Hello you two. What a crazy little splitter 👍🏼 I love it, 😂 …. Now don’t go working in the dark when the eclipse happens lol. Karen, wow. What a great job 👍🏼. You handled that splitter absolutely great 👍🏼. Now, Phil! He needs a little bit more practice on stacking, lol 😂.
Great job, you two….
It’s definitely a fun productive machine to run a I ended the day with all 10 digits. Thanks Wayne
Hello Phil and Karen. That's a cool piece of equipment. It's similar to buster.might not be as fast,but a all in 1 unit.after the videos I've seen of the old conveor breaking down....I think it would be a nice addition to the woodyard.invite family and friends over,run both.then put on a good old fashioned bbq dinner for everyone 😋 🍻
We’ve been trying to figure out a good way to run both at the same time and get the wood stacked all at the same time . Gona have to pull in some help if we can put it all together but it would be a fun day for sure to do that .
Sweet splitter! We are an hour east of Buffalo and we had total darkness for a few minutes. It was pretty cool! - Tim
We have been very happy with the split force . Ya the eclipse was a dud around here .
Great video! Good work splitting Karen! Total pro! I was a trooper and watched the eclipse with talk!! Paint dry Phil, LOL
Thanks Sue she has really taken to running that splitter . You’re a trooper for sure if ya made it through that part of the video .
Awesome splitter, Karen looks like a pro on it..
For never running a splitter she is picking it up real fast .
Great splitter/conveyor combo! I like what you said Phil, take the splitter to the wood 👏🏻👍🏻 Always nice to try out different equipment
Glad the snow didn’t linger too long on you
That’s the key right there knowing each machines strong points . With that combo you don’t even need a machine to move wood around with . I can see a big row of tree length just start splitting at one end an stack on pallets as ya go or put it in big wind rows no tractor needed .
I remember looking at those machines at the last Bunyan show. A pretty cool machine for sure. I look forward to see y'all put it through it's paces. Take care and stay safe y'all.
Yup Matt was at the Bunyan show with some of there splitters last yr . We are starting to get used to running now . I think ole buster is going to get a break for a few weeks lol
Great job Karen. Phil your doing a nice job stacking
Thanks Wayne! I think he’s a great stacker! 👍😂
I’m perdy sure if I keep having to stack the stacks will start falling over that’s a sure way to get my splitting job back .
Nice looking new toy. It didn't get as dark as I was expecting. It drew huge crowd. Phil I still what the thrill it was either, if I couldn't watch it from my deck it wouldn't have been a big deal to miss it
Thanks were perdy happy with the split force . Ya the eclipse was a dud around here shoulda kept splitting but figured we would see what all the hype was about .
I agree feel watching the eclipse looks like watching paint dry you guys do a great job on videos
Thanks Tracy ya it was a lot boring , can’t believe I gave up a half an hr of splitting on the new machine just to see that .
You got about as much darkness as we got here in michigan. Northern part. Like your behind talk of each other. No hurt intended.
Ya not much to look at here for the eclipse. Don’t mind us we’re just winging it most of the time an having fun but we do try a get some splitting in .
Phil is happier than a kid in a candy store. Great demo. Hopefully you can keep it. lol. See ya at the show soon
Thanks you guys . Rule # 1 around here gota have fun . We will be bringing the split force to the show if someone here in town don’t buy it first .
Cool little splitter. Looks like the table little low for a taller person. Great to be able try stuff out I. The wood yard keep up the good work.
Thanks Dan it is a lil low for me I was thinking I might drive it up on a piece of firewood to bring the height up a bit . Gona have to test that out .
You guys are amazing. Love watching the numbers on your channel increase. Love seeing good people be blessed.
Thanks Cesel we really haven’t done any thing to deserve them kinda numbers all we do is have fun cutting an splitting wood an turn a camera on every few days . The man upstairs will always show us the way .
We were cooking syrup during the eclipse. Man I've never seen so much syrup come out of the rig at one time, it's like something cosmic or something. Lol
lol yup at least you was getting something done during it un like us .
I love it!!! Just like Buster. Exactly the same but different lol!! I agree. Never stack off of the ground.
You nailed it same thing only different. Only 2 rules around here #1 gota have fun #2 no stacking from the ground but if you have to then ya gota have fun doing it .
Hey guys! Great video! I agree it looks like a fun unit to drive where you need it. Have fun!
