Almost 50k subs Andris! Honestly i don’t know why you don’t have 500k. I see channels that have 500k+ subs, and i wonder how your channel doesn’t have the same!
1) Make the blue base height adjustable with a 2 way push/pull hydraulic cylinder. 2) With 12 tons, you could set it up for creasing/bending flat steel as well. 3) Make the splitting blade removable for other attachments like a hydraulic bearing press, interference sleeve fitting, metal punch press etc.
❤ this channel. Enjoy the humor. Didn’t you say you didn’t want to assemble anything? You took things apart and reassembled btw… let’s cross our fingers and hope it’s better than Ikea”e assemblies. 😂
Another project completed! Can you put a remote so you don't have to bend over? That or you could leave it on the forks and raise it when in use. Good stuff buddy👍👍
Hi! This new splitter looks a lot like the one I have only you have a 3 phase version! Some observations I made! 1. The bar on your right side is supposed to connect to that chain on top of the splitting ram and it is a log lift to lift heavy logs. 2. Almost no one have a 1 meter fireplace but what you do is you cut the log in one meter pieces with the chainsaw, split them and stack them. The stack is super stable due to the length. Then as the wood is dry, the 1 meter piece is cut using a electric wood saw into the correct length. It is actually less work when you count the steps and splitting is usually the slowest part. 3. I have only been hit once in the balls in many years of using my vertical splitter but I don’t need more children anyway so I think it is a risk that is worth it. I would not want to have those bars in front of the working area. 4. That base area is slippery on my machine too, I might have to do a similar upgrade. 5. The arms are supposed to hold the wood but I don’t get them to work great. 6. My splitter is a bit too low just like yours but i place it on a 45 mm wooden plank when I split, it saves my back. 7. 4 way splitter is great, I have one from the factory, great job you did on yours. 8. I wonder if I could get a 3 phase motor and electronics for mine and upgrade…… Best Regards Nils
idea time ... Hi Mr pants .. idea for your new log splitter .. clip a chain with a log clamp on to the log splitter so when it raisers it will lift the heavy logs up .. no more bad back. let the machine do the work ..great video .. keep up the good work. Ian uk
Bro you should tap into the electrical system I know you have the knowledge for that. Add a remote control with an extension cord attached to it, a 3 meters cord should be enough. Stand behind the machine towards the motor side and that should be safer than anything else you do to it. save your self a leg, a foot, an arm, an eye or your entire face. Better to be safe than sorry! congrats on your new purchase seem fun!
That contraption on the right side looks like it is made to load logs. UnBolt it from the transport mode then hook than chain, to it with the head down, when it goes up the log will be lifted onto the table.
cool thingy. I always cut my lumber in 1m peaces and split it upright with a 20t splitter attatched to a tractror. After stacking and drying for 1,5-2 jears i cut it in 33,3333 cm pieces. This way you can stack them easyer. 1m piles don fall down..
I think you should mount it to your Yanmar. Tie the hydraulics to bypass the electric motor when on the ho. And when using manually put a pin in the new safety bracket so it can't shake loose while driving around on the bobcat.
I bought a gas powered splitter, 25 ton last fall and it can switch from vertical to horizontal. Not the fastest Hydraulic cylinder movement but way better than swinging an axe. Hello Ants Pants from Nova Scotia Canada, I am a first generation Canadian Estonian, my parents came to Canada in the early 50's, Im almost 60 years old now and find your channel very interesting. Would like to respond to you in Esto but am so broken in my abilities to be able to. Did not talk a lot in Esto with parents when growing up but am going out on a limb to say hello in Estonian....tere! :)
Boys and their toys! Rock on, bro. Told ya a vertical log splitter was the best to get! All your upgrades are awesome! Make a ramp to roll any heavy logs up on the support plate. No lifting. Frozen wood will sometimes "explode" when split. Be careful. Until next time take care, keep warm and protect your balls!
What an upgrade. You must be one of the world's private biggest volume user of welding rods! Amazing power in the splitter but that is a beast now of bespoke equipment. Great job...
It’s a lock washer, I’ve seen those before brother! 🤣😂🤣 crazy man! lol 🤣😂🤣 An aluminum box that has gussets inside it would be lighter as a good spacer!
That Thing at the side of the splitter with the chain is a loglifter. That is why you have the control lever that stops the hydraulic zylinder to go automaticly back up.
As much welding as you do you should buy a welding scaler to clean up your welds. The scaler runs off of air from a compresser and they work fantastic for removing the Flux and spatter from your welds. They only cost less then 50 dollars and a scaler works great. Using a scaler is not only a lot better then knocking the Flux and cleaning up the weld but it's a lot faster then trying to use a slag hammer .
@@Ants_Pants I've been a fabricator / welder for over 50 years and I've never found anything that will clean a weld faster or better then a scaler. They really work great in tight places a wire brush can't fit. I think if you ever try one you will be very happy with how easy and well it cleans slag off a weld.

