@@InTheWoodyard oh you’re funny. I hope the Novocain doesn’t work 1/2 way through. Lol. Kidding I’m just kidding. My father doesn’t like needles so much that he has no Novocain. But he will when he gets stitches he figures they are gonna be stabbing him with a needle what’s a couple more jabs.
Greetings from New Zealand! Really enjoying your vids but jealous at the same time! We own a 10 acre block in the west of Auckland, NZ's largest city. Normally have more than enough windfall on the farm to keep me in fire wood and thought I was going to have enough for the next five years a few months ago. In early Feb we got hit by a Tropical Cyclone and I suspect but cannot prove, a small twister, judging by some of the damage. We lost around 50 trees, from saplings through to a couple of 40ft Black Wattles (Australian hardwood) a 55ft Kanuka (NZ Hardwood, similar to Ti Tree) and a 65ft+ Old Man Pine! I've started to clean them up, but in the process (unbeknown to me at the time) have torn the meniscus in my left knee and a rotator cuff in my shoulder. So cannot use the chainsaw or splitter and as the property is quite steep and clay, no way that I can gather the wood! Have had to buy some in - very frustrating!
That is a nice splitter. Now there is without a doubt two splitters that are great without costing$20k+. But only one less than 12+ month waiting list. Thank you Brute Force for making a nice machine.
@@InTheWoodyard Trust me I know. It is good to see another quality piece of workmanship in the same price range is the Ultra. I know there may be other splitters to compare to these two, but I have not seen them. Everything else it way higher or can be found at HD or Lowe's. That is a massive jump up or down compared to Ultra and Semi-Pro.
I continue to be impressed with Tyler's splitter. What a great unit. I also notice how nice it is to have a big young man with a strong back to pick up large rounds and throw em up on the splitter.
A nice score removing the trees for a farmer and getting the wood. I've gotten wood by asking when I see it laying in someone's roadside yard from the highway dept. cutting trees. Often, the owner tells me someone else wanted it but never showed up. When given permission I return promptly. I tell them when I'll be back for it and I'm there when expected.
I do like that brute-force splitter and that lift comes in handy. Andrew (Easton made) posted a video yesterday with what could well be an option for your next splitter. I think it was the 24D, cycle time just over 3 seconds, Almost half a cord in about 3:20 with two people hauling ass keeping it fed and busy.
Enjoying the live on location videos Chris! Great to see the Brute Force working there! Nice piles of wood there the last few days. Definitely a nice area there! See you tomorrow! Andrew from NB :)
I really enjoy watching you and your friend split. I appreciate seeing guys stack multiple pieces at a time. You just smile a little when you see some one else that's actually run a splitter before
Chris got a 15.8 lobster today , a lobster claw got over 50 ton per S/ I ( inch ) . You or Tyler be good in woodyard for split kindling with the lobster. Keep him cool and feed him herring or macharel probably be half the price off gas . Plus organic firewood sale for more on today market place ! 😊
I don’t know the # , I see a 2 big put on scale were 128 lbs . I catch 1 in way out side in a crab trap I estimated to over the 50 mark . I didn’t put it on the scale just let it go because lobster was close and we own catch snow crabs . The biggest I catch was 25.9 lbs that went we allow to catch Atlantic salmon off shore in nets . Got catch into the nets . A lot off big lobsters can’t get into a lobster traps Chris .
Hey Chris , that is a nice splitter . That phenolic on the base plate will last a very long time . That is the same material that is used to make aircraft pulleys . Great video !!
Nice video guys. Really impressive splitter and looked like it handled the Locust very well, nice looking wood. The Cherry seemed to be kind of stringy and not straight grain, but as you know "the fire doesn't care". GNI
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 You guys made really good production. That was some of the stingiest cherry I've seen. I'm sure it was because of growing on the fence row. Take care my friend!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al
Check it out boys and girls see a BRUTE FORCE is the same as 500i stihl on gas , logger said need carry a gas station behind a 500i in the big timber. Carry on boys and girls . 😊
