I'm 72 and just split up some oak rounds like you are working on in this video. Only, I only have an old fashioned tow behind splitter which will swing into vertical mode for those humongous rounds. Wrestling those monsters into position on the ground gets harder each year. I feed an outdoor furnace that can take wood up to 25", so I leave them as large as I can get through the door to the firebox. Smaller/ uglier pieces are used for daytime heating when I can check on the fire a couple of times during the day. I fill up with overnighters for the night, and on extremely cold nights, I fill it to the max and throw some small chunks in to fill the voids. That round, which I assume to be 16" tall will weigh about 375 lbs. My 22" in rounds for my furnace can weigh up to 450 or more. Sometimes, if I have help, it takes 2 men to get them into position under the wedge. Here in SW Missouri, 3 species of oak is our primary firewood. Those ugly rounds are a bear and will test your patience, and they call for an extra measure of caution.
Hey brother; The Red Oak Rooster/ The Hocking Hills, Logan, Ohio Love all the different videos from everybody on You Tube Kinda on a profile this season due to a total hip replacement The middle of June last summer, and still struggling a bit Plan’n on being back next year full strength, and everyone on the Channel is so inspiring and I have grown to lovin’ ya’ll.

HI THERE i left a comment but its gone , oh well .i just up grades the totes challange ha ha .just got a chance to run one of those splitters , dont tell anyone but i kind of liked it , john
Sorry just catching up on videos . Safety is a big one with vertical splitters . We have the same adjustment on buster but I keep it at about 17 inches . Them big rounds can be a real pain if ya not paying attention an things happen fast with a vertical splitter . Love the thumbs up comment Heath 😂. As my buddy says stupid hurts an trust me he ain’t wrong . Great video busten them big oak rounds up .
Thanks Phil, I agree stupid does hurt but I also know people who work hard and get after it have a lot more chances for something to happen. It’s easier to not get hurt sitting on a couch but that’s not the life for us! I figure the only useless mistake is one nobody learns from.
Strikehold Hi, I have many splitters and the axis is my favourite, I would like to see the new wolf ridge vertical splitter in person though. Great video. Thanks
Great idea on the totes, nice safety feature. Agree Everyone does what fits there woodyard, and it makes it more enjoyable, Good video and teamwork 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Hey Heath and Rachel , nice job of getting those Hugh rounds split up . Thanks for sharing that safety feature on the AXIS also . Y’all have a good one !!👍🏻🇺🇸🪵🔥
I was splitting beech on the axis today. Be careful with having the camera in line with the log lift- the other week a beech log shot out that way and tipped over a light I was using. I tried using 1/3 to 1/2 the wedge today and it does help on the hard logs. I’m a little concerned with how much the vertical beam flexes when it doesn’t split. The strike hold looks like a good product. I guess 163 pounds for the oak round. Nice video showing large rounds!
That looked like a serious workout manipulating that big oak round into place. Good job getting it broken up and explaining the splitter stroke length adjustment.
Hello Heath, you told me to let you know when I was getting a splitter and I wanted to come up and go to the Paul Bunyan show and pick up my Allwood on the way home but Bobby just couldn’t get what I ordered done so I called wolf ridge and he told me I would have it before Christmas he got it done earlier than I expected and picking it up December 12 pro 28C with several upgrades a little like your friends can’t remember his name I think Rachel said he’s big dumb and happy in a video. Lol. From some other commentor.😂. I’m almost completely out of firewood that is split so I had to do something fast. I’ve got a mountain of wood just waiting. To get split when I make it back home Tuesday you guys keep warm up there. I hope you get that wood boiler working soon and I’d like to hear that Makita running since you had it ported and got the piston put in the right way. I bet it’s gonna sound better. Then it used to.