It’s fun to split with as well kinda nice not having to bring the wood to the splitter
@@AllenFamilyFirewood I agree and I am also a kid at heart! 😁
Nice. Video
Thanks Ralph we appreciate ya watching
Hello Phil and Karen. It’s about time one of these companies gave you something to try out in your. video. Did you check on Buster when you were using this splitter, I’ll bet he was a little upset with the Split Force for moving in on his territory. This could work out great, the both of you could be splitting wood at the same time. His and Hers splitters. Dam, you could drive that thing up to the garage to split wood in bad weather. Just let the conveyor run outside the building into the trailer. Thanks for another good video.
Thanks DonO I don’t want ole buster getting jealous so we might run him for a video in between. We might try running both at once but we would need a few stackers to keep up cause I’m thinking the splits would add up fast . We figured if it rained to much we could rig up a patio umbrella to the mast on the split force an keep splitting . Wouldn’t take to much to do that . Thanks again DonO
Good evening Phil & Karen , I see log 🪵 father in Nova Scotia had same the wood 🪵 splitter for a DEMO. Must send it over across the water from Yarmouth to Maine for you two ❤. I glad your starting to get DEMO , Phil & Karen work hard 😓 to make a awesome videos for us to watch after having supper in the 709 . 😊
We turned down another company to demo a splitter but a yr ago we almost bought one of these so I couldn’t say no on this one . I told you guys a while back we would never be an infomercial. We just like to have fun here an split wood . There’s plenty of other channels out there that do the demos on all the splitters . Not saying I wouldn’t mind demoing a fancy new conveyor or something that’s new to the wood industry.
Well that certainly looked like fun. From first look, wasn't sure about the wedge...looked kinda' lightweight but watching you split, looks like it handles the pine just fine. Karen, next you have to learn how to operate the New Holland. You can stay in the woodyard working when Phil goes out on a free wood run.lol. Y'all take care. Phil I hope you realize what a lucky man you are!
I wasn’t real sure about the knife either but it works just fine . She can drive the Trackter no problem it’s picking things up that she’s not comfortable with . I think with some seat time she can get good at that as well .
I hit the gold mine when I found her . Man up stairs didn’t make many like that .
That is a cool machine looking forward to meeting you guys at the Vermont show
Should be a fun show . We look forward to meeting you as well
Looking forward to meeting with you guys at the Paul Bunyan Show.Might be related.My Last name used to be Allen.
Very nice splitter and conveyor! She's a hard worker , AND the machine did fine also. Attagirl Karen!!🙂 A little mutiny every now and then from stacking is healthy.
She’s really liking that split force . We split today with it a she barely let me have a turn at it .
Great job you two! Looking forward to more videos on it. I think these are pretty cool units, the self-propelled is pretty neat
We was so close to buying one a yr ago an now we actually get to have one to play with for a few weeks . Just being able to bring the splitter and conveyor to the wood in under a minute instead of bringing the logs out an cutting them up an then bringing the rounds to the splitter is a huge time savings to us . I think for anyone that don’t have a machine to move logs around with that this is a great all in one commercial unit .
Nice machine I like that I'm kind of jealous Laugh out loud Well that I hope you're back and everything else it goes along with your body I'm glad for you Stay safe my friend and have a good day
Thanks Frank we been having lots a fun with that split force the last few days . To be honest I’m kinda jealous of the toys you have in your wood yard , I’d give about anything to have an excavator in my wood yard . We always appreciate you watching Frank .
Great vid guys... that green machine looks like a useful tool!!
Fill up those skids for camping season and next winters deep freeze!!
Thanks Greg that’s the plan we’re gona run it while we have it .
Phil, the answer to your question on the small bracket by your knife is, it’s a pickaroon holder. The guy previous to you having it stored his pickaroon in the holder.😊
Thanks that’s what we figured but wasn’t really sure .
Ohhhh smooth machine! Is it cause I’m sentimental that I’m thinking it can’t replace Buster? 🥰 Would be great if you could have both! Karen you’re a natural! Phil I’m betting people hung on through the eclipse just to hear your Mainah accent!😂. I thought it was going to be pitch black up there. Weird. It was here for about 2 mins. It was eerie before and wild during. Miss and love yas❣️
Lol, Buster is here to stay Kim! Yeah, we thought the eclipse would be much darker, but it was still pretty neat. It was darker than what the video showed, but not total by any means. Everything was so quiet just before it happened. Guess that’s it for our lifetime! 🤷♀️
Nice splitter
We like it so far sure is a handy rig .