Nice work gents! Lots to do today including cutting hay, but time to head outside and at try to get at least a face cord cut and split. Ya know the old saying, a cord a day keeps the blues away.
I have said it before...You two work very well together! The splits seem to be fuzzier and not as smooth of splits as I see with your Ultra. It has to be something with the wedge design. Thanks for the videos,Fellers!👍💪
Irene’s husbands here!!!, he’s not too happy about you workin here to the bone!!….then again after seein the cherry ya split he was askin her if she could get him a cord, last thing I saw was her chuckin a round at him goin “Here’s yer Cherry mister!!!”…..
Nice. A few things I’m not fussy on with that splitter. But as you get use to it, it would be fine. But, for me, I’d rather the ultra. Have a great day.
Well done lads that was some work but you got it done nicely 😁 it is a nice splitting machine but for 14000 New Zealand dollars plus freight from the states probably another three grand it's a lot out of my price range so I'm afraid it's the old hand splitter and the old slow neighbors Massey Fergurson mounted hydrolic splitter for me😅 GNI 🥝🙋
@@samskeeter1 🤦ah good ol' GST yup actually forgot about that little gem we have to deal with so yeah add another bunch for that and you're probably pretty close to twenty grand😬 Go New Zealand 😬🥝🇳🇿 yay!!!
Very nice video. Just a few thoughts. Pop Up Tent. Checked. The levers. You have to reach over the first lever to get to the one you use alk the time. Can the hydrsulic lines be flipped so the first lever operates the ram. The levers have wiggle room to shorten. Could they be shortened and rethreaded so your deltoid is not taking a pounding. Or reconfigure the pipe with a few nipples and 90s to lower the handle. Also, a kiddie pool for the pup to cool off in during the hot spells. i have them at my place. I retrofitted two shut off valves to drain the pool. I connect a garden hose and use the pool water for the flowers. I love your escspe from the city, the splitter and how both of you knocked out a lot of wood. Great job. Thank you for taking us along.
The splitter can be operated from both sides so switching the lever would only work if we only used one side all the time. Firewood is just a lot of work no matter how it is done. But I like it!
Nice. After two days of watching ya split I can say I like it! I would like to see the levers a little lower as well. Nice piles of splits fellas 👊🏻GNI
Thank you Chris, seriously looking at buying one of these. I'm 2 hours north of Brute force and and thinking the same thing as Tyler was on why he bought this one.... would love to see a comparison video with this and the Ultra!
is the 4 way supposed to drop down to the beam so it "disappears" ? my boss's splitter has a tall ass wedge like that and it's kind of aggravating, and doesn't seem be particularly helpful except for double stacking. I'd mod that log lift handle to be more out of the way, bend it down some or something.
Here in PA, Locust is considered the be best firewood! Second only to Osage Orange, aka Monkey Ball tree. Locust burns like coal. What say you? Shalom/gw
I put up one yesterday. Got it for 70 dollars at Farm and Fleet. I had two 85 year old ash trees that shaded the house and garage from sun up to sun down. Now my pop up is a new variety of ash tree. I looked around and thought about how much money I would feel comfortable spending if I got one year of service. If I use it seven months, taking the cloth off for storms, that is ten dollars a month. When the fabric rips, I will use the remains as a pattern and use the tarp stuff that goes on garbage dumpsters to make a new one. Last year I bought an expensive one. it held up good in the rain. we had a surprise snow rain mix. The fabric was beyond salvage. The frame is still good.
Fence line trees are usually full of limbs so the splits are not like straight grained clear logs are. So yes there is some tearing and shearing of the rounds.
Good morning all!
Hello!
It’s nice to see people helping each other out. Especially in today’s environment.
I figure the time to help someone is when THEY need help, not when it is good for me. One hand does wash the other!
Good Morning all have very good day ty Ron
You too Ron!
Looks like that 4 way needs to come up. Making a lot of kindling on the bottom.
Maybe so but it all burns.
Good morning
Hello Mr. Otherchris!
You can now come visit us in the S’more wood yard.
Maybe so, is tomorrow good for you. Oops, sorry I have a dentist appointment, maybe latter!

