Happy Birthday
Noco is junk!! Customer service is worse
Happy Birthday Mike. After watching you split wood with the new splitter I believe it’s going to be a lot slower than the one you have. That only has 1 blade and the old one has up to 6.
I am sure the manufacturer could figure out a head replacement system... maybe a "boot" system that can slide onto the single wedge to give you a 4 or 6 way head...
@@robertcole3998 I do believe even I could figure out how to make a six way wedge for that thing. The question is would it be strong enough to push a four or six way wedge.
@@nathanscott7910 good point, but generally a unit like that would not have anything less than a 22ton cylinder and for the nice clean/knot free wood I see most people with that would be fine for a 6 way wedge... elm or gnarly maple maybe not...
Happy Birthday Mike, I'd say i hope the family spoils you but we all know you are one of the luckiest men around.. beautiful family and TOY HEAVEN.. that log splitter is impressive, simple, articulate and the mobility makes it a pleasure.. be interested to see how it holds up after a few cords of wood get processed through it.
Happy Birthday Mike! I was standing in my kitchen the other day when I caught something out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was a person and was about to go out and ask them if I could help them when I saw a doe come charging out from behind my shed. She was about 25 feet from the house and ran across the yard into the garden which was about a 60-foot run. She was immediately followed by a six-point buck who was followed by a two-point buck. Both bucks froze when I called for Ann to come look and we watched them for about five minutes. The six-point buck was nice and large, but the two-point buck was a little smaller. Great video thumbs up.
Happy Birthday!!
The splitter looks pretty sharp. Movable without having to spend time hooking up to drag it and the conveyer to where you need it. The foot pedal looks nice and convenient, however be careful. Hands can get wild and wooly and sneak into places they shouldn't be. Could make for a terrible oopsie.
Pretty slick machine. Happy birthday Mike. If my father was still alive he’d be 107 today the 22nd of October. I’m sure if he was still alive he’d love your channel too.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIKE! 🎉 Sorry to say but I see the problem with that self-propelled log splitter already. There seems to be ALOT more log maneuvering with the vertical splitter than the Wolf Ridge. I think that it would add a good bit of time to the whole process than it’s worth.
Happy Birthday Mike, looking at the new splitter I thought it would be great for making your bundle wood as you can manage the size easier. Hope all the family are well. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The Chomper made by Rainier Corp. Eliminate cutting the rounds and turns logs into firewood automatically. All you need to do is winch the whole log into the machine, just hook up the winch cable and go no touch!!!
Happy Birthday Mike! While the new splitter is more mobile, it seems slow and inefficient compared to your current setup.
May be too early to draw conclusions, but the vertical cut requires more hands-on activity to shove the split pieces on to the conveyor. It gets a thumbs-up for its capability to be moved around, but I'm not confident its an improvement.
Levy keeps hitting home runs……production quality with music and all was spot on. Keep up the great work.
Should be a nice addition to the Woodyard.. especially when you are making bundle wood..
Happy Birthday Mike and may you have many more. The new splitter/conveyer looks good. may be especially good for the elderly or physically challenged. also like that you left so many trees around the mini cabin, makes it more of a challenge. missed seeing the rest of your crew, tell them hi and give the four-legged crew some lubbin and rubbin. be safe and have a day! Richard
Good evening. Reminds me of a Eastonmade Axis only self propelled.
It allows a more precise split for retail wood sales. But you could do it with a horizontal splitter but it's time consuming get the bucked piece where you want it vs the vertical. IMO, 2 cents, blah,blah
Hi Mike. I have no experience log splitting except for an axe but, I see a major of issues here it's labor intensive with a lot of handling of the round both splitting it and then moving it onto the conveyor. I think to trade your Wolf Ridge for this would not be a good choice. I am very interested in your opinion. Happy Thanks Giving.
Seems like the actual splitter wedge needs to be longer. When you were splitting some of the bigger logs the splitter wasn't long enough to split the whole thing in one pass. I agree with all the other comments about the wedge needing to be a 4 or 6 way. That would make it much faster and more efficient.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIKE! Seem to me to be not only slower than the Wolf Ridge but also more hazardous as you must turn and handle each round more often, opening up for more chances to get your gloves or, worse yet, fingers trapped. The idea that you can drive to your site may be suitable for some folks but it would also mean more time handling the end product vs just splitting in your wood yard. For me this would be a thumbs down.
