Have no clue why so many thumbs down. U run the splitter well. Fast precise and good hand placement. Can’t ask for much more. I got super split. Had it forever since 80s. Still use it today
AWESOME MACHINE ! I HAVE 2 DR RAPID FIRE LOG SPLITTERS AND THEY ARE VERY SIMILAR MACHINES. WE ALSO PRESPLIT OUR LOGS WITH A SKID STEER SPLITTER INTO A IBC TOTE AND THEN REPLIT INTO SMALLER CHUNKS INTO ANOTHER IBC TOTE . WE THEN USE A SKID STEER WITH FORKS TO MOVE IBC TOTES . WE SELL BY THE WHEELBARROW . SO THIS IS THE BEST MOST EFFICIENT WAY WE HAVE FOUND SO FAR TO MAKE FIREWOOD. I WOOD LIKE TO HAVE A GRAPPLE SAW TO HELP WITH THE CUTTING OF ROUNDS . WE HAVE LOOKED AT THE FIREWOOD PROCESSORS BUT IT SEEMS YOU HAVE TO ORDER WOOD TO MAKE THEM WORK WITHOUT JAMMING . WE HAVE A TREE SERVICE AND THE RECLAIMED LOGS WE GWT ARE NOT ALWAYS PERFECT AND WOULD JAM-UP MOST PROCESSORS I HAVE SEEN SO FAR . THANKS FOR THE AWESOME VIDEO !
nice job and it's good to see someone who isn't sfraid to work and get the job done. I seen the replys about safety and watched your hand positions, the were always on top or to the side of the wood, never covering the end, I think good habits far outweigh weraing the "proper safty gear" and expecting it to make up for poor work habits. Good job and sure makes my hyd splitter look slow ;-)
Looks like a production man who knows what the hell he's doing and gettin it done. The Super Split is one helluva splitter. For all you folks out there whining about how he's running the machine or not..the closest you've probably ever come to a little wood is behind your zipper.
I work with one of these every Saturday, have split LOTS of wood. What we do is use a 37 ton vertical, hydraulic splitter to bring much larger things down to this size, THEN use the super splitter for a finishing splitter, MUCH more time efficient.
There is no arguing the speed with which this thing works is impressive, but unless you burn 20 cord of wood each year or want all you wood splitting done between 3 and 6:30 this afternoon, there is no need to split so fast. I still enjoy splitting all of our wood with a maul by hand. It is great exercise and gives the sense of a job well done.
I like to think of it this way. Cost of machine, fuel, time VS the cost of sewing fingers back on, surgery, medications, hospital bills for many years to come
A lot of comments about speed and fingers being too close... I have one of these splitters. My left hand is always on the handle and my right hand is always on the middle of the log. Very fast. Very safe. I go about the same speed as this guy. It's an awesome splitter. Also, mine is electric (220v) and you would think it couldn't do stump wood or crotch sections, but it does just as easily as my old superslow hydraulic splitter.
Sweet little splitter. Now with a belt on the end something to dump a tracker can or something this would be almost no picking up. And would save lots of time bending to pick it up off the ground...
NIce job. Supersplitters rock (i have one too). Now, ya gotta stack all that wood (that's the fun part! lol). Have fun with that and, as always, be careful.
Actually this guy is being safe. I have one of these as well and the speed is actually an even working pace.....with lots of wood to split, the sooner and more quickly it's split, the more quickly it can properly season. I've used hydraulic splitters in the past and am not going back to them.
If we'd have had one of these when I was a kid, my youth would have been a whole lot easier. We use to split wood with axes, wedges and sledgehammers. I use to climb trees that were 80 to 100 feet tall. I'd limb them on my way up, and cut them off in stove lengths on the way down. Learned how to sharpen chainsaw blades and knives from a very early age. Daddy didn't allow any of us kids to be slackers. I guess he figured he fed, clothed ya, and housed ya, so he was going to get his moneys worth. I see and hear kids now bellyaching and complaint about having to keep their room tidy and taking out the trash. That would have worked all of about two seconds with Dad. Dad was a tough old man but he was fair, never seen him ask anything from one of us kids that he couldn't do himself.
Tony Hill You're probably right, but I think it made me a better man in the long run. Learned about "an honest days work" from it. And as far as the "foster care" statement, the pack of kids that I ran with were "ALL" raised by a small community. Everyone knew every one, and you helped each other out. It didn't make "No Difference" as to whom they were or the color of their skin... If they needed help, you helped. And you weren't allowed to take money for it either. If you did and your Mom and Dad found out, you'd have to give the money back, plus get extra chores on top of it. We were fortunate enough to have a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, a bed to sleep in at night and "all the food you'd ever want to eat (either at your parents house, and friends house, or as payment for doing chores and helping out your neighbors)". It might have not been the "ideal" situation, but what we have today isn't as good either. But this is just the thoughts and ramblings of an old man, what the hell do I know.
Never was fond of a worm drive, bad shit can happen so damned fast with one, but if you are as proficient as yourself with one you can split a hell of a pile of wood in short order with one that's for sure! Thanks for your post!
I owned the first generation super split over 20 years ago. Never had any safty issues but the rack would bend after a few hundred cord. Just saying!! Never found anything it would not split though.
they are beautiful machines. the people who are commenting how you should go slower to stay safe have never worked with these. After using these machines for a bit you can go fast and you know how to keep your extremedies safe.
this would have been helpful when i had to split all of the wood in my grandmas yard. all i had was an ax, sledge hammer, and a wedge. that is a lot of work
Thats an awesome splitter. All these haters wanting you to split some sort of steel infused wood I just don't understand. Why? Why on earth would anyone want to split some sort of woodtanium when normal wood keeps you warm just fine and splits like a dream with this thing? Great video, bro.
