I received mine about 4 weeks ago. Ive so far ran it 3 times and split over 7 cord already. With 2 people you can work it for about an hour and do several cord. With no back aches. Perfect design for me.
Yes Russell it is pretty quick. I was impressed when you first started and then I realized you were in fast forward. I screamed at you all the first day to show us some real time real time Russell. I guess you didn’t hear me over the noise in the engine. But you showed us a couple of logs in real time which was what I was asking for. Thank you. I’m impressed the way it hauled up three or four rounds ready to split some of those rounds. Wear a fair size also. It is a good little machine, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to split their firewood. Stay safe God bless.🇨🇦✌️
Split-Fire makes a good product. We had one of their bi-directional 2235 units for years. Welcome to the vertical splitter family Russell 🙂 I do like the idea of that piece of metal that is front and centre, protecting your mid section should a block of wood kick out (and they do).
@@WoodchuckCanuck they sure do Jim , they’ve been around a long time eh. It’s a game changer as you well know. I thought I would take out that piece of metal on the front but even with big rounds they just sit over top with no issues. Thanks for the comments take care.
Good video. I had been looking for a vertical splitter and was dismayed by the high prices (homeowner, 10 cords/year all hand split) and ended up with a Tractor Supply splitter and a short time later the 1165v was announced and I think I muttered a few not so nice words 🤣
@@southernadirondackoutdoors I do hear ya! I’m at about 5 cords a year or so. As I age time is such a factor in life, if it takes 1/2 or less time to split my firewood that’ll save me so much time, and it’s now way more enjoyable, the 1165V is worth every penny. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@regsparkes6507 apparently it’s all in the pump and valve, I’m no expert at hydraulics, word is that’s the secret. It’s so fast compared to the old and big box style splitters.
I think one of the downfalls of many commercial grade splitters is how heavy they are, and how hard it is to move them around without equipment. They're also huge and you have to have somewhere to put them if you don't want them sitting outside. Split fire has solved that problem with this machine. It's compact, it's powerful, and it's fast enough to keep up with the other bests in the industry. It's a nice machine!!!! Awesome show of it in action 💪💪
@@LogCabinFirewood yes absolutely they are heavy while this one you can move around by hand great point. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more videos of this machine in action!!! Take care
Always liked splitfire wood splitters. That’s a nice machine. Compact. Got your name from The Log Father. I subcribed. And I live in PEI. Have a great day 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
@@noelstractors-firewood57 always glad to hear an islander is watching lol! Thanks for watching, Jeff is great eh. Split -fire has been around a long time so you know they make great machines, I like this thing more every time I use it. Take care !
Good afternoon Russell, I think I am in love, what a machine. Very nice, very impressive. I need my wife to watch this video. Have a great weekend, Ben 👋😎👍🍻
@@whenworkisplay good day Ben, this machine has revived my love of doing firewood. I can’t get over how powerful and fast it is, splitting wood so effectively and effortlessly for a fraction of the price of the other big name ones. Thanks for watching and commenting have a great week.
One rule song that I have noticed how much people that have a vertical splitter is you never put your hands on top of the wood you're splitting it's a good way to lose fingers other than that I think it's an awesome machine just be careful keep all fingers God gave you All tell him to start with and you need to finish with all them 🤠😎🤠
So much easier on your back when splitting for a long period. Now just need to give a few hours thought to how to rig a foot peddle to have both hands available.
Bonsoir Mon Ami, that is is very nice wood splitter 👍👍😇💪 That is super fast wood splitter ( that must be an Hydraulic high pressure system ) 👌👍🧐💪Very Nice View Of la Baie Ste-Marie 🙏😇👌 OUTSTANDING True Field Testing Demos 👌😇👍Slow has molasses 🤣👍👍Very Nice for sure 😇👍Very Nice Price and OUTSTANDING Canadian Customer Service 👍😇👌🍁Have a very nice TGIF Mon Ami and Thank You Cheers 🍻🍻
How's she goin'? What a beauty of a splitter eh!! Split Fire make great splitters and this one is no exception. I was impressed with the cycle time. That is super fast. And I bet the 7.5 ton force will split just about anything you put on it!! Take care and good luck with your splitter!!!
Impressive speed, but limited to what size the rounds are .If handleing large diameter logs, if the stop is on ground level you can roll the log into place no lifting required...
@@jeanmarcleblanc9286 thanks and yes you have seen those lol it’s past time it was processed but still good. Splitting wood is way more enjoyable with this thing I tell ya.

