I don't know how I made my way to watch your firewood splitting videos. Now I am hooked up with it. I love to watch you splitting smaller splits with your super splitter. we don't split firewood with machines, mauls and axes are the things used out here in our region as I am from a corner of North East India called Nagaland. Keep it up 👍👏
Hi and thanks for your comment! It is great to have you on board from India. My metrics show India is a very popular country with my channel but I rarely get a comment. You have a friend in ohio USA! Please subscribe if you haven't yet. Joe
I have a lighter DR splitter. I know yours will splitter just about anything. People underestimate these kinetic splitters but until you operate one you won't see it. It helps that you aim for the cream of the premium firewood. That makes it almost effortless. Have a good one. See you tomorrow. I'll be 59 tomorrow.
Happy Birthday Tom
Love these splitters Tom! Happy 59! Joe
Happy birthday Tom.. My son's birthday is tomorrow as Well..
@@DanielAtkinsFirewood thank you.
I have a k10 also. Makes kindling as fast as i can feed it
Hi Joe. You need to buy an old ear 🌽 elevator and have it on the end of your table. Thanks for the great videos.
I usually have the machine exiting right into the trailer but I had the set up slightly different simply because we were filming. The camera girl needed to move around the front of the machine to get better views. Joe
Really be much better
Happy Newyear from Manitoba Canada . Enjoy your enthusiasm of being self employed !!
Thanks so much David and Karen! I just LOVE this. Joe
I’m going to mount a magnet on the flywheel cover for keeping a putty knife handy. I’ll send you pictures when it’s finished. Great video. I love that machine.
I just use a wood scrap Harold. I used to use a metal putty knife but it was scratching the beam too much. Joe
Please send a video of it in application. Thanks
@@rottiejakeluke are you asking me or Joe?
I really do enjoy you sharing your business experience and your presentation explaining what worked for you. You obviously enjoy working outside and sitting behind a desk as a mouse operator you feel like you are serving a sentence for 30 plus years . I don’t feel like I’ve got a boss , I got 75 bosses and inspector’s That are sharing there work with me because we are professional, work safe and efficient and and get it done in there time frame . We’ve worked hard to build there confidence in our work . Thanks for sharing.
Very nice post Eddie. Thanks for sharing. Hearing these things makes me feel like I now you better. I think even my best days at the old job were worse than my bad days in the wood yard! Joe
I saw a another video where you explained how you started the business - for a good portion of my career I've been self-employed there's a saying you can go get a job - or you can go to work - better said is you can take a hobby and do it for a living and make a lot more money then you can working for someone else- one of my thoughts were if you provide a service in the end you will make a good living
I like the thinner wedge on the Super Splitter. It makes for cleaner and neater cuts.
I agree Al. I think it makes the splitting action faster and more efficient. When you split smaller diameter rounds you can keep it whole after it is first split, pull it back, rotate, and have it quartered in no time. Joe
Loved watching a good split in the morning (at least, it currently is 9AM in The Netherlands 😀).
Hello to The Netherlands from Ohio USA Bert! Thanks for watching. Joe
Love to watch these work ,we used one for many years and it’s still going ,just younger folks running it .we never found anything it wouldn’t split.We we’re loading oak and beach with a loader because we couldn’t pick them up.
We've been using a kinetik log splitter like this one for years. Absolutely great. I will say that my father had to live with only 7 fingers for the last 20 years of his life. He lost the three using this machine. The new machines come with dual switch controls for just this reason. it's slower to operate but certainly safer.
Great video Joe. Nice to see the SS in action. 30 minutes was a perfect amount of time. I will be watching the live stream. Have a great one. G Steelers! Lendy from California
Big game next week Lendy! Joe
Thanks for the Super splitter content. i have my alarm set for the live action tomorrow!
Thanks so much Shawn. I will be looking for ou tomorrow. Joe
I love the speed of the splitter
Hey Joe, I love that machine. Look forward to you videos.