Happy birthday Mike. Keep it young. Nice splitter Mike and very versatile. It's nice that companies want to preview machines on your channel. It gives your viewers a chance to see in action before they purchase. stay safe.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE may this day bring you happiness and joy.
pretty impressive piece of kit there Mike, the only 2 things thats could be improved upon is replacing the drive chains on the wheels with toothed drive belts to prevent corrosion and snapping, i am sure split force could find a stock toothed belt without too much problem, and the second thing is a slightly longer splitting blade by 3 or 4 inches to enable easier/faster splitting of larger logs :) just my two pence worth
Happy Birthday Mike! Wish you many more. That log splitter is a game changer for older people ( like me ) I like the idea of it being mobile and can easily adjust and move it. The conveyor is nice also to easily load into a trailer or back of a pickup truck. Looks really nice, would love to see how it holds up! Thanks for sharing and have a great dinner with you family tonight! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Happy Belated Birthday Mike! Alway get to watch your outdoor adventures…🎉
Would be nice to see if they come up with a 4 or 6 way splitter wedge attachment, that would cut down on a lot of time with playing around with the wood.
Mike - Happy Birthday #56 🎂💥 Nice setup they have with the self propelled splitter… I like it. My first observation is that you can still split more wood per hour with your Wolf Ridge because of the 4 and 6 way wedges. The ergonomic design and large working area make it easy to customize the size of your splits if you want small, medium or larger pieces -vs- the 4 and 6 way wedge on the WR. I also like the hands free foot control. 👍
Mike, have you ever posted how many times you or your equipment touches the wood from first cut to final fire or sale to customer.?
Happy Birthday Mike! I can see that splitter being great for guys that cut in the woods and then have to haul it somewhere else to dry/store. Split it into your truck or trailer, and away you go. That said, for your level of production, I think the Wolf Ridge is still the best game in town for that volume.
happy birthday Mike congratulations enjoy
Mike, your woods are beautiful throughout the year; however, in the fall, they are simply beautiful for all of us to enjoy. I could sit for hours and watch the sun and the end of the day come each and every day. Thank you for the beautiful sunset through the forest..
Happy Birthday Mike...Love the view from the mini cabin, beautiful. Hey that is a great log splitter, i'll check out their website fo sho. Hope ya get a deer. Turkeys are inquisitive little fowls are they not? > have a blessed day.. from SE Texas Bear 🎂
Happy Birthday Mike! God bless you with many more. 💕💕
Happy Birthday Mike the splitter/ conveyer unit looks nice but from my chair there is to many extra steps for you vs the wolf ridge . Just my opinion have a great day 🎉
Happy Birthday Mike. I believe all good people were born in October or at least I'm partial. LOL I built the first commercial log splitter in 1977. I took it to the Chainsaw Event in Stephensville Wisconsin. The next year there were many manufacturers who also had built one similar to mine. Log splitters all stayed basically the same until recent years and all the sudden there are so many nice features that have been added. To be honest with you, if I were a customer of yours, I would prefer wood that was split on your machine. I feel the quality of the split is much better. Also, there are no safety features built into the self propelled splitter. To be honest, it made my wife and me a little nervous watching you split with it. I hope they will be able to make that machine safer to operate in the future.
I agree with you on the safety issue.
@@davidmorse8432 I do agree, I know some folk's hand-eye coordination isn't that robust!! And I'd be very worried with kids, that's not something Id want them helping with & I could imagine this looks like a kids paradise as they love to help with chores like this!!
Happy birthday Mike hope you have a good one.
I hope you had a HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!! Great views from the mini cabin, I also love when the opportunity happens to just sit out and watch nature in all its glory. Who needs therapy when you have nature like that to put life into perfect perspective???
I’m not a firewood man but that new splitter seem to me a whole lot slower than the red one. And maybe more dangerous. Like I said I’m not a splitter guy but the red set up was slick.
Definitely like the Wolfe Ridge splitter design best and most efficient. The new self-propelled splitter looks dangerous. Enjoy the great videos, Mike!!!
I agree its a danger to your hands and fingers. and slower then the W / R..
It's not dangerous!!!! Keep hands on side an middle of log pretty simple people!
@@rogerl8488 It's only dangerous to people with no common sense, which is most people these days.
Happy birthday Mike 🎈 awesome splitter but the one you have I think is faster.thank you for the video stay safe 👍
Happy Birthday Mike!
Pretty cool splitter. Can’t wait to see more splitting with it but so far I like it.
I love watching your videos. You have a great place and it’s relaxing watching all of the equipment run.
Great views and hunting setup. Happy hunting.
