I have a very bad feeling watching you split logs this fast using such a machine. Several times your hand or fingers were at the front of the log as it was being pushed onto the blade. The object of using a powerful machine such as this is not to see how many logs that you can split in 1 hour, but to do the job successfully without injuring yourself. I hope that I am not now addressing someone minus a few fingers on their left hand. I am looking at an accident just waiting to happen when I see this idiot operate this machine in this way.
If we'd have had one of these when I was a kid, my youth would have been a whole lot easier. We use to split wood with axes, wedges and sledgehammers. I use to climb trees that were 80 to 100 feet tall. I'd limb them on my way up, and cut them off in stove lengths on the way down. Learned how to sharpen chainsaw blades and knives from a very early age. Daddy didn't allow any of us kids to be slackers. I guess he figured he fed, clothed ya, and housed ya, so he was going to get his moneys worth. I see and hear kids now bellyaching and complaint about having to keep their room tidy and taking out the trash. That would have worked all of about two seconds with Dad. Dad was a tough old man but he was fair, never seen him ask anything from one of us kids that he couldn't do himself.
Tony Hill You're probably right, but I think it made me a better man in the long run. Learned about "an honest days work" from it. And as far as the "foster care" statement, the pack of kids that I ran with were "ALL" raised by a small community. Everyone knew every one, and you helped each other out. It didn't make "No Difference" as to whom they were or the color of their skin... If they needed help, you helped. And you weren't allowed to take money for it either. If you did and your Mom and Dad found out, you'd have to give the money back, plus get extra chores on top of it. We were fortunate enough to have a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, a bed to sleep in at night and "all the food you'd ever want to eat (either at your parents house, and friends house, or as payment for doing chores and helping out your neighbors)". It might have not been the "ideal" situation, but what we have today isn't as good either. But this is just the thoughts and ramblings of an old man, what the hell do I know.
YOUR THE MAN !!!!!!!! Nice to see someone that knows how to run a piece of equipment. FOR ALL YOU PEOPLE BEHIND YOUR DESK ! DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME....... YOUR NOT SMART ENOUGH.........
nice job and it's good to see someone who isn't sfraid to work and get the job done. I seen the replys about safety and watched your hand positions, the were always on top or to the side of the wood, never covering the end, I think good habits far outweigh weraing the "proper safty gear" and expecting it to make up for poor work habits. Good job and sure makes my hyd splitter look slow ;-)
Actually this guy is being safe. I have one of these as well and the speed is actually an even working pace.....with lots of wood to split, the sooner and more quickly it's split, the more quickly it can properly season. I've used hydraulic splitters in the past and am not going back to them.
AWESOME MACHINE ! I HAVE 2 DR RAPID FIRE LOG SPLITTERS AND THEY ARE VERY SIMILAR MACHINES. WE ALSO PRESPLIT OUR LOGS WITH A SKID STEER SPLITTER INTO A IBC TOTE AND THEN REPLIT INTO SMALLER CHUNKS INTO ANOTHER IBC TOTE . WE THEN USE A SKID STEER WITH FORKS TO MOVE IBC TOTES . WE SELL BY THE WHEELBARROW . SO THIS IS THE BEST MOST EFFICIENT WAY WE HAVE FOUND SO FAR TO MAKE FIREWOOD. I WOOD LIKE TO HAVE A GRAPPLE SAW TO HELP WITH THE CUTTING OF ROUNDS . WE HAVE LOOKED AT THE FIREWOOD PROCESSORS BUT IT SEEMS YOU HAVE TO ORDER WOOD TO MAKE THEM WORK WITHOUT JAMMING . WE HAVE A TREE SERVICE AND THE RECLAIMED LOGS WE GWT ARE NOT ALWAYS PERFECT AND WOULD JAM-UP MOST PROCESSORS I HAVE SEEN SO FAR . THANKS FOR THE AWESOME VIDEO !
This in itself is a nice machine, BUT it would be far better safety-wise if it was a multi-splinter, thus no necessity to have one hand on the log as well as watching where the cut-off’s are going, to many chances for an accident. The other point is, most of the work is done before the machine is ever used, the bucking and quarter splits or more are all completed, as well as the stuff stacked ready to be further processed. Kinda have to think "Do I really need this fancy splinter when I could split as much" excluding the time taken for stacking, it is debatable whether this machine is actually of any use. IF the machine had a stacker on the end, for instance the square net bags and a pallet for stacking automatically then it would make all the difference! I think having worked on this for a day you would have your back telling you "I want a rest!"
