Split Force 13/20T - How Fast To Split A Face Cord Of Firewood?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- In today's project, we’re putting the Split Force 13/20T on the clock to see how fast it can make a face cord of Oak firewood. We’ll drive it to the log pile. Set up the bag rack. Hang a firewood bag. Then get to work. We’ll time it from start to finish, and when we’re done, put the bag away with the Kioti NX tractor.

Damn 20 mins for that much wood wowsers! If I didn't live in Savannah GA where we dont need firewood for anything short of cooking some pork I would invest in something like this.
That’s an awesome splitter. It has one serious flaw, that awful screeching noise. I know you modified it to help minimize that, but for a piece of equipment like that the noise level is ridiculous. But I do think that’s one of the best splitters available right now. Nice content too.
Appreciate the kind words. Agreed, the screeching is pretty hard to deal with. I had it licked for a while, and it's only just recently returned. Will delve into finding the solution in an upcoming video. Thanks so much for watching!
Put talc powder on the belt
20 mins for a 1/3 cord is great for 1 person operation, I have ruggedmade 737 and it's about 30 mins for 1/3 cord by myself,
But when my coworker decides to help we can do 16 minute face cords. Awesome that a stacker is included, that's truly a time saver for sure
Imagine how fast if you had a buddy loading rounds, and helping with the 1st off splits, , and another babysitting the bag, you guys would do2 cord an hr I bet
I like the way you think! Have a video planned in my head with 3 people, set up just the way you mentioned. Getting the help lined up seems to be the hard part these days. Really appreciate you watching!
@@FoxfireProjects pay by the cord, not the hr
That's a great idea. Will have to give that a shot!
For hardwood and the small peices he’s getting he’s making good time. Twice as fast as I do fir and pine by hand
@KwahuTheGadite yeahi can do a cord easy in an hr with an axe, but I slow down after that lol
wow 3 of those make a cord wish I was buying from you
That’s a perfect set up ⬆️ have mates that cut wood as a side income but they have just saws and a basic splitter 👍
Appreciate the kind words. Your friends setup sounds exactly like what I started with. Thanks for watching!
yeah buddy, aint nothing like having a bunch of fancy new machines
Beautiful machine. Sounds like something needs some greese. Merry Christmas!!! Subbed
Hopefully it’s as easy as grease. Merry Christmas! Thanks so much for watching!
Looks good man. That gave me some ideas. Thank you.
Appreciate the kind words. Thanks so much for watching!
That machine is amazing. Whoever thought this up was pretty smart. Love all the camera angles to show its efficiency.
Thanks for the compliments! It sure is a time and back saver. Really appreciate you watching!
Otročina😢, ale stroj je ok.
Those machines are made in Vietnam, right?
@@newtech68 No, Canadian made.
Are the bags reusable? That's a nice setup.
Nice machine
Thank you! Appreciate you watching!
Still waiting to find out what a face cord is ! As a business here in tx you can only sell cords and half cords , some people sell ricks which is a 1/4 , but what is a face cord .
A face cord is a third of a full cord. 16” splits, 4’ tall by 8’ wide if racked. A rick, is another name for a face cord, and is not quarter of a cord, but a third. Thanks for watching!
Yes
I don't know why i watched this video but i did
Great vid! I like the bag holder you made. Do you happen to have drawings for it? I've been using a forklift to hold the bags, but this would be much easier.
Appreciate your kind words. Don’t have any drawings for it. Glad to get you a few measurements though. Anything you’re looking for specifically? Thanks for watching!
@@FoxfireProjects, if you wouldn't mind let me know what the inside width and length and the height of the hooks are I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
@@wireedm1 No problem. Will measure tomorrow and send your way.
@@wireedm1 Hooks are 75” off the ground. Inside width is 48”. Inside length is 60”. Hope this helps!
@@FoxfireProjects. thanks!
That must be fireplace wood , my outside furnace needs about twice as long and twice as big.
You're correct, take a bit more time. When splitting outdoor boiler wood, can nearly cut this time in half. Appreciate you watching!
I like the bag better than stacking. Any difference in drying time?
They actually dry wood really well. Especially if you cover the tops of them. Makes for easy storage and delivery. Thanks so much for watching!
@@FoxfireProjects
Have you noticed any problem drying that square wood your splitter produces compared to the triangular wood that other people's splitters produce? I am thinking it may possibly stack itself together too tightly or maybe it it is loose enough to get enough air.
