Nice one Taryl. The steel in those beads and the belts are a nightmare to try and cut with a saw or a cut off wheel. For those of you without a log splitter, the main problem I have with old tires is the fact that they hold water and all sorts of critters and mosquitoes just love that. I figured out that if you start a cut with a box knife near where the sidewall meets the tread, you can then fit in a jigsaw blade and use the jigsaw to cut all the way around and cut the entire side wall off the tire. Do that on both sides and now you have two sidewalls and the tread, it no longer holds water and you can use those parts of the tire for various things around the homestead. For example, cut down a few saplings and lay those across 2 or 3 sidewalls and stack your firewood on top of that. Gets you firewood off the ground so it can breath better and dry out faster while also protecting your saplings from ground contact and helping them to last long enough until you get ready to use the firewood a year or two down the road.
Taryl, put two tires at a time in there. The first tire gets cut and the second tire is there to protect the blade. Then move that tire to the front and put a tire behind it, so on and so forth.
That works very well! You should try making a shear attachment! Have a 1/2 plate slipped over the ram, with a matching 1/2 slot in the stop plate! Have the 1/2 plate angled so the bottom and top lines up with the stop slot to keep it in alignment and it cuts at both the top and the bottom simultaneously! Never have to sharpen anything, plus it should cut completely each time!
Cut a 1/4" vertical gap in the steel plate in line with the wedge. Don't make it a "V" shape, just make it with vertical sides. It should act somewhat like a shear to complete the cut. Then you might be able to use 3 strokes instead of 6 strokes of the ram.
Great job Tayrl. After I run them through the log splitter, I use my redesigned branch chipper and run them through it, to make tiny rubber chips, like mulch. They are great around shrubs and bushes because they hold in the water and they don't rot or attract the insects like wood mulch does. Rodents hate them as well because of the picky wires. That's why you never use them on playgrounds. Unless your brothers kid plays there and when he comes to your shop he's a little monster and is always breaking things and your brother never pays for it. Lol. Later. Awww come on it was just a joke! Lol.
They're also good to burn in a coal stove. Of course, you have to clean the leftover metal bits in the stove, but that might be worth the trouble. Lots of energy is couped up in a tire. In fact, coal power plants sometimes mix in TDR, Tire Derived Fuel, which is shreaded tires with most of the metal removed, in with the coal, depending on cost & availability. If someone is worried about pollution, they can run their stove with a catalytic converter which actually can be a plus for a stove, because it produces heat from unburned volitles going up the smokestack, which otherwise would go to waste.
I have the same splitter which started bending that foot plate the same way. I made a 2' jig from 4" I beam and ran a chain from it's end back to the ram, the extra leverage of the I beam welded to the foot plate allowed it to bend right back, despite having to reverse the hydraulic lines to stop the auto stop cutting the feed. It was just a one off repair. I then cut the I beam off and welded two strips of 1-1/4'' solid square bar down each side of the foot plate the whole way. I has never bent again since and the foot plate is now bigger and holds the wood better. That stock plate is undersized for the full ram load when it's concentrated at the outer edge and in that scenario will always bend. The upgrade is ideally done before it happens, otherwise bending it back straight is tough.
After watching a Jonathan W video I use my log splitter to remove tires from small wheels and rusted wheels. I'm not saving either the tire or wheel so it doesn't matter. Once the tire is off the rim I use an angle grinder to cut the bead and a sawzall to cut up the tread. Now I'm gonna have to try this. Thanks Taryl!
GREAT IDEA!!! I made a adpter for our splitter to squash oil filters, The recyclers charged the same amount for a 55 gallon drum of filters Mashed or not. We're able to fit 4 times the amount of filters in the drum. Big money saveings! It should work for tires to, intend to try it. Thank you MR.T
I always thought splitters were an under utilized resource .press work and tube bending clamping with the right attachments for the ram etc. Sausage press fruit press, extruder French fry maker ,skys the limit and ram force of course....
Taryl mashing tires does for me what ASMR does for others. The sound of the log splitter, and the visual of the tires being cleaved brings me inner peace. Jai Guru Deva, om.
I wonder if you could use two steel blocks about as wide apart as the wedge at the end instead of one solid one that the wedge runs into. Then it would shear the tire instead of press-cut.
In my state people just throw out the old tires on the side of the road and the city or county pick them up sometimes if you complain about them enough 😜
What would it be if you welded on two more pieces, one on each side of where the ram hits. This creating a grove for the blade to go into, like a pair of scissors.
That's a great idea. Sad thing is that tires could be shredded and used in asphalt roads, but that improves the road so much that they won't use it. They would rather pave a road every 3 years instead of every 10 years.
Great idea! I would have a pair of tin snips on hand just to finish off those cuts ✂️ , that way you don't have to cycle the splitter and manhandle the tire again..Also,I wonder if you cut a very thin groove in your anvil with your cutting wheel if that might allow for a complete cut?
In your video looks like you need to sharpen your wedge on the splitter evenly from top to bottom so it cuts the tire on each stroke completely thru the tire . To check after the wedge is sharpened,run your blade close up to the steel plate you made. Then check in-between the steel plate and wedge wit an appropriate feller guage. Just my 2 cents worth. Keep the videos coming to Pittsburgh Pa
Taryl, I love this. You have me thinking that maybe a piece of 1/4 inch brass plate to the front your steel backstop might buy a few more strokes before you have to sharpen?
TARYL ... I've been watching the Channel since the beginning but rarely chime in because your content routinely leaves "no room" for improvement. Others Grass Rats are commenting "at or near" my suggestion on this video with slight variations. My idea is to create a "mirror image" of the wedge on the butt-plate. In this way, the wedge can penetrate both sides (inside / outside) of the tire by maintaining a cutting edge through the entire cutting process. It's difficult to put into documentation, but if you mirror the angles of the wedge, you will maintain pressure "through" the cut versus "stopping" at the butt-plate. This should also alleviate the volume of sharpening to maintain production. I / WE would appreciate a new video since it's one of our few opportunities to contribute to the Channel. Please shoot another video with at least some of our ideas. Spank You very much.
As long as I can get it into a black trash bag, and have it not look like a tire from the outside, I can send my tires to the curb, where my taxes pay to have them taken away. This idea is AWESOME for doing just that. Thank you, Taryl.
what if you use a cutoff wheel and put a groove in the plate so cutting wedge will go inside it. that might keep it from getting so dull by pushing it against the plate
The bead wires are going to dimple the wedge no matter, save it being some kind of super tool steel. You could go with a flat or concave punch instead of knife and a double bypass anvil. I guss it would depend on how many tires you need to do? A couple for boat dock bumpers. If it's to get them in the dumpster the potential fines just wouldn't be worth it.
I carefully use my 37 Ton North Star Log Splitter to break the bead on Harley Tires when I need to change tires on rims, but I don't think I would be inclined to cut tires with it. It's a definite possible additional use for a log splitter, but I couldn't bring myself to put my splitter through what I consider abuse. I did notice that the end plate on your splitter in the video is bowed, from all the Hydraulic pressure it has received, far more then it would from splitting logs.
Great videos working on my zero turn Husqvarna with a Briggs & Stratton engine some gasket leaking hopefully watching all your videos will get me through this and there’s your dinner
looks like the perfect tool for trimming fingernails. seriously though that worked pretty good. I tried a porta band, it works on the steel belts and rubber but not the bead wires, they are too hard.
It would be good in small cubes for a fire starter 🤔. I wouldn’t want to have to deal with the wires that would be left in the ashes. I save all my used oil. I usually us used motor oil. Takes very little to start a fire with dry wood :-)
Hi Taryl ,, How many tonnes of pressure is you log splitter running ? If you dont mind me asking you. Also a great idea and thanks for your awesome video. Cheers from John in Australia.
I don't know Taryl, I think it would be easier to take them to Wal-mart parking lot, find an unlocked car & place them in the back seat... with a note that says "And Theirs's Your Dinner" 🤣
Your back plate is tipping as the one on the splitter is bent backwards. Shim it. Cut the tread first with the car tire, with tire above, not below ram.
I have the exact same spliter but with a honda gx160 engine on lt. Good machine split los of wood with it l added some fenders to it. The olny problem lve had is the nipple between the hydraulic cylinder and valve would break once in awhile
I know off topic but I seen you do videos on mower tailpipes figured wth so what's it mean when you see metal came oit the back of your left tailpipe on a zero turn after operating without a muffler cover? Busted rod fixable solution or chunk it for parts...I feel like part of a rod melted broke and spit out the pipe
When i lived in the city they used to pick up old tires then you had to get a dump permit and take them to the dump to get rid of them. That seems like a good idea. Now i just get my wood splitter running again
Maybe try using both the wood and the steel spacers together ... put the wood against the foot, with the steel plate in front of it. Might give you a little bit of cushion to reduce the damage to your wedge
if you cut a groove out in the steal plate jjust big enough for the wedge to get through but not the tire you wont have to recut it and you wont dull your wedge. it will cut it very good and smooth.
I cut a motorcycle tire,only one I have,the bead had some nasty tough steel wire. I am not sure your method would shear it and if it did how long the splitter would stay up to shearing more? Like I said 1 and only done by hand, thanks for the video.
Then again, if you could store them, tires are a resource -- during a SHTF scenario burning tires make a great perimeter defense. Somebody in a Prius wouldn't come within 2 blocks of check point chokey. lol
That is a smart idea! Personally I value my expensive wood splitter to much to do that because it's newer, but you can also cut the sidewalls out with a utility knife and the tire will be in three pieces that you can then throw them away! Check your county regulations before you try to expose of tires first.
Old car tires make great mulch plugs for riding mower with a curved deck much better than the wimpy plastic ones you get from the factory made one for my Husqvarna 2654
It's like using anvil pruners vs shears to cut something. Making a set of shearing jaws for a log splitter should be easy enough for a man with your talents and you could use it as a metal shear as well.