Good morning Russell this is Glen from salmon river I ordered one yesterday

Congrats Russ! Really glad to see you finally got yours. You will love it for sure. Great explanation. Thanks for the shout out!
@@dereksstuff8395 thanks Derek!
Hi Russell
Sooooooo it Arrived 😊
Wow that splitter is a Little BEAST !
You'll be having fun while you work !!!
You have a Good Day 😊
@@kendriedger151 it is a beast! I enjoy doing firewood it’s relaxing but now it’s way more fun and less work and time.

Awesome splitter. They did knock it out except for one thing. It needs a foot actuator to free up your right hand.
@@haroldanderson2781 you’re right ! I hear they are working on something, fingers crossed
Russell thats a pretty sweat splitter. It handled those block of wood with no problem. Stay safe 👍TCT
@@TonysCoolTools it is sweet! It handles big or small no problem

@@dereksstuff8395 Yup, I just wish I waited a little longer!
Good hydraulics on this one Russell,..splits very quickly,.. you're right!
I like that log lift table.

Thanks !!😊
What a view man, I could do work on that land all day long with a smile
@@jackofall2305 we are truly blessed with this property, ocean front. The downside is it can be brutal in winter as there is no shelter.

@@gatorsworld Canadian made, very solid, strong and super fast !!!

That’s a nice splitter. It would hands down be the best “entry level” vertical splitter if it had a foot control.
@@amandadavis9726 agree, apparently they are working on a foot pedal prototype
Wow Russ. The sun glaring off all that grey hair, I couldn’t hardly see what you was doing. Ha ha 😂
@@thekentuckian8375 1000 comedians out of work eh 🤣
Well. At least you have hair. I don’t.
Looks like a great splitter gradations easier on an old guys back fast and it’s got the right engine 🤠👍
Awesome solid well desighned effeicient log splitters.
@@geraldkiethmorrison7316 they sure are 👍👍
love the design, bet its easy on the back. no constantly bending over.
@@attackcatt it pretty much makes splitting wood effortless and enjoyable! Nothing like the old horizontal splitters
Great video Russell!
Thanks Sandy, it’s quite the splitter I tell ya.
great bit of kit only available in USA and Canada tho ,i have checked
That a nice looking machine
nice rig

@@GrampiesWorkshop thanks Mike! It’s a great splitter I enjoy using it immensely! I was so surprised how strong it is, must be the pump. Take care
They are developing a foot pedal for this splitter as well. Im waiting on that before i order one.
@@outdoors-fun that’s what I’m hearing
Very nice splitter
@@inthebackyardwithdel438 it sure is, I believe this will almost replace the vertical ones sometime
@@russellbelliveau1694 I have been looking at this splitter . It is a very affordable splitter . I found a dealer about 2 hrs from my house .
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Are you making boiler wood ???
@@philliphall5198 yes 👍
WHICH ENGINE DID YOU GET? THANKS
@@billywray4524 I got the Honda engine, thanks for asking. I’ll be keeping this machine for a long time so it was a no brainer lol
Hey does your old splitter have a duel wedge? was that your modification. I'd like to see it in operation.
@@brendanericson6443 no it doesn’t I added fenders and turned it completely around , longer hitch etc.
thanks for the question take care
Impressive speed, but limited to what size the rounds are .If handleing large diameter logs, if the stop is on ground level you can roll the log into place no lifting required...
@@myronlaidler8034 we will test the limit of the round sizes as we have big timber
Electric vertical log splitters are so much better ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
@@jeffreybishop9478 they are slower according to the manufacturer, they are good though yes.
Congratulations on the new tool 💪🪵💪
I may be mistaken, but I'm almost sure I've seen those big dry rounds before, lol
