Thanks my buddy over at smore firewood did the build i wanted something that was fast so we got it down to a 2.2 cycle time i think a eastonmade axis is about 4.5 cycle time . . Your putting out some great videos keep up the great work an welcome to the firewood community i see your new like us to youtube
Hi Phil, your guy certainly did a heck of a job on your splitter. You definitely don’t want to be tired running it. At least once every 30 seconds count your fingers. You could have your welder put a couple stripper plates on to pull the log off when you get stuck. Give yourself a week or so and you will learn it’s capabilities and may not happen much. The chain saw trick worked quite well. Be safe and get stacking. Nice job.
Thanks we added a couple stripper plates more to just protect the fitting on the ram piston . probably should have made them longer but i didnt want to hide the splitter knife behind them . Ya you really want to be on ya game when working with this splitter but there is a valve to slow it down if i want to but thats no fun .
To get it unstuck - check out the Eastonmade Axis design - they welded a couple of pieces either side of the ram such that on the return stroke, it clears any logs which are stuck to it. It would be a lot safer than the chainsaw.
If you look above the splitter knife we added a wood stripper on each side to protect the hose fitting on the ram but i didnt want them to come all the way down and hide the splitter knife but would still help in stripping the wood , looking back we could add a couple inches to it and still keep the knife visible for making videos .
Thanks ive sent a couple people your way looking for a similar splitter . Sorry it took so long to get back to ya i ben sick as a dog for 2 weeks an slacked off on responding to comments . It was a fun build i like most anything that goes fast lol
@@AllenFamilyFirewood it's one of the nicest splitters I've ever seen. Rub oil on it once a month and you're sitting pretty. Powder coat would be cool but that's big money.
Thanks for subscribing . Dana at smore firewood did the fabricating an welding . Him an i go way back ,i tend to break an bust alot of things an he has always fixed them so that i cant break them again . He truly can weld an fabricate anything
Thanks i didnt want the extra table because i wanted the wood after it was split to almost fall on its own down into the conveyor . We added a flow valve to control the speed so we can slow it down for regular people to be able to run it . Honestly a 2 second cycle time is to fast im 8 weeks along in recovering from chopping my thumb 75% off
We are making bundle wood but as a rule most of our sales are for small split wood . We do have some kindling videos we put out recently. That splitter demands all ya attention when running it . Trust me I know but luckily they were able to put my thumb back on .
That’s awesome, very fast. Now I want a vertical 😆 Where did you get the hydraulic pump mount for the Kohler? I just built one with a 28gpm pump and a 22hp Kohler, I couldn’t find a mount like that and had to get a foot mount style. Kind of a pain to align it. Better wear gloves, then you know where your finger ends up!
Good eye my buddy that built the splitter also built the mount . We just used a lawn mower engine so we had to get creative on the build . He has some of the build on his channel. It’s called s’more firewood and his name is Dana . Guy is a wiz at hydraulics welding and fabrication and he dose firewood so he knows how to build splitters . He has a custom built horazontal splitter on his channel called orange crush that has features that I’ve never seen on another splitter .
@@AllenFamilyFirewoodthanks, I’ll check it out. My engine came out of a cub cadet, sold the tractor after I pulled the engine for what I bought it for! Hard to say no there
I have been running powersplit for years .how much would you build me one for I am being serious. I'm needing another vertical spliter for my company I understand that you don't build them to sale but I would like to have one.
Really like your channel and have been going over your videos on your vertical splitter, would like to ask your permission to use some of your ideas to revamp my homemade splitter? Know you would never know I did but feel it not right to use your ideas without permission.
Heck ya an if ya get a chance send us some pics of it on our email. We like the home made stuff . My buddy Dana at s’more firewood did the build an has some videos of the build on his channel as well . I don’t know all the technical stuff but he dose an if ya jump over to his channel he could answer any of ya questions about it .
Thanks This is what i love about this huge wood family lots of great ideas . Next time i stick a piece im going to try that . Thanks again for the great idea
Ow ya .... It was a long time in the making but we got it all back together an running great . Sure is alot faster than the way it was set up before an now i dont need the tractor to run it
Wow that is crazy 🤪 thats a machine that one should be proud of for sure. Are you using a dual hydraulic pump on that thing ? You may have inspired me to make one 😄
