This is the best splitter I've ever seen. The splitter has phenomenal power and the log lift is the icing on the cake. Excellent machine and excellent demonstration.
Dang, now that’s a log splitter! Very excited to hear it’s an American made product. We all need to support American businesses (especially small businesses) as much as we can. Given all of the wood you’ve been acquiring lately you’ll definitely put that splitter/processor through its paces!
That machine is a beast. So glad you got it and even more happy that you are partnering with Mr. Larry. You're still picking those rounds up though. I hope on the bigger rounds you start using the small tractor. Your lower back will thank you for it. Can't wait to see the other things you will be demonstrating for Mr. Larry.
Great video. Last year, my wife and I met the owners of American Logsplitters. They were super nice and spent 15-20 minutes with us, showing off their equipment. Not only did I notice how well-built their splitters were, but I also noticed how reasonably-priced they were. Looking forward to more logsplitter videos and every other project that you and your wife get into.
@5150cash Hey Cash, Andrew's got his hands full right now it looks like, but I'm committed to making it down there sometime soon. It would be my honor to help him with some firewood. Hope you're doing well, my friend!
All-in on that American made machine! That tall wedge looks like the answer for those huge rounds you deal with. Thank you for promoting USA manufacturing 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm all for supporting small business and USA made, sadly it's getting hard to do with lack of production here. Especially with electronics and similar equipment.
Larry and his wife are awesome people, I had the privilege of talking with them last year at Paul Bunyan. Can't wait to watch this splitter in action more.
Wow... that thing is a beast Andrew.. 🎉... I think the processing barn is a great idea, and should definitely help you get more productive when it gets warm down here!!!
That thing is incredible. I split with a sledge and wedge, all spruce. Luckily it’s only for recreational fires for the family. It’s enough that I can appreciate how useful that machine can be for someone that splits lots of wood.
Nice Machine!! Build yourself a chute from the catch pans into your tote to help make you more efficient. Keep things moving, let the logs push the split wood for you.
found you guys about 2 months ago and have seen about 550 vidios so far and just saw my first live stream live you guys are great keep up the good work
My goodness! I didn't know how satisfying it was going to be watching that log splitter push through those logs like a hot knife through butter. You are going to be doing some serious log splitting now! You needed that to make a dent in that log pile.
It really would have helped if you told us how much your particular splitter cost for reference. The log splitter website has no prices listed which can sometimes make buyers move to the next manufacturer.
I absolutely understand that and I've talked with Mr Larry about updating the website. Me posting prices is something I don't want to do. You might ask for completely different accessories, modifications and have different shipping. That can easily swing the price a few thousand one way or another. A quick phone call can get you the most accurate pricing.
WOW! thats slick as snot! I would say needing a bit of counter weight or on a solid surface to prevent any jerking, and the lift is tremendous but indeed that giant round could have just plopped off the side, this is so awesome!
Wow! that big round looked like some sort of outriggers may be needed when it gets more permanently situated. Are you going to have a overhead crane or trolley to move those monster logs around your new building? Great to see American made! Good episode.
I’ve found that an easier way to clear rust etc is to use your favorite cleaner in conjunction with a drill and abrasive pad (like a green non metal pot scrubber). Thanks for the tip on the cleaner. I’ll be on Amazon shortly to get some. We enjoy your channel and the effort you put into your projects. The video and audio and narratives are first rate. Good luck on future ones and keep them coming!!
Just a little correction as to the location of American CLS. It is not in Upstate NY, rather it is in the Finger Lakes Region or more commonly referred to as Western NY. It is located in Honeoye, right at the tip of Honeoye Lake, one of the beautiful Finger Lakes. The heart of Farm and vineyard country !
With the big mill shutting down, is it going to open some doors for the local people to start processing wood? My first thought when I heard this news was that a few guys need to team up and set up a small privately owned sawmill.
Very nice splitter Andrew. It appears the one you have is a left handed operations. I didn't see on their website if you could get them either left/right handed or not. You may want to pass along to them if they could put some pricing on their website, at least each models "starting at" price. I know their custom specked, but at least the consumer would know what the "base" price is starting out. Looks like a great splitter and great to know they are made in America. Can't wait to see you doing more videos with it.
