Back when I was a kid we didn't have a log splitter and when we got logs that were nasty we would toss them in a pile till late December or in Jan to split them . When the logs freeze up they split like butter some times we still had to use a wedge but most times we could split like it was never a problem. I remember a time my Dad had a huge pile that he had a hard time splitting he said it was like rubber it would just bounce right off and hardly leave a scratch. One winter I felt like splitting and went out there and that was how we learned we could split them when they were frozen.
My dad had a heck of a splitter when I was a kid. As a matter of fact I helped him buy his first splitter and when I came home to visit I was using it. I asked why didn’t you get one of these when I lived at home. He said I didn’t need it then I had you and that wore out double bit ax
Chris, that is some good stuff. I like the fact that you’re showing the features, and functions of different splitters. It gives people the opportunity to weigh their options if they’re in the market. It also gives them ideas in case they have a similar setup of two or three splitters at once. I just spent my money on an Axis,…but I would consider the SplitForce if I were needing to split at different areas on my property.
@@InTheWoodyard I like the fact that there is a machine for everyone. I actually love processing firewood because of all of the newer technology that’s available. I used to hate it as a kid. My dad and I would do it all. Back then, all he had was a chainsaw, double-sided axe, sledgehammer, and a splitting wedge. I’d be wore out most of the time after we were done. He would be so grateful if he had access to a 500i, a commercial splitter, dump trailers, and all of the equipment and tools that we use today.
Nice. It's great that you're at the point in your youtube career that people let you sample these expensive machines. Keep up the good work, and thank you for taking the time to do these videos
Good video showing an interesting combination of different machines 👍 It reminds me of when I was younger, the community of farmers that I lived in used to get together for work bee's. Everybody that had a hydraulic splitter would bring them. Otherwise you brought mauls or axes. We would have 25-30 men and boys working together hammering out full cords of firewood until everyone had enough firewood for the winter.
Quite a selection of splitters. They ought to get the job done. Now I know how Bert got so good on a skid loader. The old man has a great touch with that unit.
Sept. 27 Helene hit middle GA. I've got access of 5 years of firewood in my yard and my neighbors. All whit oak, hickory and pecan. All I need is time.
Our friends in Canada have some impressive machines; Split Force, Eastonmade, and Split-Fire! The dilemma is the price as someone who doesn't/ can't do firewood for sale (currently no space). Great video, thanks!
How slick! I would love to see if it could be idled along as a stand alone conveyor for stuff like heaping bins! My available yard just quadrupled in size and I have 2.5 acres now split between four lots and that would be a game changer
I was looking at splitforce videos a week ago ,now u post this video. For all the tree removal wood we cut and haul home this is the perfect machine for big heavy rounds. I've got piles of logs everywhere. Alot of 2-5ft giant rounds also. Only so many hrs in a day for splitting. Brought home 4 cords of oak and pine just today . Some days theres 5 or 6 trailers full of 2 cord logs we have to haul home. It Would be nice if it had a 30ft conveyor for taller cones. I need a firewood processor and a splitforce if I won the lottery. Might have to just rent a processor for a week bc ive got like 60 cords of straight poles that would fly thru a processor. I stack up the straight ones and buck and split the ugliest logs first. Bucking and splitting every single piece i sell by hand is not efficient at all abd is back breaking work. A splitforce would also work great to do slabwood with for boilerwood. Split like 4 big slab pieces in half at once then up the conveyor into the trailer then delivered. This machine would be ideal for mobile splitting jobs where people have yard tree they want split up. I like the powersplit ones also with the double splitter setup and conveyor up the middle. super efficient and mobile
I'm impressed how consistent your split sizes are even hours later. My wood is personal use so i guess it matters less but im guilty of the splits getting larger when i want to be done for the day.
G’morning Chris. Awesome to see the daisy chain of splitters. Love the Green Machine. Elevator to elevator to trailer to elevator would be SWEEEEET. GoodNightIrene
That split force is fast. Like the variable speed elevator. And self propelled machine. The wolf and Easton made was great also. The formation of the splitters was perfect. And a mountain of wood split quick.