Thank you very much!
The ware plate compound was heavily used in automotive for heat shields back when carburetors were used..
It is called phenalic I think, gasket material???
Now that was "Team Work" !!!!
Yup, firewood is done best as a team activity.
Good Morning Woodhounds!!((((---;
Hello!!!
I was at my mom's doing yard work yesterday she's got some massive cherry trees in her woods if I ever have to cut them down I'll give the wood Chris.
That sounds great, I like cherry!

Nice video guys. Really impressive splitter and looked like it handled the Locust very well, nice looking wood. The Cherry seemed to be kind of stringy and not straight grain, but as you know "the fire doesn't care". GNI
Yup, the cherry was tree line wood and had lots of branches.
Thank you Chris. There arent many videos of this splitter. Im glad i ordered one. And cant wait to use it.
You will enjoy it, I sure did running it!
Good morning Chris!!😀😀
You guys made really good production.
That was some of the stingiest cherry I've seen. I'm sure it was because of growing on the fence row.
Take care my friend!!😀😀💚💚
Logger Al
Yup, it was fence row trees so it was real knotty and stringy for cherry. Still great wood though!
Nothing like a good friend to help you split your wood.
Yup, team work is great!
Adter babysitting my daughter's teething 1 yr. old for 3 days I am very ready to get back to my woodyard!!!
Yup, I would be too!
Good advertisement for blue and orange
??? It looks red and black to me???
It’s a very fast ram and really adds up at the end of a day 😊😊😊
Yes it does.
Great video!! Lots of cherry!! Nice splitter!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks! You too!
🤘Nice work and nice splitter
Thanks!
You boys are killing it.🕊
It was another good day!
another good segment Chris. really good breakdown of the splitter. if i was to invest in a newer one, it definitely would have a lift capability.
Yup, I think if we would turn it upside down you could lift the earth with it!!!!
Nice job! Cherry is my favorite wood to split. I save the scrap/chunks for smoking pork butts - tastes great. Have a great day, guys!
I prefer my butt unsmoked. 🤣
Yup, I like it a lot too!
Check it out boys and girls see a BRUTE FORCE is the same as 500i stihl on gas , logger said need carry a gas station behind a 500i in the big timber. Carry on boys and girls . 😊
Yup, more power requires more gas!
like the voice over keep going with that
I will try! Thanks!
Nice work gents! Lots to do today including cutting hay, but time to head outside and at try to get at least a face cord cut and split. Ya know the old saying, a cord a day keeps the blues away.

Awesome Splitter😄
Yup, it is that!
Locust! My favorite!
Good choice!
Looking good!
Thanks!
Great teamwork Chris, definitely need two guys splitting and feeding.
Yes you do!
I have said it before...You two work very well together! The splits seem to be fuzzier and not as smooth of splits as I see with your Ultra. It has to be something with the wedge design. Thanks for the videos,Fellers!👍💪
The cherry was very knotty so it did have to cut the wood more.
G’morning Dudes. She splits Eh ? Looks nice ! I also love the cradle action Fer da logs to lay. Good show. Sweet tee shirt.
GoodNightIrene
Morning! Thanks other dude!
Machine works very well and so do you too😊
Yes, thank you Robert!
I like that splitter , might be the best in class ! You guys made it look good also .
Thanks 👍
Yap ...no nite wood there...
Looks like the new splitter is working out well.
Yup, it is a nice one!
I have wood envy!
Yup, nice place there!
Awesome 👍👌
Thanks 🤗
Great job guys! I noticed that there's a pretty good rattle at times, it sounds like a guard or something needs to be tightened up. ❤️📹👍🤔😃🐶
Yup, it was a loose pin on the wedge, we fixed it latter, no biggie.

Yes it sure is!
Nice. A few things I’m not fussy on with that splitter. But as you get use to it, it would be fine. But, for me, I’d rather the ultra.
Have a great day.
The more I ran it the more I liked it!
They make hydraulic restrictors which would slow down that log lift. Normally used for tractors but I'd think they'd work for log splitters too.
It already has one. It’s under Christ’s right elbow beside the control valve. It’s the little knob thingy.
Yup, we turned it down a bit already!
Yup, it has one, we did turn it down a bit.
Great video. Just wondering if one more hole up on the four way would have been helpful? Thanks for sharing 👍
Maybe so, we will play around with it some more and test it at different heights next time.
Groovy Baby 10-4
Thanks!!
Morning Cris, that’s a nice machine very quick on the return. What what is the rattling noise?
It was a loose pin on the wedge, we fixed it later.
Nice consistency on the splits, not a lover of box wedge splitters and the processors there is a lot of resplitting that happens afterwards.
Yup.
Nice splitting, warm day, and stacking😊
Saw the dog, but the kittens are cuter😊
Thank you very much!
Real nice splitter how close does the pusher come to the wedge? My box store it like 3 inches witch doesn’t work with stringy wood. Great work guys.
Not sure. But my guess is almost touching. My Eastonmade Ultra just touches the wedge.
How about starting a "log launch" event in Wisconsin ?? Wolfe Ridge has the same over power issue on the log lift.
That would be fun BUT, it could damage equipment or people???
Well done lads that was some work but you got it done nicely 😁 it is a nice splitting machine but for 14000 New Zealand dollars plus freight from the states probably another three grand it's a lot out of my price range so I'm afraid it's the old hand splitter and the old slow neighbors Massey Fergurson mounted hydrolic splitter for me😅 GNI 🥝🙋

