That guy's modifications to his splitter rig are awesome. This is what America is all about - come up with a new product that improves the way people do things, and reap the reward. Great stuff.
That bucking platform is cool. He needs to pattent that and sell it. One cool upgrade would be a conveyor to bring all the cut rounds to one end next to the splitter.
Cool idea and I like the way he set it up right by the controls. 2 plus people set up for sure. Love thinking of new ways to try to make it work better.
That is a pretty smart idea. I love it! Cheers to that! I would forego the log lift and have it set so you only have to turn 90 degrees to grab the rounds off the table. Great invention!
Love the bucking platform to no end. Thats a lower back saver at its best. My splitters have always been vertical stand up type where you then sit on a large log and roll all your cut rounds over to the splitting wedge. With a horizontal splitter it seems you are always bending over to lift another log up.
You could always make yours function the same way and tilt the table with the tractor on the way to getting the next log to buck. I almost always put my rounds in the back of a large truck and put the splitter right up next to the truck. Then you are just rolling the rounds onto the splitter without lifting.
@@PDeker I agree. You can see at 8:17 of the video how big and deep the trash pile is. If that all came from that block pile that's beside them, that is crazy. Way too much wasted wood, and wasted energy producing wasted wood.
Dan, thats 1 slick setup, you could use Electric over Hydraulic setup on your splitter to operate, you would have a button that send 12 volts to a diverter solenoid, that is connected to log lift hydraulics. Good video🚜🪵👍🏼
He sure has a nice setup! Even a stationary bucking platform would be very useful for anyone that owns a tractor or skidsteer and can lift the logs onto it.
I just bought my 1st home use splitter. Seeing that box splitter makes me jealous! I have split 3 cords of 7 I bought. If I had that box & bucking table, I would be done by now
Looks good. I have watched and would turn the bucking table 90 degrees and after the logs are bucked and loaded onto the red table could also be lifted to roll the rounds to the splitter. Good luck and protect your back.
I built a bucking table about twice as wide as ricks. I’d buck on one side and then walk around to the other and use the next load of logs to put the bucked logs to the next stage. Problem I see is that when he puts a log down there isn’t anything from preventing the log from rolling to the finished side. That was my problem too. I’d be going along and then a log would roll off. Also a lot of up and down the tractor. Have to do it for every couple logs! So I am going to do in the woodyards method and just cut in the pile.
After 40 years of "making firewood", I've found the fastest non processor method is to cut a bunch of logs in open area on ground & use loader to load & fill dump trailer then back up as close to splitter as possible. Use pickaroon to grab what's practical from back of trailer then use dump to move pile closer. 6" tailgate helps from logs rolling off. Splitting A heaped 12' dump trailer with sides is a good workout. Also you're not starting/stoping loader with a bunch of short trips.. splitting into conveyor let's you focus on splitting unless you can split right into woodshed & stack with little or no walking..
Good idea. Good writing quality. Thank you for sharing. It certainly got my attention. It may be a better plan than the cutting platform. One man operation. Less investment. No waiting for the other person. Works with remote log location. May cause a trailer shortage.
@@jakebredthauer5100 Yes, a few times I've been overly optimistic in what I could split before needing the trailer for "real work" & have had to dump a partial load back at the cutting area... Because it wasn't loaded or unloaded by hand, it's not a big time loss..
You could use your tractor forks to lift the platform that has the rounds on it cause ur already going to be on the tractor to get another log just a easy lift up 6 inches like u said in the video doesn’t take much an the roll down to the staging platform to split !!! Just food for thought have a good one
Pretty cool setup. The only thing I can think of to make it better would be to have a conveyor to roll the rounds onto instead of the flat platform. Still a great idea. Thanks for the vid.
That thing was really cool! I never thought of having an extra port on the log splitter but man you could come up with all kinds of things to run on an aux unit like a hydraulic saw or a chipper...Pretty cool!
Love the bucking table. Cutting logs down at ground level can be tiring- esp if they're small. This also eliminates a lot of pinching, and ground/bar contact. And, of course, eliminates the need to pick the rounds up off the ground altogether! Just need some sort of loader to put the logs up there. If it were me, I'd include some sort of provision for clamping short sections/small diameter pieces. Drives me crazy, when the saw flings the workpiece around! (or pulls it tight against the dogs, making it hard to push that end of the bar down so it can cut...) I handsplit only, so I'll often rip down the gnarly pieces that refuse to split right. Holding the damn things still while they're being cut can be an issue. Did you notice if the box wedge was making more kindling and trash than your four-way? It sure seemed to.
@@jakebredthauer5100 Keep in mind I am a tree service. Which means not only have I already gotten paid to get this wood, I also get about 40x more volume per year than I could ever possibly process. The slash is not a concern in the slightest. I went with a machine that could process the typically large diameter trees that are common in yards, but also process them quickly. For those buying log loads of wood, I understand the waste concern. It's just not my situation.
@@RickF1558 An inefficiency I noticed was the person loading the splitter. I would think one could load up the full width of the splitter with multiple pieces such as two small logs or a large log and the last piece from an earlier log or a stack of last pieces. Just looking at it, I like the Posch brand "vario" splitter (Austrian). The knife comes in from the side and splits repeatedly as the wood passes through the machine. It makes squares whatever size you set it for. Have you seen it? I would say that it would be more for the full-time operator. Ohio Wood Burner showed a box wedge guy in Florida recently who said he needs to sharpen it often to make it work well. I suppose some designs of box wedges work better than others. Because the box-wedge uses less force, everything such as the engine, pump, cylinder and frame can be made smaller. I would say that you made a good choice. People will be freezing for wood and not be so picky. All of the leftover and excess is valuable as mulch and fertilizer. If you had a stockpile of dry logs, that would be exactly what someone would need to start a firewood business. Load them up on a semi-trailer and ship them out.
Well now that’s using your head! Great idea! Pretty slick using the hydraulics on the splitter!! Shifty give this man one of your WClaws. He deserves it🤣👍🏻👍🏻