Would enjoy spending a day working with you and those machines. Good stuff!
Thanks for the kind words David. Happy new year! Joe
Pretty cool splitter! Thanks for sharing.
You bet PCL. Joe
Rey satisfying to watch, almost mesmerizing 😀
Hey Joe, great Show!
Too bad your Livestream is at 3 a.m. here in Germany, so obviously I will watch it later.
I thought of that Johannes. I promise to have one early AM here one day for your guys. I appreciate your support of the channel and I want to make sure you are aware of that. Joe
You've got that own to a science.
I've got the HD this past summer. You're right. It's not perfect but with nice rounds it's extremely fast. Nice video.
I didn't get the HD because I would figure it would be too heavy to push around a squishy yard. How do you like it? Joe
@@ohiowoodburner No it's not too heavy. the fat tires make it easy to move around. It's great once you learn how to split around the knots.
Call me crazy but there’s something enjoyable about watching this.
Merry Christmas Joe hope you had a great Christmas as well. That is some good looking firewood I bet you could sell some of that, lol. Take care brother.
Same to you Ben. Yes it's for sale!! lol. Hope to see you on the livestream this evening. Joe
@@ohiowoodburner I hope to make it I have to make bundles and load the truck for a delivery tomorrow after I get home from my real job. lol
I'm 58. Fortunately I can still work with some speed. You got a nice pace going just keep flying thanks Woodstock ct
Thanks Brad. I love running that machine for sure. It has gotten me to where I am today. thanks for watching. Try to come to our livestream tomorrow night. Joe
Yes I will
I'm going to have to get me one of these. Like you I have a good hydraulic splitter but boy, that Super Splitter looks GREAT.
Beautiful day to get some big rounds split up there! See you Monday Evening on your live!
Awesome AHL! I hope to see you there. You need to start making T shirts etc. Joe
After this performance I need to get splittin. Super split is fast and awesome to watch👍 I get 90% tree service wood lots of big stuff otherwise I would have one also. Looking forward to your livestream.
The limiting factor for me and the SS John is my ability to lift the log up to the table. It will split anything you an put on it. For me to continue in this business I need a commercial splitter with a log lift bc I am getting too many rounds that I can't lift. Joe
@@ohiowoodburner Wolfe ridge time!😁
@@Izuksvids That would be nice for sure Isaac! Joe
@@Izuksvids Eastonmade TIME!!!!!
The title is appropriate. That was a good workout. John From Wilmington, Delaware.
Thanks John. Glad to have you from Delaware. We drove thru there two summers ago before the pandemic. Loved that ride up the coast. Joe
I started in the offshore oilfield out in the Gulf of Mexico years ago in the early 70s- much of what we did all day long was repetitious in those days- - everything broke apart we broke it apart with a sledgehammer and beat it back together with a sledgehammer - in fact for a workout these days I split wood by ax and sometimes I cut it with a Crosscut saw in my old age-- I live in the country so it's my means are going to the gym for City dwellers- in the oilfield when a man was working as you were on that splitter we would say (HE'S GETTIN IT) - LOL-
Hello from Norway, Nice splitter.
Hello Norway from Ohio USA! Thanks for watching Morton. Joe
The splitter speaks for itself!!!
Well said Ken. 100% correct. For the money it can't be beat. Joe
Thanks Joe. How about a tour of all your equipment.....
Great video. That rail was getting gummed up. Ash is bad for gumming up the blades on our sawmill as well. You wouldn't think so, considering its so dry, but it does.
