Great video! No useless music and spinning splash pages - just good common sense, short and to the point. Well done sir, and thank you for your wisdom!
Thanks for the comment NM Flash.
Good video
This was a fantastic video for people like us, who have a lot of logs, but need to rent a splitter- and never have used one before. Thank you! This actually put a lot of my fears (I know someone who lost three fingers in a log splitter so I've been leary) to rest.
Glad i could help, just take your time and be careful.
Thank you for posting this video! It was very helpful
Thank you glad to help.
Thanks Kevin never used a log splitter before and this video helps greatly. I appreciate you providing instruction getting ready to rent one!:)
Glad to help John thank you for the comment my friend.
Thank you for the clear explanation 👏 Used to help my Dad do this, now it's all on me. Definitely feel more confident after watching this. Thanks, again.
Thank you so much for the comment glad to help you.
Thank you for this info. Just rented first splitter. Been chopping for 50 years, getting a little tired of swinging the axe. I appreciate you helping me be safe.
Melissa, your welcome and i know what you mean i was so happy to get my splitter it made splitting wood so much more enjoyable.
One of the best log splitting how to's I have seen in a long time.
Thanks for the comment 106pricey.
Looking to rent a log splitter. Never used one. After this video I’m fairly confident I’ll keep all my digits attached and get the job done. Thank you.
You will Love it thanks for the comment glad to help.
This helped a lot.
Thank you for the comment glad to help
Thank you kevin,you were very clear in your directions.thanks
Thank you glad to help
Thanks Kevin and Brandon!
Thanks for watching hope we help you.
I’ve split by hand for years. Now I have 6 trees I need to process. After watching this looking to rent a splitter now.
Very well explained and really helpful.
Thank you.
Thanks for the refresher course!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Great vid. I am using a log-splitter for 1st time today & this was very helpful. THANKS!
Thanks for watching glad to help.
Thanks for the video I feel comfortable now in renting one from Taylor's rental and start my log splitting job this weekend.
It will save you a lot of time for sure thank you for watching.
We have a lot of wood to split. Our old tree that kept falling during high winds finally got cut down. Now the fun begins with the spliting. I think we will rent one just trying to make it easier for my old man to be able to do it.
The log splitter is a time saver as well as a back saver.
Great instructional! Thank You.
Thanks Michael glad to help.
I love how you said “anything between the log and the wedge is going to come off”. 😂😂 Great video. I’ll be renting a splitter to split all the massive logs my friends give me for free for my fire pit. Thanks...
Awesome! Thank you!
This was very timely. I've never used a log splitter before and I just had two huge trees taken down in my yard. I need to rent a splitter and this helped a lot. I only wish you had some huge trunk sized logs you had to break down with it in vertical mode. I have some big logs, ~3'-4' dia I'll have to try to split with this. I'm wondering if that blade will be able to crack it or if I'll get it stuck.
Thanks for the video, picked up a few good tips.
Thank you for watching.
Thanks, I just got some rounds from felled trees from a storm up the road. This helps - going to get more out back and then rent one of these - I don't come across felled trees to often, then again who knows - this looks like fun. 1st timer here
You'll love it, it beats an axe lol.
Very helpful. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the comment and watching.
Got one myself I put some honda motor on and it works great
Thanks for sharing my friend.
This video was super helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
You're very welcome!
Very nice video! Awesome to spend time with your son! God bless you and your family
Thank you Jimmy I Love working with my sons God bless you to my friend.
Great Video. Thanks for sharing Kevin.
Thanks Billy.
Thanks for the video I really enjoyed it keep up the good work your friend G-man
Nice job Kevin! Thank you for sharing!
Really enjoyed this video!
Thanks for watching Mallard.
Very good, informative and to the point.
One point, you know there had to be a nit-picker, I'd reccomend hearing protection. Lost some hearing doing a lot of work around small engines. It sucks asking people to repeat themselves or say, "what?"
Thank you! Just had tree taken down and have a huge pile to split.
Make some good firewood thanks for the comment.
Very cool video Kevin
Thank you.
Thank you so much
You're most welcome thank you for the comment.
Love your videos Kevin. Great pictures, and you completely explain how AND why you're doing what you're doing. Very helpful.Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for all your comment Mark and thanks for watching.
Very good video thankyou
Thank you Andrew.
Great video, Kevin. Learned a lot. Thanks and subscribed!
Thanks Brian glad to help you.
Thank you
Great video. Really helped.
Thanks for watching and the comment.
Hi Kevin - Seems like you really know what you're doing. Question--Do I split dead elm from the bottom end (trunk) side or from the top in order to prevent a stringy mess. i.e. Should the knife of the splitter hit the top or bottom of the log? Thnx. Brian.
Mine's a little newer, has the log cradles on the sides with 25ton cylinder. Great machine, very happy with it over 10 years now. I cover it and oil the track, take good care of it. The only problem I've had is carburetor corrosion due to our crummy fuel, same as any lawn mower.
i need a cradle for mine, maybe one day i will build them
@@Robinson-Homestead there are 4 brackets welded onto the i-beam were the cradles mount, I can photograph mine if you want to see it. Pretty sure this is shown in the parts list too. If you want info, let me know. The cradle is a nice feature. I haven't needed to rebuild my cylinder or valve yet, the cylinder has a clip ring on the ram end to remove the cylinder packing gland.