@@InTheWoodyard sad yet true. Stuff in new Zealand is expensive 😬 Teach one of Bert's cats to shred wood like a splitter and send it over will ya😆

Just a few thoughts.
Pop Up Tent. Checked.
The levers. You have to reach over the first lever to get to the one you use alk the time. Can the hydrsulic lines be flipped so the first lever operates the ram.
The levers have wiggle room to shorten. Could they be shortened and rethreaded so your deltoid is not taking a pounding. Or reconfigure the pipe with a few nipples and 90s to lower the handle.

Maybe so???

Thanks!
👍👍
Thanks!

THANKSSS!!!
Does the log lift lever get in the way when running the ram lever? Looks like they should be switched around? Otherwise great looking splitter !
Nope, no problem.
Thank you Chris, seriously looking at buying one of these. I'm 2 hours north of Brute force and and thinking the same thing as Tyler was on why he bought this one.... would love to see a comparison video with this and the Ultra!
Some real nice wood. The smell of the cherry wood must be nice.
Yup, cherry is awesome!
Question, should we also use non ethenol fuel in our splitters like we use in our saws?
YES!!!!! No corn in any small engines. Talk to any small engine power shop mechanic.
Time for Tyler to get the big boy fishing gear (skidding winch on a tractor) and yard out all of those dead standing trees in his forest.
They do have a tractor to use!
is the 4 way supposed to drop down to the beam so it "disappears" ?
my boss's splitter has a tall ass wedge like that and it's kind of aggravating, and doesn't seem be particularly helpful except for double stacking.
I'd mod that log lift handle to be more out of the way, bend it down some or something.
It is just below the cradle so small rounds do just get shaved by the wings.
To me the cross cutters are too low. They cut the bottom section too small leaving the upper section too big.
They can be adjusted, this was the first time we used it.
Andrew, if you watch this feel free to put a prototype log lift on my Ultra before it gets here lol
Ha!!! The ultra is to light for one I think.
Here in PA, Locust is considered the be best firewood! Second only to Osage Orange, aka Monkey Ball tree. Locust burns like coal. What say you? Shalom/gw
Fact.....
Yup, it is great firewood! Better than almost all other wood.
yup!
Did Tyler spring for gum?
No, much better, his grandma made us lunch! Best lunch I had in a long time!!!
Is there a wood yard standard in e z up shelters, are some better than others,
Any one that works better or lasts longer ?
Not sure, wind is the only worry, they like to fly!
I put up one yesterday. Got it for 70 dollars at Farm and Fleet. I had two 85 year old ash trees that shaded the house and garage from sun up to sun down.
Now my pop up is a new variety of ash tree.
I looked around and thought about how much money I would feel comfortable spending if I got one year of service.
If I use it seven months, taking the cloth off for storms, that is ten dollars a month.
When the fabric rips, I will use the remains as a pattern and use the tarp stuff that goes on garbage dumpsters to make a new one.
Last year I bought an expensive one. it held up good in the rain. we had a surprise snow rain mix. The fabric was beyond salvage. The frame is still good.
12:34 😅😊
okay?
How’s the elbow feel today?
Much better!
Is that splitter is good as your Eastman
Yes, just a little different design ans features, but every bit as good.
So many crumbs!
Yup, making firewood with a multi wedge will do that.
Is this commercial log splitter
Yup, I would say so.
@@InTheWoodyard hey
Any Eastonmade 22MB videos on the horizon? Just sayin……
Should be coming soon.
Yup, in a couple days!
The wood looks more torn than split to me.
Fence line trees are usually full of limbs so the splits are not like straight grained clear logs are. So yes there is some tearing and shearing of the rounds.
Lot of nice cherry 🍒
Yes it is!
Looks like 👍 you and Tyler had a great day together and I,also saw a supervisor at the job site ❤😊😮🪵🪵🪵🪵