The SS works best in dry conditions. In this case we had a lot of snow that had just melted and there was moisture in the bark. Also I had bucked these logs in the rain and that caused a lot of the chips to stick to the bark...not to mention the lichen that was on many of the logs. I had to scrape more than normal. I have started to use random scraps to scrape the crud off since this will not scratch the beam like a metal scraper etc would. Joe
No snow in Ohio, you sure you didn’t move south without knowing it? 😂 I’ve been looking at those recently and they are impressive!!! The Lord sure has blessed you and your business! Keep up the good work! 🐸
The snow came yesterday. We have about 4 inches in places. Joe
I enjoyed the video! Thanks
Even if you are not a business, it’s amazing what family and friends go through when having a fire. In the fireplace, outside (especially outside) this is a lot of wood split perfectly in barely 25 minutes !! You can basically filll that trailer in 1.5 to 2 hours and there’s enough wood for a week or two of camp fires. Nice!
I have been watching the automated systems where you can split the whole log in 4 or 6 pieces all at once but that system produces some pretty rough firewood. This, you have control to make whatever size of wood you want from each log. They don’t always split into 6 perfect pieces!! 😂😂. I have been using a cheap splitter that’s much slower than this and with the machine I have, you yearn for the automated machines. I would have split 1/2 of what you did in under 25 minutes. You can see where I would have to work for 3+ hours to fill that trailer, I think actually between 4 - 5 hours. I think my dump trailer is about the same size of yours. (Perspective is funny through the camera, for me anyway.
Thanks for sharing! Suddenly the video was done!! Kind of mesmerizing. I can see where it’s much more fun with an appropriately fast machine!
Van Sickle makes a graphite paint call EZ slide for farm implements sold at farm stores. Has saved me many headaches with debris build-up.
Never heard of it Patrick. I will check it out. Joe
You are a nice guy! And is very relaxing to watch
Thanks Horatiu! Joe
Aside from the speed, the SS produces little if any waste. A very efficient, purpose built machine.
Have the special edition model with a Honda 270GX engine with a 2 to 1 gear reduction. Nothing has stopped it yet! Goes through knots and knarly wood no problem
Excellent observation Cliff. And that is the truth too. Very little is wasted. Joe
Great machine for some fast paced splitting. Trailer was getting full fast. Should make the live stream if I don’t fall asleep 😴 Your camera operator was really getting in there!!👍🏻👍🏻
I had to give her hazard pay for this filming! LOL. Joe
To the average person you made it seem so simple as you split wood but sometimes those logs come apart with explosive force- in my case there are thousands of gum trees around and it's considered trash wood- if you split it when it's green it's real stringy - so I split it when it's dry and when they split they often split at explosive force - LOL- but at times any log will split explosive force in fly in every direction - so your wife deserved that hazardous pay lol
Great video! I will most definitely be at the live stream.
Great to hear and thanks for watching SCF! Joe
I always wanted to get my hands on one of them kinetic splitters
They are great machines. Not perfect but for the money they are hard to beat. Joe
Nice splitter, looks like it got power
It is amazingly strong with power Larry. Not much it won't split. Joe
Had to go back to your earlier days and watch you split some good looking wood without the box wedge blemishes. I know it’s not as fast as a processor, but boy oh boy does that look smooth and the wood looks carved the splits are so clean. Visual appeal is “value added” indeed! Gonna order my SS in 2023 and get going on my inventory for sale. Going with the HD model and the Honda engine that I will replace with electric when I get my barn built.
Question Sir: have you found a better way to keep the build up off the beam that a piece of wood? Maybe a metal spatula or some other method? Reno
You know what happens when you brag about your weather??? It changes!!!! Nice video
LOL That is about right Ben. We always say if you don't like the weather in Ohio, wait 15 minutes and it will change. Joe
Don't you love Ash rounds? They are the best to split on The Super Split, goes threw them like bahddah. I would like to wish you and yours a Happy and safe holiday. Thanks again for another great video. Mahalo and aloha.
Mahalo CJ. I love splitting ash! Great wood. Joe
Nice splits Joe, on the brink of 6k too..
See you tomorrow night..
That happened fast Dan! Glad you can make it. You are my only Mod lol. Joe
Stay hydrated and take breaks when you’re fatigued my friend. Energy conservation techniques. From an occupational therapy assistant.