The thing is, this is very straight-grained wood, and it looks like dawn redwood or some similar softwood I can split pieces this big, just as fast, with a maul. How does it do against tougher stuff like walnut? When I come up against a 24" piece of walnut or red oak, that's when I want a powered splitter.
Thats an awesome splitter. All these haters wanting you to split some sort of steel infused wood I just don't understand. Why? Why on earth would anyone want to split some sort of woodtanium when normal wood keeps you warm just fine and splits like a dream with this thing? Great video, bro.
hand on top of the wood = fine, hand on the end = finger gone. You should watch this yourself just to see how close your fingers are to that blade. Still want this machine though.
Amazing compact, super efficient piece of equipment with a super fast worker!!! But to see a huge tree or trees end up like that is so sad. We should leave more old trees around. No offence. Just thinking abt the climate change.
Did he alter this thing? The ram on my splitter will only move as long as you hold down the valve. Let go, and it stops. I thought that was a required safety feature.
Never was fond of a worm drive, bad shit can happen so damned fast with one, but if you are as proficient as yourself with one you can split a hell of a pile of wood in short order with one that's for sure! Thanks for your post!
I have one of these splitters, it's not the safest thing but requires thinking. It's safer than a chainsaw at any rate, and I assume that if you need a splitter you can safely run a chainsaw? In any event I've never felt like I had any close calls. With 2 people, one splitting and one stacking, you can really run through a woodpile.
NIce job. Supersplitters rock (i have one too). Now, ya gotta stack all that wood (that's the fun part! lol). Have fun with that and, as always, be careful.
Looks like a production man who knows what the hell he's doing and gettin it done. The Super Split is one helluva splitter. For all you folks out there whining about how he's running the machine or not..the closest you've probably ever come to a little wood is behind your zipper.
Have no clue why so many thumbs down. U run the splitter well. Fast precise and good hand placement. Can’t ask for much more. I got super split. Had it forever since 80s. Still use it today
I don't wish the OP any harm but he is free to blow dry his eyebrow in a full bath tub as far as I'm concerned. He's fast with his splitter for sure. I wish I had that Honda 3 wheeler at the end of the video. 3 wheelers went away at the wish of the people(that didn't ride) who thought they were unsafe. (Rolled Eyes) If everyone just had one ounce of personal responsibility.
+bobwatters Once in a while I'll do something simple but in the wrong order. (I remember being surprised at my mother for pushing washing-up detergent in a pan of peas instead of sugar when I was three years old! - same kind of thing.) I read somewhere that these are called 'stereotype mistakes'.... OK when making a cup of tea or boiling peas but not when chopping logs! By the way the peas and water turned to a solid green jelly which she dumped at the back of the house. 'Silly Mammy' I said. But we all get silly sometimes; including factory workers, drivers and pilots. I'm lucky that in my job my mistakes don't lead to injuries!
***** Zactly the kind of mistake we all make one in a while! Talking about a different kind of mistake: on my first day at my first job, the boss and deputy were trying to put me at ease by telling jokes which I laughed about politely. Third joke was a killer. Now it is a mistake to suppress a laugh by laughing down the nose (mouth shut) when you have a heavy cold. Result a snot shot out of my nose, self inflating as it exited.... and landed on the boss' shoe. It was so big that I could see the window frame reflected in its mucus surface. Eeek!
it will split the nastiest looking hardwood you can find and ten times faster than a hyd splitter. i didnt believe it till we got an old one and i used it for the first time .
I don't know where you got the opinion of redwood being hard. I used to live in Humboldt County in California. We burned redwood because it was free and plentiful. we usually split with an ax as fast as any hydraulic machine. it is soft, straight grained and burns hot because it has so much air space in the wood.
Must be nice I have to split my wood when its still green, see I live in teh middle of a city near teh Atlantic, if ya dont get it split and let it set it rots, so I gotta use a 22 ton Huskee instead of that one, I did look at it, was gonna get onem but they are too expensive for me
I work with one of these every Saturday, have split LOTS of wood. What we do is use a 37 ton vertical, hydraulic splitter to bring much larger things down to this size, THEN use the super splitter for a finishing splitter, MUCH more time efficient.