Total here in my corner of NY. Was out cutting in it. Got dark quick. Could see but not enough to continue. Still have 10 10 and 1. 😅. Got light just as quick.
The 1? Your nose?😂
Ya it was kinda a dud here in gray Maine but ow well . Karen was happy we stoped for half an hr .
@@MicahHughes-zv5zx sure
@@AllenFamilyFirewood yeah, forgot, it was real cloudy. Guess Buffalo had a good show but that's 90ish miles West
Did Split Force make you sign a thumb clause? Asking for a friend. Congratulations guys! The conveyor is definitely an upgrade of the old one!!
😂😂😂
lol good one . We almost bought one of these machines last yr before we built buster . Definitely a fun all in one machine to run an we don’t have to bring the wood to it . Be fun to try it out in the woods .
No splitters are pretty cool. I think they should let you guys keep it longer!!! Like forever! Karen needs her own splitter🤣 The eclipse wasn’t near as dark for us this go around! It was kinda like the sun went under a dark cloud for about 2 1/2 minutes and that was about it. Congrats on getting to use that splitter. Take care.👊🏻
Thanks Todd that would be nice maybe next time . Karen’s really picked up the splitting bug running that machine . Sounds like your eclipse was about like ours not much to see .
Dat what you think. Mrs. Karen said it gone it gone you will said yes mama!!!!!
Lol Jonah, she did pretty good running that splitter!
Amen
Thanks ceasel
That’s pretty cool, but it’s no Buster!!👍👍
It’s not but some of the ideas for buster were from looking at one of these machines . We actually had planed on making buster self propelled but ran out of time . Ole buster is definitely a one of a kind machine .
I missed the Eclipse yesterday, but i seen one today. Unfortunately, it was all beat up, and some junkie was driving it. 😂
Now that funny but I bet you got a better show seeing that than what we saw .
@@AllenFamilyFirewood: it was black too.. 🤣
@@DanielAtkinsFirewood an probably had that loud thumping music coming from it lol .
@AllenFamilyFirewood : no this time. He was a tweaker and trying not to go to sleep in the parking lot 😒
Hey Phil and Mrs Karen , that has to be a fun splitter to operate . Glad yall have it . !! 👍🏻🇺🇸🪵
It is Dell we feel like lil kids having to take turns lol. Seems like every 5 min one of us is taping on the others shoulder saying hay it’s my turn .
Thanks Del! It’s definitely been fun for me…doing something different 👍
Does fine with pine now lets see some crotchy Elm or even stringy Cottonwood. Foot pedal seems high and might be ok for an hour or so but not quite sure about hours 4 through 8.
We did oak with it today that will be Fridays video . I don’t alow elm or willow in our wood yard they ain’t worth the time or effort to cut a split . Don’t have cotton wood up here but if we did I’m sure it would be on that list as well . Time is money an we get all the free wood we want so I don’t waste time on the undesirable stuff .
Looks like just what you need! No changing the front end, leave the forks on. Perfect at your place, buy it! New everything! ,,,,,, Back ups like crazy going to the eclipse, 2 miles at a red light when there is usually 3 cars
Ya only need the tractor to haul the pallets of stacked wood away just drive the splitter to the wood . People sure got crazy trying to get to all the good spots to see the eclipse.
Yes she did show more Thanks
Youll enjoy that split force.. its not as fast as buster but they do good.. i had bought 2 of them back in 2017 .. guys love running em and they have a decent conveyor to load with. Only had one motor go out so far but couldnt tell ya how many hours that little motor had on it. .lol.
They are a nice all in one machine . I think the biggest advantage is it don’t need a machine to bring the wood to it you just drive it to the wood and just keep backing up as you go . That’s a huge time savings right there .
Great video as always. You can speed up the splitter cycle time by slowing down the conveyor, if you want. Buy it. Lol
Thanks Mark we did notice that today when I was playing with the speed controller. That machine can split faster than I can keep up with it . I don’t think most people could keep up with it after about 30 min of feeding rounds to it . It’s not always about the cycle time it’s more about endurance. With just under a 4 second cycle time I’m toast after 45 min and I’m used to running buster . Buster wears me out after 25 min mostly because I’m always trying to go faster than the splitter .