Good point. I have noticed that I am not drinking enough water sometimes. Can you believe how far we have come in the the field of performance improvement? Football coaches used to deny water to their players to toughen them up. UGH. Joe
I know this from hard physical labor in the offshore oilfield - as we sweat we lose a lot of the minerals our bodies need to properly function also Studies have been done on people that live in the deserts of the world they constantly add natural salt or mineral salt to the water as they drink throughout the day they shake the water up or stir It before they drink it- that creates a negative charge to the water and minerals when they do that and our bodies really absorb the water in that state- in the oilfield we made it mandatory that the crews take salt tablets throughout the day it was to prevent them from having Strokes - also to maintain their energy level through a 12 and 16 hour day of exertion- it was just figured in that they would eat about 5 lb of uncooked beef every 6 hours they serve food every 6 hours 24 / 7 - it took that much beef to maintain their energy levels through the day- so when you're working like that if you find that you get real hungry- if you add a lot of beef to your meals that will quench that hunger- if the crews did not get the beef necessary they would not be as productive as they were- you can eat a lot of soft scrambled or soft boiled eggs and they will accomplish the same thing as beef
When Hurricane Katrina hit down here in the south we all got out on the roads and started clearing all the trees off the roads- it wasn't very long and many begin to tire out - in the oilfield vegans would come out there and they quickly found out that a vegan diet just won't work where a lot of energy is required - it was the same after Katrina many found out that beans and rice just won't cut it when you need a lot of energy beef and eggs have a lot of protein in them when I mentioned 5 lb of uncooked beef it's only about 2 lb once it's cooked but either way when you're exerting yourself our bodies require a lot of protein in the form of meat or eggs if you cook eggs at high temperatures it destroys the protein and low protein value
A very impressive splitter!!!!
Thanks Steve! Joe
What happens when that splitter hits a knot in some hickory or maple? Does it instantly turn it into boiler wood for you? Good job on today’s video. Camera person added a lot to the video 👍
Hi Stan... If the log is ugly or if I can tell it will be trouble to split it goes into my wood shed. I still need personally about 10-12 cords a year to heat the house so I don't mess around much with a knotty log. I will tell her your compliment. She may make an appearance tomorrow eve on the live stream. LOL. Joe
A foot control would be awesome.
Stihl makes a spray lubricant/cleaner that we use on our hedge trimmers. I think it would help you tremendously on that top beam. Great videos keep up the good work!!!!
I will look into it. I am going to a Stihl dealer tomorrow. Joe
@@ohiowoodburner Hedge trimmer blade cleaner/ Resin remover is what the can says.
Thanks for sharing.....see you tomorrow night.
I'm looking forward to it! Joe
hi from finland!!great videos you have!
Mina olen Joe. Kuka sina olet?
@@ohiowoodburner i am from finland and works whit palax 70 and lot of more wood machines and other works
Man that thing is quick! Love the videos.
I love this splitter Zeke. It has put me where I am today! Joe
Nice work 👍👍👍
Thanks CB. I'm glad to have you here! Joe
You did a real good job Joe. I don,t think I could do that, if I was doing it for someone else. That is a lot of work, but I am no stranger to work. I always have run to work, not from it. I just don,t think I could make enough money selling wood to equal what I could could make in an hour at a regular job. Keep up the good videos and be safe. Have a great day Joe.
Thanks Ed. Honestly I don't make near what I used to in my real job (yet) but honestly I'm not missing it either. I still am growing and see much more growth if I can keep this going. Joe
Great video Joe! You can count me in for the livestream tomorrow
Thanks Sam! Can't wait. Joe
If one doesn't own a tractor or other means of mechanically lifting heavy rounds would you still recommend this splitter? I think that is my biggest hesitation. Like you, my age has me lifting smaller rounds every year. Great video -thanks.
Just wondering, why are the V belts partially exposed on the Super Splitter?
