@@jonathanhines6746 sweet! Hopefully your experience is as good as mine. Imx going to pull a couple down’d Myrtle Trees from our property in SW Oregon and have CMF cut them into a live edge for the interior window sills in the cabin. Let me know how it goes for you. Just realized how close you are to us!
I could sure use a log splitter bout now. That 12 lb maul is getting mighty hard to run for this old man lol. We built many a pole barns from rough sawn birch in the back woods of Minnesota, no need for inspctors back then
Oof ya, those mauls and splitting get old quickly...as i get old... This will make life so much easier and I can focus my energy and strength on other things. Wow rough sawn birch, bet that came out awesome! Thanks for watching
That looks like some log splitter. How much gas does it use per hour? I’ve seen a few electric ones but I haven’t spoken to anyone that has one. I was thinking I’d have my log storage behind my shed (off the backside of the shed), undercover & could run the splitter there…..that’s where my batteries will be. Do you drag the splitter around the property? Where’s it made……looks solid. I’m so jealous of your place, absolutely beautiful!
I'm not sure how fast it consume fuel. We just did a video from last weekend where we split a big stack of stuff we'd cut, I only put in about 1/4 tank and it didn't run out after the 35-40 min its ran. I'll have to track that next time I run it extensively. They are worth every penny, better then killing yourself splitting wood! I'm not sure an electric one would have enough power to split most stuff. Even that 27ton one struggled a bit on wet myrtle. But battery stuff always surprises me these days. Its not moved since we assembled it, we bring wood to it, however both the Polaris Ranger and the Yamaha ATV can tow it anywhere we want really easily. You can also tow it up to 45MPH on the highway, it actually has real axles, but I'm not putting that test. 😆
@@SeamrógCreek 🤣 Some things are best left untested 🤣 I did see some advertisement of an electric one, wonder if it’s like an electric car (torque wise). I’m led to believe log with knots & unseasoned timber that’s too ‘wet’ won’t split easy. I’d only consider electric over gas powered because it’s so much quieter. (But it needs to function correctly)…….no way am I splitting timber the manual way again, I’m too old !
@@GR8Tmate Ya if electric worked well, it'd be worth it! Those little 4 stroke engines are loud. Not as bad as the two strokes but still. Definitely green/unseasoned wood is a beast. You need a big machine for those, like a 35 ton. Or for super hardwoods, which we don't have. But for year old or more doug fir, myrtle, alder, hemlock, this thing seems to plow right through it. I do plan on trying to split a newer piece of doug fir just to see how it does. We have some that's only been down about 5 months.
Making progress!
Love local Sawmills. I could used them on the up and coming house build. Thanks for the link
For sure. Craig is awesome, he owns it. He even has equipment to retrieve logs from your property, etc. He's got a pretty great setup.
@@SeamrógCreek nice I have 8 downed trees that need milling