I have a buddy thats a wiz at building stuff like that . I told him i wanted fast an thats what he made for me . It sure can split wood in a hurry . If you look back in our first videos 5 months ago you can see what the splitter used to look like before he upgraded it .
Ive put a few cord threw it an it aint got any slower yet lol . it is a lil faster the cycle time from down to back is 2.2 sec but it also has a valve on the back so i can slow it down but that takes the fun outa it
@@rogerl8488 I didn’t build it so I don’t know but if you go an look up s’more firewood on UA-cam he has some of the build videos on there channel an you can leave Dana a comment asking about it as he is the guy that built it
To be honest i have no idea . My budy over at smore firewood built it for me an he has done a few videos talking about how he made it go that fast . Just leave him a comment an im sure he will tell ya . I do know it has a 20 hp engine but that was way over kill but thats all i could find for it on short notice .
My buddy did a great job turning my old splitter into this . It sure can chew threw the wood in a hurry . Once again thanks for watching an leaving a comment .
Wow whats the trick to this being fast? I love it thats the speed i want on my power split.... bigger pump an bigger motor? Also love the wide foot pedal! These other companies needs to take notes!! Beast!!
My buddy Dana built it for me this spring . He turned my old vertical splitter that ran off of my tractor into what you see now . If you ck out his channel he has some of the build videos and just recently he did a walk around and explained how it’s put together an kinda how he made it fast . His channel is s’more firewood . We really appreciate ya watching our channel Roger
Ha HA good eye . We re built the conveyor an when we did i didnt get it balanced right so the first time i sent wood up it tipped over lol . So i hung a couple rotors on the end to balance it . Your the first to notice it great question . Dont forget to sign up for the chain saw in todays sundays video . And sorry it took so long for me to get back to you
Thanks i tryed it an it works great . Thanks for the idea an sorry it took so long for me to get back to ya . Dont forget to enter in today sundays video for the 572 xp chain saw
Dana does some very nice work at times. I was mortified when you pulled out the chainsaw and hacked into that block. I'd suggest that you raise any jammed up pieces as high as they can be lifted and then put a block under the edge closest to the working face and let the splitter push itself (mostly) out of the jam. ua-cam.com/video/sc7msdntlI4/v-deo.html . This Rusky built vertical splitter might be a tad faster I think. It can't do big blocks quite as easily though.
Most of the time putting a block under it works but not always every now an then i will swing the maul an try an knock it free but when all else fails i break out the saw because it always works . Probably not the safest way but it work every time . Over the yrs Dana has built an fixed alot of the stuff i use to make a living . When it comes to fabricating an welding hes the best i know . I will go ck out that splitter .
If anyone can do it Dana can but he is always right out strait this time of yr . Best time is to catch him in the fall or winter months for big projects
Thanks that splitter was built by my grand dad almost 50 yrs ago before vertical splitters were a thing and was run off of a tractor i wanted to bring it up to todays standards . We probably should have extended the log stripper but i didnt want to hide the splitter knife . Always open to ideas on how to make it better it also has a valve to slow it down to make it more user friendly to people who want to split slower plus i didnt have to wait 18 months to order an easton made my buddy at smore firewood built it in just a few weeks
Buster 4.0😂 Andrew Easton should buy that design. That splitter is incredibly fast. Must be the larger ports on the cylinder? And I agree, it's almost too fast. One second of not paying attention...
Combination of alot of things 20 hp engine 28 gpm pump oversized fittings an hoses and a special cylinder ware the bore is almost the same size as the cylinder . My buddy at Smore Firewood on you tube did the build . You can see the build videos on his channel and he knows more of the details . Thanks for watching an commenting
Check it out boys it’s fastest wood splitter on U tube . Andrew at EASTONMADE got his hand full to get a wood splitter faster them your . Andrew probably be call you to get it power coat his Color on it buddy . I just e-mail him give your u tube site buddy . Might send you a 45D wood splitter. Watch the turbo on your gas engine don’t blow its up buddy . Carry on boys 😊!
If I were you I’d spend $10 and buy some safety glasses to wear when using this machine and your chainsaw. Lose your site and you’ll need to learn braille to run them……
I bet your happy!! Crazy FAST!👍👍
Wicked happy and it sure is fun to run
Dude, you weren't kidding! This thing is an absolute unit. Nice build buddy!
Thanks my buddy over at smore firewood did the build i wanted something that was fast so we got it down to a 2.2 cycle time i think a eastonmade axis is about 4.5 cycle time . .