Interesting to see the speed with the original engine. Mine was a flat head Briggs and Stratton.
And horizontal, early 80s model.
.
Over a replacement that is OHV that spins at 3,600~ not 3,100~
Its close to 2 seconds difference.
Thanks for the comment.
I don’t know why, but I’ve always used my splitter in the upright position. Looks like horizontal is the way to go, especially for the small to medium stuff. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for the comment.
Lucky. When I was a kid my pops would go down the hill and cut the wood then I'd haul it up and between a hammer and a 5lb wedge we'd split it up and burn all winter. I'm 43 now and my back still hurts thinking about it.Come to think of it, they switched to baseboard heat when I moved out. He's 84 now and too old to haul up the ravine. They do keep some wood around incase of power outage though.
I enjoy my work out. Feel good splitting logs > Getting your muscles all pumped > Wrestling the Gnarly stuff is a extra work out. People pays going to the GYM, to get the work out i do REMEMBER! NO PAIN IS? NO GANE!

Hey man nice video, helped me out
Glad i could help
Awesome video. Can you put an attachment on it where it would cut it in four different ways.
I have the same splitter. I'm in the process of converting it to electric start using and old riding mower engine and wiring. Getting lazy in my old age
Nothing wrong with a little help, i could use that setup my self lol.
Wonder, in a pinch, if you could open a can of beans with that splitter?
Hello Kevin I have the same splitter do you know what size axle for new tires
Edward, thanks for watching but sorry i don't know
👍😎
And them log splitter are the real thing to have for the old guys like me....CHEERS
Me to Gator.
I have not seen a single video on TH-cam, dealing with wood-splitters and feeding them with wood which is notoriously difficult to split by hand. 'Nice' (untwisted fibres) wooden pieces are routinely used in the demonstrations, blocks which can (in principle) be split using my FISKARS maul (though it takes its time). Before I doff my hat to anyone, I want to see the application of any techniques to scots-pine blocks, say, at least 60cm long and 50cm in diameter, knotty, and twisted.
Very helpful! We had a friend cut a tree down for us and left it in large rounds. Neither my husband or I could ever split them manually so considering renting one. Your demo made it seem doable. What do you think
You can do it for sure if you don't want the wood you can sale it to pay the rent thanks for the comment.
Good day Kevin! I was curious how much wood from the load you had in the trailer would equal out to? Would that been equivalent to a quarter cord or half of cord? Thanks in advance for the reply.👍
I would say little more than a quarter of a cord. Thanks for the comment BIGTEX.
ah man i miss that smell of fresh cut wood helping my grandpa in the summer with the wood splitter would make you sweat bad man i miss splitting wood
Safety first you will stay warm this winter.
how long roughly does it take you to work through one trailer load?
Jeff, I would say about an hour.
Дровокол хорош ,слов нет, но чтобы полено пузом не держать надо столик приделать.
I just gone and built me a splitter that's that darn powerful that, if you don't read the grain right and you stick it in the splitter wrong, then... well, poor log!
cool good job
@@Robinson-Homestead Ha, I just found two pieces of wood that stopped it dead in its tracks today… Pride comes before a fall, that’s for sure!
Would have liked to see some bigger logs split. Like 18-24 inches.
Next time for sure Ricky thank you for watching.
just go to Stodoys if you'd like to make it yourself.
Thank you for the comment Jessica.
If this machine is 20 years old mine has to be 40 years lol
Must be in coal country. That's where that yellow "plastic tarp" came from. It's actually brattice used in coal mines.
You are right Shane thanks for the comment.
I can see myself swinging an axe splitting a little wood then turning to the camera and saying, "My momma didn't raise no fool" then firing up the log splitter.
Perhaps wearing safety goggles would have been a good idea. Maybe not, but better safe than sorry.
A "Monster Maul" works better than an axe!
Thats right Thomas.
Gloves or at least ear plugs....
Thanks for the comment
Used to split all your wood with a hatchet? Come on! I have problems with a maul or a sledge and wedges. A hatchet?
I'm sorry I meant a axe.
Haha that's not much better! I've been working on a piece of oak for a half an hour with a sledge and wedge, I think it might win!
@@hubster4477 Not if you bring it over to Kevin’s splitter it won’t!
I’ve got some big ass logs. Not looking forward to it. Cutting them up was a bitch enough.
Why on earth would anyone put their hand on the end of the log your splitting????
You would be surprised LOL.
is nice when you have big belly to hold the log
Thanks for watching.
You might have to invest in one Fred?
My 8 year old daughter runs the lever all the time, I just make sure my hands are clear before she starts the ram
Cool never too early to get them helping.
I hate a noisy gasoline engine! Log splitters and Chainsaws. You can hear them for miles away. YOUR STAND RITE AT IT! GOING DEAF. If i was going to get one? It would be with a electric motor. Some time i need a log splitter, cause of the weather? Make me push harder! I don't have the time to WRESTLE with the Gnarly stuff > Plus some times that all i got to work with. Study the log, where the weakest spot are? That where i use my maul, once i get it busted. I use my axe >> For me that the hardest thing about log splitting. IS? The Gnarly stuff. it does wears me out Wrestling them around side to side > I GET MY BLOOD PUMPING AND GO TO TOWN ON IT > Take a break go right back to town on it > LIKE A BOXER> 12 rounds and i'am done
