i'm thinking of picking up JBL SRX835P + SRX818SP Bundle. would you still recommend ?! or maybe something better? thanks !!!!

Your buddy is smart, you on the other hand, well, you already know

Cormier Fall

Keep it covered OR maybe inside a building….!

I have the exact same splitter and from what I can tell, the engine is seized up. I’ve only used about four times, oil levels are good and don’t even look used for that matter. Anyone have suggestions?

you gotta be smarter than the tool you're working with ........

Expensive equipment I NEVER leave outside. I have the exact splitter and love it!

I have total 3 hrs,on my 25 ton splitter,kohler 6.5 SH series,kept inside when not in use,NO SPARK

You need to take better care of your tools. No excuse for letting the engine sit out in the rain.

I bought same splitter 5 years ago. never an issue. I keep it in my barn. you wonder why it works poorly and you store it outside? not to bright.

Your not really serious idiot

Same wing nut set up on every old car that had an air filter over right over the carb... but it was never an issue cuz cars have hoods... I wonder if covering your new piece of equipment would work? You know like taking proper care of it? You even say it yourself too. shouldnt need a cover for a $1000 splitter. Well it a $1000, not 30k wood processor. Put a cover on it hahah

Cheaper fix to think about. Buy a different wing nut thats not sheet metal. Put a rubber oring under it & put a rubber sheath on the thread or dielectric grease. And or a trash bag over the engine

Kohler engineers are dick heads I agree. I have the 30 ton with a Kohler 9.5. If you run it full throttle like the manual says to do, it overheats after about 25 minutes, starts surging, and goes down. Run 2/3 throttle and it does fine. Also this damn thing desperately needs a hydraulic oil cooler. If a hose ever breaks you're toast, boiled bacon, fried meat, The exhaust port can get rained in also, so I keep a rubber tarp on it all the time [commercial rubber roofing material is wonderful as a tarp]. Mine is 3 years old. Valves always seemed clattery. Adjusted valve clearance and got no change. Give me a Briggs engine any time. A pressurized lube system, electric start, and better engine and hydraulic cooling is needed for sure.

Dude cover it !

12:54 … 3 years later and now look at this mess. Inflation, gas prices, and interest rates are through the roof! 😮 And you want to complain about a tiny tariff on your 🇨🇳 fixture… 🙄

Nice find

Covering it with absolutely anything would help, even if it’s just a garbage bag over the motor. Don’t dog out the splitter company for being an idiot.

THE RIKOUE HAS AN ANIMATION WHEEL?! COOL

Imrelax makes a PHENOMENAL LED CMY 380w moving head!

So the hotspot is BAD on your Riukoe fixture...but I work with the LED versions that have a much flatter field. The brightness is definitely less, but the quality of that color system is VERY good!

Tractor supply keeps.leaving these things outside in front of the store. I want to buy one but only if its still in the shipping shrink wrap.

At least its not a Kohler Command Pro, those are absolute hot garbage. I feel your pain its a poor Honda gx knockoff. Honda has the same design, rubber grommets and all but it differs in that the the wing nut is encased in plastic and the mounting stud has a very durable anti rust finish. I fix these units all the time and the hondas withstand all kinds of adverse conditions while the Kohler never fails to fail.

do you yell at a hammer when you smash your thumb with it. LOL

Yell at those dark clouds, tarps be damned!!! LOL

I almost remember when my machine was that clean

Store it inside. Or put a cover on it. Duh!

Kohler engines are obviously trash. Got a Oregon 30 ton splitter great splitter but it took me over an hour to get the engine going. Next day….. put a drill with 3/4 socket to turn the motor over and nothing. Edit… yes it is brand new but not brand new because it had been sitting out front of Tractor Supply for ever how long it was sitting.

Get a plastic tote. Turn it upside down and place it over your engine. Makes it water proof. You can actually take a eye bolt put it on the handle portions of the tote. Take a chain and snap hook it will hold when the wind blowing. Sometimes it's the operator. IF you get thick plastic floor mat etc. The whole thing covered. That tote you can get at a goodwill quit crying.

Put a plastic ice cream bucket on top of it dumbass…

If you can't take care of it ......don't buy it.

The motor is made in CHINA. Blame china joe and cover it up. I love mine.

Owned mine for atleast 5years never been covered or in side .never had a problem with water getting in it

Thanks a million for posting this. I was just about to go buy one...

Had a champion splitter for 2 years it’s been great

Then, there's rest of us, who've had the exact same splitter, and actually take care of it by storing it under a roof.... Yeah, 3 years, starts with first pull every time. Takes forever to move it 6 feet from open to under a roof....

It is sad this is a design flaw but thanks for letting people know about it. I have the same splitter and it’s a great machine. The final assemble and oils added was by tractor supply for mine. My biggest advice for people is INSPECT what you are buying. Don’t assume someone assembled it 100%. Check the fluid levels and check the bolts and make sure things are tight. Make sure no one has taken any of the parts off and nothing is broken. If you don’t want to check all the bolts at least take a marker or a paint pen and mark the nut/bolt lineup so if there is movement you will see it. This is not a machine you want something coming loose on you during operation. YES mine had loose bolts on it and I’m glad I check things. If you have one check your nuts and bolts and cover your motor with something. Even a wide piece of gorilla tape over the air cleaner will keep the water out. When’s the last time you checked the air filter anyways? Lol have a great day 👍🏻

Pretty sure I've seen lots of small engines designed like that. Too bad they store them outside at tractor supply. You might get a brand new unit full of water.

Turn the wing nut over

Don’t sweat the small stuff fire it up and let her eat but if your gonna cry about it do like every one says put a tarp over it or park it under shelter 🤦🏻‍♂️

You have to cover the engine up being outside

Bucket

Sounds like it needs a o-ring and a dab of gease, and a engine trap..

I just completely rebuilt my wood splitter and I'm going to use a plastic recycle bin box I'm going to flip it upside down and cover my motor that was always my intentions I had to buy a brand new motor when I rebuilt mine you can try that and it should work good tops will add up eventually but recycle bin it's a one-time deal and you can strap it down good luck

Use a tarp and save your aggravation!

Learn to take care of your equipment better and stop making videos that make you look dumb.

Same thing happened to me. rusty water coming out of the exhaust the day I brought it home from Tractor Supply. Piece of crap design.

Kohler basically copied the Subaru Boxer engine otherwise known as the XP series or the EXP series of Subaru engines. I have a few of em and love em except the Subaru's carb filter cover doesn't have a stud it clips over that plastic housing and water would still get down in the carb because it happened to me when one of them freak down pours came along more than once... Also even the newer Subaru engines have another critical flaw with the fuel tanks being metal. They invite moisture into the fuel and tanks rust bad. I ripped off the metal tanks and use craftsman style riding mower fuel tanks on em. Even made my own brackets and I use nylon ties to boot. The really good news is no more moisture in the fuel and if dirt gets in the tank which it has I can take the tank off dump it out whereas everyone hates to waste fuel but everyone hates a clogged up carb too.

I have have equipment I own that sits outside too. Your local roofer can be best friend if ya buy a piece of rubber roofing U can at the least cover the engine or the whole machine. I actually use spring clamps to hold the stuff in place. It works for me all these years.

Great video.. I hope we can get another video on more lights sometime soon 😉