Wowsers Lal. Something new in the woodyard thats just the greatest. Love it.
Welcome change.
Thanks just have to make some splitting videos now
Wow that’s a beast of a machine with an amazing cycle time. Very impressive!!
Cheers
Thanks gota count ya fingers every time ya use it lol

Awesome splitter! Well done on that build. That booger is a beast. Congrats Phil👊🏻
Thanks Todd you ever get up this way stop in an give it a test drive

The splitter is all juiced up and ready to go. Be careful don’t let the loader get hurt. That was a monster round.
That was the biggest round i could find in the pile to test it with
If it can't house a cold dew then it's not for phil! Can't beat that log lift either. Badass setup!
Not every splitter has a custom mt dew holder
That’s a well tuned machine!
Thanks Dave we needed it to keep up with all the wood you guys keep giving us
That is a beast of a splitter . I like it a lot !!!!
Thanks took a lil time to get it built but it was worth it .
You have some awesome skills to be able to build a machine like this !!
@@inthebackyardwithdel438 My buddy Dana over at smore firewood is the brains behind the build
Working good, thanks, have a great weekend.
Thanks
Phil, very nice job on your machine I enjoy watching videos of cool projects people build that work. Nice work
Thanks ive sent a couple people your way looking for a similar splitter . Sorry it took so long to get back to ya i ben sick as a dog for 2 weeks an slacked off on responding to comments . It was a fun build i like most anything that goes fast lol
@@AllenFamilyFirewood Thank you phil we appreciate it! Hope you are feeling better.
That is a fast Machine!! Good job!👍
Thanks now i just need to learn how to keep up with it and keep my fingers attached
hi there i think you took my title away , good job , i like this one . john
Maby but you still have way better toys in your yard than i do . love ya videos
the cycle time is the 2.25 second design. you still need to grind the corners on the knife. its only about an 11 ton splitter
It cycles faster than me . I will get the grinder out next week an finish it up . Will that make it faster lol
@@AllenFamilyFirewood it's one of the nicest splitters I've ever seen. Rub oil on it once a month and you're sitting pretty. Powder coat would be cool but that's big money.
Enjoy your videos. place a split or log between the stuck log and the strppers Dana welded on. Watching from Dallas Texas area.
Thanks i will try that Sorry it took so long to respond i ben sick as a dog for 2 weeks and am just now catching up on comments i missed
Definitely pretty fast!
Yup probably gona try it out on some hard wood next
Very impressive splitter, quality welds guy who made it was a good fabricator. 👍😁. Subbed to your channel. 😎
Pat from nw Wisconsin
Thanks for subscribing . Dana at smore firewood did the fabricating an welding . Him an i go way back ,i tend to break an bust alot of things an he has always fixed them so that i cant break them again . He truly can weld an fabricate anything
Its an Easton made axis on steroids , seemingly needs an extra foot on the table but , very nice build
Thanks i didnt want the extra table because i wanted the wood after it was split to almost fall on its own down into the conveyor . We added a flow valve to control the speed so we can slow it down for regular people to be able to run it . Honestly a 2 second cycle time is to fast im 8 weeks along in recovering from chopping my thumb 75% off
Wow!! You have a hoss of a splitter sir. We’ll done!! I especially like the handy cup holder! I just subscribed.
Thanks we just finished giving it a makeover an figured it ought to have a mt dew holder .Thanks for the subscription
That's a good workhorse that will definitely keep you busy nice
It will definitely split wood in a hurry
What are you doing, making kindling? For real , that is a fast working machine you have there pal. 👍🇺🇸
We are making bundle wood but as a rule most of our sales are for small split wood . We do have some kindling videos we put out recently. That splitter demands all ya attention when running it . Trust me I know but luckily they were able to put my thumb back on .
Holy cripes, that is something. 👍👍
Thanks it aint real perdy but it sure is fast we might paint it this winter to fancy it up a bit
🤘
It sure is alot faster now with the upgrade Smore Firewood did for us
@@AllenFamilyFirewood they seem like wicked good people.
That’s awesome, very fast. Now I want a vertical 😆

Definitely going to have lot wood to stack. Nice and fast I need a faster splitter. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Probably need my wife stacking full time now
That's not a firewood processor. That is a smile factory. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
I do love running that splitter but ya really gota be focused on what your doing with as fast as that thing cycles .
Wow! That is fast! I have been looking to build a splitter similar to how yours is lade out.
Thanks Dana over at Smore firewood on youtube did the build and has some videos on it
@@AllenFamilyFirewood Thanks, I will check it out.
Found you again! Lost you when last phone died a horrible death
Lol, welcome back Bill!
I have been running powersplit for years .how much would you build me one for I am being serious. I'm needing another vertical spliter for my company I understand that you don't build them to sale but I would like to have one.
You should contact dana . They have a you tube page called smore firewood
🤘Crazy fast!
Thats impressive, love it!
Thanks it sure spits the wood out in a hurry its definitely faster than me .
That thing is awesome!👍🏻
Thanks it was well worth the wait . it aint real perdy but wow its sure is fast . Maby some day i will get some paint on it to fancy it up a bit
Sheesh! She fast!!
sure is fast gotta be careful!
7 mins until you get this show on the road - rolls eyes...
Doin the best we can we have only ben on you tube for a couple months and are still learning
Really like your channel and have been going over your videos on your vertical splitter, would like to ask your permission to use some of your ideas to revamp my homemade splitter? Know you would never know I did but feel it not right to use your ideas without permission.

