@AsktheBuilder: a good point about the rotator cuff, but isn’t that what kids, grandkids, (families) are for?
I vote maul and more family woodcuttings!
my grandpa has the same one iv used it and its a very nice machine
I’ve inherited an old 20ton craftsman splitter, but there’s no manual, so I’ve been playing it by ear when I use it. The operation’s pretty easy – it’s mostly the care and maintenance that I’m concerned about.
Any suggestions?
And why did it squirt 1/2 gallon of hydraulic fluid out the release valve when I first used it? (I wasn’t the one who filled it, so I have no idea how much was in the reservior).
BTW – when it comes to gnarly oak y-joints – 20ton splitters rock!
Would`nt it be more practical, to have an adjustable knife, placed in the other end? This machine should be strong enough to cut to cut the logs in four pieces….
Love the Videos keep them coming
It produces 27tons of pressure. I’d say it will do it. Rent one and see before you buy one.
hi could any1 who knows tell me, if this can split coconut tree log,they harder as rubber.thanx
Cool, I spilit lotta of wood. only way to do it is with a splitter. Firewood prices should follow oil — up 400% in ten years — I WISH
sorry your very wrong by saying they are worthless, if you have real wood that needs splitting, like bases of trees that are over a foot an a half wide they are worth there weight in gold
You Cut the wood
we buy them
we use them
thats 1 hell of a Machine i Tell ya
You missed the point. Some people *can’t* use a maul for all sorts of reasons. Perhaps they have a torn rotator cuff. However, they can push the lever. You have to open your mind as to the fact that not everyone has your skills or abilities.
Real Men Vs. Lazy people Ive do about 8 cords by hand with a maul ever year.
Because some people can’t……
I’m just curious… Not to be a dick or anything, but if you’re physically fit enough to go saw rounds and stack them like that, why can’t you split them with the maul? Don’t get me wrong, they’re convenient, but a little pricey if you ask me. Well, that’s my peice, good video! Cheers!
Well you have good reason to be concerned (that’s a lot of pressure), but if this product wasn’t safe, you would have heard about it by now. I honestly think your chances of getting hurt are extremely low when you’re following the safety rules and guidelines in the owner’s manual.
Some people can’t lift and swing a maul, but they can operate the pole. You need to realize not everyone is as talented as you are.
and now i will still stick to a maul! these things are worthless and time consuming, by the time ya get even a half cord done with one of these i’d be done with my half and sleeping 2 hours already!
I love those!
i want one for road rage purposes haha
For those experienced with log-splitters, how many hours does it take to split a cord once you get the hang of it?
Hydraulic failure means a little oil flow. Because it doesn’t compress very much, the oil flow should be minimal, and the oil isn’t very hot. It’s not as if the cylinder is going to explode. Failure usually occurs at hose ends.
Exactly. I don’t think he understands how safe hydraulics can be.
I have a 30 ton Northstar and it works great, I split a cord a week. T bird can split that by hand and then see who has it easier.
Why do you say that? It’s just a time-tested hydraulic ram that you would find on hundreds of thousands of pieces of heavy equipment such as backhoes, bulldozers, aerial ladders, utility-company bucket trucks, etc. What’s more, car mechanics work under this technology everyday!
i dont think id wanna be that close 2 anything under 27 tons of pressure what a design flaw
