    That thing doesn’t play around. It’s seems to have Daddy’s attitude. 💪

    Old buster didn’t get it power coat paint yet , might have to turn up your valve up little for push power . I know the NASA mechanics got thick up his sleeves. You should need my 3 cycle Cummins on it ( or do you need to ) and a hydraulic pump out off an excavator to . 😊

      It has been turned up and there was a little grinding on the wedge/knife that was hanging up quite hard.

    Hey Dad, Millie ! Dad did you make the splitter ? Could you show us the rocket ship you are building in the back yard ? I know NASA has nothing on you ! Happy to know a hard working man ! With principles !! 👍

      Dad here, thanks for the kind words. I did indeed build this machine. It is working well. It needed some adjustments to the relief valves. It is much stronger now

      @smorefirewood  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No gauge. Though it should have one. The pressure is set at 3,000 psi.

      It is a prototype. But once it was fine tuned it would play nicely with all the commercially built splitters. Right now it’s just not pretty.

    The only thing I would change is the horse blinders on the sides of the wedge. They don’t really serve a purpose, because they are too high above the wedge. I would move them down to the bottom of the wedge to peel wood off that’s stuck to it.

    • @smorefirewood

    I knew the old coot was smart but I didn't know he was also fast👍😆 this was really interesting. My neighbor Graham has brought a similar splitter to fix he's a engineer so it was interesting to see a operational model. Most of our old school ones in central Otago are run off tractor PTO and are horizontal splitters great video guys 🥝🙋

    • @smorefirewood
      @smorefirewood  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It is working very well now. A few adjustments to the relief valve and now it is pushing at a bit better than 11 tons. It isn’t a 27 or 35 ton splitter it is only an 11 ton with speed. Some people don’t understand, it isn’t a power monster. My father could build a splitter that could shear of a 30” hardwood log, but this isn’t that. Lol.
      I know you know the difference, having an engineer for a neighbor. Lol

    I love reading through the comments before I chime in. It can be entertaining to see other people’s reactions.
    I for one have complete faith in Daddy... This is clearly the first run of a prototype, so there’s bound to be tweaking and fine tuning to be done before delivery. I have full confidence that the end user is going to be very satisfied with the end product😎
    Bless’ns to the both of ya’s, Tedd

    • @smorefirewood
      @smorefirewood  ปีที่แล้ว

      Uncle Phil is certainly happy with it! Got the engine turned down, and fixed the power problem. Took a little getting used to, since before it was your standard 50-year-old vertical splitter, but now it’s just great

      It is an 11 ton splitter. A fast one. It could be even faster with more power. More pressure, higher gpm and more horsepower. And of course more money.