Yep, the Eclipse was a dud for sure, but maybe we were not in the exact path. Nice machine though! Karen you did awesome, and I agree that foot peddle looks to be much safer and user friendly than Buster's. Good for you! nice job today you two!❤💜
I agree for never running a splitter she picked it up quick . The foot pedal a the cycle time make it a lot safer to run than ole buster . Ya the eclipse was a real dud around here . Thanks mom .
If you want to speed things up, split multiple slabs at the same time, then turn 90° and split to firewood size. Also work from the left side to the right
I’m so used to running our vertical splitter it’s hard to change and I’m kinda picky about having all our wood the same size but it’s the first time Karen has ever run a splitter so she is learning as she goes an will probably start doing multiple splits once she gets the hang of it .
I think the gas savings along. Not having to run the geny for the conveyor would pay for itself in no time. And we all know you have been saving for a new conveyor this has both. Pretty impressive unit. It looks really good in your Woodward. Just needs a roof.
Yes a roof would be nice once it gets hot out . I haven’t kept track of the gallons pr cord yet but to be honest I don’t think it’s far off from what we are used to . With buster it’s 5 gallons to do 2 cord an that’s counting the generator fule
Have you guys looked at the 1/3rd cord bags like the ones from shaver? Instead of stacking at all just load into the bags off the conveyor
We have looked at them it’s the unloading part that I’m not sure will work . Last time I looked the 1/3 cord bags cost about $20 each so 60 for a cord . I remember seeing videos of the bags ripping as guys were trying to dump them with a tractor an that could get expensive fast . I’ve been watching Larry an Robins channel as they are swapping over to bags as well .
@@AllenFamilyFirewood I think aj has em around 14 a pop. Some people say they have got 5 years out of some of their log lift bags. Little chain on each side of the forks to go through the loop on the bag and pallet when you dump it. Aj had a video on a that as well. I just started with them and I’m not processing right into them yet but hopefully will be soon. Need a set of grizzly bars off my little processor first.
A self propelled splitter is the way to go. You can go to the wood. It’s very efficient that way. I’ve been eyeballing those for quite a while as well.
Stop down an ck it out if want Russ . That’s the biggest selling point to me you bring it to the wood so there’s no need to have equipment to move logs or splitters an conveyors around . Everything all in one unit a cheaper than buying a commercial vertical an a commercial conveyor . That’s why we almost pulled the trigger on it last yr .
Great video bud. We got a load of wood delivered today. Lots work now.
When the wood shows up that’s when the fun begins what do you use for a splitter ?
I’m still watchin. I don’t look at the eclipse. Arc eyes from welding spark is bad enough.
Great that the snow is going. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
Thanks Noel as we were making the video I kept saying no one wants to watch us look at the sun lol .
An eclipse always reminds me of the Carly Simon song, Your So Vain. 1973 or 74. Was an eclipse around then. You too are so young you would not remember that. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
Great video guys! I love the fact that you can drive it to the wood. It seems like that would save alot of time. Bustah seems to be faster and it looks like you can put more rounds on Busters table than this machine. Nice machine either way. Imagine the wood you could put out if you ran Buster and this machine. $$$
We are trying to figure out if we’re both splitting at the same time who’s gona be doing the stacking cause the woods gona add up fast if we set up an do that . What we need is a pair of portable stacking machines for a day
It is a cool splitter, I looked at them, but they are expensive, unless you have a sizable business. They look like a great machine. Karen got you, you need to learn when to be quiet Phil. We didn't get excited about the eclipse. We stacked wood all day too. We are still stacking wood that has been in a pile over a year because I wasn't able to work with it last year when I broke my back. W were on the edge of the eclipse; it got pretty dark here. It was like a storm was rolling in, so just an average day in Ohio. A lot of people traveled to central Ohio just to see it for 2 1/2 min. I have better things to do with my time.
I agree James most everything is expensive these days. Last yr when we looked at the split force to buy we compared it to buying a commercial vertical splitter and a commercial conveyor. The split force was almost 3 grand cheaper than the other 2 combined and with this unit it could move around on its own unlike the other 2 you would need something to move them around . It was a no braina for us but we ended up building buster instead . Ya the eclipse here was definitely a dud for sure .
Let her run the machine, Phil. You can stack wood all down through there!
She’s definitely got more time running it than me we ran it again today for a few hrs an put a cord in the trailer . She really likes running it unlike our splitter she won’t run that one at all .