I don't know why. I don't feel any part of you is at risk from the belts when it is running however. Joe
Where is your snow Joe?. I have 18 inches up here by the lake. Nice splitter take care.
This was filmed the day before. The temps were in the upper 40's! LOL. The next day the storm came. Looks slightly different outside now Mark! LOL. Joe
@@ohiowoodburner I figured Joe, I had to pull your chain a little. Lol
SPLITTER REALLY IS FAST
It is a great machine Michael. It has put me where I am today. Joe
How much wood.did you split in under 30 min looks like a cord.?
Hi Joe - hope you and your family had a nice Christmas! Just curious about how much wood you split in this video - a Rick? Or ?? Thanks for the great content -
Thanks Lucius and I wish the same for you. This was slilghtly more than 1/3rd cord, or a rick, or a face cord lol. Whichever you prefer. The big logs you see in this vid are somewhat slower to work with. If I split a bunch of 8-10" rounds...especially with a person handing me the logs I can fly! Joe
For premium firewood this seems to be the machine for the job. I know you've mentioned the increasing need for a commercial splitter with a log lift, which would compliment your existing equipment well. Have you thought about a machine with a box wedge? I know they produce more waste than a 4 way, but no resplitting.
I am unsure about the box wedge Jason. Sometimes I like them, sometimes I don't. I would have to spend the day with one probably to make sure I find them fun to run. I am still looking for a commercial splitter however. This Super Splitter is awesome but I still need something a little more stout, that can pick logs up etc. Joe
I have some reservation with the box wedge too as sometimes it appears to really tear the wood up, I'm guessing it depends on the species being split. I like that once it's on the splitter it seems like much less wrestling the round around.
Thanks for the video, good session!
For getting the gunk off the Super Splitter rail, didn't you use a gasket scraper before? Or does a wood chip actually work better? Maybe a drill with a soft wire brush like brass would work - not one from steel!
Anyways, good action shots from your daughter! :)
You are very welcome Hordenlite. It seems everytime I set aside a dedicated scraper I can't find it! I just learned to use a scrap of wood with a sharp edge. It works pretty good and doesn't scratch the beam. Joe
When do you decide to use the super splitter versus the other machine. Thanks Joe
He mentioned once, that he does when the pieces are too big, not very straight or too knotty for the processor.
Hi Jim. When the log gets to > 14" I will buck it and use my splitter. If a big log is crooked or has some knots it seems easier to pull out the saw. Joe
Hi Joe-
Which engine are you running your super splitter?
I see they have 3 options.
Thanks-
Matt
Hi Matt... This is the Honda gas. I'm not sure what size it is. I hear the electric version is just as good. The power from the SS comes from the speed of the engine and spinning of the flywheels. Not torque. Joe
Hi Matt - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. Joe had mentioned in a previous video that he has the standard SuperSplit so his engine would be the Honda GX160, which is 160cc and is rated at 5.5bhp. The heavy duty model has the GX200 producing 6.5bhp. The precise rating is on the pull cord casing but I couldn't make it out when the camera panned across the engine.
Thanks Joe
Thanks Big Rodders!!!!
Hi Matt - it's Big Rodders in Ireland again. I have just viewed the video again and this time I could read that the engine is a GX 160 so it is the 5.5hp model. The entire GX range is commercial grade, pushrod design with cast iron bores. They can have horizontal or vertical crankshafts. They are renowned for easy starting and longevity.
I should be able to make the livestream. That super splitter does great with the gravy train 🚂 ash blocks
It really flies on about a 10" log. You can have it quartered quick. Joe
If you offered kindling to the small amount customers would it be better bound in twine/jute or packed into a paper lunch bag? An easy way to turn the slivers of wood created in the splitting process into something you can sell/give away as added value to the product by less labor/materials they need to create/buy from others.