Not so much with radial tires but why wouldn't an old chain saw with a old bar and chain and a big block of wood work way faster

*In my best Taryl customer voice*
But Taryl, if you keep sharpening the head of the splitter like that you won't have anything left in 100 years!

An old dead Dozer is a great start
Love your videos, Taryl! Drill some holes in the bottom of the channel to let the water out.
You may be able to build a wedge sleeve that is taller that fits over the wood cutting wedge just for tires. Just a thought. Thx for the video!

put a raised center section of 1/2 inch steel 1 inch wide on your back plate. That should help it cut.

That back plate looks like it's just about had enough of that task 😂
Them thar tars still had a many miles left on them. Ol tarl must be a richun.
Try a piece of composite decking in front of the steel.
Wow, that’s cool, burns great too!
if you cut a groove out in the steal plate jjust big enough for the wedge to get through but not the tire you wont have to recut it and you wont dull your wedge. it will cut it very good and smooth.

Thinking if you cut a line with a depth of 1/4-1/2 inch down middle of steel plate, it should cut all the way through and less grinding on the wedge
Great , however i would add a small raised vertical channel on the back plate for the blade to enter , cutting the back wire easier,

Hey i do the same thing but i have a block of iron at end with a v shape in it so the ram goes all the way thru the wire cuts clean every time

melt them down and make a kick butt basketball court! :P Merry Christmas Taryl and crew. .