Good morning you 2 lovely people. I watched the Morgan’s with the split force. I think it is a great machine. I actually thought about purchasing one. The biggest thing that kept me away is the height of the table. Too bad they couldn’t make it adjustable in height. What’s your thoughts on the height. Phil just think of switching up to get to know your business from every angle. Stacking isn’t that bad, or is it? You guys take care. The height is the only issue I had. Have you figured out how to sup it up yet. I’m sure Dana can help you in that department.
I believe next Tuesdays video we are going to show how to solve the table issue . I agree it’s to low but it’s an easy fix . I know from my experience that stacked wood with airspace between the rows drys better than wood thrown in a huge pile . I’m not a fan of stacking at all it’s probably my least favorite thing to do in the wood yard but the way we do it it saves on handling the wood an I’m all for that .
What a great job Ms Karen, Phil might have to get used to stacking.
Thanks Michael! You know I’d like that! 😂
I think ya right Michael she really likes running this new machine .
That's fantastic guys! I have seen the Split Force on the Morgan's channel. You should have a good time with it.
I think we will get a lot of wood split with it that’s for sure . I have seen a few of Mikes videos with the split force . That man sure has a lot of toys to play with .
Hi Phil and Karen!!😀😀
The split force is a really nice machine. But buster is definitely faster.
I'm pretty sure the Log Father Jeff was the first person to rub the first paint off it.
I hope you enjoy it.
Take care my friends!!😀😀💚💚
Logger Al
Good job Karen. You did great
Wonder what the time differences are if you factor in having to move the wood to Buster?
@@iffykidmn8170 That's a good question.
Yes buster has a faster cycle time but the part everyone misses is the endurance part . 2 seconds or 4 seconds you need the endurance to keep feeding the machine as fast as it will eat wood . With buster I can go flat out an almost keep up with feeding it for about 25 min an then I need a 20 min break . With the split force I can go flat out an just about keep up with it for about 30 min an then need a 20 min break . It’s just not possible to run flat out for 4 hrs strait . I think it’s a toss up between bringing the split force to the wood or the wood to buster . After running both I can honastly say it’s all about endurance and I ain’t half of what I was 20 yrs ago but I think I still do ok .
I've seen others split multiple slabs at once. Should speed things up. By the way, hi, enjoy listening to you two
I’m just so used to running our homemade vertical splitter an with ours it’s a lot scetchy to split multiples at once because the cycle time is twice as fast but I’m sure I will get in the grove an get it figured out .
Phil’s the stacker now ha.
Seems that way she hardly lets me have a turn at running it .
He has his splitter…I have mine lol
Karen tell Phil that the split fire is yours and buster is his machine 😮😊❤
To late Todd she mentioned that to me today when we were splitting , I had to keep asking just so I could have a turn .
Got it covered Todd! 😂
When stacking Phil put pallet up half way, and load till chest high then lower the pallet to complete
Saves on the back
We actually do that quite a bit around here but not always . After we’re done stacking a pallet I have to pull the tractor away so we can shrink wrap the top then get back under it to move it . We have tryed it both ways an it’s just a bit faster not having it lifted with the tractor mostly because it’s a lot of in an out of the cab of the tractor to set it back down and back away to wrap it then pick it back up to move it .
Just a side note: He does do that when we’re both stacking. But when I’m stacking I just have to bend to the ground!! Maybe we should really educate him on the fundamentals of stacking! 😂
@@karenallen8581 Karen put your foot down,is to hard for Phil to press some levers,stacking is hard on your back
Looks like the one the Logfather had on his channel
It is the same one if you look close you will see his stickers on the machine .
Poor Ole Buster
Buster’s just fine- still kicks Ash!!
Yup poor ole busters just gona have to sit there and collect dust for the next few weeks .
Making its rounds I see. Careful though if you purchase Phil, you may end up stacking more than ever before. 😁
Yup Jeff had it first . Karen really likes running the split force a that leaves me stacking . I’m thinking if I stack crooked piles maybe she will take back over stacking so I can get more time on that splitter . So far it’s been mostly her doing the splitting . We mentioned you guys today in a video a that will be out Friday .
@@AllenFamilyFirewood Gina asks, Have you thought about not even using the conveyor, and just split and stack right there?
@@WoodchuckCanuck We have but we was getting in each other’s way mostly because I pree cut the rounds an it always seemed like one of us was waiting on the other . We haven’t tryed that on the new splitter . We also sort our splits as we go shorts in one pile uglys in another an the nice stuff in another pile . We are trying to gear towards selling all our wood in bundles so that’s why we sort it out .