What is a face cord? The only legal definitions for trade in my area for a cord is 4’x4’x8’ , 128 cu. Ft.
A face cord is simply a third of a full cord (stack of 16" splits, 4'x8'). Thanks for watching!
NICE!!! prob $$$
Nice machine. Splitting to small for myn liking though. This must be for camp fire
Appreciate it. This wood is cooking wood for a local restaurant. They prefer smaller size. Thanks for watching!
Nice machine, how much do they cost?
I paid just under $20k USD for mine. However that was a few years ago now, right at the start of the pandemic with all of the supply chain issues etc. I'm sure like everything else they've increased. Thanks for watching!
Nice!! Where did u buy? And for how much? Ty
I purchased through Empire Attachments. Paid around $21k usd but that was just before the pandemic, so I’m sure like everything else prices have gone up. Thanks for watching!
How’s the working height feel to you?
It is just a bit low for my height (6'). I've found that scratching a bit of a depression in the ground, or putting a couple small splits under the rear tires adjusts the height to my perfect level. Appreciate you watching!
What is the metal banging noise every 3 - 6 secs?
The conveyor chain as it drops off the return chute. A bit annoying after a full day of splitting, but the good far outweighs the bad. Thanks for watching!
Rember a cord of wood is 4×4×8 !!
Correct. I’m filling face cord bags, which are a third of a full cord. Always explicitly clear about this in all of my content. Thanks for watching!
Can you tell me how much your Split Force 13/20T cost?
I gave around $19k usd. However that was right at the beginning of the pandemic before all the supply chains and cost increases. I’m sure like everything else they’ve gone up. Thanks for watching!
By face cord i guess you mean either "rick" or "half cord"
A face cord is a third of a full cord. Rick is also used to describe that, depending on what area you're from. Thanks for watching!
what about a foot safety
Not sure I follow. Do you mean for the machine or for the operators feet? I wear heavy work boots whenever using this machine. Thanks for watching!
The foot pedal placement seems inconvenient
I’d never buy wood cut that small
You would if you were a restaurant feeding a pizza oven (which this order is for). Thanks for watching!
what is a face cord
1/3 of a cord. Thanks for watching!
why so small though
We supply a lot of restaurants with cooking wood. This was for a local pizza oven. Small splits allow quick and easy heat regulation. Appreciate you watching!
too slow
You are asking a question only a carpenter can answer, l am a ships captain, we have no wood on board.
Squeeeeeeeeaaaaak!!!
Other than that a nice video.
Definitely have to find the new squeak and address it! Appreciate you watching through the noise!
If I had that machine I would go into the firewood business in a split second and could pay for itself in the first season. Self Propelled, fully self contained, easy to store in a building when not in use to protect it from weather wear and the only thing it doesn't do for you is cut and buck the wood and deliver it !
I've wondered how long it would take some smart people to come up with one exactly like this and from what I have seen here they hit this out of the park !
My only problem now is how and where to buy one and if I can get the coin together to pay for it...if I could convince a bank to do a small business loan it honestly would pay for itself in no time, especially in an area like where we live that has soooooo many people who heat with wood.
It's a fantastic machine. I imported mine through Empire Attachments. Contact Mat, msavard@empireattachments.com He can help you with pricing. Appreciate the kind words. Thanks so much for watching!
Fantastic splitter and work. I've done this work for 40yrs for my own woodpile too and I was still kinda sad when you said you were speeding the video up. Timber splitting is therapy. Keep up the good work.
Really appreciate the kind words! It really is great to get in the wood pile and put your mind on cruise control. Thanks for watching!
From the time I was 18 years old to now 60 years old, I see that these machines are still the same without much change and their uses are limited because of too long time.
Nice thing about the split force and the bag system is the fact that it cuts the amount of times you have to physically handle the wood. Good vid.
Agreed! It works pretty well for us. When the wood is finished, we move it inside out of the elements. Always appreciate your comments and you watching!
Nate, that looks like a very generous face cord. I think wood sellers around here (MA) would call that a half cord! Very cool setup with that bag, looks like it has some advantages over IBC totes. Are they reusable?
Appreciate the kind words. We always make sure the customer is getting the amount advertised, or more. They are reusable, we've got several bags floating around the yard that have made over a dozen trips and still going strong. Thanks so much for watching!
There is something about cutting and working firewood that we men love 😊
We cut 18-22" length, 6-8in thick. Our wood burning outdoor boiler is approx 48in depth. Saves time in processing wood and filling burner when it's stooopid cold. Sweet machine and great video!
