Me too sam. Hard to believe how dangerous some of them are.

I would like to see this man using gloves that would protect his hands from all the wood slivers.

I like the red and blue one

The Farmi model at the end looks a suave machine! Best one there by a country mile, I like the single action of the ram where it not only pushes the log up but also splits the one before. Top job Farmi and they deserve to have their own channel. No dealer out here that I know of.

Nice machines!

i enjoyed seeing the different machines. i burned wood to heat my house for about 20 years and did it all by hand with just a couple of chainsaws, splitting maul. axes, sledge hammer and a wedge sometimes. i didn't need a machine but i was only doing it for my own home. i used to get a lot of my wood when we would clear for our power lines at the light department i worked for and i would also buy a grapple load sometimes. i don't burn anymore, too much work, too messy and i'm too old.

Hi Steve, we started burning wood to heat our house about 45 years ago like you using a chainsaw and a felling axe then a splitting maul, rarely a wedge and a sledge hammer. About 20 years ago I started working as a volunteer with our local council, I could then choose what wood we got, wood without knots and the best for burning. 4 years ago we invested in a quality log splitter, this machine has been a boon for us. I'm 78, not sure how much longer we will be able to make our own fire wood, bought in stuff is usually rubbish in our experience. Is that a kelpie at 2:56?? We had a kelpie rescue dog along with 7 other rescue dogs over the years, you cannot beat a kelpie. Of course I cannot be sure as we've had 9 different rescues nearly all different breeds except two German shepherds, only one kelpie, fantastic dog!!

@@davidturner8689 I agree that safety has to be a priority. I have seen a lot of things happen in during my relatively young 34 years here on Earth. I was running a conventional log splitter in the vertical position with my girl friend operating it recently. I was knelt down and I went to get up and slipped into the log splitter. I put my arm up to save myself and it was between the metal beams that knock the wood off and the wedge was on the way back. So if the wedge was closer, I could have gotten my arm stuck in it and I do not even want to guess what it would have done to my forearm. Part of it was awareness as well. I think safety is often overdone to demonstrate compliance but it does have a very important role with machinery.

that wood looks like it’s been drying for 3 years. I could probably use my hand to karate hop and I’d get the same results. No wonder it splits so easily. Do that with freshly cut wood and I’ll be impressed

I liked the setup at about 10:40 it had a screw cone to split down the stem wood which could then go through the spiral sheer with that splitting wedge built in. The ones that seem to use differentials reverse driven by the PTO off a tractor or electric motor are my favorite.

I can’t get over the fact that most people who split firewood, pick it up off of the ground split it let it fall to the ground and then pick it up again. Once it comes up off the ground it shouldn’t go back down again, figure out a system.

@@urbanbengtsson2500 Yes, that does happen and it’s not important when you’re young. It does dawn on people once they mature. In my estimation based on life experience, people are under the impression that because they use wood for a heat source in many cases but not all, that it’s inexpensive and they are saving money . Even if you have a plot of land where you can harvest trees, nothing is free. Studies have been done to see if the effort and time spent in a different direction earning money would be better than everything involved with assuring yourself do you have enough wood for the winter. I’m quite aware of the fact that some people use it as supplemental heat or for a fireplace. That of course is a whole different set of circumstances and is not a money saver but probably enjoyable.

Anything you have to time your moves with is dangerous. The last one is my choice. Use a skid steer with a grapple to put 8' logs on powered rack and put a dump trailer under the chute and you could make a lot of fire wood in a short time. How big of logs can you use on that one?

None of the wood splitters shown in this video is strong enough to split the pinion wood I use. My wood splitter has a large diameter ram and is mounted on an 8 inch I beam which has bent because the pressure needed to split some pieces of pinion is so great.

The vtree huggers will love this video ! As well as the Carbon neutral people.

14:47 I'd like to put my big brothers head it that.

Some of these guys are not being careful during operation. Too much taken for granted. I worked with 90-ton punch presses years ago, and there's a point where you can get a little complacent and lose a finger or even a hand when not enough attention is paid. I'd have nightmares about losing a hand. Made me careful next morning.

Nothing particularly dangerous about those cone screw, or "unicorn" type splitters - they're just old technology. Gravely used to offer one of those log splitters to attach to their L series two-wheel tractors. They faded from use when the hydraulic units came around in the Seventies.

Hydraulic splitters have always seemed overly complicated to me. I really like 2:40. 7:30 looks good too, but I wonder how long it stays sharp. 8:30 is wonderful with human power, though I think a counterweight would work better than a spring. Any machine can be dangerous. Common sense goes a long ways toward safe operation.
