DK2 Kinetic Splitter Splitting Big Oak Rounds For Firewood.

Today I'll be showing you what a kinetic splitter can do against 24''-30'' Big Red Oak rounds. Will it have enough power? Guess we'll find out today. Hope you guys like the videos and hope to see you on the next one.

    I was 100% one of those guys with that same mentality. I bought a box store hydraulic splitter over the kinetic one. I regret my decision every time I fire the kinetic splitter up. Just thinking about how much time and money I would have saved. The knotty stuff I split into thirds or quarters and sell to a wood burner guy anyways so I really don’t have knots to split.

    I have a DR k22 wich is a 22 ton equivalen kinetic spliter with a 3 second cycle rate. It will split just about anything I can get up on the table, I even made a electric winch Crane out of 2" Galvanized steel pipe and a 3000 lb winch To drag and lift rounds I can't by hand. Very seldom do I run into a knotty piece that I give up on. Anyone talking shit about a kinetic splitter has either never used one or at least never used a good one..

    I’ve split countless cords with it. The only weak point I’ve found is the belt. Had to replace them 3 times so far but they are fairly cheap so I really can’t complain. I used it for about a year and a half straight with big nasty stuff small nice stuff. No mercy on it trust me lol. I have an eastonmade axis now so I don’t use it much anymore. I will be soon though with my new setup. Oh and also I’ve had to replace some bolts on it with American made bolts cuz the ones that are on it are Chinese metal. Stripping and always loosening but after I did that no issues whatsoever

    I really haven't split much with it recently as I got my Eastonmade axis in a few months back. I can say for the time I did use it almost every day its an awesome splitter very strong for a kinetic and well worth the money for the amount of wood you can produce with it. It is a very dangerous machine though goes a lot faster with 2 people running it and the precision splits you can get with 2 people running it. Just make sure whoever running the lever is someone you can trust lol. I'd 100% buy it again and have no reason to believe it wouldn't hold up in the long run. I will be putting back in service pretty soon with another video with it also.

    When i watch someone split on a kinetic splitter i fear for their safety! It looks so dangerous. However, when i split on my Super Split that fear is not present, i guess because i see it from the users perspective. I get hurt occasionally by wood the flips up or hits me in the nuts but my fear when watching is always concern for hand injuries. However, i feel very comfortable when splitting that my hands are safe and in no danger. Strange.

    First, where is the second hand safety? Second why are you dropping the wood on the ground and then picking it up to stack? Instead leave it in the bucket and work without bending over. Third....I wanted to see some knarled oak being split. This was all straight grain. Last, I take it all the wood you split is dry when split?

    Always room for improvements And no wood is split when unseasoned like 90% of the time. May post a video of the kinetic vs rough stuff when I find some.