Love it! Have a few customers with boilers, if it fits through the door they burn it haha. Appreciate the kind words, and you watching!
DO you find that the work table height needs to be a little higher? How tall are you and how tall is it? I'm looking to convert a splitter to a table top and table height is something i'm not sure of yet. Thank you
He is 6 feet tall.
See a similar question below.
It could stand to be a few inches higher ideally. After many solid hours of splitting, my lower back is pretty tight. If I was building from scratch like you, I would definitely put it where it was most comfortable. I'm away from the wood lot for a few days for Christmas, but can get you exact measurements when I return. Appreciate you watching!
Two Mexicans 1 cord per hour, total pay for the two Mexicans was 36 dollars. Cord of tamarack 350$
Yeah and that's a cartel cord, 36heads
Hello. This may be a silly question, but I would like to clarify it for myself. What are you wearing over your pants, what is this "cape"? What is the correct name for it? P.s. Excuse my English.
Not a silly question at all. These are chainsaw chaps, that protect from cuts when operating a chainsaw. I had cut the wood into rounds just before filming, and since it was a cold day, I kept them on while splitting. Thanks so much for watching!
Probably been asked 100 times before, but how much does a machine like that cost?
Paid right around $19k USD for mine. That was back before the pandemic and supply chain/shipping issues. I'm sure like everything else, it's gone up now. Thanks so much for watching!
Sounds like your plastic has worn down or is it something else I hear squeaking?
Definitely have a squeak to address. It’s a recent issue. All of the UHMW plastic is in good shape, so have to do some investigating. Will have that in a future video. Thanks so much for watching!
@@FoxfireProjects
I noticed it too.
Hard to ignore.
Another thing everyone needs to consider is the amount your gunna do in an hour will depend on how big you split the wood. If your splitting your firewood for mainley wood stoves for people who like bigger pieces you could probably do closer to 4 an hour and boiler wood I would guess 5-6. Half as many split cycles will largely increase volume producing
Exactly! This was a pretty normal “firewood” size split for us (4-5” or so). This machine usually sees a lot of pizza oven firewood (2” or so) and takes quite a bit more time for a face cord of that size wood. Could run through boiler wood super fast! Thanks so much for watching!
@Foxfire Projects
What is a "face" cord? A cord is 3 rows of 16" wood. Split about 4 to 5 inch. 4 feet high by 8 feet long.
@@Michael-rg7mx it’s the face row of a cord or 1/3 of a cord if the wood is cut at 16” one row of wood 8’x4’
Nice looking wood splits. What is the price tag on this machine. If you don’t mind saying?
@@Michael-rg7mx A "face cord" is 1/3rd of a full cord: One 8' row of 16" long splits, stacked 4' high
Very loud conveyor
Now add the cost of the Gym membership to the profit. and its a winner. leg day tomorrow!
Hahaha exactly! Thanks so much for watching!
bonsoir tu peux meux donne le site ou tu a achete ta split force stp merci🥰
www.souduremolloy.com est le manufacturier à Montréal. J'ai acheté et importé aux États-Unis via Empire Attachments. Merci beaucoup d'avoir regardé !
Was that oak delivered to you or did you go fell a tree and haul it home ?
Purchased these logs earlier this summer. In years past, we had great luck scrounging and bringing in our own logs. The recent building boom has gobbled up all the timber, and we are forced to buy loads to keep them from the lumber mills. One of the reasons we have had to raise firewood prices. Thanks so much for watching!
@@FoxfireProjects
There was a building boom.
Lumber prices are about as low
as they can possibly go.
Very great machine 👍👍👍
Thanks so much for the kind words. Appreciate you watching!
That is custom cut, Grade-A firewood, not some mangled mess spewed out of huge commercial processor that pushes twisted, broken, split trash and everything else though it as fast as mechanically possible. The single wedge perfection is in a league of its own. The camera angle from above shows how perfect they are. Each piece is minutely adjusted for the perfect size. A majority of your customers probably just look at this as a general load of firewood, but some will understand what they're getting. Whatever you're charging John (think you name is John), they're getting a killer deal.
Thank you for the kind words. I'm Nate by the way. This is exactly what I'm hoping to help folks understand through my videos. There are definitely different levels of firewood. We try to cater to all, but focus our efforts mainly on the higher end markets. Really appreciate you watching!