A lot of comments about speed and fingers being too close... I have one of these splitters. My left hand is always on the handle and my right hand is always on the middle of the log. Very fast. Very safe. I go about the same speed as this guy. It's an awesome splitter. Also, mine is electric (220v) and you would think it couldn't do stump wood or crotch sections, but it does just as easily as my old superslow hydraulic splitter.
I've been checking these out lately... which model (engine) is the one you are using? What type wood are you splitting? Does it EVER bog down (jamb) or have issues? Thanks!
At my work we have a log pile over 30-40 tons of heavy still to be split im so jealous cause atm were waiting for a new splitter and using a wood axe :P
Every tool has it's place. If you're stuck with large twisted wood all the time you're either unlucky or an idiot. If I run across really twisted and branch filled wood I used to cut it up with the saw or leave it in the woods. These days I slice them up and seal the ends for wood turning. I wouldn't need a machine bigger than this and I own acreage covered in oak. I hate waiting around for my slow splitter but it'll go through just about anything. Adding this to my arsenal would make life so much nicer!
Keep doing it like that and you can videotape your trip to the emergency room. Get a close up shot of your mangled fingers. I'll give that a thumbs up.
I owned the first generation super split over 20 years ago. Never had any safty issues but the rack would bend after a few hundred cord. Just saying!! Never found anything it would not split though.
Totally useless in my situation. Oak and other hardware logs are too heavy to be lifting up on a table,especially since they are 24-26 inches long. Also...when I drop a tree,the logs don't fall into a neat pile ready to be fed onto the table.
Just bought my own DR Rapidfire today and watched many vids about it! this guy is an absolute pro splitter but I couldn't help but think how dangerous it really is after watching his fingers so close to that slitter edge!!! PLEASE BE CAREFULL DUDE!!!
Many thanks for this upload, looks a great machine, the only comment I would have is the apron where the wood is 'stacked' ready to re-cut might benefit from being larger and maybe cutting logs into a bin? Take care mrbluenun
this would have been helpful when i had to split all of the wood in my grandmas yard. all i had was an ax, sledge hammer, and a wedge. that is a lot of work
Great job. I'm impressed at the quantity of wood put out in under ten minutes. It would take me 3 hours or so just to do what you did in five minutes. Gotta get one.
Great video, I have been researching these type of splitters and was wondering what model of Super Split did you buy and how long have you been using it. What kind of wear and tear have you seen on yours?
Safety goons crack me up. It's a machine if it scares you don't use one safety is as simple as paying attention to what your doing..
That usually what one says before they get into an accident....
VaporheadATC only when one gets complacent or fixated on the task at hand.
very true
Says the guy with 9 fingers.....
Nope! Got it reattached.
I have a very bad feeling watching you split logs this fast using such a machine. Several times your hand or fingers were at the front of the log as it was being pushed onto the blade.

I like to see it split some aussie box or iron bark... seasoned :-)
When it gets to the end that handle goes back i guess so it dosent stay clamped on your hand lol
Haha you have obviously used this machine a lot before! You have the rhythm of it down so well and you can go so fast!

I'm watching this and keep thinking at any moment your hand is going to get squashed.
i wanna see it split a doopy tree, then i'll be convinced, doopy tree's bout the hardest wood you'll come across
NIce job. Supersplitters rock (i have one too). Now, ya gotta stack all that wood (that's the fun part! lol). Have fun with that and, as always, be careful.

Redwood is one of the SOFTEST woods on the planet! You can split redwood with your bare hands!
looks great ! where can I find one and how much ?
Looks so easy ~ a 5ft girl like me could split my own cord of wood :)
Great! Speed and concentration. Be sure to practice both, buddy.
That's one BADASS little splitter!!
Why are you splitting redwood which is one of the softest woods around. Try that with a 20" oak log that is a 3 way trunk then I will be impressed.
Because thats the wood he has to split.
That wood looks like its easy to split have you tried on oh hard oak or hickory?
been watching a lot of splitters. so far this seems most efficient.
I don't wish the OP any harm but he is free to blow dry his eyebrow in a full bath tub as far as I'm concerned. He's fast with his splitter for sure.

Now try it with some rounds of Live Oak that aren't pre-split and I'll be a believer.
