We try it out as both a lift and a staging table with some Red Maple rounds! #chainsawman #logging #firewood #logsplitter Vocal imaging courtesy Steven Lavoie

Nice system. I was just waiting for the whole thing to tip over when trying to lift the logs. Might consider limit switches so you don't need to hold the switch, and an alternator on the motor to keep the battery topped off. Thanks for posting-- I'm definitely putting one on mine.
Thanks 🙏 The switch is non momentary, so I don’t have to hold it. It automatically stops when fully extended or retracted. I have drop down stabilizer legs to prevent tipping. The alternator is a great idea. 👍
I would like to see this machine split a 24 to 30 inch diameter twisted birch round, then I will be impressed. Thank you for the factory tour and the idea of your lift.
The object is to eliminate lifting the round into the jaws with your back. Just lower the jack stand and put the tongue on the ground and then either get on your knees or sit on a stool or a round and use your shoulders to roll and wrestle the round into the jaws. A lot of difficult tasks become easier and more pleasurable when your on your knees.
Being in construction for a long time, my knees and lower back both have issues. I think you'll like these Swedish made pants with built in knee pad protection.ua-cam.com/video/04zL6VCojRI/v-deo.html
I don't know how much you have into that lift, but I've seen splitters with the same overall capabilities plus a lift that cost a TON of money - seemingly for that extra utility. Could air struts on the lift help it out any? Cool video as always, Case!
Nice work. I've been considering making a lift powered by either a windscreen wiper motor, a capstan winch driven by the of the splitter or using a cordless drill. I have a number of linear actuators so that's now an option.
You can put a storm door spring inside each of the large diameter springs, it works great. Your trailer is about the same height as the splitter, hint, hint. : )
After watching this video, it makes me appreciate my Wolfe Ridge Splitter even more. Just use the wagon as your staging table and forget the battery powered log lift.
@@BuildALotAcres My splitter was at least twice as much and is at least twice the splitter compared to the SS. You get what you paid for. You bought a cheaper splitter and trying to improve with all your add ons.
@@larasea741 More like three-four times the price , and same cord per hour output, but that’s ok. All the money I saved can go through towards tractor implements. Thanks for watching 👍
Thank you sir 🙏 I’m not sure. It would be nice to be able to charge the battery with the machine. I plan on looking further into the lift this year. I actually just used it today filming some splitting
I could fall asleep and take a nap waiting on that to lift the load. It was painful to watch. Too bad you couldn’t find something with a faster lift alternative
That dang log lift is murderously slow, totally against the concept of the awesome super split. Why don't you spin the dang machine around and have your back to the pile of logs, you're trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist. Super split is a great machine, I've commercially split w one for 15 years now but some of you want to talky talk too much when you should be working
If you actually watched the video, I clearly stated that I was doing it for demonstration purposes. Believe it or not some people actually want to see the lift in action, not me standing in the way blocking the view with my ass. I agree its slow compared to many lifts. It still beats getting a hernia trying to lift 300-400 lb rounds. If all I cared about was workedy work, I wouldn't do YT at all. Speaking of such, why are you watching YT, and commenting on videos you disliked, and not working?

Using it as a staging table looks like it saves a bunch of time! That splitter setup is really nice! I need to work on upgrading mine.
Yes sir. It worked out pretty well. Thanks
Nice job but painfully slow.
Thanks. There are limited options with no hydraulics to tap into. Still beats hammering wedges imo.
I was impressed by it’s lifting capacity 👍🏻, great video Case 👍🏻. Have a great weekend 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
Thanks Luc. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

Wonderful setup 👍👍👍😁
Thank you sir 🙏
Love it!!!! I want to do this. Thanks for all the helpful videos!! Keep up the good work
Thank you very much. 🙏 Helping, informing, and inspiring is why I do the channel
Looks like it comes in pretty handy for the right situations! Good work!
Thanks Logan. Appreciate you watching!
Good evening Sir, Outstanding performance fast wood splitting Sir 👌👍🧐 Great and strong lifting capacity 💪👌👍🧐 Cheers 🍻
Thank you sir!

That is a good setup! I'd like to improve my setup so I can avoid at most any bending. Working at a proper level makes a world of difference! Thanks!
Thanks Joe. Your homemade box splitter is very nice as well.

Thanks David. The actuator, switch, battery, and steel was around $280. I had the paint, wire, and electrical connectors.
Great job man,, That looks real handy
Thank you my friend! 🙏

Great ideas. Do you have a SuperSplitter?
Great job man. That things awesome.
Thank you sir! 🙏
As always buddy great job!
Thanks man. Appreciate it.
The lift works great as a staging table too. If it is dropping a bit, it sounds like you are probably close to the weight limit of the actuator
I agree. I wanted to give it a good test. Thanks for watching Joseph!

Great idea! I’ll give it a try. Appreciate the tip my friend!
that looks very handy
Thanks. Appreciate it 👍
I’ve been looking for the same setup ty
You’re welcome 👍
After watching this video, it makes me appreciate my Wolfe Ridge Splitter even more. Just use the wagon as your staging table and forget the battery powered log lift.
And how much was the Wolfe Ridge? I appreciate the SS costing a third as much

@@BuildALotAcres OK you are probably right, the Wolfe Ridge is three-four times the splitter compared to SS.
Nice log lift I have the same splitter I wonder if the robin engine has any voltage output that could charge battery some small engines do
Thank you sir 🙏 I’m not sure. It would be nice to be able to charge the battery with the machine. I plan on looking further into the lift this year. I actually just used it today filming some splitting
Nice work! I could use a setup like that!
Thanks Lucas. It should prove very handy!
I could fall asleep and take a nap waiting on that to lift the load. It was painful to watch. Too bad you couldn’t find something with a faster lift alternative
Yeah, unfortunately linear actuators that are fast are usually rated for very low amounts of weight.
Ver useful!
Thanks! I agree
Worked great.
Yes sir. Thanks for watching 🙏

YOU NEED TO SLOW THE LIFT DOWN,
😂 Still beats a hernia operation
