No safety shut off. Just have to be careful. My father, brother and my self have used these for years with no injuries (knock on wood). I did get my glove sucked in with the log once,l just hurt for a minute but done no damage. Just like anything else there is a degree of hazard you just need to pay attention.

is that bolted to a truck??? and when you mean the rpms can be raised you rev the engine??

[thaxboyd]

Yes bolted to a truck. That is much slower than I normally run it. That was at idle and I usually run it at around 1500 rpm at the engine. This summer I want to convert it to a hydraulic motor with about a 10 horse Honda running a pump. Seems silly to have a V8 running all them hours

nifty setup but I'll take a good ol maul with a fiberglass handle over it anyday. No gas required and I can split circles around your setup.

[thaxboyd]

LOL, You must be a big burly dude....

[thaxboyd]

Is that a statement or a question. If it is a question then you are not very bright, why would anyone use anything that took all day to split one piece.

If it is a statement (which it is as written) then I would assume you are commenting that it takes you all day to split one piece, therefore you should be embarrassed to call yourself a lumberjack.

I'm halfway through watching this and thinking "I could have split it into quarters by now with a maul".

[polishdickhead]

Hmmm, I'll use a 175 hp vehicle to split wood. I'll take the tire off it and put a screw on it. Then I'll put logs on an unstable platform and split them with thisse here spinning screw. I'll fight with the wobbly mess until it bashes me with a piece. Then I'll figure out how bad I'm hurt and how to take the screw off and put the tire back on while bleeding like hell. Then drive to hospital. And pass a few stores with hydraulic splitters that cost a fraction of the bill I'm gonna have.

Why do all the women watching this grin and blush a little??

@yellojeeper bullshit

купите у меня конус бур резьбовой и соберите такой же дровокол или даже круче 89501928030

How much force (torque) does it take to do this, the log doesn't move much if its any indicator.

[jackpot5283]

@thaxboyd I am only 180lbs now but I used a maul and wedge setup daily when I was 15ish made a pretty penny splitting wood once your body is conditioned for swinging a mans hammer it really isnt too much since the hammer does most of the work. With that said I still like the concept it doesn't seem anymore dangerous than a hydraulic splitter since the danger does not come from the machine it comes from the operator not paying attention.

[bdorosz]

i would rather shoot myself in the nuts then operate one of those things

[brodie1709]

@buckbuckaroo1 ever see on of those big wheeles with a blade on it, you stick the log up to the wheel and a big axe head like blade slams into the wood and splits it. very very dangrous

[norcallogger]

@yellojeeper yeah but how tired will you be after you split for a few hours this thing is a time saver

[norcallogger]

@Livs4pow you would be surpriese that thig is pretty fast ive used it one and i had the same thoght but it really works

[edekgumiok]

Dobrą siekierą bym to szybciej zrobił :P