Happy birthday Mike🎉 besides being slower this one needs more manhandling of the timber rotating to split more and then to move onto conveyer. You’re not getting younger all of that adds up my friend.
Cool looking log splitter. It’s an all in one machine. Perfect setup for a small to average size wood processor.
Happy Birthday, Mike! 🎂🎉
mike, this type of splitting wood is awesome, I have a splitter international, timber devil with 2 splitting heads and 2 log lifts. easy to do 1000 cords a year. a tip just as easy to stack your rounds on the ground in a row, and have the trailer backed up to the front of your splitter, then as you move the unit backwards it fills the trailer from front to back, although we use a processor now we use this type of unit for our re-splits we do around 1000 cords a year and have been for 32 years. Have fun.
Happy Birthday Mike! I like the design of the Split Force with splitter and conveyer together, and the self propelled function is really nice for easier positioning I believe. Being self propelled I'm thinking it is not towable, and has to be trailered, which might be a negative for moving it between properties for some people. I checked out the website and it shows, "get a quote", which we all know means they will charge you as much as they think they can get from you, so kind of a negative for me. Have a day!
I drive mine woodsplitter on a heavy duty dolly
Good evening and Happy Birthday. For the Philippines
As I tell all my friends: happy happy happy birthday 🎂!!! I watch EVERY ONE of your videos but rarely have time to comment anymore since I retired… sounds weird doesn’t it? Marcus from Chesapeake Virginia.
Happy Birthday Mike! Hope you had a great day! Take care and stay safe bud! Hello to Melisa, Hunter and Eva! God bless you all!✝️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice firewood producing weather Mike! Happy birthday ya ol fart !!!!!
Hi Mike! Happy birthday 🎁🎈🎂🎉! I am very impressed with the Split Force 11/16 T. I am helping my 10 year old granddaughter build a firewood business and I believe that the SF 11/16T is a perfect system for her to grow into. She has a Split-Fire 1165 and a Amish made bundler currently. She has a stand in my front yard for bundles and loose stacks which is doing very well. She is becoming very independent for a 10 year old. She is cleaning up all my dead wood on my farm, besides having two tree services dropping off logs for processing. Really enjoy your videos.
Happy birthday. Gotta say it, the Wolfe Ridge splitter is much safer and more efficient.
It looks like a good wood splitter but I’m thinking it’s slower than the Wolfridge because of the single wedge for splitting🤷♂️😊👍
Happy Birthday Mike 🎈🎉🎈
Congratulations, Mike, on having survived yet another orbit around Old Sol, and with style. I pray that the good Lord will grant you many happy, healthy returns of the day.
Happy Birthday Mike!
Happy Birthday Mike!
Happy Birthday Mike!
I looked at the split force site, I’ll never understand why folks don’t put prices on the products they sell. Seams to me a real waist of everyone’s time to “request “ a quote, or call them. Put your price on the page, and I’ll decide if it’s in my budget or not. Then if I call you, your likely dealing with a buyer and not a tire kicker. SMH .
Happy birthday Mike.
Ya oughta contact a swimming pool company, ask them to install a pool for your family to review
What a view you have there Mike, gorgeous!! Happy Birthday also!🎉
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love you guys.
Happy birthday Mike!
If you really wanted to beef up your production, get a self feed self cut setup and just load logs on it. Otherwise it seems like your going backwards. Da! 🤔
Stack of pancakes this AM while I watch you stack.Have a good firewood 🪵 producing weekend and Happy Birthday 🎉.Bag a Buck and enjoy that dinner out.
Happy Birthday Mike
Happy Birthday Mike
Happy Birthday Mike
Hi Morgans, I really like the new splitter, especially like that you can very simply choose the size of wood you want. I really like the wolf ridge as well. Loading up the bucket with rounds makes it very nice to work with. Cut a bunch of rounds, load them on the bucket, move the tractor into position, and split away. I love it!! Have a day!! Jay from Pa.
Needs a 4 way splitter, Too slow, Dangerous having that sucker coming down towards your hands.
Happy birthday Mike. Nice new toy, but its too slow for you. too much handling. Have a great weekend
Self propelled but much slower production. And don’t neglect Melissa on her BD, a pool would be nice present.
first: Happy Birthday to you Mike! Have fun at the cabin later & hope you get something.
That spliter looks nice but you have to handle the wood more and is slower than the Wolf Ridge by far. Self-propeled is nice but production is the name of the game. Go Wolf Ridge!
Happy Birthday Mike. Congratulations on your Day. ❤👍👏
Thanks for the demo, for my use this would be perfect, the ability to move it around under its own power is a huge plus for me, it may not be for everyone but that’s ok too, and Happy Birthday to you!
