I live in northwest Pennsylvania. And i heat my house with wood. I deal with red and white oak rounds. Typically in that 16-24in diameter. I wonder if this 8ton splitter would be enough to take them on.

I love watching you split wood with that split fire

Good job. I curious how and why your log delivery guy halved or quartered some of the logs.

Nice video as usual! I have a Kioti tractor as well, 65hp really like it, I sold the same ford tractor like yours.. What kind of grapple is that ?

I’m looking at a hakki palki 45 pro. That log lift is bad ass!!

For the price of the machine its great but always able to improve

Great modification. I hope they are watching!

Very nice addition to your other mods . Hopefully spitfire is paying attention ..👍🏻🇺🇸

good vid dood!!!

Me interesa esta Máquina un contacto donde las venden? Gracias

Very kool idea .. more functional than the foot pedal... I like it!!

It is looking like splitfire should have sent you a pre-production machine to get input.

Looks great!

Very impressive for a homeowner grade splitter. It definitely fills a void in the market between what the average homeowner needs in a vertical splitter versus the industrial/commercial grade machines from companies like Wolfe Ridge and Eastonmade.

I heard from a fellow UA-camr that they are getting an 1165V with a FACTORY option sinilar to yours instead of the foot pedal that most vertical splitters use. Is supposed to be available as a retrofit kit once Split-Fire releases it. Am surprised how fast this splitter is. If was doing firewood only for myself for campfires and such, this is the splitter I would get.

You beat us to the punch! And you made something VERY similar to our prototype. We are planning on calling the control a 'knee control.' We are going to include a cushion for the knee and are also trying to integrate a cable instead of a linkage system. Yours is also a bit higher than we would mount ours. We think the knee control is safer then a foot control, especially after seeing foot control operators freeze up when their hand gets caught(causing more damage). With the knee control, we are hoping that the operator can escape the danger much faster, or avoid it all together. We are close to finishing up, the only major task that remains is testing the components real world function and safety. Overall, you have done a great job. Excellent fab work, and congratulations for beating us at our own game!

Very cool!

Good job. Hopefully Splitfire will take some pointers!

That’s an awesome splitter and your modifications make it even better, keep up the good work!

awesome! I hope the folks at Split-Fire see this video and get some ideas! Thanks for sharing this! The more I see this little splitter the more I like it. My only concern is that I regularly deal with large, tree-service wood and I'd like to be able to work with a 30" round on the splitting table. Is it easy to remove that bumper/guard on the front? (if so, then I could put larger rounds on there, just overhang a few inches)

Well done! If there was a dealer close to me I would buy one.

Nicely done Sir!! I get so tired of "gotta have a foot pedal or it's junk" this is absolutely ingenious!!

That’s a game changer buddy. Sorry to hear about your foot but stoked you figured out how to adapt. Made that splitter even better. Have a great day bud God Bless 👍

You sir are a genius , this is a very affordable verticals splitter . Awesome video !

Nice design. More efficient and safer

Nice they really should have made it so your hands are free. Even better that you figured out how not to use your foot

It’s good to make it your own machine! Well done brother!

good vid dood!!!

very smart

Derek, those are some awesome modifications. Glad you’re still enjoying the splitter. Stay safe 👍TCT

I’m so glad you creating content featuring this splitter. Keep up the great videos👍

Very interesting, that’s a great design. When I ordered mine they said they were looking into something different. I was thinking the same for the hitch it’s too low, good job on that.

Good job! Simple but works good. Does it feel more or less safe with the new control?

I think you’re the only one I’ve found on UA-cam with this vertical 1165, thanks for all the info very helpful!

Your new splitter would make kindling quicker you can imagine. Use the round squaring system for great results...

If you were looking for speed you should have got a kinetic spliter.

I like the cycle time, probably due to the small diameter cylinder. Perfect for what it is , but experience is essential due to distance from hands to blade so NO distractions or speaking with operator when working.

That splitter is awesome i just dont like how high the lever is. I wish they did a foot pedal or something

Awesome. Thanks for posting this!

How is oak to split compared to beach or elm ?

How much is shipping?

Thanks for posting these videos!! Making me rethink my long term plans/goal to get a 17VS (wolf ridge) If you ever get a chance to put some fresh cut Oak rounds, maybe 20-24" in diameter through it I'd be really interested to see how it does.

At first I was going to guess a little bit less than 15 minutes and 13 seconds 😁

I almost pulled the trigger on ordering one like 2 weeks ago but talked myself out of it…these videos are making me second guess my decision. Haha..keep up the great work bud. 👍

Impressive, looks like they really hit the mark with this machine.

Looks like you’ve got your system dialed in.

Pull that trailer ahead a bit .

You lost me at about 4:00 when the canned music started

That’s quick!!

Plenty of speed and power and I like the price point they sell for . Hopefully I get to see one at one of the upcoming logging shows this yr
