Ok, just discovered your channel, this is not a diy channel this is an engineering channel at it's finest. Don't change anything your channel is going to take off, just keep doing you at one video a month to keep the quality high, all the best from sunny Sydney Australia.
Absolutely 100/100 video quality and editing! A lot of those shots take a lot of thought, multiple cameras and angles and preparation! A class videos …please keep them coming! Love Canada
I don't know why this channel hasn't blown up yet. Always interesting builds. Nice craftmanship and thought in each project. I like the montage music at the end of the video, kind of a shout out to Andrew Camarata.
Incredible build. I have seen many home made machines built. Everything you do is so advanced and efficiently done. Great job! Keep it up and you will gain a massive audience!
Very nice build.Your design ability is far advanced from mine but I’ll add a suggestion. If the teeth on the arm that prevents the log from sliding backwards were more aggressive it might solve one slight problem I see
Like many here this was my first time on your channel. Your build is outstanding and your comments, demonstration, and improvements are great. I’m sure you will make additional improvements so please keep us updated. It would be awesome to know the details on the major components you used, controller, hydraulic motor, valve blocks, cylinders and anything more you Would care to add. This would help others create their own. A thought I have for my build is to include spring loaded paws, that help advance the log and retract when the table moves back.
Have watched other more recent videos with this machine and I would have guessed it was commercially produced with how well put together it was. Now I know more why you are not afraid to modify it to your needs, such as the ramps on the back of the sled or the teeth on the clamp
Very nice build. That white stuff on the ground looks really cold. With the log length thingy that you added you could now put a simple non return "valve" for the wood under the clamp. Some simple spring loaded spikes that the wood would push past in 1 direction but would get caught on when the splitter push plate is retracting would make for simpler control. Very skilled and with a nice workshop too. Subbed as I suspect you'll do other cool projects that I'd like.
Couldn't agree more. The design is pretty good, but a springloaded clamp holding the log would speed up things by a lot. Similarly, I'd probably program the table to return to the "home" (cutting) position whenever the "extend table" button isn't pressed. With those two changes, I think this machine could be a very fast firewood processor. Also: It would be really cool if you could make use of it being attached to a skid steer, instead of just using it as a power source. Something like being able to pick up a log (or multiple) by moving the machine, and then processing them. If your power source is mobile and carries your machine, I'd say make use of it!
This is the second video of yours that i have watched, Your comment "I wanted one but could not afford it, so I built myself one", made me sub. Never stop dreaming!
This was the first video of yours that I have seen. I really enjoyed it. I will definitely go back and start watching some of your older videos too. I have one suggestion that might help gripping the log. Right near where you toothed bar comes down, you could weld a few "fish scales" on the bed that would effectively work like a cross country ski. It would help grip the log in one direction and allow it to slide in the other direction. Great job on the processor! And the video!
That's pretty sweet. I think you could add an adjustable stop for the log when the splitting ram goes forward. It would stop the log from going any further forward as the ram continues to slide underneath it. Then you put the toothed arm down, just like you're doing, and the log will always be the exact length set by the stop. :) and then I finished watching the video...
@52:30 I like your design the way that the log tray retracts partially away from the end-stop because that small gap helps to keep the saw from binding.
You could add as box with a plus cut in it to push the logs a bit past the end of the plus blades. Maybe even 4 bolts to push the 4 parts past the cutting blade, around 1 to 2 inches or 30 to 60 mm past the front edge of the blades. Good luck, Lee
Well done, sir. I see a method to protect the hydraulic lines underneath it is needed. Setting it down and traveling without it raised enough will damage the lines.
This is an engineering channel. This splitter could easily be manufactured just about as is with a couple of mods you make later on and compete with any out there. I don't know if you have made the first splitter that works with a skid steer or not but this is amazing. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Houston.
Great job on building the saw and splitter. The only thing I see in this video your table moves up and Dow I would put a trac support to keep the table down while moving it . Be safe and god bless you
Thats quite an impressive thing you have managed to create and to get it to work productively. Conisidering you've got a few longer logs there is it beneficial to create an extended feeder rail of some kind, maybe something that can be detatchable so you only need it on when needed? I had thought if you had left your log grabber loosely holding it as it was fed in it might help but that may work out more of a hindrance. Either way, great videos and you're clearly a man of great ideas and ways to make them work out.
Would you be willing to share the info about the remote controls including how you wired it all up? I'm getting ready to build a firewood processor and the Idea of remote control seems like a great plan.
Unfortunately, I don't have a wiring diagram to show. But the basics are; the control activates a relay which in turn activates the solenoid for the selected hydraulic function, so it's not particularly advanced.
I’m new to your channel. Wow I love this stuff. This processor is an amazing build. I look forward to checking out all your past content. (Seth from North Carolina)
very good ...maybe the hold down arm should be 2 toothed rollers / wheels which only rotate forward i.e. clockwise . Also spring loaded down pressure to allow for log size in addition to hydraulic down pressure . Wheels center line as close as possible just behind saw ....
The problem with overhanging tree trunks and being carried backwards through the table could be solved with conveyor belt rollers. The tree trunk can roll over it.