@@AllenFamilyFirewood We sort as well. 12, 14, 16, 18" and the uglies. We sell in bundles too... 32 cu ft bundles. 😄
Phil and Karen hear the pennies dropping for heaven of 11/16 conveyor 😊. Add them together make Benjamin in the Allen Family woodyard . Phil wear your sunglasses 😎 bright forest 🌳 green paint of SPLIT FORCE . 😊
We’re definitely going to give it a work out while it’s here . I’m not used to having a fancy painted splitter
Great video, Splitforce makes a very good splitter and has things that Buster 2 lacks however it would never equal all the class of Buster! With an upgrade on the conveyor I think you have a much better unit, with Buster, and more potential to make money and as I see it that’s the bottom line!
A few of busters features came from looking at the split force . After running both of them I can say that production is not all about cycle time . It takes endurance to run either machine . I can only feed rounds just so fast to be able to keep up an both machines can split faster an longer than I can feed them . With either machine the person running it is the weak link . It takes time to bring the wood to buster with a machine ware as the split force can just drive to the wood without having a machine . That’s a big advantage in its self . . We will cover some of these points in upcoming videos . We appreciate ya watching and that was a great comment thanks .
Thank you, the reason I enjoy your videos so much is they are not only fun to watch I get useful information from ever one and your replays also supply me with even more info, keep up the great work!
Thanks!
Now I see why Jeff wanted to deliver it
Yup he was gona but boarder crossings with equipment are a real pain if ya not an official trucking company . I was really looking forward to meeting him an sawing a log with him .
Ya gotta go and get your log splitter drivers license now😅
Jeff really liked it, but I think he failed his driving test😅
Karen is sold, she really likes it too. Make sure ya put your sticker on there, Id have my sticker on it if I could.
Ha ha lol good one Kenny she really has taken to this splitter it’s hard for me to even get a turn at it . I never figured she would like splitting but she’s having fun so for the time being I can stack an let her have her fun . I’m probably going to wait on the sticker till the show .
I envision Karen taking over the Bundle wood division!
Lol, thanks John! I’m definitely number one splitter right now 😂
Most everything we do is with team work neither one of would want to take it all on . If it’s raining out later this week I will get ahold of ya to come grab that sticker we’re about caught up on our stickers we’ve had for months .
Don't let buster feel left out
We will probably do a splitting session with buster in between just to change things up . Just hard to step away from that split force .
Sorry to say Phil but Karen is really comfortable on the Split Force. You may have to change into your stacking clothes! Great video Phil and Karen!
Couple times today I had to tap her on the shoulder an say hay it’s my turn . Thanks Bill
Thanks Bill! He’s gonna get used to being the stacker for a few weeks 😉😂
Ahhh. That’s where it went. I seen it on another channel. 👍🏻
Yup Jeff had it the log father an then they sent it down here . Sorry I havant had time to watch the Sunday fireside chat but I will . Between all the snow and the split force showing up we been going non stop . Thanks Noel for taking the time to watch a comment it’s very much appreciated.
Ya. You got a lot of snow. Hopefully that’s it for the snow. You guys are busy. So don’t worry about my videos.
That splitter is not quite as fast as Buster , I don’t think. But it’s close. Neat machine. Jeff did say that if the conveyer is running fast it will slow the wedge down.
Have a great day. 👋👋👍🏻👍🏻
@@noelstractors-firewood57 we did notice the conveyor slows the cycle time down but that’s ok . That machine will still split wood faster and longer than I can feed it . Speed is nice but it just wears ya out faster and I think over the coarse of a day I can split the same amount of wood with the split force as I can with buster mostly because I don’t need as many breaks as with running buster .
That’s true. I know when I split wood I get tired out quicker if someone is helping. I like my own pace. But the help is nice too. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
Hi Mrs. Karen O and you to Phil LOL Go Karen Go Go Karen Go Hey Phil the split force I think will work for Mrs. Karen she won't have to stop for you to move pallet. You stack and move pallet and she keep working splitting wood. Buster might be OUT!!!!!! Phil
She has really taken a liking to running that splitter . I don’t think buster is going anyware bet we are gona give him a lil break while we have the split force .
Put it next to buster and just use the conveyor lol. Looks like it came directly from the log father. I'm guessing by the time it's done with both you and the log father it will be worn out.