Hi Andrew. I do indeed sell kindling in burlap bags. I have a video of my process I made earlier in the summer. My kindling is all 10" long and dry. Looks great and I am able to charge a premium for it. For the scraps I dump them in my road to create a base to keep me out of the mud. Believe it or not but splitting with the Super Splitter creates very little waste. Joe
Fastest splitter I've ever seen!!!! What is the current Price tag my friend?
I like the Super Split- Very simple. Which model is it?
It is the J Model Richard. Great machine. Joe
@@ohiowoodburner - Thank You- Happy New Year to you and your Family
not bad. i still prefer timberwolf with four or six way head or better yet rent a dyna
I like all of those too. The Super Splitter has them all beat on price. My limitation is what I can pick up to the table. That is why I am looking for a commercial splitter. Joe
I’m actually in SW Ohio, (Beavercreek).
Nice to meet you Dave! Joe from NEO!
Good video!
Thanks David! Joe
You'll probably hit 6000 subscribers by the time you start the livestream!
That would be super cool if so Casey. We picked up a lot of subs in one week! This has been such a joy to be a part of. Joe
Hello From Chicago! How bout giving that bar a good cleaning and then using some type of lubricant before and during the splitting?
I do use a heavy spray lube about every 2 hours. I was told not to put a lube on the beam but rather keep it clean and dry. The drier it is the less it gums up. Joe
Is that the super split HD or se model???
Try putting on some bees wax on your beam. I use it all the time on my woodworking equipment. It might work for you.
Thanks for the tip Jeff I'm not sure how long it would last but it may work. There is a decent amount of pressure the top bearing pushes onto the beam. Not sure if it would squeeze it out or not. One way to find out! Joe
How is it for splitting fresh cut poplar and pine?
I'm thinking hard here... I have never split either with it. I just never get any of those in my woodyard. I would split them fine though. Joe
I would like to purchase a super splitter! From Winnipeg Manitoba Canada.
where can i buy theae machine . from malaysia
Did I miss which model SS you are using? Original vs HD vs SE?
Hi Justin. My SS is the J model. IMO that is all you need. Joe
@@ohiowoodburner thanks Joe!
Can I suggest something? After you split the first one in half, put them back together and turn it over so that way your not doing double-the work if that makes any sense. That’s what I do and man it goes so much faster that way. Well for me any way.
Hi Frank. I do indeed to that with the smaller logs. These were a little to big in diameter and the top half would not have hit the wedge. When I have a bunch of 8" size rounds I can have that log quartered in no time. This machine is great to have! Joe
Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. You certainly got a wonderful Dec day there, its damp and slushy here today. A couple of ideas for dealing with the resin build up on the plate. Have you thought of using a gas soaked rag, which you could keep in a sealed container like a Tuppaware item, to clean the plate regularly. Alternatively use a spray brake cleaner and rag. Also, how about using a plastic windscreen scraper to remove that pesky resin, that wouldn't damage the plate.
I hit the bearings with a heavy spray lube about every 2 hours and I use that on the gunk which seems to loosen it good for removal. I used to have a plastic scraper dedicated for the Super Splitter but I could count on never being able to find it LOL. I just now find a shard of wood with a nice edge and it seems to do the job. Joe
Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders again. I used to say to the youngsters at work that it's all a question of P, O & I. When they'd give me a confused look I would explain - Planning, Organisation and then Implementation!!
Enjoyed the supersplit video but how does it perform on knotty or twisted wood ?
Hi Mike. It does just fine. It knifes thru instead of powers and rips. Handles elm, gum, hickory just fine. I have a 27 ton Troy Bilt hydro and I never use it anymore.
@@ohiowoodburner fantastic. Im looking at making some kind of move. Thanks. Where is it built / dealer ?
👍👍👍
Morning Joe hope u and your family had a great Xmas I was just thinking why don't u get a small metal scraper to take the bark off the metal plate hope to join u tonight joe
With all the scraping, metal will scratch the beam and cause wear. I used to keep a hard plastic scraper around but I could never find it when I needed it LOL. I just find a shard of wood with a flat edge does great to scrape it off. Joe
Joe I have a puddy knife on a string , always ready to grab.