Wow that’s pretty nice! I just bought one from a big box store this morning! It’s supposedly made by Oregon, hopefully it will serve me well. Congratulations
Nice splitter. I bet you've already made this adjustment, but move your tote to more to the operator's side instead of directly to the front of your splitter. This way you don't have to step around the machine to stack your firewood. Second, you may want to look at fabricating some outriggers. Maybe a suggestion for the owner as an option. When you were lifting some of those logs (especially that massive log), the hydraulics had no problems with the load, but I was worried about the stability of the machine, and the potential for it to tip.
No doubt the new splitter is much faster than your old one. There is still a ton of manual labor that goes into splitting wood. As the owner of a long time bad back I can't stress enough that you need to be very careful with those large rounds. Congratulations on getting into a relationship with another American made equipment. Looks like you found a good company to associate yourself with. Of course they have a great spokesman now in you too!
That is an awesome machine. That is a really good working height. Question are you not worried about a piece of wood falling and hit the green wire for your battery. I feel like that should be better protected.
Because of your review, I'm going to pick one up at their factory(about 3.5 hrs) in a few days. Larry was extremely helpful even though he was on the way to the Paul Bunyan Show in Ohio. No more renting for me!
So glad to hear that, Larry has sold me on his company and commitment over the last few months while designing my splitter. Please let him know that you heard about him from our channel. What model did you go with?
Love your new 'man toy' as my brother-in-law would call this (man toy....any tool a man wants to do things better and can put on a want list to receive instead of new socks, shirts or an occasional tie....lol) 'Man toys' don't have to be large things either, but are great for Christmas and birthday lists or just because.
Finally a log lift on the other side!! I’m right handed and would much rather push the controls with my left and handle the woof with my right. Seems like an awesome splitter.
That machine is a beast!!! I know you said you are going to make a working shed for you to work in does that mean you’ll be keeping your cut wood in the shed too? Tfs and God bless:)
Just a suggestion but I'd turn either the splitter or your crate. I see how you were always having to step around the tongue of the splitter to stack the wood.
By the way the tongue slides underneath. I forgot to pin it and it vibrated out. You for sure want it on that end as it's balanced and easy to lift. The other end is extremely heavy and I'd never be able to maneuver it around.
My first reaction was like those old pace, picante salsa commercials “😮🤔New York City?🤔” lol. It looks pretty busy, I like it How it’s like things that are beefy and kind of over built.
Please contact Mr Larry at American CLS, link is in the description. I don't know his current pricing. Mention you seen it on our show TKCL and he will give you a nice discount on the quotes.
That is a crazy operation you are running. You might have to hire a high schooler to do some of the heavy lifting for yah. Growing up in the city, I would've learned alot from you as a teen
That's right along the lines that I thought you would get, simple but with all the features that matter most and American made is one of those features 🪓
Yeah I'm not interested in one of those high dollar fancy processors or other types of equipment. Main wants was a log lift, multiple wedges and well built. This fits the bill and then some.
Congrats on new splitter. Check out my new processor. I’m really ramping up my firewood business. Glad your doing really well. Maybe one day we can do something together.
If they had a price breakdown or option list to build a splitter on there website. I understand it’s only 12 people and it’s one less thing to worry about when you have log spitters to build….I usually take as if you gotta ask you can’t afford it
You sound very impatient and young. I'd rather get the exact quote with my requests, shipping to my area and talk with the owner I'm supporting. Can't believe how much times have changed.
Call them, these can be custom built with all kinds of options. Price varies greatly depending on how you set yours up. Mr Larry will have you a quote quickly after you tell him the options you want.
Nice looking machine..I would only have looked into a way to dampen that muffler sound...it's loud to be hearing that all day..or heavy duty hearing protection. Don't be like me and can't hear at 59 yrs old from yrs of random excessive noise.
Nice splitter... There are others like this however, so nothing outstanding, sorry.... That thing is, what? $15K. If he undercuts the others enough it will drive traffic to him.
This is the best splitter I've ever seen. The splitter has phenomenal power and the log lift is the icing on the cake. Excellent machine and excellent demonstration.
Thank you for watching
The "A" in the front of the log splitter is for Andrew! Catch you in the livestream tonight at 7PM EST!
Lol yes! See you then
i thought that was for america! lol
All the above

