@aadoublea I don't know about green wood. The stuff we cut in the mountains is dry. Tamarack and Red fir. I typically use this smaller machine for kindling. I make a pile that lasts for a month in about 30 minutes. The big stuff goes through my 30 ton hydraulic. Of the hundreds of screw type vids I've watched, just a few will handle the big stuff like tractor mounted.

I tried to copy your design but mine is just not powerful enough. I have a 6.5 Lifan(Honda Clone) engine with 11 n.m or 8 ft-lbs of torque. I have a 1.75 inch pulley and a 14 inch. My splitter is just not powerful enough to split green wood over 8" diameter. Screw speed is 450 rpms. Will yours split green wood? I can't find a pulley over 14 inches without spending mega bucks. Guess I'll have to buy the 13hp Lifan engine with 23 ft-lbs. Any other tips for me? Thanks for posting your vid!

Hello Mr. Fishbone. I've watched every single video on youtube about these screw splitters and yours is the only one that runs off of a gas small engine. I figured I could just copy your design. I have a 14 inch and a 1and 3/4 inch pulley running on a 6.5 Lifan(Honda Clone) engine. It has 11 nm torque or about 8 ft-lbs. 14 divided by 1/3/4 is 8. 3600 divided by 8 is 450 rpms at the screw. My splitter will split smaller wood but nothing green over lets say 10 inches in diameter.

Ooo, just seen the screw speed, my bad. Still interested in hp though, cheers..

That's a great looking splitter, nice job, just what I'm thinking of putting together. What hp motor are you running? And what about shaft speed at the screw?
