Very impressive. Best modification I’ve ever seen on box store splitter. Now you got me wanting to call my welder buddy. 👍

Great little mod for homeowners around the woodyard. 😊

3/1/24..Hello from waaay down South in New Orleans area! 1st time viewer, 👍&🛎✅️ 'd; I watch Outdoors w Morgan's, Rock Hill Farms, Eastonmade & others, all use several Manuf'd log splitters with hydraulic lifting, elevator tables to prevent operator lifting the 'rounds' up to splitter/ram area. Your unit is nice & strong, looks great! Love that manual 'stair-step' notch position design for 2 or 4 way splits. Very clever! You are very handy & innovative! Great video! Stay safe. Carry on & keep on innovating!😊👍⚙️🔧

Very good alteration. Having split a lot of firewood over th last 50 years and have a processor, saw, splitter etc. may I tentivly suugest, the machine is repositioned so you do not have to walk round it every time a couple of logs are loaded and the "taker" off person waits until the next split logs come through. then she does not have to struggle with the nearly split bits. The machine pushes them out. Well done with the four way. you could of course make a 6 way if your logs get any larger.

Nice!

I think i might weld up my old box store splitter in the same way. I do have a ruggedmade splitter with the lift arm, but the old gome depot champion splitter might get a face lift, great idea, i like the verse at the end also, never heard it before. Thanks

You maybe should have asked your helpful friendly neighbor if he would prefer the new one or not. He probably would have said no. The way I think these days is everything is being built with less or no pride at all. People cutting corners and having no respect for others or themselves. I’m happy to hear how you and your neighbors are acting the way all people should act. Peace my friend and to your neighbor friend. ✌️👍🇺🇸

Good morning, awesome video would you mind sharing the link or model number of the new wedge. I’m interested in purchasing one . Thanks.

I like what you did smart man thinking about improving your splitter and a Christian family ❤

That is to cool. I'm so doing that.

That is super cool! Almost like a homemade eastonmade if you heard of that. What was the splitter brand?

@BarSanHomestead

4 ай бұрын

Thanks, yes it is really cool. The brand is SpeeCo Split Master 25 ton from Princess Auto. Its a great little splitter and works really well. We've never had one issue with it.

The wing you welded on needed just a bit of draft angle and it would keep your firewood splits from hanging up underneath as much.

vertical splitting ? great for small work

The only mod you are missing is the log lift. I would really put a cage around the engine. Can't get good Honda engines anymore and they work like a champ forever.

for relieve splitter weight, put a spring

Pretty good man, 👍 i like the manual hieght adjust for the 4 way, is there a way to lock the handle into place? Like with a clip pin from a trailer hitch? If u accidently bump handle with a round or lean on it wrong, could some one get some fingers pinched? Like if it released the wedge an it dropped? Just wondering, good welding

Cant tell from the sped up video. The real rpms the engines turning at. But i ganed a good bit of speed going from a old flat head Briggs engine turning about 3,000rpm. To a more modern ohv engine turning about 3,600rpm Took the round trip of ram from around a 18 second trip to a 14 second round trip. . One side affect is fluid heat. It doesn't get over the point thats bad for hydraulics, but it gets above the temperature that you can safely touch.

i have not timed the cycle time on this one but its not bad, i get slower so it seems faster , thanks for watching!

you don't need an eastonmade when you've got skill. and time.

Maybe the tailer should have control of the multi splitter, because she can see where the quarter size better than the feeder. I don't know??

went to the internet and looked at them, i could not afford one of those for all the wood we need personally , but it would be a great machine . we are plenty happy with ours and it cost a hole lot less even with our mods!

I am really hoping that you both wear the necessary PPE when you are splitting. Ear and eye protection. back brace and gloves too. such things would encourage those who might not be inclined to use PPE to do so. I always wear PPE that i mentioned when splitting wood.

Not sure why you covered up the brand name. People might be interested in buying one if they like the performance you show in your video.