That’s a real slick splitter,my old homemade one had a single axe but mounted on the cylinder shaft so the wood that had to be split more than once wasn’t pushed away,I had a long conveyor made out of two bale elevators that I just dropped the splits into,your splitter is so much more efficient but there wasn’t much to choose from 40+ years ago.
If he opens up the boxed-in end of the table he can put the whole setup perpendicular to the splitter opposite the side with the log lift. Then you can slide the rounds right onto the splitter with a hookaroon. Don’t pick up those rounds if you don’t have to!👍
Also... the lift is ok. A conveyor would have been better to buy/build and pile the split wood much higher, without you having to fling every chunk of wood. Just saying...
That is a nice setup. Can you tell me how tall the bucking platform is? From 1st observation, I thought it might be a little tall. Then again, I am not standing in front of it.
I agree it would be less back strain to have the slide onto the splitting pad rather than lift them. Production would increase also. Adding extra ports to hydro is not hard.
The near end could be lower than the far end, making the rings move more easily. The basic idea of having the platform causes the tractor to do the heavy lifting. I would like to know how the wood slats were fastened to the metal so the fasteners would not come in contact with the saw chain. Soft fasteners of aluminum, wood, plastic or glue would work maybe.
That was definitely the cats pajamas hahahaha!! I could definitely use that bucking platform and that splitter in my woodyard!! A 2 man operation could do some major production in a days work!! Stay safe my friend 🍺😎🔥💪
Chris, the funniest thought hit me. I could see you and Ken fabricate something like this up for your yard. Mobility would be the issue for your yard though. Greased Owl Dung 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing Dan. Love the concept of the staging table but I'm with you on removing the mechanical equation for the need of hydraulics, to reduce the cost. Would be nice to see some kind of Cam/fulcrum point setup on a foot pedal to do the lifting and aid in rolling the logs. Keep up the great work 👍👍
By rotating the bucking platform 90° to the splitter and making the end of the table nearest the splitter a little lower, you could have gravity help take all the rounds down toward a stop so that each round arrives at the same pick up point every time. Could even be helped along by re-siting or adjusting the table ram to help this conveyancing of the rounds to the same eventual pick-up point. Just an idea!
That's a slick setup! I think there is a bucking platform similar to that one on wolfe ridges website, minus the hydraulic operation of moving the rounds over. 👍👍 looks good Dan!
OK we're on the same page. My idea is to make a cutting bench that is chain fed with the rounds dropping on a 8' merry go round to feed the splitter. Fast splitters require lots of rounds. My partner bought a old hay elevator to pile, even though it jambs occasionally its really nice to use. Seems dumb to cut and drop rounds on the ground just to pick them up again. Thanks for posting, completely new path to think about.
Very close to the idea that I have. I think mine will be a little more efficient. I made up a rough sketch and gave it to Chris at Wolfe Ridge. Even if he doesn't do anything with it. I plan on Building it once I get my wood yard moved to Northern MN. See you at the Frenzy.
That's a niffty set up. I agree turning platform perpendicular to to splitter. A rubber belt on flat metal deck. Powered by by a seperate hydraulic power supply off an old small splitter.
I told Chris Wolf a couple years ago the same thing. Either a table or something like a manure spreader with a apron chain to take the back out of splitting firewood
We don't have any good hardwoods here, but What happens with all the scrap? I shovel that kind of stuff into my outside wood furnace. As long as it's kept dry, it's perfectly fine.
Nice idea to help increase production and decrease back strain. I love seeing people use their ingenuity, making something to adapt to their needs. I also liked that human grab-and-toss conveyor belt you have their. Is he patented? 😂
Love the table idea. You could do away with hydraulics on the table. After bucking You could just lift the hinged cutting section of the table with your forks or grapple to roll the cut rounds over to the staging section before going to get more logs.
Thanks! And thanks for the feedback, absolutely could tip the table up with forks...that'd be a good option if you didn't have hydraulic hookups to connect to.
I've been wondering why someone hasn't started using a splitting blade like you are showing. The nice thing about the idea is that all the wood will be of equal size firewood and you won't have to keep manhandling one piece of wood numerous times.
Good watch. Good editing. speeded things up, so you could show more trees being felled. Liked the Tree Pusher demo. Never liked nylon rope for tree felling, I like wire rope, at least 3/8" or better. Thanks for video, which was good length to watch.
You’d want the bucking table legs closest to the conveyer/chute to pivot on a pin mounted to an in ground post or pier so that every time you lowered it back down, it would rest in the same spot. A inch higher than the chute/conveyer, the rounds couldn’t back up.
I see a log platform set up to buck on that has a roller conveyer (manual) chute instead of the steel platform that feeds the rounds straight into the splitter. We also move rounds around by truck and would like to back that up to the other end of the roller conveyer to feed the splitter straight out of the truck. Really like the bucking station but don’t want to lift rounds over that railing so I will situate the splitter at the end of the chute so I don’t have to lift anything but split wood.
That guy's modifications to his splitter rig are awesome. This is what America is all about - come up with a new product that improves the way people do things, and reap the reward. Great stuff.
Maybe it could be marketed or maybe people would just build their own.
That bucking platform is cool. He needs to pattent that and sell it. One cool upgrade would be a conveyor to bring all the cut rounds to one end next to the splitter.
I don’t think it needs a conveyor,but if it had a longer extension with a slight gravity feed to the log lift would work wonders!
That is pure genius. A slick operation.
Cool idea and I like the way he set it up right by the controls. 2 plus people set up for sure. Love thinking of new ways to try to make it work better.
That is a pretty smart idea. I love it! Cheers to that! I would forego the log lift and have it set so you only have to turn 90 degrees to grab the rounds off the table. Great invention!
That hooked up to the axis vertical splitter is the answer.
With set up have the staging deck be a conveyor to bring the wood to you.
@@philsanchez3007 Andrew Easton says the vertical splitter is one-third as fast as the horizontal splitter per unit of volume of wood.
It is probably noisy for the splitter operator either way with the chain saw so close.
Just when I think you have done everything you can in firewood processing😲 you cease to amaze me. Thanks again for Interesting content.

