Third function. That comes standard on the Kioti

@@willowcreekwoods I have a New Holland 25 workmaster with no third function. From what I understand with the diversion valve I can regulate the speed that I open and close the unit with the diverted tilt and roll function on the joystick but I can not simultaneously use the tilt roll and the grapple cylinders at the same time. On the other hand if I add a third function I can open and close the grapple simultaneously with the tilt roll but I can not adjust the speed at which I open and close the grapple. Do you think any of these things matter in your experience? Adding a third function is about 3 times the cost of a diverter valve. Thoughts?

I have had diverter valves on other stuff and yes it is a lot more expensive having a 3rd but I would say it is well worth the money

I could see that. Mine plugs up pretty quickly and my wood is all under 20%

The stroke of it is 24”. The table height I can’t remember I do know it has an 8” lift which that was an add on option. If you asking how wide the table/log lift is I would have to measure that and get back to you.

thanks

Did I answer your question correctly?

The bed on it seems like it was longer than another video where the young owner is running a unit and said it was 24.0 I thought that one might be a 30 or 36 the way you're able to put those big rounds on each end as the blade went back and forth. But it's no big deal.. that's a nice splitter .. those headphones are a good idea also.. all three of y'all working together on keeping that thing fed and emptied is pretty impressive

We love this splitter. We have used other and still like everything about the split fires

I wouldn’t do any other way. Love the belt

I really can’t remember but I want to say right around 3k.

@@willowcreekwoods I'm a single man just heating my house so me spending 385.xx at Lowe's was my best option....But i agree, your splitter is a LOT better.....

I don’t get it.

Yea it has been awesome using it. Works well with the Kioti.

I’m sure glad split fire is what I bought. Even their customer service is awesome!!

I can for sure say it’s one hell of a splitter.

Your channel looks interesting. I’ll definitely be checking it out on my days off.

@@willowcreekwoods keep in touch hopefully we can grow both channel equally We cut a lot of pallet logs that could forsure go firewood lol

We love it so far. I do sometimes wish I went with UHMW all around. I thought while back dragging it would be quieter but still makes a back drag noise and does leave black marks sometimes but I still like it over the snowblower. Way easier to clean also after using it vs snowblower. We like to heat the garage and it’s always a pain to try and get all the snow that is packed in the snowblower. With this it’s simple.

Love them ear muffs. They are the stihl advanced pro com. They work great. It’s a mesh intercom so all you do is turn them on and they all connect together with no programming. I need to make a video on them I have had a lot of people ask about them. Just trying to figure out how I want to do it. Seems like it would be simple to just put my dji mic where the pro com mic is but then you can’t really hear on video of the sound quality in the headset. They work great but they are not cheap that’s for sure.

@@willowcreekwoods Thanks for the info, much appreciated 👍TCT

Yea you could. 6.5 to 7 seconds full cycle time so really about 3 seconds each way……you don’t want to be sleep at the wheel that for sure. lol!!

Yea I have used several splitters and really like this one. Plus it’s pretty safe also.

@@kembanggula4772 well it’s 2 retired people and me they do it for just something do to vs sit in a chair and do nothing. That’s kinda like me wasting my time to tell you that your wasting your time by being an ass.

​@@willowcreekwoodsoh yeah... youtube star 🤣🤣🤣

@kembanggula4772 No one said I was but you I guess.

@kembanggula4772 I just don’t get that fact that you would waste your time saying that someone is wasting their time. Makes no sense but what ever floats your boat.

I could do that. I’ve noticed there are not really many videos on those.

Yea I guess I don’t know I thought it cut just fine for me but that’s the first time I ever used an 880.

I’ve always thought about a vertical splitter. There are 3 good choices that I would think about buying but like the way this split fire operates. When you have big rounds on this 4413 your still rolling the round but on a vertical now the round is on the side which to me is harder to move a 36” or more round laying flat then it is to roll a round. I would love to try a vertical out some day and maybe then I would change my opinion but until then I guess I’ll stick with a horizontal.

54”. We love it. I’d rather have more than enough power to push then have a pusher too big you can’t push.

And for the 4413 it handles anything I give it. Love it.

Good video. I do like the split fire design, way better than the box store splitter.

And it just seems simpler. Love everything about the 4413.

Yea the headsets are nice. stihl advanced pro com’s makes work little bit more enjoyable and everyone can talk to each other without screaming.

I like the 4-way when I’m splitting for my buddy that uses boiler wood. When using the duel wedge I get less trash. But I do love this splitter.

@@willowcreekwoods I see you tow your splitter behind your pickup truck. Did you get the "rubber heavy duty suspension"? Curious as I will need to tow mine also. I don't know what MPH it's rated for. I guess I need to call Splitfire to make sure I get the proper setup. Also, do you normally run your splitter at half throttle? I'm trying to decide on the high flow kit but if I get the high flow kit and only run at 1/2 throttle it's probably equal to the normal stock set up speed??? Keep the videos coming, I enjoy them as well as seeing the teamwork.