Thanks Jeff, the Makita is a beast now. Glad you were able to get back to splitting. That’s one good thing for us consumers that there are several options for hi quality splitters available. The 28C can definitely put some wood out too.
Your tote modification is fantastic. If stacking works for you, just attach your mod up side down. Instead of having the relocated bar above the height of the tote, mount it below the rim of the tote. Just thinking out loud.🤔
Thanks William, I was going to try this but I think John over at FrickNJeep just came up with a better idea! I’ll be trying it out in an upcoming video.
No wonder you’re cold Rachel, you’ve worn holes in your jeans lol! Strikehold, Really hard to tell looking through the screen, and the weather can make it vary but 218 lbs is my guesstimate. 🤙
I fabricated the "Stickler" wood splitting auger to my pto driven earth auger to split the big rounds into liftable sizes, works great with no back breaking sweat.
Great video. I am sold on the vertical splitter for tree services wood. I like the idea y’all had for the totes and explaining why you didn’t use the cross bar the other way. Looking forward to the 10K live. Keep up the good work. Strikehold.
I never thought about the safety issue with the vertical splitters. That is a very important safety factor to point out. I have accidentally stepped on the foot pedal on my electric bundler. I am sure your video will help save some people.
Thanks, I hadn’t thought about that either until Phil had his accident. This is one of the reasons we share our mistakes because if we can help someone else from not making the same one it’s worth not pretending to be perfect.
Heath , when I have a giant knotty round like what you are dealing with in this video , I will grab a saw and make a single quartering cut from the edge of the round to the center . This removes a lot of strength that the round has . It gives a good starting point to start splitting and saves time and effort .. If that makes sense .
Another good video , I think the round weighs 234 pounds , I would love to have a bottle of the strike hold. Heath I met you and Rachel at Paul Bunyan you give me a shirt Andrew give me a hat and I ended up over at Chris’s booth running the Wolfridge. Hope to have one by Christmas. Stay safe and as always great videos.
STRIKEHOLD Great job on those massive knotty rounds Hector! 😜 And it's always great to see Rachel 🐰 out helping you! I love that Axis. Congrats on hitting 10,000 subs! 👍You guys deserve all the best.
ya, my splitter has a wedge separator. When i used it in Vertical position for Big logs, It creeped me out, what if my forearm was in there. Just work steady, and mentally alert. No probs.
Strikehold sounds like good product. 345 lbs. guess on oak, very heavy. One Eye Customs has made protector for kick outs. Goes between you and the table.
Congratulations on the 10K subs! It's nice to see a family working together - not to mention the helpful tips and info. My guess on the oak round is 192. Have a great day!
good video and job i do a lot of that mean wood i use a chain saw and wedges to get them down to splitter side. i would litte to have a Axis but they are not in my price range. both of you take care, be safe and well.
Congrats on 10000 subs. Strike hold really sounds like something to have around. 223.5 lbs on the oak round. Heath your thought of safety on the axis or any other type of splitter, is a great thought. If it only helps one person, that’s awesome. We will never know that. We need to set up a think tank that people can ask question they might be having problems with. I know you’re thinking about it already. Off subject but I love your samari processor. I’d love to get my hands on one of those. Your nasty oak got split. A lot ended up in home burning needs. So what. Allen family firewood in Maine don’t know what to do with all his cookies and scrape. Hard to believe Phil can’t find people in Maine that wouldn’t want that scrap and chunks. Too bad he wasn’t closer I would just load up at Phil’s and stop cutting my own. Mark my words your suggestion on lowering the splitter to just above the wood is going to save someone from a nasty injury. Very fun watching and don’t know how I never ran into you and Rachel at Paul Bunyan. Later Take care.
Your large round I estimate 231 lbs. Love your Easton Verticle splitter. I use candle wax on the splitter head on the nasty, hard to split rounds..it makes it a little easier on my splitter.