Thanks This is what i love about this huge wood family lots of great ideas . Next time i stick a piece im going to try that . Thanks again for the great idea
Good Afternoon- That thing is fast
Heck ya smore firewood built it to be the fastest splitter out there an as usual he delivered
Wow !! That thing is smokin fast ! You have to be a happy man ! 🪵🪓👍👏🇺🇸 Rick
Ow ya .... It was a long time in the making but we got it all back together an running great . Sure is alot faster than the way it was set up before an now i dont need the tractor to run it
I like that splitter Dana the man
He sure is . Is this the Cecil i ben hearing about from dana that loves to split huge rounds ?
@@AllenFamilyFirewood yes
Wow that is crazy 🤪 thats a machine that one should be proud of for sure. Are you using a dual hydraulic pump on that thing ? You may have inspired me to make one 😄
It has a 28 gpm pump with a 20 hp engine . My buddy at Smore Firewood on you tube did the build an you can see the build videos on his channel
Impressive brother.
Thanks great name an thanks for watching
That is one of the fastest splitter I’ve seen especially the return stroke.
I have a buddy thats a wiz at building stuff like that . I told him i wanted fast an thats what he made for me . It sure can split wood in a hurry . If you look back in our first videos 5 months ago you can see what the splitter used to look like before he upgraded it .
I like the foot pedal design. Powersplit you have to lift your leg up too high. You could even split with left foot.
Thanks We designed it to be run with either foot an a short throw to help make it faster
Great video!
Thanks!
That’s a beast!
Thanks we are perdy happy with it now i just need to find time to use it
That thing looks faster than an axis. Well build design. The more you run it the slower it will seem to be.
Ive put a few cord threw it an it aint got any slower yet lol . it is a lil faster the cycle time from down to back is 2.2 sec but it also has a valve on the back so i can slow it down but that takes the fun outa it
It's gotta be way faster than the Axis. And stronger.
Wow so whats the trick to get it this fast? Can I speed my axis up an put a valve on it slow it down when I want? Thank you. Done a great job!!!!
@@rogerl8488 I didn’t build it so I don’t know but if you go an look up s’more firewood on UA-cam he has some of the build videos on there channel an you can leave Dana a comment asking about it as he is the guy that built it

Yup ive thought about that many times since it happened
Awesomeness thing is fast may i ask how many gallon per hour pump and how big motor

a good log splitter
Thanks John! I'm very happy with it! Appreciate you watching!
Pretty cool man
Thanks
Hi what the make of your log splitter please or is it homemade
Its home made you can find some of the build videos over at smore fire wood on you tube
What are the old brake rotors for that are hanging on the conveyor?
Ha HA good eye . We re built the conveyor an when we did i didnt get it balanced right so the first time i sent wood up it tipped over lol . So i hung a couple rotors on the end to balance it . Your the first to notice it great question . Dont forget to sign up for the chain saw in todays sundays video . And sorry it took so long for me to get back to you
S'mores upgrades to Buster made it a Lamborghini. Very impressive. Like your setup. Mike🔥🪵🇺🇸
Shes a hot rod for sure
Next time a piece gets stuck, just put a chunk of wood between wood below and steel stop above....then it will pop right out.
Thanks i tryed it an it works great . Thanks for the idea an sorry it took so long for me to get back to ya . Dont forget to enter in today sundays video for the 572 xp chain saw

If anyone can do it Dana can but he is always right out strait this time of yr . Best time is to catch him in the fall or winter months for big projects
I see at least 2 design flaws I'd definitely change but overall its 80% a great splitter the design seems strikingly familiar though...🤔😂

You’re wood splitter is sweet
Thanks we are very happy with it
Have to make up a new name for the wood splitter lighting strike 😊 travel 186,000 per sec . Lol
That sounds good but we are gona stick with busta
💪🇸🇪🍻
Yep, it fast-little too fast for old guy like me..
Ya same here i was a ball of sweat trying to keep up with it after only half an hr
kinetic is faster mine is 1 sec splitts crazy and dangerous! but your build is very nice!
Yes kinetic is faster . We should have said fastest vertical or fastest hydraulic
Check it out boys it’s fastest wood splitter on U tube . Andrew at EASTONMADE got his hand full to get a wood splitter faster them your . Andrew probably be call you to get it power coat his Color on it buddy . I just e-mail him give your u tube site buddy . Might send you a 45D wood splitter. Watch the turbo on your gas engine don’t blow its up buddy . Carry on boys 😊!
Lol i dont think Andrew is to worried about ole busta
If I were you I’d spend $10 and buy some safety glasses to wear when using this machine and your chainsaw. Lose your site and you’ll need to learn braille to run them……
I will work on that
Nice machine. Your crazy for using a chain saw like that.
Its kinda like doing a bore cut when your cutting a tree down
Buy a stick of paraffin wax and just rub it all over that table and your wood rounds will move much easier and just reapply as necessary.
Great idea i will try that .. Thanks