@glengarritysr9997 We do not have the heavy duty suspension after talking to Dillon and telling him what we do he said we would be fine without it. I can’t remember what tow rate for mph. For running splitter at half throttle most of the time we do… it’s literally scary fast at full throttle lol. But with high flow option you get a bigger tank and we thought it would toe better. We were going to order a 3k series with the heavy duty suspension,8” lift, log lift but after talking to them the owner Marco had a 4413 he personally used and we ended up buying that from him so we went with the big one and I can’t say enough about it… absolutely love it and there customer service is the best. Give Dillon a call at (519) 468-3647. Tell them you talked to Jason from Willowcreekwoods. @SplitFireSalesInc

@@willowcreekwoods That is awesome customer service. I'll give them a call early next week. I like the taller knife on the 4000 series splitters. Thanks for the reply.

Yes that’s definitely a plus.

Love it. Can’t wait to get back out and use it more.

I do not. I actually sold the 2265 when I got my 4413. But loved the 2265. It was an awesome splitter

Would you mind sharing why you went with this unit over the 3455?

The 3455 would have done me just fine. Now that we do have the 4413 we actually are glad we went this route because we like splitting bigger stuff not that the 3455 couldn’t have done it but we also ended up buying Marco’s splitter he used at his house. So we saved some money with it being used. In my opinion you gain a lot more splitter for the upgraded cost….yes it is more money but you gain a ton. Most of the rounds I split are 30” or more and I don’t have to put the round on splitter a certain way because it just goes right through it no matter what’s on the table.

If I remember right they said 4 to 6 weeks but was probably more like 3 weeks. I would think you be getting your’s soon.

Haha yes so I’ve been told. Some people don’t want to hear the splitter some do. But yes next time no music.

@@willowcreekwoods when i'm outside working i carry my bluetooth speaker w/ me & listen to music..... but when i split wood or chainsaw, i turn it off....can't hear it...

We now have a 4413 which is twice as fast. Most of the time we do turn 90 and just do 2 splits but sometimes we must feel lazy haha

lol. We usually do turn 90 but I guess it depends on the day. For the large rounds I don’t really consider those large. Check out my 4413 videos. Those are what I call large rounds.

Split-Fire 4413 Big Round kzbin.infoc9n6G6qWMTk?feature=share

Yea they sure don’t give them away but it is one nice stove

That is an option (8”) from standard. So our table is 34” tall at the bottom of the knife. We had the 2265 with electric motor which was nice but then started getting into more and bigger wood so we upgraded and now can split anywhere and literally anything. The 4413 we use mostly at half throttle because it is fast but nice to have it when you want it at full throttle. Whatever you pick out I was glad I got the high flow. If you call split fire and talk to Dylon he can answer anything you ask. Their customer service is awesome. And I mean AWESOME!! Super great to work with.

@@willowcreekwoods Awesome! Thank you for the wonderful reply. I am hoping to order soon. Trying to decided between the 3000 series or the 4000 series. I really want the 8 inch lift option deciding on the high flow option. I mainly work alone so I might not really need it as it's pretty fast already. Thanks again.

Yea they are already fast from the get go. I usually have 3 people splitting and still don’t go full throttle. So working alone probably don’t need high flow. Now for the 3000 to 4000 series the 3000 series would do anything I need it to but might have to watch when you get to certain rounds the 4000 series who cares put it on pull the lever and it goes. lol. I must add…… to me you get a lot more splitter when going from the 3 to 4 but does a person really need it probably not. We were on the fence about the 8” lift but we are supper glad we got it.

@@willowcreekwoods Thanks for sharing your evening with me :) One thing for sure, they are awesome splitters! God bless & good health!

I bought a 4490 a year too soon . Definitely would have gone with the bigger pump. I did the extra height just like you did. Works great. Went to Paul Bunyan this year and they had that splitter on display. I was thinking it never fails as soon as I buy something it gets upgraded.

We just got a 4413 I’ll be posting some better videos of it with no music lol.

@@willowcreekwoods thank you. I would be very interested in seeing the machine when you post it. Please let us know about the speed of it compared to your 2265 and if the motor is louder or the same. What made you decide to step up so far in machine choices, rather than something Like the 34XX series? If I am correct I think the main benefit, if that, is the 44XX series has a stronger frame. I’m just surprised as to such a big jump up, unless you felt the need. Thank you.

Oh yea. Never seen any blood. She came back that night and the next night and moved 5 babies out.

@@willowcreekwoods What a miracle, my goodness. Super close! On too see another day! How awesome!

In this video I just used the small hose until I want to do an actual cleaning of them. I posted a video couple days ago on how to open it up more to expose the cat better. But yes you are correct removing one secondary air tube then you can remove the baffle

Thanks,, I did watch and subscribe @@willowcreekwoods

That’s what I want is a 3490. That’s the high flow right

@@willowcreekwoods yes, you are correct. From what I know it’s the same as the 4xxx series but with the 3xxx series frame. After watching all of their machines and seeing hoe they handle most everything thrown at them, I felt I did not need a frame any heavier, just wanted the high flow system. It is a rocking machine and I have not had anything stop it, yet.

Thanks!

No I do not. Blew snow real good but electric up and down for blower just to slow for me.

Snow pusher. JD was great but I do own a Kioti CK3520se now also.

That is a log dock for when cutting wood. We just never took it out that day. It works great don’t have to cut wood while bent over
