it's about kinetic energy isn't it?
He's jamming it up to keep it in place because he's gotta take both hands off to operate the stupid safety interlock.
@@oscarmuffin4322 That safety lock has to go!
Nice splitter, but WAY overpriced! Considering that it has far fewer moving parts and a lot fewer components than a hydraulic splitter, it's ridiculous that it costs 3 times as much!
Like many manufactured products ... I'll bet HALF the MSLP is for liability coverage :(
If i were the owner of this setup i would lower the scoop of the conveyor and have wood just slid off the end of the table into it...
I like it
So many inefficiencies here ... MOVE the conveyer (modify if needed) so the logs just fall into it ... if you're going to trow the logs ..why have the conveyer? ... move the (round log) wood pile right beside the splinter .... why have it 3 or 4 steps away?
First thing I'd do is pin that ridiculous two handed safety BS. I want to be able to hold a log in place while I split it. But I certainly understand liability.
Not a bad machine, only needs a larger axe and a way to dump the wood straight on the conveyor.
very short firewood
Let the splitter make it's full stroke .. you stop early every other log and have to force the log in half with brute force .. SO SLOW!
WOULD BE NICE IF THESE SPLITTER MANUFACTURERES WOULD MAKE THE WEDGES TALL ENOUGH THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME TRYING TO PULL THE PIECES APART BY HAND. JUST TOO CHEAP TO AD ONLY A FEW INCHES TO MAKE THEM SPLIT AS NEEDED.. ALSO...2 HAND OPERATION MAKES IT DIFFICULT
I have a similar splitter from a different manufacturer. A taller wedge would indeed be good for easier to split wood, but might also be too hard to use for harder species of wood. Unlike the hydraulic splitters, the kinetic splitters rely more on "just right" design then brute force. To each his own. I had the $, and didn't want to use a splitter that has a long cycle time. The best TH-cam channel to better understand some of the arguments for and against the kinetic splitters is Ohio Wood Burner Ltd.
The thing I dislike about this splitter, It Is Two Handed...Big Fail for me.
they are probly forced by law to sell them like that, id just bolt it down
It's a safety feature which I personally think is a good thing... It's way too easy to get your fingers stuck between the log and mechanism on a fast moving machine like this. I do understand the perspective you're coming from though - it can be inconvenient if you have awkward logs that need a hand to stay put.
@@storminnormanz no law as Super Splitt does not require 2 hands, at least not on videos I have seen.
I'm just waiting for him to slam his fingertips between the wedge and the piece of wood because he has to jam it into the wedge before the split to keep it from moving. Lawyer designed, lawyer approved.
Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows you don’t place your hand between the wedge and round. Apparently you fall into the category of having no common sense. A skilled and seasoned operator knows to keep the hand on top of the round when positioning it.
@@lawnman1734 Are you talking to me? Because if you are, I've got some words for you...
Watch the video, and the re-read my post above then it might make sense to you...
$2999 On sale price, typical is $3,699. I may just buy a new axe.
Amen to that
how come the actual splitter part cant be taller looks like the big pieces need it..
I've seen this same machine with taller splitting wedge on it ...
But how much now?
Is this the model number 581738 you’re running? Thanks!
looks like the woods kls
What keeps the gears from grinding before they fully engage on each stroke?
Just the speed of the operators movement. It takes a little to get the feel for it but it is not difficult.
there are rack and pinion ,very large teeth and they just drop in ,timing
would this splitter work with a 4 or even a 6 way wedge?
No, there is not enough stored energy in the flywheels to perform a 4 or 6 way split.
Hi Mark, Apologies for delayed response. This splitter features a 6" wedge. Thanks
Oregon Products that's not what he asked ... he wanted to know if it can be supplied with a wedge that will allow it to split logs FOUR WAYS at once ...
I'd say no... Not only because of a lack of sufficient kinetic energy, but also because on a horizontal splitter design you'd be jamming logs between the blade and the table all the time.
I tried finding this on your website and was unable to. Do you have a link you can provide?
I believe you can order it directly from this page: www.woodsplitterdirect.com/p/oregon-commercial-kinetic-log-splitter-581738/
Hi @jwbarker81 Apologies for the late reply, but we also have the Kinetic available on our website here: oregonsplitters.com/product/commercial-kinetic-log-splitter/
Tell us more about the conveyor, instead!
This Splitter works great!
But....$2999 On sale price, typical is $3,699
Fuc*ing expensive
If anybody is interested, i have multiple videos up of my kinetic super split. Check me out if you get the chance, thanks!
I know of a wood ministry which provides free firewood to the truly needy who depend on wood for heat, I'm SURE they could use such a machine.
Are you still hinting for a free splitter Mark? How many woodsplitter videos have you left this message on now? I'm guessing at least ten.
So buy one for them.
@@banzai166 Huh?
Like a treaphy 😂

All the extra motion....wow. Not really worth it. I have a 4 way on my hydraulic splitter and the output is easily over a cord an hour.