hand on top of the wood = fine, hand on the end = finger gone. You should watch this yourself just to see how close your fingers are to that blade. Still want this machine though.
Many thanks for this upload, looks a great machine, the only comment I would have is the apron where the wood is 'stacked' ready to re-cut might benefit from being larger and maybe cutting logs into a bin? Take care mrbluenun
A perfect setup for injury due to complacency. There is no need to have a hand on the end of the log near the wedge. Bad habits like this will eventually get you hurt badly and likely cause you to reconsider the actual cost of heating with wood given the potential for injury.
Actually it would be pretty hard to actually lose a digit / limb. . First off, the plunger moves quite slow---it has a shit ton of force behind it, but it is moving slow. Slow = safe. . Second, the plunger doesn't push right against the splitter---it just gets near it. You could break an arm / leg if it got in the way, but because it doesn't press right against it, it won't cut right through. A finger on the other hand would be fine, as long as no wood fragments also got in the way.
Every tool has it's place. If you're stuck with large twisted wood all the time you're either unlucky or an idiot. If I run across really twisted and branch filled wood I used to cut it up with the saw or leave it in the woods. These days I slice them up and seal the ends for wood turning. I wouldn't need a machine bigger than this and I own acreage covered in oak. I hate waiting around for my slow splitter but it'll go through just about anything. Adding this to my arsenal would make life so much nicer!
This in itself is a nice machine, BUT it would be far better safety-wise if it was a multi-splinter, thus no necessity to have one hand on the log as well as watching where the cut-off’s are going, to many chances for an accident. The other point is, most of the work is done before the machine is ever used, the bucking and quarter splits or more are all completed, as well as the stuff stacked ready to be further processed. Kinda have to think "Do I really need this fancy splinter when I could split as much" excluding the time taken for stacking, it is debatable whether this machine is actually of any use. IF the machine had a stacker on the end, for instance the square net bags and a pallet for stacking automatically then it would make all the difference! I think having worked on this for a day you would have your back telling you "I want a rest!"
Great job. I'm impressed at the quantity of wood put out in under ten minutes. It would take me 3 hours or so just to do what you did in five minutes. Gotta get one.
I have a RapidFire, which is similar to this machine, and I use WD-40 on top of the I beam, and use it on the little wheel behind the ram which helps retract the ram at the end of the cycle. I assume that is what he uses his for as well. Just an educated guess.
If any limb gets caught in that, IT'S A WRAP! I think the only safety feature is that it will only chop once per lever pull. He does need safety glasses though.
They are cool machines, can split a lot of wood in a short amount of time. I prefer hydraulics. If things go bad, you can stop and reverse. These machines allow you to take short cuts for speed, just toss too small a block of wood in there, lose wedge reference and lose the tip of your finger.
If this machine were use on a jobsite OSHA would shut it down immediately. When the control handle is released the plunger should automatically retract. The designer did not have the safety of the user in mind, that is assuming the designer had one. If you choose to purchase one, get your local millwright or hydraulic shop to change the control spool if you want both your hand safe.
Thata boy! My dad and I own a Super together and with 2 people who know what they're doing you can really kick a tree's ass, especially if it's cold out :)
This video is sped up but the machine is still very fast. They cost about 2400 bucks though....If you look at how spindly the frame is on this thing you have to wonder where all the money is going. Also on the really big ,heavy stuff I don't like lifting them off the ground.
Very nice. I ,love my SuperSplitter J. I ended up doing several mods to it like a bigger out feed table with drop down adjustable legs, and a log lift.
@TheAnonymouse01 yes probably exported at incorrect frame rate or source file wrong rate, these things are tough!!! There is a video were someone had added another flywheel, the thing rips through everything! yes a hydraulic log splitter goes through knots better. I personally prefer my splitting maul which I added a solid steel handle to , it weighs 20lb, and will go straight through oak, it is also a good work out!
I wonder how it would go on with knotted wood. I like the idea that it's quick and easy to use but not all woods come so simple to cut like the video shows.
Nice but I would put a dump cart at the end so the split peaces go right in, and u don't have to do double work which is picking up the split wood. Work smarter not harder
@Billwis52 The bearing that lift's the rack gear get's gummed up with pitch and the wd40 helps keep it moving so the arm retract's. That is the biggest problem with this machine for me.
I have a splitter like that in my yard (it's my neighbor's).....nice and fast but the speed of the battering ram combined with the position of the wedge always keeps me on my toes.
looks easier than a vertical. I didn't finish the video but I'd like to know how a knot in the wood is handled (was a pain with an axe and vertical splitter)
I am in the market for a splitter. The only think I wish this thing had was a taller knife and the hitch was on the back side. This way I could split then drive away.
Have no clue why so many thumbs down. U run the splitter well. Fast precise and good hand placement. Can’t ask for much more. I got super split. Had it forever since 80s. Still use it today
That is the best splitter I've ever seen. Smart design, no bending.
AWESOME MACHINE ! I HAVE 2 DR RAPID FIRE LOG SPLITTERS AND THEY ARE VERY SIMILAR MACHINES.

