We miss you Chuckee!!! So great to see you. An old subscriber back again to see an old friend.

couple things I've done to speed up cycle time's, you have a 24 inch cylinder and mostly 16-18 inch wood so a bolted or welded on return stop for the knife so you don't have to have the cylinder return completely.....secondly the nature of the design, securing the end of the cylinder greatly prevents the ram from flexing, bringing it down to 2 ft from 4ft on your cylinder clevis distance, a bolt on strap (heavy metal) that goes on over the end of the cylinder basically where the rod comes out.

Holy shit chuckee, your still around I miss your content I've learned a lot from your videos.

So this splitter had the flimist possible hydraulic cylinder installed when I bought it, which I promptly bent and ruined. I replaced it with a much larger cylinder which works SO much better! These are great for splitting, "not that much" wood. I used mine to split wood primarily for the shops wood stove, but due to the high "hourly" cost of operation it wouldnt be a good fit for heating a whole house constantly, especially in a northern climate. Whats really best is if you can get an ELECTRIC splitter. Thats what they use often in Europe. Cheap to run, zero carb maintenance, etc. I've seen some pretty nice "farmer built" ones for sale cheap if you're patient. They use a 3ish HP electric motor with a normal hydraulic pump usually. Just hook it to 220v power like a welding machine and you're set. Enjoy the video!

On the topic of the injection pump. Install a small low pressure diesel fuel pump that will act as a primary fuel pump. I have done this to my dad's tractor which had similar issues.

I Would love to see you do an “ultimate ChuckE log splitter build” with all the features you mentioned in this video!

Recorded this six months ago? ChuckE, you missed us, or at least knew we’d be back to view your videos when the time was right. Good content! 👍

Hell yeah Chuck's back

Glad you are back

Scanning the tube, and found you again. Glad to see you back.

Great video ChuckE could you do an updated equipment tour?

Gr8 to see you back Lance. Made my day bud. My zetor 7211 sips fuel. Unreal for such a big 🚜. Faster? Get a splitter that splits on the return stroke as well.

I've got a up right 3 point splitter I use behind a 6211 zetor,eliminates the lifting of the wood.helps out a 66year old feller alot.

I’ve had one like yours, a bigger one and a small one. Loved them all!!

I'm glad to see you again. It has been a long time since I've seen a video of your. Don't know what happened but glad to see that you are all right.

I’m glad you are back I missed your videos

Oh man im so happy to see your back, this is the beat

Great to have you back

I missed the in Chucky’s face and up his nose style video. Love real life experience and advise.

Glad your back!

Very well spoken, been thinking about doing the same thing with my John Deere 3010 thank you for the info.

Thanks

$20 for 7 gallons of diesel! I remember those distant days.

Welcome back dude. I've missed your videos.

Great video! Super informative and extremely relevant

Cool stuff man, thanks for the content

Diesels changed the world as we know it and will continue to put in work for a long time to come. Electricity, Not even once. 😂 We use the same setup to split wood for my Father-In-law every year. 👍💪

The Zetor is a pretty good light-medium duty tractor.

He's ,Baaaaack! Thanks Chuckie!👍😉

Blast from the past. I literally put the same battery cut off in the same spot on my Zetor 6211 after seeing your video on it years ago.

I would probably have a three point Splitter if I hadn't bought a electric Splitter from harbor freight. Now I know what everyone is going to say but I had borrowed one and was very impressed with it. I used it on some wood at my father in laws and he bought one cuz it impressed him!! So then I bought one . I think we probably have split 20 to 30 cord between us , mostly on mine . I have split up to 2' rounds , yes two foot! With that said I do use lodge pole pine and Douglas Fir so they are not the hardest to split . But still thinking about making one for the tractor. Great video .

Hreat to see again. I have been subd to you since you were in high school. I have a lot of love and respect for you. You have grown up in to a fine Christian man and husband. God Bless!!

Yes 👍

You need a buschjost valve, it'll give you good flow when you don't need pressure, as it connects rod and piston side. If the wedge meets the wood, pressure increases immediately. Works a lot faster

Welcome back Lance, been gone to long

CHUCKE!!!! What's up. I just found your new channel. Was wondering what happened to the ole chuckster but I found you again thanks to Steven Cox

Glad to see you back. What tractors do you have now?

One less thing to maintain. That's why I opted for a home grown tractor splitter.