I saw one guy had adapted log splitter -- turn upside down and mount on RSJ and attach to excavator-quick coupling-- drive hydrauics from excavator--- advantage that you move the splitter to log and saves man-handling
The skid steer was the answer to the ergonomics too. Just scoop it up, drive to where the wood is, lift the splitter to the desired height..go to work. Of course, you'll need a long cable..OR..you ditch the 3-phase motor powering the hydraulics and connect to the AUX on the skid steer.
nice modifications, but if I saw correctly, the new 4-way wedge has now wider wedges and more blunt edges at the bottom where it drives into the wood which instead of 'cutting' into the wood and splitting it is now crushing the wood fibers before it creates enough pressure to jam into the wood. I feel the cutting edges should be 'sharper' to drive into the wood and cut and split it slowly and more easily instead of crushing and then suddenly 'popping' the stumps.
You are a multi-talented creator! Another Great video! The twisted grainy wood was interesting to watch be split with the machine! Doubt it could have been done manually 😉 I know for sure. “SHE” said protect your balls! 😂 and you did….. Two videos from you in one week was great. 😊 Keep up the awesome work
Those are known as wave washers. They usually use to provide shock absorption in a system but can also be used as a type of lock washer though they don't work very well for that.
Was that you Andris in the beginning? You look suave n sophisticated…smooth dressings….hehehehe Your wood splitter looks awesome, protect your manhood all the time…good design on your blade…. Beautiful neices you got…must got it from super mom!
Wow, that splitter is an animal. Nice new addition to the Ants Pants tool armoury. It wouldn't take much to make some additional adapters for the splitter head. Oil filter crusher & car suspension strut safety spring removal tool. 3 phase cable and premade leads are miles apart in price for some bizarre reason. I used to buy hundreds of meters of heavy duty H07BN4-F cable and make my own leads for commercial stage use for chain hoist winches and special effects equipment. Great video, Andris. Have a great weekend, mate
I think you have one badass log splitter. I would of done pretty much the same upgrades too minus the Bobcat part. Its really important to protect those family jewels. Yep! See ya on the next one friend. Take care from Canada eh!
Awesome upgrade man. By the way, you can tap thicker steel, just use the taps in the right sequence. Meaning, 1st 2nd and 3rd pass, takes a little longer but works realy good. 😊
Hi ants, that is one monster machine. I think you will be safe enough when you use it. The way you work things out is really good, and then you get on and do it. Another enjoyable video.👍
Been a long time, but i recall Belleville washers as a special type of locking washer that actually works (and doesn’t come loose)., but i seem to remember that they came in pairs or something like that. Look it up, might be what you wanted to know.
Those wood splitters that attach to the skid steer are great. Make a mount to your skid steer, that will make the height adjustable, you can set it down for large logs then raise it for the smaller ones to a good work hight.
Quite a penalty to give up the portability go anywhere ness of the engine powered splitters. The combination horizontal/vertical units of about 20 tons will go to the log pile and split whatever you give it. You are going to need a heck of a long extension cord with a voltage drop and loss of power for going electric. Either that or very large conductor (expensive) cord. Although the power loss is not huge it still puts an additional burden on the motor shortening its working life. We will see how this works out. Always fun to watch.
A simple, very effective splitter head design is a circle, with 4 or 5 pie cuts. Made from bar stock, sharpen, put in hot coals of campfire to harden & temper. Let cool slowly, not shock, or else it will be brittle glass and useless.
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you Andris,garantie gone but your upgrades made the machine much better and saver good work 👍😁 and you can bring it wherever you want.
Hehe, that thing works pretty good... On the back usually is a threaded rod to set the end height of the return, so it doesn't go always to the top. Washers are elastic, you fing those on the bearings of electric motors. 😉 When you cut logs, it's wise to cut the notches out pretty parallel, otherwise it's a pain to make them stay as you split.. You're right, the cross wedge is optimal for productivity and keep in mind, the progressive type is the best, which is the one you made. I don't like the triangle under the side wedges though, as it will be pushing side pieces away. It's better to leave them lean outside so they grab with no mercy! Don't forget the back clearance as the side ones will wedge wood to the main pillar. Oh by the way, you voided the warranty with the upgrade... 🤭 That ultimate strength plate, brownish color, is very likely to be hardox 400 or 500.. With no adeguate tools is a nightmare to work it.. but it will be a great wedge.. Excelent work, Ants, it looks cool! Cheers!
Howzit Andris. May i suggest you re-design that log splitter into a 4 edge splitter. That is a lot of power being used only to split a log in the middle once. To use that same force to split it twice at once would surely safe you time. And also maybe weld studs/spikes on the bottom plates to avoid the logs from slipping off the plate
Wow,,, the upgrades to the log splitter is amazing,,take a picture and send them to the company that it's from .I think they can incorporate your ideas and make that beast even better. Nice job A.P.
Suggestion cut off the control arms get a piece of 6×6box steel mount to the left or right of the splitter which ever is better for you mount yout box steel from ground beside splitter weld tobnon moving base mount controllers to either side of box steel at desired height now your out of the way , you can also use that chain or to go around your stumpage with a hook on other side of base to prevent blow out . Hope i was able to explain it clear enough for you to be able to decipher my idea lol look forward to seeing it in action .
Those were wavy washers or wave washers. They are meant to accommodate shock or repeated dynamic tension in a joint. Love your channel and content, keep up the awesome work.
Aaaahhh man. I still got bruises from the last time you dropped us. I’ve got to start wearing a helmet and hockey padding while watching your videos. 😂
Congratulations for another nice stream. I love hearing you cursing in estonian (along with kicking around the wheeled barrow, couple of weeks ago). 👍 ☺
I love to see the kids playing just like you're playing😂😂😂❤
Oh yes another fine video from ants cant wait to watch this😊