This is so satisfying but half way through I'm paying close attention to his fingers getting squished between the log and stationary blade!
Looks like a production man who knows what the hell he's doing and gettin it done. The Super Split is one helluva splitter. For all you folks out there whining about how he's running the machine or not..the closest you've probably ever come to a little wood is behind your zipper.

Finest machanical wood splitter I seen yet. As a person who grew up with wood heat I know that speed is ideal
I like to see people work, watching it with a good glas off wine on my cough.
been watching a lot of splitters. so far this seems most efficient.
There is no arguing the speed with which this thing works is impressive, but unless you burn 20 cord of wood each year or want all you wood splitting done between 3 and 6:30 this afternoon, there is no need to split so fast.

Safety goons crack me up. It's a machine if it scares you don't use one safety is as simple as paying attention to what your doing..
That usually what one says before they get into an accident....
VaporheadATC only when one gets complacent or fixated on the task at hand.
very true
Says the guy with 9 fingers.....
Nope! Got it reattached.
Sweet little splitter. Now with a belt on the end something to dump a tracker can or something this would be almost no picking up. And would save lots of time bending to pick it up off the ground...
If anybody is interested I have a video with an older super split, splitting tougher stuff. Check it out!
I'm watching this and keep thinking at any moment your hand is going to get squashed.
NIce job. Supersplitters rock (i have one too). Now, ya gotta stack all that wood (that's the fun part! lol). Have fun with that and, as always, be careful.
I like how you can stand upright and still get a lot of work done. I hate bending over.
The landscaping company I work for has one of these. It's awesome!
I'm in agreement. Plus, many log splitters are the slow hydraulic kind, which are a real pain in the ass to use.
He's going a little fast for me, but the machine seems to handle the load.
Beats the heck out of using an axe !
Thanks.
Actually this guy is being safe. I have one of these as well and the speed is actually an even working pace.....with lots of wood to split, the sooner and more quickly it's split, the more quickly it can properly season. I've used hydraulic splitters in the past and am not going back to them.
I agree. My 20 ton hydraulic splitter may not be as fast but it´ll split about any log. With knots, crotches, and twisted or wild grain
My back hurts just watching you work.
Before the guy walked in. I thought it was a tiny splitter, with lawn mower wheels!
@Xittin most likely it is a man who uses this machine for a living, and knows the machine well, and operates quickly to maximize his profits.
Haha you have obviously used this machine a lot before! You have the rhythm of it down so well and you can go so fast!

This video is strangely entertaining. It's almost like watching a fire.
exactly, i will never use a wood splitter, it takes the fun out of doing work, an axe will always be better than a wood splitter
Nice eye protection and hearing protection.
I think he just takes good care of the engine
I'd be scare to death of that thing, but it's cool to watch.
I owned the first generation super split over 20 years ago. Never had any safty issues but the rack would bend after a few hundred cord. Just saying!! Never found anything it would not split though.