Lol yeah I was admiring that split too
That’s a pretty nice machine first I’ve seen one like that
Are you from the states ? Try to get the name of it again
Appreciate the kind words. I am in the states, North Carolina, on the east coast. Split Force is the brand. It's a great machine, and suits my needs perfectly. Thanks so much for watching!
I remember when my dad bought a log splitter I laughed and said what is that!I bet him i could split faster with an ax and I won.ISplitting wood will make you a man real quick then you get older ohhh i need a log splitter.😂😥😢
This might be old news to you, but to save more time, you dont need to go the entire length of the log., just a few inches into the round, then back up to split another. By the time the partially split round gets knocked around enough in your conveyor, it will finish splitting itself. It all adds up to time/cost/fuel as you know. Also, for safety, we practice trying to handle the rounds without using our fingertips on the round. That way if your fingers ever contacted the wedge, you can have some time to pull your hand out before the fingers get chopped off. I say this as a man who has processed thousands of cords of orchard wood using conventional hydraulic splitters. Be safe
Appreciate the kind words. The wood I’m splitting in this video is White Oak. Terribly stringy all the way through. Wedge to the bottom is the only way. Just doesn’t pop like Ash or Maple, even when below freezing. Couldn’t agree more about keeping fingers out of harms way. Old habits die hard. Thanks for watching!
@@FoxfireProjects No worries, brother...That is a nice setup and "the fingertip rule" especially applies to a multifunctional splitter that distracts the initial task at hand, as you can relate. Have a good one!
hi there good splitting , well done john
Thanks for watching John. Always good hearing from you!
No such thing as a "face cord" of wood. It is simply, a cord of wood or it is not. A cord of wood is 4 feet wide, 4 feet high, by 8 feet in length, or 128 cubic feet in all.
Excellent video. I’ve been fascinated by the foot pedal operation for the hydraulic cylinder. Is there any chance you could do a video that shows how they all works?
My custom built splitter uses a normal autocycle valve and 90% of the time it doesn’t need to use the full stroke. I’d love to see how the foot pedal setup works.
Thanks so much. Will definitely get some footage of how the foot pedal setup works in a future video. Appreciate you watching!
Change that oil !!!!! (Richard Petty)
No, really. Put some lube will ya.
Must be really quick with maple or anything other than stringy oak where you keep having to do the full cycle instead of just a little bump. I wonder if a wedge with a more aggressive shoulder would bust up that quercus a little sooner.
As well a person could weld a bracket and pushrod to actuate the ram with a belt high/hip pad if enough travel could be achieved. Thus humping the wood to pieces and save on calf leg strain. Prob easier on lower back
It's a dream with Maple or Ash, especially when cold out. The pieces practically jump in the conveyor on their own. Thanks so much for watching!
Boring. Pity you didn't speec it up much earlier. Fast forward most of that.
when is see a splitting video from america, as an australian i just laugh a bit at how easy that shit splits. the wood down here you need to engage the ram and get behind a something solid cause that would is so tight it nearly explodes
Nice! I hadn’t sent the splitforce before. Where do you get the bags? Did you make the frame?
It's a great machine. We get the bags from NNZ.com. The frame is homemade, with a little trial and error. Works well for us. Appreciate you watching!
Hydraulics to slow, my processor uses heavy flywheels and ring n pinion gear.
-------------------------- thanks4sharing.. .. if you could swap single wedge for four way....
Amazing machine but I think you need to hit the grease points on your conveyor.
Как не крути, а спотеть придётся! Но гораздо легче, чем колуном махать!
You have a very nice wood splitter set up. Thanks for the video.
Appreciate the kind words. Thanks so much for watching!
Do you wish splitter table was a little higher. You seem hunched over a little. How tall are you. I love the concept but looks like it was built for shorter folks. Foot petal travel seems excessive. I tried an eastonmade axis foot petal only needed to move maybe 2 inches.
The table could stand to be a few inches higher. I’m 6’, and after several hours I do feel it in my lower back. Had I known this when I ordered, I’m sure the manufacturer could’ve built to my specs. The foot pedal travel is all adjustable, I actually prefer the step on step off method. When some of the other guys run it, they prefer the stationary heel. Appreciate you watching!
I spoke with split force they wouldn't build it with a higher table. Also seem like foot petal is a little too far under the table. If you ran it up on blocks could foot petal be adjusted down? Interesting you like the step on and off instead of rocking heal. Great set up just afraid ergonomics are a tweak off. I'm 6' 2" with a gimpy hip currently running eastonmade 12-22 but no elevator.
