      Look into a handheld pneumatic bander that uses nylon or plastic bailing stock. Might be a good way to bundle your firewood up.

      I appreciate the suggestion
      With this type of splitter, I would like to get a bagger or build my own wrap station or something
      I have not researched them much yet, so I’ll check the kind you are talking about

      I think I know of a better log splitter you could get. Buy a used Multipress industrial hydraulic press. They're cheap used. Then modify it to cut wood. You'll need a power converter to get 3-phase power but it'll be more robust than the one in this video and it can be used for other things with minimal modification.

    That is by far the best design for most people. The only issue I have with what I see is the table height is too low. It needs to be raised up to help prevent your hands and arms from naturally being at the top of the round when the cylinder is moving. Me being 6’4”, that’s even a bigger concern. As I watch you split, your arms and hands are constantly in the most dangerous area, which is at the top of the wood being split. If the table is raised up to where your natural tendency is to grab the wood in the middle it would be much safer to use. Just my opinion and observation. Maybe that’s something that could be adjusted for when ordering one, but probably not. Definitely looks like a well made unit and simple. Congrats

      Yep and for a company with a couple decades of experience you'd think they'd know by now the optimum height because that platform is obviously too low IMO.

    • @earlzathome
      @earlzathome 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's a function of height and stability. If you go too high it becomes unstable because you're adding to the size of the log lift (so it still reaches the ground) They made mine 30" high instead of the stock 27" and I'm 6'....it's fine, not hunched over at all.

    It is a great splitter, I received mine this week. They'll even custom your table height for a few bucks which basically covers the materials to make the log lift a bit bigger. I went with the electric start too so I could run a small LED light and split if it gets dark...😁 It's not as robust as an Eastonmsde Axis, but it doesnt come with the price tag either.....and you can move it around by hand which is pretty much impossible wirh the Axis.

    I am an Industrial Engineer Consultant, still working at 88. My wood splitter is 50 years old. It has a 5 inch Cat cylinder with a HD rod and 3 foot stroke. I replaced the 12 hp Briggs with a Duromax with starter. The gear pump is hooked to a jack shaft with a 4;1 ratio. Hydraulic pumps do not word well over 1200 rpm unless supercharged. The wedge is at the far end and the platen is on the cylinder rod. This means the twist from the wood grain reacts to the frame and not the cylinder. Plus, it is self cleaning.
    I like your Power Split vertical concept. My experience is to use gravity. You should only have to lift the round once and everything else should be down hill. Having an input and out put table is a plus. It agrees with the many metal fabrication plants I have worked with.
    My position when splitting is sitting on a cushion and I can roll my rounds (up to 3 foot fir)into the jaws using my shoulders and knees instead of my back. Plus there is storage on input and output which reduces the amount of getting up and handling the wood.
    A big issue is SAFETY. You are dealing with a force and machine that can easily cut off a finger, arm, leg or a body in two without any warning. The vertical work is concentrated directly in front of the operator who positions the block and initiates the cutting without interference from helpers. The operation configuration is both safer and productive.
    I agree with your intuition that a smaller machine from a builder of large is better than the reverse. Probably why I believe; Get Smart , Get Trump, he has been dealing with world trade for years.

    My only negative I see with this splitter is the cost. As you said it's very simple in design and function. So my question is why over $9000.00 dollars for something that is very basic. I understand it's built beefy and strong but that can't justify that kind of cost in my opinion. Sorry for the negativity and I think it's a great splitter but I really think they could do better on the cost since I'm sure the markup is very high.

    • @marcellemay7721
      @marcellemay7721 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree on your observations.. I love the design and simplicity of it. The table should be taller off the ground, 30 to 32" sounds about right for the table height. You could probably make the height adjustable but that adds a lot of complexity unless you just raise the whole thing from the axle. I've been looking for a great design to build for myself and this one fits the bill nicely. I have a one man fabrication shop... I can definitely build this just from looking at the pictures. Your probably looking at close to $4000 in materials at "one off" prices, for the quality of materials and hydraulics put into this thing. If one had the inclination to shop around and perhaps use some lesser quality but equally capable parts, the materials could probably had for around $2000, which is the route I'd probably take. There's quite a bit of labor involved, but if one is doing it as a labor of love and a fun project who cares.

    I understand why the table is not adjustable. I went to their website. There's 1/2 or 3/4 steel reinforcing the deck. It will take a LOT of weight and will be stable, not be flimsy. It's also built for for options that need to be really strong. If that's a problem for the tall folks, just build the deck up...fashion a couple of 2 x12s together.

    I took a quick look at this splitter and maybe someone else has noticed this, but why do they have the filter after the manifold? Why are they not filtering before it goes through the pump and manifold?? Any rust or debris are going to potentially go through the entire system before being filtered out.

    Looks like a fantastic splitter. But for a guy who might need to split 5 cords a year, I can’t justify the price of this beauty

    i've run this splitter for 2 yrs. no the table is not to low. you want to be able to look at the top of the rounds when splitting. its a super fast. works great on wood with straight grain. it will get stuck in oak or stuff that would be stubborn.
    the splitter uses a flywheel weight which is how they get away with smaller engine but still has good power.
    eastonmade boxwedge setup it a better design. both are way overpriced. you can buy a miller mig welder, steel and hydraulics and still have 5k to put towards a mini excavator. one with a hydraulic thumb works the best

    A lot of comments about the table height. Can you address that in an upcoming video? Also, what is the height of that table? It looks like you had a slight slouch, and I just think of how much my back would hurt (I’m over 6’3”).
    I don’t comment much, but do watch almost all of the videos. Congrats on the 100k mark.

    I been looking at Easton axis. I decided on a vertical setup like this. how many brands offer a vertical splitter like this. I am just starting my research. I have a tym t494 with fransgarde sk-950 log grapple. similar design to frostbite but heavier despite being made of hardox. made in Denmark. great fit and finish. about $500 more than frostbite. $23-$2400 as I recall with all brackets. I got to say the fit and finish is a cut above.great for full load or picking that one log u want.ya don't see many vidjas on Fransgard the 950 is for a t574 size machine. the 1400 is for 75-130 hp tractor or skid. the smaller one is way beefier than frostbite.MADE BY VIKINGS I think jswoodhouse or Cummings&Bricker dealers

      Off the top of my head, I know four brands.
      Split force is a copy of this splitter.
      Easton made and Wolfridge have their own versions that are probably more robust, but also cost more