If you made the toothed gripping plate with a top hinge, you wouldn't have to lift it to allow the log to slide though because the tooth gripper plate would just rotate sideways when the log advances.
Amazing well done👍. if you could please put on the your channel a rough wiring/electrical diagram circuit of the machine. I would be very great full. thanks.
The reason I didn't weld it on was because I was thinking of hooking it up with some kind of log table in the future. I also built a hydraulic unit so I wouldn't have to use the skid steer, never tried it though.
Good job 😊😊 only thing I would try different is maybe more aggressive teeth on clamp and maybe try to stiffen it as it flexes quite a bit when clamping and that may cause stress fatigue in the clamp arm Once you got the hang of it it ran fairly smooth
Hej, fantastiskt bygge, jag använder en del enkla plc:s som inte kräver att man är programmerare för liknande grejer. Jag bistår gärna med tips och idéer för att ta dina byggen till "next level" mvh Anders. Än en gång, sjukt häftiga byggen! Du är mycket duktig!
hi, nice machine. what kind of relays did you use in the machine. could you post a picture of the electrical box or make a video of the electrical part of the machine.
Impressive split and retract speed. It looks great. I am in the market for a Halverson HWP-150 or a used Hahn HFP-160. You ever decide on making and selling?
Hello Björn Impressive construction and very ingeniously simple. I will try to build one to use With my loader, Volvo L35. Have some questions about the hydraulics, partly which valves you use for the hydraulics but also which radio/remote control system you chose. it feels robust.
Hi! I used a danfoss pvg 32 hydraulic pack, as I had one lying around. But basically there are 3 directional valves, one for each function. And when no function is used, the oil just flows back around freely to the machine. For radio control I used teleradio g2. Good luck with the build
@@M.BJOERNSTROEM Hej, Tack för svar, har några frågor till ;) Har funderat på sågsvärdets infästning och smörjning. Din ser väldigt enkel och funktionell ut. Har du gjort den själv eller finns den att köpa från nån leverantör. Har googlat på det men inte funnit nåt lämpligt. I kommentarsflödet nämns att din motor är en f11-10 men att du så här efteråt skulle ha gått på en F11-5 istället för att som jag förstår det få upp varvtalet med tillgängligt oljeflöde. Med tanke på tillgängligt flöde i min maskin så är nog 5 kubikaren lämpligast. Vet inte exakt men kanske kan hamna runt 10 000 rpm. Dock stökigt att hitta drivhjul till den med 18 mm med kilspår. Drivhjul finns i uppsjö men för 22,5 eller 25 mm axel Försökt hitta nån bussning men det verkar svårt. Har du nåt tips, eller är det att tillverka egen som gäller? Förregling av sågfunktionen när klyvfunktion går och vise versa antar jag är elektriskt dvs. elstyrningen förreglar riktventilerna, eller styr ändlägesbrytarna magnetventiler i hydraulsystemet som förreglar de olika funktionerna?
Hello Has now solved the problem with the adapter for the saw motor. How did you solve the attachment/bracket for the saw bar with lubrication and tension for the chain. I have envisioned a Hultdins S01/S02 for pressure lubrication parallel to the sword cylinder activation, but the sword attachment/bracket remains to be solved. //Håkan
Riktigt imponerande bygge! Såg en nyare video där du använde den (med baggage transporteraren) och tog för givet att du hade köpt den, varningsskyltarna hjälpte definitivt att sälja in det som en köpt maskin 😄
That's brilliant dude, love your work Wouldn't work in Australia as our trees don't grow like match sticks Jealous of your workshop, keep it up mate. Ps what's that white stuff on the ground ? 😁
Not sure on what kind of steel used, did use a lot of scrap pieces i found. The cylinder act on the hydraulic flow given to it, and the machine gives more than enought. A tip to get a cylinder to move faster if not having enough flow is to use a "regenerative valve".
Hej går igenom dina filmer en gång till man lär sig alltid något när man tittar , herre gud så fina björkar de blir fin ved låter så gutt när dom klyvs . Johan
Veldig bra jobba:) Hva bruker du på trykkplaten til vedkløyver,på siden? Den svarte klossen som sklir påsiden av h bjelken? Hvor får jeg kjøpt dette,bruker stål selv men ser h-bjelken blir slitt.
Can you please share all the parts required to make the hydraulic chain saw part. I dearly want to have a chain that I can use while sitting in my Takeuchi. My arms are too sore to do the cutting with a manual chainsaw.
Hi, thanks. The saw motor I use is a parker F11 - 10cc. I get around 11,000 rpm with my skid steer. Torque, maybe around 30Nm. If looking for an saw motor I would suggest the F11-05cc model instead. It has higher rpm at lower oil flow. These F11 series motors is often used in harvesters.
The pieces are kind of long to handle maybe? Need some V fins to keep the wood cut off to drop squarely in the splitter area. A better stationary splitter device with two horizontal fins to split large and smaller logs.

Maybe put one way turning rollers to the sledge, it would not stick the log to it when weight gives more friction.

The production models have a short verticle foot on the loading arms allowing the opperator to scoop up logs onto the loading table.