If I ever bought one of those I would get mine without the conveyor. The pull behind Split Force SF9 would be great to, You can move those around by hand if you wanted, (I think.) Was just looking on Shaver Specialty Service and the one like you are using without the conveyor (SF-9TR) is $10,900 plus tax. Sweet!
That's the machine I have, but the Canadian version (Timber Devil) without the conveyor! I chose it as ot was rhe same price as rhe Ultra (another nice splitter) but i wanted the versatility of the vertical, and the log lift!
It is lighter built than the Eastonmade or the Wolfe Ridge machines......but.... it is very adequate and works great. The elevator and the drive able features really set it apart.
Split force is nice stuff. Their double head splitter with the conveyor in middle is really cool. Now if split force was smart they would just give it to you because I see you using that a lot for resplits with a dump trailer backed up to it going straight in the bin and the uglies and hand cut stuff. Is split force the one that makes that little basic vertical that Tony recently got ???
Cool machines! I’ll never understand why folks sometimes spend time struggling to get a split that is stuck underneath a wedge wing VS simply pushing another piece through. 🤷♂️
I have been told when traveling downhill, if you function the turning cylender, it steals enough oil from the travel motor that it will free spool. The splitter will take off without oil in the travel motor to hold it back.
I remember back at the old woodyard when you were using the glacier still you were wanting one of these mobile units but they wanted like 20k, look at all the toys you got around there now lol. Imagine if ole cookie could see you now.
Years back i had 3 spliters...Son 1 Son2 Son3 then they grew up n go me a spliter....Now at end of my tape measure...Hu gets spliter Son1 Son2 ur Son3 LOL
My opinion is low of the Power-Split International splitters, tge company who makes these self-propelled machines, as they tend to use single-stage hydraulic pumps and severely overrate the tonnage on their machines based on the splitting hydraulic cylinder size. Compare the splitting cylinder to the other splitters and let us know for sure the size differential m
When I was a kid we were so poor I had to split wood 🪵 with my bare hands and I enjoyed it. Even today I can split wood with my bare hands faster than log splitter. 🦸♀️😅
This is efficient as you can be ! Love it
Yes it is a very nice machine!
Amazing job boys! Love the new go cart with conveyor 👍TCT
Yup, I always wanted a go cart as a boy....good thing I am still one....no conversion yet.

The more I watch the vertical splitters, and the older I get.... the more I think, that's what I need!🤔
Yup, they are awesome!
Nice. It's great that you're at the point in your youtube career that people let you sample these expensive machines. Keep up the good work, and thank you for taking the time to do these videos
Yup, it is a lot of fun and work, it's been a long 4.5 years of a video every day....almost 1600 now!
That may be the best video on yt now.lol,never seen all three splitting.lol thanks Chris
Thanks, they played well together!
Thank you for this great presentation 👏.
Looks like the magic is made by having 4 hands per any good wood splitter 🤩
Yup, more is the right number of hands to help!

Glad you enjoyed it. That sounds like a great time!
I have heard you talk about your rates, no matter what they are, you provide a great service to the public!!!
Thanks Ralph!
Enjoyed it. Especially watching folks split wood versus me. Thanks 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!

Yup, nice stuff !
My uncle was the one in the loader.

Get to it!
Nice machines especially the green one😊
Yes, they all are that!
Hey Chris! Very nice machine. They are making creating sticks of firewood easier Love the content! Take care!
Thanks! You too!
Wow awesome splitters love it Chris ( Ty Ron
Thanks!
Our friends in Canada have some impressive machines; Split Force, Eastonmade, and Split-Fire! The dilemma is the price as someone who doesn't/ can't do firewood for sale (currently no space). Great video, thanks!
Yup, they do it right!
I enjoyed see Berts dad working reminded me of my dad & I doing Firewood together
Yup, Keith is a good man!