Even with a 4 second cycle time an me feeding the rounds to it as fast as I can I’m worn out after 35-45 min trying to keep up with it an need a 20 min break . Running these fast verticals will definitely test ya endurance trying to keep up . I think the log father put 8 hrs on it an after yesterday an today we must be getting close to that . They didn’t give me a limit on how much I can run it but Karen’s been doing most of the splitting so far an I know she is a lot easier on things than I am lol.
Привет из России 🇷🇺
Greetings to you as well . Always fun to hear from people all over the world. We appreciate you watching an thank you for taking the time to comment .
Tell what you think of after you awhile. I’m thinking about one of those machines
I can do that . So far I really like it . All splitters are different an everyone is set up different in there woodyards . It’s finding that perfect match that can really up your production that’s key .
You asked for a Conveyer, and you got a splitter and a conveyor
Yup everything all in one package right there . That’s why we were going to buy one a yr ago .
Is that white pine ? It’s splitting good . That splitter is pretty fast .
Yup it’s white pine we do a lot of that about 50 full cords for bundle wood to sell to the campers at our rd side stands . I think they said it has a 3.9 second cycle time .
That’s a great machine, any of us would love that, but after running Blazin’ Buster, must be like the JV team, huh Phil? I remember that eclipse back in grade school, the black paper with the hole in it- didn’t have those glasses. Yeah Karen, we’ve ruined our eyes, damaged hearing at Rock concerts, but it sure was fun! When the time comes and you have to return the splitter, be careful with the placement of your sticker-don’t want to tick-off the previous guy, wouldn’t want to end up with a Horse head in the bed!😂🇺🇸Take care
Ya there’s a reason all the big splitter company’s don’t make there splitters with 1 inch of travel in the foot pedal an keep the cycle time to 4 seconds or above . If they didn’t there would be a lot of guys running around missing fingers an hands an possibly arms . Even with this machine I can’t keep up with it . It will split faster than anyone can keep up with it an it’s plenty safe to run . I told Karen about making the paper with the hole in it funny I remembered that after 45 yrs . . We will probably wait on putting the sticker on it to make sure whoever buys it is ok with it . I already have a few guys coming to look at it so it might get sold before the logging show ya never know . Thanks Mike
Lol Mike…yup the hearing, the eyesight, it’s been tested to the limits! But sure was a lot of fun in the process! We’ll definitely go sliding in sideways saying damn, that was a ride! Not worried about getting a horse head in the bed…I probably wouldn’t even notice through all the snoring 😂 Take care my friend!
You poor thing, sawing logs all day in the woodyard, then he’s “sawing logs” while your trying to sleep!
Btw the way- finally got word-you were right, he rolled a Deuce 😂
Signed, Mr. Preppy!!
Don’t hurt the machine feel
I will try not to Tommy it’s probably best to let Karen run it she’s not quite as hard on things as I am
Definitely going to put him on crutches. lol.
Well I hope not I can do some stacking while Karen gets some seat time behind that fancy splitter for a lil bit . I’m not a fan of stacking but as a team we do what we gota do to get it done .
Nice, well Phil can you get use to the Green Machine????
It’s only going to be here for a few weeks so I’m not going to get to used to it but Karen sure has taken a liking to it . I can tell you from what lil I have run it that’s it’s a fun commercial machine to run and I could easily adapt our wood yard to fit that splitter .
Phil & Karen iiiii iiiii was thinking 🤔 Phil you could split with OLD BUSTER 😊, put sweetie ( Karen ) on the SPLIT FORCE 11/16 and feed all the firewood 🪵 of SPLIT FORCE conveyor into the dump trailer . 😊 between you and Karen probably load the trailer in 20 min . We all see HWM and Rachel working together fill up a dump trailer. I know you two could easy take the 2 fastest couple to fill a wood dump trailer on U tube . 😊 be a good video for the wood 🪵 hounds to watch . Hey 👋 200k is next in line 😊 don’t stop 🛑 now PHIL & KAREN 😊😊.
You read our mind Leonard we just need to find someone to fill in as the stacking machine an we can try that as well . Great minds think alike .
🎉
Dam I wonder what the Splitforce 11/16 got for fuel mileage driving her down from NS to y'all?? 😉😉
lol not sure on that one I will try a remember to keep track when we drive it to Vermont for the show .
When you hit 100 k you're going to get a ton of free offers. From power packs to insurance...and a bunch of stuff you will have 0 interest in. Nice to put hours on the demo than on Buster...
We have had a ton of offers for power packs an generators an even some stuff a lot bigger but we have said no to everything , but this split force was something we almost bought last yr an I just couldn’t say no on this one . Thanks James for watching we really do appreciate it .
