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 “what breaks when using this machine” he replied “the wood”! I have not had one problem using it and highly recommend it.
that is very quick at 39 seconds into video someone ran past at warp speed almost seemed like you should have edited or at least directed him to walk in slow motion to account for the speed you are filming
I split spruce because that is what grows where we live…………….
with the splitter I made it can be easier to split the stick ACROSS the grain than with it!
You’d think with a machine that powerful they might put a little taller wedge on there to prevent double throws, and might hire a guy to demonstrate that isn’t easily distracted LOL
I own one and have split 5 cords of white oak, 10 cords of maple, 2 cords of Black locust, 1 cord of Elm and about 25 cords of Fir and have not come across anything that it cannot split. If it stalls, you just drop the handle, let it return and fire back through it. I can split a cord in about 45 minutes.
THIS MACHINE IS THE SHIT the people all over you tube cant use fast enough or safely never touch ends of log. and roll log and get free splits and you make 1/3 better time. I split 300 cords myself in one summer 4 days a week.
The guy claims that if you stall the flywheels out (it’s a rack and pinion style driving mechanism instead of a hydraulic ram) that you can just pull the ram back and drive it again but I don’t know either. My question for you though is why would you want to split spruce? Throw some elm or nasty beech on there and lets see what she’s got.
What’s the rush? Is it a rented machine? Safety is paramount when using a machine of this force. It does no good to split a cord an hour if you lose a finger or a hand in the process…

Dern never seen a splitter that fast .I know the shorter the wood is the easier it is to split i done lots of splitting and all with a maul.
looks like too much work to me
most likely not, lol . There is no way this will go through white oak or anything with knots