HAY HEATH AND RACHEL, I'M GONNA GO WITH 235 LBS... NICE SPLITTIN' AND KILLER ATTENTION TO DETAIL. YOU ARE DEFINITELY LOCKED AND LOADED... AND READY TO WACK-EM AND STACK-EM. KEEP PUSHIN' ON GUYS AND STAY COOL... PEACE FROM CREEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO...
I'm interested in trying Strike Hold. I guess the round to be 154 lbs. I am saving to buy a splitter and I am thinking about getting a vertical splitter versus a horizontal. So, I was very interested in what you thought given that you have several types. I am not going into the firewood business but I want a quality commercial splitter. Thanks.
CLP is what the US Army uses for pretty much all weapons(crew served machine guns and individual weapons)lube. Cleans, Lubricates, Protects. It serves as advertised in the right application.
I know your doings video demonstration,I havre an outside boiler also and stuff like that goose in 4or 5 pieces then left for a year or so before going into the boiler.
If you don't want to use the chain i sugested in part or whole why not loosen the bar rotate the top of bar twords back flush with the top and retighten then you can stack your totes.
Jimmie, I think what you’re saying is what John from FrickNJeep just did in a video last night. If so I’ll definitely be trying that method as I think it will work better.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors I didn't see that I'll have to look him up because that first i heared of him. But it would be like recessing a handle on those storage boxes you can carry from top that lays done and still stack on top of each other. Ok I just check his out and yeah that would be the way to go and you can stack and by looks of it more ridged. But for any you have already made you can just loosen that bar lay it down like it's recessed in to and retighten.. I still like you to test how well it would hold the wood and how much compared to the old way every one does if you dumped it in loose by hand or conveyor..
I was surprised that Easton made was struggling splitting some of them ones towards the end. I would say one of those rounds it’s probably about 160 pounds.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors get yourself a temp monitor inside or on your phone! 100% a must have in my book. You will never have to go out and “check” The boiler.
Hello Heath and Rachel, my guess is 228 lbs. on that nasty round. Lot of work on that nasty grain. That strike hold looks like great stuff to have around. Have a great day! Cheers Woody !!!
It looks like it would be as fast to rip a round like that onto 4 pieces and than put it on the splitter. A lot less fighting a big round plus eliminating the injury part also.
Strikehold and my guess is 273 lbs. on that oak round. If you find you need a little more protection from that bar across the top, you could zip tie a pool noodle on it. Just a suggestion.
Great channel. Congrats on the 10k subscribers. Strike hold looks great. oak round 122 lbs. I had to guess 22 because it’s my favorite number. 5th grade basketball number.
New sub for ya! I watch a lot of folks that split wood and have sawmills. That round will be 250, I’d like to try some of that Strickhold lube. I’m a part time gunsmith, that would be a good test for it. Take care and stay safe.🙏✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video Heath and Rachel! 289lbs on the round you gave as an example. STRIKEHOLD… C’mon Heath, the best lubricant you’ve ever used?🤨😂 Thanks for posting and Bless’ns to ya’s, Tedd
Regarding the stacking issue with your new tote configuration, can you rotate the cutoff top rail 90 degrees ( flush with the top) and attach on inside of tote. Would that maintain rigidity of tote?
Thanks Dan, I was going to try that but I think John from FrickNJeep came up with a better way. It has given me another idea I’ll be posting as soon as I get it done.
George it was nasty for sure. Here is a link for the Strikehold. It does cost a little more than a can of WD40 but it’s so much better in my opinion. Code HWM10 will get you free shipping too. www.strikehold.com/hwmo
I'm glad you showed the Wedge and how to use it and lock in place
Thanks Carl.
Thanks for touching on a subject we hate to talk about. You two reps rent Strikehold great 🇺🇸👏🏻
Thanks Larry, we figure if it helps one person it’s worth the effort.

