    I have been a professional fabricator for many years and now work at a technical college helping students design and build a project in their senior year. Your trailer setup with a winch and even the tongs are fantastic-A+++.The setup is a real back saver!
    I say this politely 🙂your table is an accident waiting to happen. I hope you are wearing steel toe shoes at the very least.

    When the ram stops before it is done splitting I just put a block of hardwood in and keep pushing until it pushes all the way through extending the ram a few inches. I have been using this 6.5 ton splitter for several years now, works great for my fire wood, now my nephew has a 37 ton splitter, I keep telling him it would probably split rocks LOL

      @@jaimedpcaus1 I think I would, it has split a lot of firewood for me and so far no real problems, I use it all year, in the summers for splitting the rounds for firewood and in the garage in the winter for making them even smaller. I did put a foot switch on it so I could have one hand free to guide the logs through. I really do not need a 37 ton splitter like some use for commercial operations, those can split rocks. LOL

    Neat trailer idea. I have the basically the same splitter. My is 5 ton. Yardworks brand. Looks exactly like yours, but a different colour. Every thing you’ve said about the splitter is true. I’ve had mine for 5 years and split 8 cords of hardwood with it each of those years.
    Great splitters.
    Have a great day.

    You need to add another cross piece on the bottom of the wedge end of the splitter to stabilize it from tipping so bad. And adding a table after the wedge end of the splitter for the wood pieces to slide onto would make it so much easier.

    I bought the WEN without the stand, and just use an old heavy duty fold up 3'x6' conference table. That way, if the log falls, it just lands on the table.

    I actually watched this video because of the crane and winch you are using. I am often loading large oak rounds by hand. Some are too large for me to load alone so they sit there until I can get my log splitter out to the job site. Been considering the crane and winch on my other trailer for this.

    I just ordered a 6.5 ton splitter from Lowe’s, get it later this week can’t wait to try it out. I have no larger then 12” rounds so according to your example should work fine. Time to retire the Ax:)

    The trick is to go around the knots. That's what gave you problems at the beginning.
    Also, these splitters badly need table extensions imo. I'd built a better table with an extension for outside and keep this table inside to make kindle wood in the winter.
    I like your trailer/arm/winch system a lot. Nice. Thanks for the video.

    • @OldSoulMillennial
      @OldSoulMillennial  Рік тому +1

      I agree with everything you said. Going through the knot was semi intensional to demonstrate what this unit can and Can't do. Cheers

    For the bigger rounds I take my saw and score the end, seems to work great

    • @OldSoulMillennial
      @OldSoulMillennial  Рік тому

      That's an idea. When the rounds get too large for me, I just rip them in half with the saw. Dulls the chain quickly though.