@@markhowes126 Well that’s a bummer. I thought for sure that table height would be a simple adjustment during fabrication, especially if a deposit was made on the unit. I believe there is enough slack in the linkage to lower to the floor if on blocks. Will give it a shot in some future videos, as it’s the number one comment on these videos. May be a game changer, I’ve just never really noticed an issue. The foot pedal could easily be extended if desired, as it’s just basic square tubing. Thanks again for watching!
My concern with extending foot petal out from under table is then it must move further up and down for the same action to happen. Thanks so much for taking time to answer my questions.
@Mark Howes thank you for the info. If Splitforce won't make the table high, that's a deal breaker for me also. I am 6 ft, and I see Fox Fire is bent over . I forgot that...
Could you give a tutorial on the machine itself.
Check out some of my older videos. I go over the controls/operations and address some concerns. Thanks so much for watching!
Rig could do with some oil and grease. All that squeaking.
I like that machine! I'd do something to make the foot pedal a little more ergonomic though, there's a lot of motion for each stroke.
Appreciate the kind words, she's a beast. Foot pedal isn't as bad as it looks, has a lot of adjustments. Thanks so much for watching!
Curious as to where you live and where you buy your logs? How happy are you with the machine? Thanks
I'm in North Carolina USA. My day job is in residential land development, so I have quite a few contacts with folks clearing trees. Also have good relationships with a few local tree companies. Some I scrounge for free, others I have to pay for. This past year has been especially tough with the building boom, as it's pushed timber prices so high, that we were competing with the mills for logs. Things seem to be correcting now, hopefully they will stay that way for next year.
All in all I'm happy with the machine. Worked out a few hiccups with it early, as with any new equipment. Hope to get a lot more hours on it this coming year, and will be bringing TH-cam along. If there's something specific you'd like to see just let me know. Thanks for watching!
@@FoxfireProjects thanks for your reply.
To slow , get a super splitter. He'll of alot faster with oak
Exploring the Split Force 13/20T's capability in splitting a face cord of firewood showcases the machine's impressive speed and efficiency, setting a new standard in firewood processing.
How much would a setup like that cost around if you don’t mind me asking. Same splitter and conveyor? Thank you in advance and very nice video
I paid around $20k usd for this setup. That was pre-covid, and prices have risen a bit since then. It works really well for my small operation. Appreciate you watching!
I don't know what you sell your wood for, but in this part of Canada, I pay $660 for two full cords of dried hard-wood delivered. So if you do a solid 8 hrs = 8 full cords = $2,640 worth of split wood a day. Then, if you deliver it, that is time taken away from production, so hopefully your customers are within a 30 minute drive. Say, 20 miles. You could do maybe 6 deliveries in a day = $3,960 /day. At 240 miles for 6 deliveries, and a 4 x 4 pick-up pulling a 2 cord self dumping trailer at maybe 10 mpg = 3/4 of a 139 liter tank = 27.5 gallons x $US$3.59/gal = about $100 in gas = 2 gallons for the splitter or US$110 for fuel = $3,960 - $110 x 2 times a week = $3,850 x 2 = $7,700 a week. Do that for 10 weeks a year and you 're good to go @ $77,000. If you are incorporated = 11% tax (in Canada). If sole proprietorship, hopefully you've got a bunch of write-offs and 20.5% Federal tax. Yeah, not bad money.
I bet that thing was invented by an old guy with a bad back.
Can the Conveyor speed be adjusted to go faster? And can you get a 4 way wedge for that splitter ?
Yes conveyor speed can be adjusted. Was set on 3 in this video, goes up to 10. I believe you can get a 4 way, but the manufacturer doesn’t recommend. Appreciate you watching!
The splitting end of the cylinder is not supported as it is with a normal horizontal splitter. It is less able to withstand sideways stresses. Am I right or wrong?
@@FoxfireProjects
Am I right or wrong?
@@jakebredthauer5100 Correct. A 4 way wedge could put more side to side stress on the cylinder, causing issues. We tried 4 way wedges on the Powersplit and ended up removing them. Wasn’t a real time saver and the ability to precisely split suffered. Thanks for watching!
A waste of saw bolts but they do look like they have been laying around for a couple of years with the sap wood rot. White oak way to valuable to use for firewood. Tops, less than 8 inches and waste product is fine, but not saw bolts.
White oak grows like weeds here. Between that and red oak, there's not much better for firewood. Appreciate you watching!