Phil be getting a call 📞 from FOX or ABC lists go ON to be camera 🎥 man for them buddy . 😊 iiiii iiiii can see you guys pack up moving to Hollywood. I’m going to miss Karen 😢😢.
Lol Leonard, pretty sure you don’t have to worry about that! I would never go to Hollywood and leave you all alone 😂🤣
lol no chance of that I like it right here working for my self . Been over 30 yrs since I worked for someone else an I don’t plan on n ever changing .
good video and job the eclipse was not much here too. Phil this may not work out for you i can see Karenslapping you on the butt and tell you to go to stacking. buster is faster. take care, be safe and well.
Lol, you’re right John! We returned the Split Force this past weekend when we went to the loggers expo in VT
What does it cost?
They told me this machine we are using can be bought for $21, 800 but they have a lot of options for less $ . . A yr ago when we were price shopping this machine really stood out because it was less expensive than buying a commercial vertical splitter and also buying a commercial conveyor. The fact that it’s also self propelled was an added bonus . I believe split force has there own UA-cam channel as well showing different machines with prices an contact info .
@@AllenFamilyFirewood Thanks, I guess I will pass for now. May be a good investment for you though. Get as much use as you can while you have it.
traffic was beyond belief.........
We never left the wood yard but I was told a lot of people were heading north . Ice out yet around here everything is wide open
Phil THINK 🤔 SAFETY and always put SAFETY FIRST . wear your hard hat 🧢 pennies dropping off the 11/16 conveyor in lightning ⚡️ speed . Phil I heard people go up 🆙 the corporate ladder 🪜, you took a bad turn somewhere in the wood 🪵 yard . Phil are you cooking 🧑🍳 supper tonight buddy ? Karen is hook 🪝, she probably working in the dark tonight buddy . Get on Amazon USA 🇺🇸 for LED light for her and the SPLIT FORCE Phil . lol 😊
No need for a light this time of yr we must be at about 13 - 14 hrs of daylight that’s enuf for us .
If anyone deserves one of these, it is you both! Hmmm now we have a His and Hers splitters no problem with her running this one bur it will not last because she will not like the stains on her blue shirts.
Lol Sid! You know how I think! But actually it’s worth getting my shirts dirty to hand over the stacking duty to Phil for awhile 😂
Well I don’t know about deserves I’m just happy there letting us run this splitter . Out of all the splitters out there this is the one we almost bought so I consider us lucky they were willing to let us test drive it a show it to you an everyone else that watches us . I have a funny feeling that you will see going forward it will be her doing most of the splitting with the split force . Karen has really taken a liking to running a splitter .
Now that Karen knows how to use the chainsaw and now the Split force, You get demoted to doing the stacking, Shopping, Cleaning the house cleaning and cooking Phil... WELCOME to Karens wood yard...😂😂😂😂
Omg, that’s my dream Brian! But I know I wouldn’t be happy with Phil’s cleaning, shopping or cooking abilities! He just can’t do it! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I’m ok with cooking cleaning an shopping it’s the stacking I’m not a fan of .
My God Karen look 👀 like she grew up a vertical wood 🪵 splitter . Karen look 👀 good on your resume in the firewood 🪵 business 👩💼 for operator in Maine. Way better them running a 500i stihl chainsaw . Chainsaw are in the pass , everything going to processor now in the forests and woodyard from 1990 on in this world 🌎. 😊
I’m taking over Leonard! Stay tuned! 😂
I must have asked her a dozen times times today if it my turn yet . Karen really picked it up fast for never running a splitter before .
I think Phil just lost his splitting job
I think ya right Karen really likes running it . She told me today I was demoted to stacker lol .
@@AllenFamilyFirewood I feel for you brother. You better get some roses and candy and smile real big. Then plead your old job back
I’ll take the roses and candy Tommy, but he’ll be stacking until we have to bring it back. This split force is mine lol. I have to take advantage of what limited time I have 😂
the new stacking machine is not very efficient..
I agree Pete…he’s got a lot of room for improvement!
I figure if a pile or 2 is crooked or one falls over maybe I can get my old job back Peat .
Karen you probably what to join the firewood 🪵 union , get your dinner break, morning and afternoon break , overtime and holiday and lists go On for everything dues with Union and health Care 😊 and SAFETY Coarse for poor 😢PHIL lol 😊
I’m working on it Leonard! 😂