Great looking splitter, Andrew. Sounds like a company it'd be easy to support. USA! Can't wait to see more.
I'm happy to support him, we've had excellent conversations over the last few months.
@TKCL That goes a long way, in my opinion. Good customer service is priceless nowadays.
@@dougdavis4439 howdy Mr Doug...... when are we going to see you and Andrew on a video splitting firewood or even fishing 🤷🏽♂️🤔🤔

Very interesting! You're right - I hadn't heard of this splitter brand before.
I was surprised, especially after hearing the business was started in the late 60s
Great video. Thank you. I'm a old lady but I love spilting wood. Very interested in this.
A lot of videos coming soon!
Larry and his wife are awesome people, I had the privilege of talking with them last year at Paul Bunyan. Can't wait to watch this splitter in action more.
That's great! I'm happy to be working with them. The splitter appears to be well built.
Hi Andrew, that is one heavy duty splitter, very impressive. Goes through that wood like butter.❤️❤️👍👍🇨🇦
It sure does!
Wow... that thing is a beast Andrew.. 🎉... I think the processing barn is a great idea, and should definitely help you get more productive when it gets warm down here!!!
Be a great place to keep the equipment out of the weather and myself.
That thing is incredible. I split with a sledge and wedge, all spruce. Luckily it’s only for recreational fires for the family. It’s enough that I can appreciate how useful that machine can be for someone that splits lots of wood.
I split as a kid with a wedge and maul, I totally understand.
Andrew, Another excellent video. We look forward to seeing the 3-point log splitter as this is something we were recently discussing. Keep 'em coming.
Coming soon, I'm curious about it myself.
Nice Machine!! Build yourself a chute from the catch pans into your tote to help make you more efficient. Keep things moving, let the logs push the split wood for you.
That or a conveyor, really want one of those.
That looks like a heavy duty log splitter. I see your firewood production should increase. Congratulations on your new toy. That machine is a beast.
We should for sure be able to process a lot more wood.
Looks like a really nice machine Andrew.
Looking forward to seeing the next video ❤
Coming soon
found you guys about 2 months ago and have seen about 550 vidios so far and just saw my first live stream live you guys are great keep up the good work
Wow you've been busy! Can't thank you enough for the support.
My goodness! I didn't know how satisfying it was going to be watching that log splitter push through those logs like a hot knife through butter. You are going to be doing some serious log splitting now! You needed that to make a dent in that log pile.
Don't forget your hearing protection. That sounds like a beast!
Yes, my production just dramatically increased. I do have ear buds in, I don't like listening to motors.
It really would have helped if you told us how much your particular splitter cost for reference.

Very impressive! I was just itching to zip over to help stack. I'd love that.... Alas, Ontario Canada is too far to just "zip" over! Congratulations!
Just a hop and a skip away.
Oh my, you have some giant logs to split, but the new splitter makes light work of them! See you tonight on the live stream!
I sure do have a lot of work ahead of me.
Andrew I am so Proud for you. You work your tail off out there and this will be a nice added addition.
Looking forward to running it, a nice upgrade.
Very impressive!!
It is!
Hi, Andrew! NICE!! That splitter is a beast! See you at 7:00.
It is, see you soon.
So glad you found that company. Only worried about your back when carrying that wood for splitting, take care.
Wow! that big round looked like some sort of outriggers may be needed when it gets more permanently situated. Are you going to have a overhead crane or trolley to move those monster logs around your new building? Great to see American made! Good episode.
That's an excellent idea for the overhead crane. I really do need to build that.
@@TKCL Just thinking of your back, buddy! I know how that feels.
Looks good.
You now need a grapple on your small tractor to load the large rounds. Very impressed.
That would be perfect!
Shows the difference between consumer and commercial quality!!
Oh boy, no comparison.
I’ve found that an easier way to clear rust etc is to use your favorite cleaner in conjunction with a drill and abrasive pad (like a green non metal pot scrubber).
Thanks for the tip on the cleaner. I’ll be on Amazon shortly to get some.
We enjoy your channel and the effort you put into your projects. The video and audio and narratives are first rate. Good luck on future ones and keep them coming!!