How do you like that log splitter? Any issues with the flywheel? I’m here in NE OH also.
This is a dynamite machine. Love it. For its cost you can't get more production. Joe
where can i buy these machines bro😮💨 i work firewood man too but i’m using axe for a years
could you get a straighter grain chunk of wood ??? put a piece of green elm in there and then throw the hole thing in a dumpster seen it tried it and destroyed it all in one day
I have split a lot of elm, gum, sycamore, hickory. It does just fine Richard. Sure it has its limitations but I can pull out my old Troy Bilt hydro anytime and it is covered in dust. Joe
Nice weather on your side of the lake . I can't stand when the saw dust sticks to the wood ,you ,equipment .Its like eating Cheetos and getting that cheese powder all over you .Love the speed of the machine
It doesn't look like this outside today JR. It is deep snow! Joe
I can't handle 30 minutes of this. I like 3 minutes
Thanks for watching regardless Don. I get requests for vids like this for the people who think I talk too much or just like splitting. I hope you are doing well. Joe
@@ohiowoodburner thanks for the reply. I live in Western North Carolina. Smokey Mountains Territory. I do not own a chainsaw. I do not own a pickup truck. I do not own a trailer. I do not own a splitter. However if 2021 is it okay year I plan on 10 months from now buying those items. The reason I stay ten months I'm a house painter and 90% of my work is exterior. I currently am not making any money I have enough money saved so I can sit on my butt for over a year if I want to but I know, April work will be here again I'm 61 years old so I'm not in great shape as some of these young guys on these wood cutting videos. I think you have 20 21 is not as bad as we all think it's going to be then I anticipate buying a couple of chainsaws and a splitter to start with
With all the debris floating around your work space, would it help to have a compressor nearby to blow out all that gunk? Would your final product to the customer not be cleaner?
Seems the wood is being split kind of small. is it for a restaurant ?.
Mostly yes. Still I have learned the smaller the split the more $ the wood is worth. Joe
Could you wax that beam? I think I have about 5 cords of wood, which I use to just give it away. It's all Live Oak from trees I either cut down or was piled up. A few big stumps were left in the yard so took some time to whittle down. We only burn if we cook food over a fire pit.
The manuf said not to treat the beam with anything. Not sure why...I keep it scraped and that seems to work. Running it in wet weather makes the gum build up quick. Joe
Nice machine but that repetitive clanking noise is very annoying and likely even MORE so to any nearby neighbors. I wonder if insulating the noise with some padding adhered to that cover would make a noticeable difference?
Nice! That super splitter sure is fast!, which one is it? 22ton?
I'm not sure what the rating is on it but this is the J model. Great machine. Highly recommended. Joe
Joe,
Also, wanted to offer, if you need a moderator for the live feed feel free to add me, I'd be happy to help!
Where did you find such a Pretty Camera Person?
She gets her good looks from her mom. She gets her brains from me. Well, she gets those from her mom too! Joe
Lol
Fast splitter, can it handle a 4 way? 👍🏼🇱🇷
It probably could Larry but I have concluded a 4 way would be less efficient. That would waste wood bc it would not be adjustable. The nice thing with this is you can pick and choose the quality of split. Joe
@@ohiowoodburner I have seen a fellow on youtube add an additional flywheel and relocate the engine on his super splitter. he then welded up a 4 way that simply slides over the main wedge. It looks like an absolute monster. and it seems quick to slide off the 4 way when you want to do precise cuts. th-cam.com/video/rZuy0Py_AZc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=cucvs
@@iceflameproductionz That thing looks cool. The Super Splitter has a cult following and there are a number of people who are modding them like a 350 chevy lol. The thing that I have seen that looks really cool is putting UHMWP to the production table making it very slippery and tough. Speeds up the logs sliding them into place. Joe