I split oak all the time and it splits it just fine.
will this splitter work with maple?
it will split the nastiest looking hardwood you can find and ten times faster than a hyd splitter. i didnt believe it till we got an old one and i used it for the first time
.
the mans showing you how fast it splits redwood. redwood is an extremely hard wood. what else could you possible ask for. it will split oak fine.
I don't know where you got the opinion of redwood being hard. I used to live in Humboldt County in California. We burned redwood because it was free and plentiful. we usually split with an ax as fast as any hydraulic machine. it is soft, straight grained and burns hot because it has so much air space in the wood.
You sped that up a tad, didnt you... Admit it :)
our trees in australia would bend it in a flash ,Its fine for straight grain but gumtrees would be a different story.
If anybody is interested I have a video with an older super split, splitting tougher stuff. Check it out!

It is a nice little machine, but i do believe he is compromising safety for speed.
AGREE...
Great job, just watch them fingers!
That is the best splitter I've ever seen. Smart design, no bending.
I actually just watched a man split wood for 8 minutes... I officially have no life.
I've been checking these out lately... which model (engine) is the one you are using?
What type wood are you splitting? Does it EVER bog down (jamb) or have issues? Thanks!
Soo easy, safe and fast.. amazing :)
i fear you might hurt yourself going that fast.

+Craig Arndt As ANY machine can.......
Just bought my own DR Rapidfire today and watched many vids about it! this guy is an absolute pro splitter but I couldn't help but think how dangerous it really is after watching his fingers so close to that slitter edge!!! PLEASE BE CAREFULL DUDE!!!
Often he lets his fingers get to close. He needs to reprogram himself to always/always use his palm to control the moving log. always
mary, go make me a sandwich, thanks!
Yep hes going to get hurt bad!!
Very good machine, great speed!!
This is so satisfying but half way through I'm paying close attention to his fingers getting squished between the log and stationary blade!
Great video - impressive speed. I saw that DR is making/selling these now. What did yours cost ?
Many thanks for this upload, looks a great machine, the only comment I would have is the apron where the wood is 'stacked' ready to re-cut might benefit from being larger and maybe cutting logs into a bin?
Take care
mrbluenun
Yes, I can see people having accidents with this kind of speed.
When I split wood, I think my time and I don't rush one bit.
he get into some good flows. Like his style
@Xittin most likely it is a man who uses this machine for a living, and knows the machine well, and operates quickly to maximize his profits.
Fast or slow, really bad left hand placement.
its so fast it blows your hair off your head lol jj - i have a super split - love it- it also has made my hair fall out..... nice vid
exactly, i will never use a wood splitter, it takes the fun out of doing work, an axe will always be better than a wood splitter
I own one with a 7hp honda motor. it does oak just fine unless its overly large rounds with knots
this would have been helpful when i had to split all of the wood in my grandmas yard. all i had was an ax, sledge hammer, and a wedge. that is a lot of work
i could do without that handle and just have it be automatic, yeah?
That'd be a great splitter for a 1-2 man wood lot. love to see how it does on some oak or elm tho...
I hope his boss has seen this ...He deserves a pay rise if he works like this all day.
it does well on dry knotless presplit to handleable size, let us know when he looses a finger
u make in 8 minute wood for 1 - 2 months heating? :D
Love this splitter, I live in Ireland,where can I get one of these, and how much do they cost,?
shanie leddy $3k supersplit.com
All fun and games until someone loses a few fingers.
I got some wood for that hing, we can drink a cup of coffee as it tries to split it!
That thing feeds on fingers and it's hunnnnnnngry!!
Prime wood. Probably not so good for the gnarly stuff.
I want a 10-hours version
I smell lost fingers.
Great job. I'm impressed at the quantity of wood put out in under ten minutes. It would take me 3 hours or so just to do what you did in five minutes. Gotta get one.
I like to see people work, watching it with a good glas off wine on my cough.
Da soll er mal 'ne schöne astige Eiche rauflegen......viel Spaß
wondering how it would work on a piece of hard wood same size of those
i wanna see what it does with big knotty wood
Something about the guys movements make me suspect this is sped up footage. The hand movements are not natural.
Goes too fast to be too safe. Take your time and keep your fingers!
@jfisk23 Is this wood wet or is it already seasoned?
Great video, I have been researching these type of splitters and was wondering what model of Super Split did you buy and how long have you been using it. What kind of wear and tear have you seen on yours?