No boring waiting - this machine will cut your fingers off much faster than a regular splitter.
I will get on theseawsome looking machines....but i would have to see it split some nice hard woods like euc,oak,maple,citrus etc.
The idea is to split the wood fast, start a fire, and get back to drinking beer.
Thats an awesome splitter. All these haters wanting you to split some sort of steel infused wood I just don't understand. Why? Why on earth would anyone want to split some sort of woodtanium when normal wood keeps you warm just fine and splits like a dream with this thing? Great video, bro.
That's one BADASS little splitter!!
hand on top of the wood = fine, hand on the end = finger gone. You should watch this yourself just to see how close your fingers are to that blade. Still want this machine though.
That thing feeds on fingers and it's hunnnnnnngry!!
its so fast it blows your hair off your head lol jj - i have a super split - love it- it also has made my hair fall out..... nice vid
how did i go from watching drag racing to here for 8 mins........but i like it even though i dont have a backyard or the trees to cut.....lol
Wow! You work FAST! Looks like you have it perfected!
Dude... You got some talent... fast. I bet the Redwood smells great. Here out east, our best burning wood is maple and beech.
Sweet, my brother-in-law needs one of these.
Great bit of kit mate & you can go at your own pace slow or fast nice
Many thanks for this upload, looks a great machine, the only comment I would have is the apron where the wood is 'stacked' ready to re-cut might benefit from being larger and maybe cutting logs into a bin?

shut off is on the handle on top if you see the log that doesnt split properly he pulls the lever n it retracts it easy peasy.
impressive machine i need to look in to one myself now

I think having worked on this for a day you would have your back telling you "I want a rest!"
Any splitter can cut off fingers. The slightly higher risk in this type is that the blade is just out of sight when loading larger logs.
If we had soft wood like that in australia I would use on of those It would disintegrate on the first bit of york gum or wundoo
Great job. I'm impressed at the quantity of wood put out in under ten minutes. It would take me 3 hours or so just to do what you did in five minutes. Gotta get one.

or Redgum, that stuff is hard to split even with a log splitter if you get a knotted and twisted block.
Nice job. Please try and keep your hand on the topside if the wood being split. Not the end by the wedge. Trust me on this.
I own one with a 7hp honda motor. it does oak just fine unless its overly large rounds with knots
Thata boy! My dad and I own a Super together and with 2 people who know what they're doing you can really kick a tree's ass, especially if it's cold out :)
Probably the most dangerous serially manufactured machine I have ever seen.
Fingers and hands doen't grow on trees.
Why can I watch this all day?
8 mins of this? lol i spose instead of a yule log DVD next christmas i could play this to some christmas music
Never mind his fingers, I reckon he'll be deaf in a couple of hours standing next to that thing.
I like to see it split some aussie box or iron bark... seasoned :-)
This video is sped up but the machine is still very fast. They cost about 2400 bucks though....If you look at how spindly the frame is on this thing you have to wonder where all the money is going. Also on the really big ,heavy stuff I don't like lifting them off the ground.

この動画大好きです。
ずっと見てられる
looks good but i done like how the ram bounces when its retracted.
I'm fascinated with this splitter! He is really fast and spend little or no fuel! I have to buy one! how much is it and where can I buy one? thank you
it operates well but it needs a safety catch like a kick bar
this is hypnotic for some strange reason. someone give that man a beer.
Grew up splitting elm wood . Old twisted grain stuff
@TheAnonymouse01 yes probably exported at incorrect frame rate or source file wrong rate, these things are tough!!! There is a video were someone had added another flywheel, the thing rips through everything! yes a hydraulic log splitter goes through knots better. I personally prefer my splitting maul which I added a solid steel handle to , it weighs 20lb, and will go straight through oak, it is also a good work out!
what you accomplished in 8 minutes would have taken abe lincoln 200 years
thats radical. never sacrifice your members for speed.
Yes, I can see people having accidents with this kind of speed.
When I split wood, I think my time and I don't rush one bit.
I wonder how it would go on with knotted wood. I like the idea that it's quick and easy to use but not all woods come so simple to cut like the video shows.
Nice but I would put a dump cart at the end so the split peaces go right in, and u don't have to do double work which is picking up the split wood. Work smarter not harder
I would not mind helping my dad split wood with this. :)
@Billwis52 The bearing that lift's the rack gear get's gummed up with pitch and the wd40 helps keep it moving so the arm retract's. That is the biggest problem with this machine for me.
the smaller the peice of wood the easier it is to burn, if you throw a big log over a little fire then it wont catch.
Speed or safety, pick one. Looks like a nice piece of kit.
our trees in australia would bend it in a flash ,Its fine for straight grain but gumtrees would be a different story.
I have the DR version of this machine and it will split Osage Orange with ease. It will split whatever you've got!
I have a splitter like that in my yard (it's my neighbor's).....nice and fast but the speed of the battering ram combined with the position of the wedge always keeps me on my toes.
I actually just watched a man split wood for 8 minutes... I officially have no life.
looks easier than a vertical. I didn't finish the video but I'd like to know how a knot in the wood is handled (was a pain with an axe and vertical splitter)
I am in the market for a splitter. The only think I wish this thing had was a taller knife and the hitch was on the back side. This way I could split then drive away.
looks great ! where can I find one and how much ?