With the big mill shutting down, is it going to open some doors for the local people to start processing wood? My first thought when I heard this news was that a few guys need to team up and set up a small privately owned sawmill.
Maybe so, but this mill took small pulp wood. Not wood for milling.
Wow!! That's impressive!! American made is much better made!!
It for sure is

Working on getting that out soon. Thanks for watching.
ALRIGHT A AMERICAN MADE SPLITTER NICE SAVE TIME. with love SAVANNAH TN.
Very nice splitter sir, good lucky with it, and enjoy!!
Thank you, looking forward to putting it to the test.
Awesome piece of equipment
It really is
That’s a nice machine. Going to get a good workout with all of that wood you have stacked up.
Oh yes it is
Hopefully you’ll demo one of their smaller conveyors. I see Mike Morgan, and that was a game changer for him
A conveyor is for sure on my future list, no doubt it will speed up. The process.
That is a Unit right there ol Son!!! 🇺🇸💪
I love it!
Nice splitter.
I bet you've already made this adjustment, but move your tote to more to the operator's side instead of directly to the front of your splitter. This way you don't have to step around the machine to stack your firewood.

When you were lifting some of those logs (especially that massive log), the hydraulics had no problems with the load, but I was worried about the stability of the machine, and the potential for it to tip.
It's got a wide stance on the wheels, I didn't see it attempting to lift but that's something I'll pay attention to.
Wow. Very impressive.
It is
Andrew,four hands 🙌 will make a huge impact on your production excellent job and video ❤😊😮
I agree, it will probably speed me up 3 times.
No doubt the new splitter is much faster than your old one. There is still a ton of manual labor that goes into splitting wood.

That splitter will come in handy for the big wood you have been getting. It will save on your back also. 🤠
Beautiful machine! Looks like a backsaver for sure.
It sure is!
That is an awesome machine. That is a really good working height. Question are you not worried about a piece of wood falling and hit the green wire for your battery. I feel like that should be better protected.
I'm more worried about a huge piece hitting my controls, I might fabricate something if I see this being a problem.

Finally a log lift on the other side!! I’m right handed and would much rather push the controls with my left and handle the woof with my right. Seems like an awesome splitter.

Just you wait! That thing is going to live up to its name! I haven’t been able to outrun that splitter yet!
I definitely need a second set of hand to run it at its full potential. Or a conveyor 😉
Oh dang that a beast of a machine 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 hmm 🤔 I would like to see a small speed test between the new machine and old machine
That's going to be a problem now, my old one has found a new home. This one is several seconds faster, but far more productive.

Sure is nice having the extra power.
Just a suggestion but I'd turn either the splitter or your crate. I see how you were always having to step around the tongue of the splitter to stack the wood.
I'll figure out a smooth work flow after a few times of messing around with it.
By the way the tongue slides underneath. I forgot to pin it and it vibrated out. You for sure want it on that end as it's balanced and easy to lift. The other end is extremely heavy and I'd never be able to maneuver it around.

Nice splitter Andrew. Looks a lot like a Wolfe ridge
They all have similar components and great components I may add.
What is the starting price for this splitter
I am not sure of current pricing. Contact Mr Larry the owner for a quote. He's been offering discounts if you mention you seen it on our channel.
hi there looks like a real nice splitter .hope it works well for you , just checking in john
Thank you Mr John. Take care!
Nice splitter, lift should help you a lot. See yo on the live tonight.

The options list are on the website. As for the price, you've got to call. I've talked with Mr Larry about updating the site.
That business is about 25 minutes from me
Small world!
They should post the prices on the web site. I'm not wasting my time waiting for a quote. I'll check out the competition that does post prices.

great video, HOWEVER

I want one you have
👍👍...👀
Time for a business license and and hire an employee to help out....🙂"Kelly's Country Firewood"
I got an employee, Tiffany 😉
Is that Honda engine I see??
Yes it is.
Andrew since firewood is going to be a substantial source for income. I bet in the near future you will upgrade again to a self-contained processor.
Those don't benefit me, my logs are way too big. Most processors require small diameter and straight logs.
Nice looking machine..I would only have looked into a way to dampen that muffler sound...it's loud to be hearing that all day..or heavy duty hearing protection. Don't be like me and can't hear at 59 yrs old from yrs of random excessive noise.

You mean an American assembled engine with "globally sourced parts"?
Yeah, probably true. Good video.
thats a splitter.go get it done.

Nice splitter... There are others like this however, so nothing outstanding, sorry.... That thing is, what? $15K. If he undercuts the others enough it will drive traffic to him.
Nothing special comrapred to other well made machines I agree. This is still night and day above big box machines. Your $15k quote is way high.