💥 That is a nice idea to have a bucking platform at waist height. Great idea!!
*Keep on tractoring!*
That contraption is slick! Love to see someone solving a problem like that.
Always enjoy seeing a woodyard that's well organized and well run.
That is pretty slick. It definitely has the wheels turning. I call it the Slick Rick.
You could always make yours function the same way and tilt the table with the tractor on the way to getting the next log to buck.

Rick has one slick setup with that box wedge, and that bucking platform! Loved the Amish/Mennonite horse and buggy going by in the video!
That's pretty neat will save a lot of time and work
Man that’s awesome hook the splitter up to a conveyor and that would be unstoppable with the box wedge
That thing he invented is awesome.
That’s a game changer. Needs some work but it’s sweet.
Great idea.
I absolutely love to watch box wedge machines work. To me it's an incredible product.
Yes definitely is, but it seems like it produces so much more waste. No?

This is brilliant!
Finally!!!!!!!!! Some one finally built it!
Pretty nice setup! Love seeing that homemade ingenuity!
You could make the same thing with out hydraulics having a rocker point in the middle of the bucking table.
Or, the same machine that loads the logs tips the table.
That box wedge and bucking platform is awesome. Rick ought to get a patten on his bucking station!! Lol Dan you have a great day
That was cool 👍
Looks good. I have watched and would turn the bucking table 90 degrees and after the logs are bucked and loaded onto the red table could also be lifted to roll the rounds to the splitter.

Great idea, if you could incorporate a conveyor where the log tray is located. Delivering the rounds to the splitter!!

Good watch. Good editing. speeded things up, so you could show more trees being felled. Liked the Tree Pusher demo. Never liked nylon rope for tree felling, I like wire rope, at least 3/8" or better. Thanks for video, which was good length to watch.
Love that platform
That bucking table is way cool.
You could use your tractor to lift the bucking table to roll the rounds off. Would be the simplest thing to start with.
Bingo!

I loved it !....It gave me some ideas , mine will be a bit simpler and no hydraulics...but I think his is great !

That WR machine is a beast. Awesome video
That's a good idea I need to build one
To save lifting bucked logs from table. Put the bucking table on the other side of splitter and roll the bucked logs onto (a conveyor or the splitter)
VERY COOL.
Needs a conveyor to complete the set up. Really nice job boys.
I see a log platform set up to buck on that has a roller conveyer (manual) chute instead of the steel platform that feeds the rounds straight into the splitter. We also move rounds around by truck and would like to back that up to the other end of the roller conveyer to feed the splitter straight out of the truck. Really like the bucking station but don’t want to lift rounds over that railing so I will situate the splitter at the end of the chute so I don’t have to lift anything but split wood.
Log onto platform, cut it, tip it, log 2 onto platform, cut it ready.
That is one heck of a splitter. Enjoyed the video B40.
Purchase approved !!!!
Nice setup..
Looks like a great idea