You can weld a lifting eye on to the top piece of the wedge and use a chain and log tongs to pick up the wood to split
I look forward to your videos more than new episodes of my favorite tv shows
What's your fav tv shows?

Great video again. 👍 👍 keep em comming 😎

I like the upgrades. Especially if you pick it up from the other direction. Leave it on skid steer until you are done for the day.
I watch for the list making. I do love a good Andris list.
Always
Quite a penalty to give up the portability go anywhere ness of the engine powered splitters. The combination horizontal/vertical units of about 20 tons will go to the log pile and split whatever you give it. You are going to need a heck of a long extension cord with a voltage drop and loss of power for going electric. Either that or very large conductor (expensive) cord. Although the power loss is not huge it still puts an additional burden on the motor shortening its working life. We will see how this works out. Always fun to watch.
I usually work nearby the tractor shed for firewood. Not planning to go far
A simple, very effective splitter head design is a circle, with 4 or 5 pie cuts.
Made from bar stock, sharpen, put in hot coals of campfire to harden & temper.
Let cool slowly, not shock, or else it will be brittle glass and useless.
Ohh
Definitely worth the buy and the upgrades were kick-ass! You can split a galaxy with that
Let's hope
I just wanted to thank you for being as you are. With your channel you are hitting a sweet spot in my villageheart. 🎉
Wow, thank you!
The 3' capacity would be great for splitting oak to make chairs. 👍
Hmm
Ant she’s a beast with a grill
Excellent upgrades. I like the safety guard and nonslip platform best.
Agreed!
I've guessed on a logsplitter for the skid-steer..
But that splitter seems beastly strong for it's size!!
Really nice upgrades, absolute necessity!
I agree
Awesome monster! Those washers may be a type of spring washers. So funny those two teletubbies😊
Haha
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you Andris,garantie gone but your upgrades made the machine much better and saver good work 👍😁 and you can bring it wherever you want.
You are so welcome
you could mount and face it the other way on your fork-lift; choose your own working height and have it mobile-- cool vid!
Brilliant upgrades, so much berrer than the factory option. 👍
The upgrades greatly helped out, especially the catch fence safety 😱
I would recommend large spikes for your platform plate, it’s going to get filled with tree bark, dirt, etc. Another cool video Andris.
You just doubled the efficiency of the splitter! Fantastic work 👍 !

Those were wavy washers or wave washers. They are meant to accommodate shock or repeated dynamic tension in a joint. Love your channel and content, keep up the awesome work.
Thanks for the info!

You’re welcome 👍 You can put out a surprise video anytime you want to!
Aaaahhh man. I still got bruises from the last time you dropped us. I’ve got to start wearing a helmet and hockey padding while watching your videos. 😂

Well deserved love the content and your sense of humour is brilliant.

Ants I like the upgrades. For my own splitter I made some adapters to press out bearings and bend thick steel.