Good video chucky miss seeing ur video's

ChuckE2009.. The key to splitting those larger logs, is to split them along the outer edge, just like you would with a maul --- that way the smaller piece will peel off of the side of the main stump. So you'll likely need to weld on a small side table, so that your stump can sit off center, without falling on the ground.. That thing will split anything-- you just have to stop trying to split it right down the middle.. But you would actually be much better off just buying that "vehicle mounted screw splitter" (that's what it's called)--- I'm sure you have seen them before. You're supposed to remove a rear tire of your diesel pickup and mount it there and you can split all day. But instead, you could just mount an axle behind your trailer and run it with the PTO. It's a bit pricey at around $300--- but those things just WORK. You could sell this slower splitter to help pay for it.

Good 👍 to see you again chucke2009 I remember the case tractor how is the case running?

You still have the old zetor!!

I use to have a 3-point splitter that would split both ways. It would work a man to death. Lol

sorry chucky but i build a 20 ton log splitter 5 yrs ago with a 5hp honda engine on it it takes less than 2 gallons of fuel to split 8 cord of oak and rock maple hardwood firewood and i haven't had to replace anything.even tho our gas is over 7.00 a gal its still a bargain, no one here uses tractor driven splitters any longer it just doesn't make sense to run a tractor all day to do a job a 5hp motor will do with ease.love your channel dude always have but i disagree with you on this one.lol and i never have carb issues i burn top grade fuel and when i am done for the year i shut the fuel off run the engine carb dry and drain the fuel out and put it in something else like my snow blower. 3 point hitch splitters do have their place but for a home owner like me this works best in my situation, I own a tractor but still use a stand alone unit.

Hi Chuck I am new to your channel and I like what I see I hope you keep the videos coming. What part of the country are you in?

Great video. Wondering does that ram have equal power pulling as pushing? Have seen splitters that split on the pull cycle so not waisting half a cylinder cycle? Great stuff!

@scottmcbride5514

Ram cylinders never have the same power pushing vs pulling, They always push with more power, and return with more speed. It comes down to the area of the piston, on the push side the area is just the size cylinder, pi(r)^2, on the pull side it is the area of the cylinder less the area of the rod, therefore always less area, always less power on the pull. This assumes the valving on design is the same.

💯

If you would make the wedge closer to the end of the point the log would split the log apart sooner I believe

Yes you have a bad valve Zetor will fire up right away with that replaced.

🙌🙌🙌

Sounds like the Zetor could use some love in the hydraulic area is the on board pump not producing what it should? Maybe PTO pump only option. I always look forward to work on/with that Tractor

Ha read 2nd page great use of that yanmar.. you could build that up like other portables. build tank, add wheels, and put a hitch on it. you could also turn it into vertical unit. that would greatly increase production and save a great deal of labor. Stay blessed my friend.

IF YOU DON'T OWN A OPEN LOT OF LAND TO STORE A LARGE TRACTOR OR THE MONEY TO OWN MAYBE THEN BUT I DON'T I OWN A SPEEDCO 22 TON SPLITTER WITH A SMALL GAS MOTOR AND WORKS GREAT AND I PUT UP 20 SINGLE CRD EVERY YEAR WITH NO PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 35 YEARS

Are these new videos are re-uploaded from the old channel?

Screw type log splitter works pretty good torque is crazy

Did you ever build your super splitter? I remember talking to you about a dump truck cylinder on marketplace then running the math and talking you out of it.

thanks again for that by the way, it's a small world! Unfortunately no, although I have a bunch of pieces for it from various other things that I've saved. problem is the cheaper commercial splitter does the job which I'm thankful for, but this makes it hard to budget time and energy to build a mega ultra diy one:/

@@officialweldingfarmingarch2041 I agree I've got about all the parts to build one but is it worth the effort to use a few hours a year. I figure a standard 4-5" cylinder with a 6-8" piggy backed for extra force as needed would give speed and power without a high GPM.

Hiya

Could a 22.5 hp run one of these? 6 inch cylinder I think. I know nothing on this subject

@officialweldingfarmingarch2041

yes, easily. lots just use 212cc clone motors

Nine hours for a cord and a half of wood? Put that on the Kubota!

Is this the real chuckE!?🙂

I'm with you on the seasonal equipment with small gasoline engines, I hate them.

$20 a day dosnt mean much if your only making 1.5cords a day. $ vs cords means more.

If a small engine is stored correctly, it would cost nothing other than fuel when running. A two stage pump will split just about any wood you can lift.

Junk!

Thanks