They definitely take a lot of work but are great for long burns and good heat. Appreciate the feedback!
Hey brother; The Red Oak Rooster/

Love all the different videos from everybody on You Tube
Kinda on a profile this season due to a total hip replacement
The middle of June last summer, and still struggling a bit

And love tackling the Red Oak species off of
the former
Wayne National / now Buckeye National Forest
Can’t wait to feel free

I love the the season
from the time, the underbrush starts wilt’n
Up until the last kindle’n is need’d to take the chill off in the

And I haven’t been there since they quit having it
In Athens, County
At the Hocking College
But my future is look’n
A little brighter for the up comin’ season…

strike hold 206lbs Another great video. I wish i could justify that Axis. Eastonmade is just quality and beast mode in one!!!
We love the Axis and Eastonmade is definitely a great machine and company.
He needs you Rachel!!! Without you no telling where he might be!! Great job guys! Have a great day!🎉. I’m going to say 250lbs.

always hard at work....
Yes sir. Thanks John.
Hi, I'm guessing that oak round. Weights 183.6 #'s congratulations on 10k subscribers

Your large round I estimate 231 lbs. Love your Easton Verticle splitter. I use candle wax on the splitter head on the nasty, hard to split rounds..it makes it a little easier on my splitter.

Strikehold is the lube to use when cutting 750 pound hunks of oak.
Yes sir, thanks Jerome!
164lbs is my guess. The Axis really is a great machine!
Yes it is. We really like it.
Strike hold sounds good. What does it cost normally on average
Jimmie it is a little more $ than say WD40 but imo there’s no comparison! It’s about $20/bottle.
I would say that oak piece weighs 185 lbs...... Great video love the knots they burn hot all night...... Have a great day.......
Thanks, those knots will definitely give us some heat!
245 lbs on the oak round. Have a great holidays
Thanks Michael, you too.

So, I was very interested in what you thought given that you have several types. I am not going into the firewood business but I want a quality commercial splitter. Thanks.
The Strikehold works amazing. We will actually be doing a video here shortly breaking down the differences, pros, cons of each style of splitter.

Oh yes, I’ve used it in the Air Force as well, works great!

Good over night wood that what I cut
Yes it will be!
I know your doings video demonstration,I havre an outside boiler also and stuff like that goose in 4or 5 pieces then left for a year or so before going into the boiler.
Thanks, we will be splitting some lower quality wood up in larger blocks for the boiler. Should be hooked up soon!
I like all of your videos
Thank you Jeffery.
If you don't want to use the chain i sugested in part or whole why not loosen the bar rotate the top of bar twords back flush with the top and retighten then you can stack your totes.

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors I didn't see that I'll have to look him up because that first i heared of him. But it would be like recessing a handle on those storage boxes you can carry from top that lays done and still stack on top of each other.

That is another option for sure.
Strikehold and my guess is 273 lbs. on that oak round. If you find you need a little more protection from that bar across the top, you could zip tie a pool noodle on it. Just a suggestion.
Thanks Stan!
strikehold and I'm going to guess its 188 lb and keep up the great videos
Thank you William.
280 pounds on the Oak. Great Video!!!

Thinking the oak round at 187 pounds?
Remember health and Rachel THINK 🤔 SAFETY and always put SAFETY FIRST around the EASTONMADE lol 😊.
Yes sir Leonard!
New sub for ya! I watch a lot of folks that split wood and have sawmills.
That round will be 250, I’d like to try some of that Strickhold lube.
I’m a part time gunsmith, that would be a good test for it.
Take care and stay safe.🙏✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you, the Strikehold is awesome stuff. I use it on my guns exterior but haven’t cleaned a barrel with it yet.
My Guess for the oak round is 187 LBS. I work with all big rounds what a task it is! STRIKE HOLD!
Yes it is Kyle! Thanks for watching.

Gotta like the oak

Great video Heath and Rachel!
289lbs on the round you gave as an example.
STRIKEHOLD…
C’mon Heath, the best lubricant you’ve ever used?🤨😂
Thanks for posting and Bless’ns to ya’s, Tedd
Lol yes Tedd! Best ever. As always thanks for watching and commenting!
Regarding the stacking issue with your new tote configuration, can you rotate the cutoff top rail 90 degrees ( flush with the top) and attach on inside of tote. Would that maintain rigidity of tote?
Thanks Dan, I was going to try that but I think John from FrickNJeep came up with a better way. It has given me another idea I’ll be posting as soon as I get it done.
Checker plate wood allow it to slide but give it a bit of traction to hold in position. Better to be safe than hurt.
250 lbs.
Thanks Noel!
Strikehold!
Good luck Tyman!
Hard working people. I just subscribed, my guess on the oak round weight is 349 lbs

Hi guys, guessing on the Oak round weight. 326 lbs
Thanks Dave!

My guess for the oak round is 173 lbs.
Thanks Jerry.
strikehold and I'm going to guess its 113 lbs.
You had to have quite the strikehold on those rounds to move them around. 😂 My guess is 325 pounds. - Tim
Thanks Tim! They weren’t light that’s for sure.
Strikehold. I’m gonna say it’s around 625 pounds. Oak isn’t a light wood. Nice tip on the axis.
Thanks Joe and no it’s not light!
Round weight is 356lbs.
Thanks.
Rachel…………….the jeans………..wrecked me………
She can rock them jeans!
That was the nastiest rounds I've seen in a while! Strike Hold sounds good, where can I buy a bottle?
George it was nasty for sure. Here is a link for the Strikehold. It does cost a little more than a can of WD40 but it’s so much better in my opinion. Code HWM10 will get you free shipping too.