How slick! I would love to see if it could be idled along as a stand alone conveyor for stuff like heaping bins! My available yard just quadrupled in size and I have 2.5 acres now split between four lots and that would be a game changer
We did that, and there will be videos to come of that.
Yes it can and it works great...you should get a couple of them!

Good Morning Chris, Great Combination of splitters, see you at Bunyan👍🇺🇸
Yup, I will be there wearing my pink party dress!
Great content Chris! I like the different camera angles that you use.
Glad you like them!
I'm impressed how consistent your split sizes are even hours later. My wood is personal use so i guess it matters less but im guilty of the splits getting larger when i want to be done for the day.
Thanks, I try to keep them similar sized.
Man that’s a good design
It works well!
Ah Shucky Ducky look made the big time. Thanks for bringing all the new latest and greatest ideas to show
Glad you like them!
Great job Chris!!!!!!
Thanks!!!
G’morning Chris. Awesome to see the daisy chain of splitters. Love the Green Machine. Elevator to elevator to trailer to elevator would be SWEEEEET.
GoodNightIrene
Morning! Yup, it works great!
That table height on the SF looks like Bert would be singing soprano if a log kicks out 😂
He already does!
Awesome splitters!👍💪👍
Yes they are!
Those split force splitters are cool!
Yes they are that!
Good morning Chris!!😀😀
Hello Al!
That split force is fast. Like the variable speed elevator. And self propelled machine. The wolf and Easton made was great also.
The formation of the splitters was perfect. And a mountain of wood split quick.
Agreed!
When I was a kid I was the log splitter. Near 70 and I'm still the log splitter. Sure would like one, but for what I do too much $$$$$$$😊
You should get one, it is a game changer, especially for us "experienced" men!
I like the speed up shots they are fun to watch! Ray
Thanks Ray!
If I ever bought one of those I would get mine without the conveyor. The pull behind Split Force SF9 would be great to, You can move those around by hand if you wanted, (I think.) Was just looking on Shaver Specialty Service and the one like you are using without the conveyor (SF-9TR) is $10,900 plus tax. Sweet!
I would spend the extra and get a conveyor. Saves the shoulders from throwing splits.
The elevator is what makes the machine great!
Yup!
@@BertsCustomCuts Be hard to get it into the garage.
@@InTheWoodyard That will be great to top off your bins with!
That's the machine I have, but the Canadian version (Timber Devil) without the conveyor! I chose it as ot was rhe same price as rhe Ultra (another nice splitter) but i wanted the versatility of the vertical, and the log lift!
This is a Canadian made machine too, very nice!
Thére are some truly amazing engineering marvels out there.
Yup, cool machines!
Got lot wood split up. I have heard the split force not really strong. Perfect for some buys logs. Keep up the good work.
It works great! Thanks 👍
That conveyor got a workout!!
It is awesome!
How many cords ya think ? Great video . Thanks for sharing. Craig. Pa.
Not sure...maybe 6-8ish???
Chris looks like 👍 you guys had to much fun at Bert’s dad’s wood 🪵 yard 🤩😮😊❤
Yup, we always have a good time!
Great opportunity to run some impressive equipment!
Yup, thanks!!
Looking at one of these 13 20 how does the splitter part compare with the axis its a pain to move my conveyer and axis to fill my bins
It is lighter built than the Eastonmade or the Wolfe Ridge machines......but.... it is very adequate and works great. The elevator and the drive able features really set it apart.
@InTheWoodyard really like the build and performance of the axis don't know if the lower table would hurt my back
Thanks for sharing these splitters!! Split Force is a nice concept!! What's the table height?? Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Yup, it works out great, the table height is just right...not sure on the measurement...you might want to check their web site??
Chris working like a maniac
Yup, that is what I do.
Split force is nice stuff. Their double head splitter with the conveyor in middle is really cool.
Now if split force was smart they would just give it to you because I see you using that a lot for resplits with a dump trailer backed up to it going straight in the bin and the uglies and hand cut stuff.