Wolf Ridge I think is ur best way to go. But I also know that u r the king when it comes to splitting wood. So I sure u know and a lot more than I know about the new one. Just seem a whole lot more movement with the blue one.
Happy birthday Mike. As usual, you are using state of the art technology to make our lives a bit easier. If we could just get by without spending an arm and a leg for these handy machines. As usual, I'm taking notes.
Happy birthday Mike! Can see that self propelled having its place with the dump trailer combo but love the Wolf Ridge setup y’all have.
Happy Birthday Mike. I’m actually surprised you have not yet gotten a full processor to deal with the long length logs rather than chainsaw work.
Happy Birthday Mike, I will celebrate mine tomorrow. Now to the splitter, I can see where this one is not going to be as fast as the Woodbridge. You are handling each piece of wood and the trash from the wood can interfere since the wood has to stand upright. The other splitter the wood just goes right on the conveyer you don’t have to handle each piece. Another thing when you stack wood on the other you can just roll the next on down no lifting or holding in place. Love watching your videos.
Happy Birthday mike
Good morning Hunter 👋👋😸😺and family and friends 😸 Happy Caturday everyone 😸😸😺 Happy Birthday Mike 😸😺
Good morning!
Happy Caturday!🐈😼
I like the foot operated control. Leaves both hands to work the wood. Also the vertical feature over the horizontal.
That splitter is pretty slick, if you like vertical splitting. Cycle time is fast enough, but a bit of flumbin around.
The reason people make no money and charge so much per cord is because they touch the wood way to much......
I used to tell my customers I don't sell seasoned wood or deliver but my price per cord is 150$.....and it's in a pile outside the first year my customers would buy 2 cords from me and a cord of seasoned from someone else at 250$
After that first year they were loving it....
They would commonly get a pick up truck at a time too as they were all local people.....
I sold about 100 cord per year and everyone was happy....
If I was delivering any wood it was green and 225 per cord.....I did get ahead of the game a couple years and had some 6 month seasoned seasoned.....I charged another 25.00 for seasoned wood...
We live in New Jersey and have some hot days so I've found that 6 months seasons wood ok....about 19-22 percent moisture by the time they took it home and stacked it usually it would be perfect when they started burning it.....I don't like over seasoned wood....after 18 months the wood is definitely over seasoned
Yes a lot slower more hand work and one chain to go up the arm. ⬇️🔝⬇️🔙🤥
I can't believe Mike is cheating on Wolfe Ridge! LOL
Should have a battery enclosure, IMO.
The other log splitter faster mike and happy birthday
You're other splitter seems to be alot quicker and not as much handling of the wood, just seemed a little more efficient.
For maximum output, you could set the Wolf ridge splitter up along side the conveyor and you could run one and Eli could run the other. Twice as fast getting the wood split. I liked the view from above watching the wood get split. Lets you see the "cutting" of the rounds better.
Very cool design. Gotta love companies that innovate new concepts
What chris going to think your using someone else's log splitter. Lol
Mike, it looks like the split Force splitters log lift base could be a little bit bigger so that you can fit a larger round or maybe a couple of rounds on it. At least in a video doesn't look very big. Bill H from Cranberry township
Also with the new blue splitter not as easy for two people to work on it. It’s probably for a one person operation
Happy belated birthday Mike. Hope this isn't a permanent replacement for the Wolf ridge. The Wolf ridge was a great machine and it had a 6-way wedge. Bill H from Cranberry township
Happy 29th birthday Mike may there be many more happy returns. This mobile log splitter seems intuitive. Probably a little bit to get used to but you will prevail Mike you always do. I don't care what color it is but I am used to seeing RED only. Hello Hunter. Thanks for sharing. Ed
Happy birthday! Unless you can get different splitting heads you are handling wood a lot more than the set up you currently have, you know that all that time handling the material costs money. Thanks, have a great day!
I really prefer your Wolf Ridge equipment Mike. This new unit is okay, but not the quality of the WR.
HI MIKE all the new wood 🪵 splitters now have log lift on them it's a real back saver not like all of the old 1S where U have 2 set wood down and pick it up all day a table or a chair makes a difference 2 set wood your back will thank 😊 U OMG 1O 22 2O22
Looks like a whole lot more handling vs the splitter you have
Happy Birthday Mike and like the little Wood Splitter .
Happy Birthday Mike!
I dont think this machine is nearly as efficient as your current one, regardless of all the bells and whistles on the demo