It could easily be made more efficient: add 4 or 5 finger blades to the conveyor belt side of the main blade, add wall to hinder wood from dropping down to the place you were standing when operating, make blade movement continuous, and concentrate to fill new logs to be splitted. Maybe need a pusher arm to push logs certain amount forward when the blade is in upper position.
Over elaborate piece of machinery, that only splits one-way. Could do the same for a fraction of the size and cost.
You and I have very different opinions of elaborate. Check out some other splitters and processors on the market these days. The Split Force is pretty simple, and I'm ok with that. Appreciate you watching!
Ya ever take that thing off any sweet jumps?
Those blue pallets are Bonsal pallets
If the company sees you using those,
it could be trouble
Just say'n
Appreciate the heads up for sure. That being said I’d gladly load a truck if they’d send one. Have hundreds on my yard from deliveries over the years. Tried many times to send them back with no luck. Thanks for watching!
You are splitting straighten grain oak. How does your splitter work in k otted spruce or twisted birch.
Not much Spruce or Birch in my neck of the woods. I do go through a lot of knotty and crotch Oak and Hickory from tree services. No issues. The single knife makes it really easy to work around the problem spots. Appreciate you watching!
How much did the unit cost? The company doesn’t have pricing on the website
Around $19k usd. That was before the pandemic and shipping/supply chain issues. I’m sure like everything else these days it has gone up. Contact Mat at Empire Attachments for a quote; msavard@empireattachments.com Thanks so much for watching!
Oak takes forever to dry. I split them
Smaller as well. Great video.
Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate you watching!
Waste if energy, do some sport and use your arms.
What is the difference between a CORD of wood and a FACE CORD of wood ??
A face cord is 1/3 of a full cord. A full cord is 4’ tall X 4’ wide X 8’ long. Or 3 stacks of 16” splits 4’ wide X 8’ long. A face cord is one face of those 3 stacks. Thanks for watching!
Hope you don't leave that bag of wood along side of building rain will run off roof and into bag
We tarp the tops in 4 bag groups. Thanks for watching!
Can I also buy this machine in Germany? It's really very interesting
I am not sure if they export to Europe at this time. I imported mine into the US through Empire Attachments. Email msavard@empireattachments.com He can possibly help. Thanks for watching!
I need a 6 court wood machine and hour not this
Awesome video. I grabbed my hatchet right afterwards, feeling hella motivated!!
I didn't make it 20 minutes or a face chord!
So it looks like 7 rounds filled that bag, is that correct? Not too shabby
You got it, 7 rounds. Thanks so much for watching!
Hey love the videos! you called this a face cord but isn’t this a half a cord? Where I am from a full cord is 4x4x8 That bag looks to be 4x4x4 but then again it isn’t stacked neatly so maybe that’s why you are calling it less?
Appreciate the kind words, glad to have you watching! A face cord is simply a third of a full cord (16" splits, 4' tall x 8' wide). In our area, very few people heat with wood anymore. The majority of our customers are using for supplemental heating, or ambiance in a fire place, outside in a fire pit, or for cooking/smoking. They don't want a full cord of wood, so the third cord bags have really taken off. They are filled loosely, and when taken out of the bag and stacked, it hits just over a 4'x8' every time. Thanks so much for watching!
@@FoxfireProjects thanks for commenting back sorry for all the questions. so you can cut approximately 200 pieces in 20 minutes? Or 1 full cord in an hour?
@@waterboy5164 Never counted pieces. This is 1/3 of a full cord (face cord), which if racked is 4’ tall x 8’ wide, 16” long splits. Full cord would be about an hour. This is by myself, and changing out bags and pallets. Much faster if just piling and faster yet if I had help. Thanks again for watching!
How much does a set up like that cost? Ballpark?? Thanks
I've got just under $20k USD in my Split Force. I purchased before the pandemic and like everything else, I'm sure they have gone up these days. It's a great machine and has really leveled up my firewood game. Thanks for watching!
Why is everyone worried about how it takes to split a face cord of wood
Can’t speak for everyone, but I know in my operation, time is money. The quicker I can split a face cord, the more profit margin I have when I sell it. Thanks for watching!
Best Machine to lose fingers😂
And why is bundle wood split into such narrow pieces?
I sell to a lot of restaurants. This wood was for a pizza oven. They prefer small splits to be able to quickly regulate the heat when cooking. Thanks for watching!
love the ram speed
