I am 65, have a 30 acre woodlot and have split over 100 cords using this machine. Very fast and good for the average size I split which is around 16". Up to 30" is about my limit which requires me to use the tractor bucket to raise to the spliting table. When I asked the maker of the machine "So, what breaks when using this machine" he replied "the wood"! I have not had one problem using it and highly recommend it. Funny how you don't see any second hand ones for sale.

I doubt that would work on hardwoods...I cant see it doing oak or hickory that easily or quickly.

[Arkstrikle]

hydralic splitters takes 2 hours to do 1 cord.

that splitter could be a tad dangerous if u put your hand in wrong place its to fast so it could gimp your hand up if not carefull.

[richardday]

Good idea, but it seems too easy to get a finger between the log and the blade!

[Grugger66]

This splitter does work well. I've used one to split beech, maple, birch, oak and ash. It's actually almost too fast...kinda' dangerous if you're not paying attention.

[triedit101]

Not bad, if you have some nice easy-to-split wood. I would like to see a foot pedal

maybe. Seems safe, you can stop the cycle if you can get to that lever in time.

I'd like to see how it performs on some stringy, knotty elm... If it splits elm like it splits oak, then I'll be impressed.

[kitfoxflyer]

@xlr82v2 -- yahf no kidding -- i just uploaded my splitter in action

[StumpAway]

Well its fast, I give it that!

[sasop117]

so simple but so good

[Skipper72Productions]

my 30 ton hydrolic slpiter is acculy pretty fast

[MrMom4]

The price is about twice that of hyd last time i looked last year.

No vertical that i seen.

[CondorFlanagan]

This is very impressive on American sotwood pine, but how would it go with Australian Hardwood?

[snogelplunderdop]

i second that

[kathump2]

You guys don't know anything. Hardwood splits so much easier than softwood. Softwood gets stringy and doesn't split as easily

[kinghowie8]

well some hard wood splits easy until u get wood so hard that u cant even stick the axe into

[daw162]

Not as well on a bunch of jarrah as this, I'm sure, but that's not pine. It's oak. It is, though, a nice splitting and nice burning wood.

I was hoping for a crotch or a big piece of knotted hickory. I'm guessing it would stop it, but it's good at what it's good for. Much more efficient than hydraulics.

[Fentanyl3]

@CondorFlanagan Thats hardwood they are splitting, it's also been my experience, that some of the hardest woods split very easy

[telosfd]

Realy nice you can create a vertical version

with hydraulic presour!

[tjaquish]

Where are they sold and how does the price compare to a hyd type?

[topbanana188]

watch those hands

[pizzajiffy]

All logs have to be the same size! That might be a pain.