Is split force the one that makes that little basic vertical that Tony recently got ???
That is a good idea! Tony's was a different brand.
That's a really nice trio of splitters!! Might take Bert a few extra hours to drive the Split Force to the Paul Bunyan show!!😂 GNI
I am going to bring it to the show tomorrow, he is bringing the Wolfe Ridge. She does about 4mph...I better get going NOW!
@@InTheWoodyard See you there Friday!
Cool machines!
I’ll never understand why folks sometimes spend time struggling to get a split that is stuck underneath a wedge wing VS simply pushing another piece through. 🤷♂️
Because some times it won't move....
What are the gloves used?, look tough for the job
I think those are Tilsatech? brand...nice gloves.
I have been told when traveling downhill, if you function the turning cylender, it steals enough oil from the travel motor that it will free spool. The splitter will take off without oil in the travel motor to hold it back.
Interesting, we did not have any issues, it worked great.
@@InTheWoodyard I like the splitter a lot , but they are not inexpensive.
I have to get me one of those oh yeah I must. 🎉
They work out great!
Now that's getting splits done today 😉👍
Sure is! Thanks Daniel!
You finally have a log lift
Yup!
What kind of gloves are you all wearing in this video. They look like they are good ones. Keep up the hard work Chris
They are Tilsatech ???? I think, yes good gloves.
I remember back at the old woodyard when you were using the glacier still you were wanting one of these mobile units but they wanted like 20k, look at all the toys you got around there now lol. Imagine if ole cookie could see you now.
Yup, things have improved a bit here now!
I like the split force splitter, but I would take that wolfe ridge in a heartbeat
Just get one of each!
Nice work everyone. Mean,green machine right there. GNI
Yup, it works out well! Thanks!
have to say if i was choosing I would choose the easternmade... just seems an easier process to me
It is a great machine!
We timed that about perfect. See everyone at Bunyan.
Have fun and travel safely 😉👍
Yup!!
All the toys out today
Yup, lots of god stuff!
OK so what's the MSRP?? Would love to know.
$23,000ish
Those xtra sets of hands sure help out on every aspect of the job!!! Lotta work got done tday!! GNI
Yup, more is the right number of hands!
👍👍👍
Thanks!!!
Splitforce needs more power?
No, it works fine as is!
This is early in the viewing, but my low back would not tolerate the standing on one leg using the other foot for the pedal!!!
It works great, it is more of a gas peddle motion...very easy.
👍
Thanks!!!
Years back i had 3 spliters...Son 1 Son2 Son3 then they grew up n go me a spliter....Now at end of my tape measure...Hu gets spliter Son1 Son2 ur Son3 LOL

This one is a Split Force, different company I think. It worked great.
@InTheWoodyard made by tge same parent company.
Vertical splitters are best....I think...but keeping mind I do not split wood....I just watch lol
They are nice!
Hello everyone
Hello Stanley!
Pretty cool but at 430,089.37 pesos I’ll have to pass. 👍
Use some green backs, much fewer of those!
So nice that these splitters come through with In The Woodyard stickers
Yup, it is all part of the video! Bring a machine, get a sticker!
Hey honey, i am going to take the splitter for a ride, lol
Yup, it's a lot of fun!! Kinda like a go-cart!
Now that is a machine I could use! Nice long conveyor and drive it to the wood piles I am most certainly jealous
Yup, it works great...not highway legal so I will not be driving it to you!
Come on chris there is no highway between us! The only cops I seen on those 2 roads were after I got ran over!!!
Good Morning Woodhounds!!(-:
Hello there GREG!
That’s turning a pile of rounds into hand sized pieces in a hurry. I love it Chris it goes to show smaller tonnage splitters can get the job done 😅
Yup, she is a real beaut!
Splittermania!!!!!!!!
Yup!
When I was a kid we were so poor I had to split wood 🪵 with my bare hands and I enjoyed it. Even today I can split wood with my bare hands faster than log splitter. 🦸♀️😅
