I always worry about spontaneous combustion when I put my hay away each year. I wounder weather an over head water sprinkler would do anything, until the fire department got there?

well done firemen for coming all that way with the shiny red trucks to save some wooden pallets

"Promo sm"

Love it! Got the original, saw how small it was, returned it for the XL. It splits my ~7x16" firewood into smallwood and kindling in a flash. kzbin.infoUgkxSRemO77LrM90rx_It_Wh6ZnKAS0H2A8t Good for debarking too. It's so fun I now have too much kindling and have to fight the urge to split the big pieces. I usually split dried cedar, but I've split dried oak too. The edge on mine has stayed razor sharp. I mounted it on a couple pieces of pressure treated 4x4 to hold it steady and quiet the ringing. Several reviews and videos show people having trouble keeping the wood straight. How do I put this gently?... You have to be smarter than the wood. Don't try to split knots, or badly curved grain. And hold the wood (with leather gloves) and tap it once to set it on the blade before giving it a good whack. And you have to know how to swing a hammer. If you don't know what wood grain or knots are, and you can't swing a hammer without hitting yourself or things around you, I suggest buying firewood and kindling pre-split. But if you're smarter than a log, this beautiful tool will make splitting firewood into kindling safer, faster and way more funner! I highly recommend it, and get the XL.

Can't believe they couldn't save this! Maybe they needed someone else at the well pump handle to pump up and down faster.🤣

I don’t hear anything

splitter is way to slow

Ppl need to have their brans away from every things else and have a sprinkler system and where they're milking cows and they need to also have a sprinkler system workouts are to stay in the winter time if they're in a barn it is very sad to see Barnes so close to other things that catch on fire I don't understand why people have to build so close to Barnes It's sad and I'm glad no one got hurt and no animals got hurt better people live out away from the city they need to have sprinkler systems in all barns homes and milking powers so nothing like this will happen I'm glad everybody was all right God bless from Kentucky

Without work tables around the splitter wedges you have to bend over and pick up the same wood so many times you can wreck your back! It doesn't matter how good the rest of the machine is, you must eliminate all of the bending over you can!

Why are they spraying the fire, instead of protecting exposures. You ain’t putting that barn out, but the garage next to them is about to flash.

That was an ugly one

The gentleman who owns the farm is one of the largest farmers in the state. Owns just over 8,000 acres and runs 2,200 dairy cattle with no debt. He was fully insured.

Unbelievable Heat! Good stabilization on your camera... iphone?

Tragic

I hope any livestock or barnyard animals or pets or cats & dogs if they was in there got out ok.

I sppeded mine up with a few adjustments of the hydraulic system

Needs a catch tray for catching the larger splits so you don’t have to go around to pick them up off the ground

another 3 stooges fire department!!!!!!!!!!! spraying the roof of the house while the side in enflamed!!!!!

Catch you're wood before it falls to the ground. Splitter has plenty of power.

Mental note: When we rebuild the NEW barn, let's put a sprinkler, fire suppression system in it!

Such a shame.

Only rase the wing 4 inches on the first split , that way you get 2 pieces of fire wood instead of 4 large pieces.

Wow that will be a complete loss hope no animals were in there !!

Write that off gone before they got there

12.26 as the roof of the barn collapses. Two guys meet to discuss how much to rebuild. A bit of a fixer upper....have it fixed in a few days. 😂

Did anybody tell them they can move the hoses to the side to hit more of the fire ?

How come you don't catch the split pieces, so you don't have to bend over to resplit? It seems a catch or table extension would save your time and back

Spontaneous combustion from manure build up.

Is see this arch is for a raised flue pan . When insulating & bricking a arch for a divided or flat pan would you insulate & brick all the way down to the flue ?

It's built backwards!

Some one is setting fires to barns to get farmers to sell it's the local counties government that's prob paying drug heads to set fires catch them all and torchor them slow till dead

too slow. check out Brute Force splitters in wisconsin

Power connection on front of barn short circuiting, 2:30 - could start a fire.

I see a barn burnt down

Jeez, the camera work is like watching a drunk driver, slowly weaving from side to side, then suddenly jerking away from one side of the road or the other.

Barn collapses at 12:15

It's called contact county and have them contact someone with a trackhoe to separate buildings so you dont lose everything

Hope first engine on seen called for 2nd alarm

And that's how you get a new barn

No point in putting fire out when structure is total loss! May as well let fire consume everything or you just have bigger clean up. Just protect savable property and let fire clean up the mess.

Sadly there will be no barn finds in that barn

Terrible design. Same as their 1980s splitter. I added a table to mine, and reversed the hitch to the other end of the beam. Duh. The last thing i wanna do at end of day is move hundreds of pcs of firewood just to get to my hitch. Now we split all day, and just pull splitter away and pile stays there...duh. work smarter, thats 1 less time you have to handle it. Cmon northstar, if we can think of it and modify it and practically build it for you, you can too

Gotdaaaaaayum..this is where you get on the radio and call everyone and any dept within miles to come help. Been at a few like this

Seems slow.

if they put the wedge on the ram the wood that needs resplitting could stay on the lift and not have to be picked up off the ground to resplit otherwise it's a back killing piece of shit people that design this shit have never had to use them or they are just dumb

Oh lawdy lawd Jeezuuus

Bruteforce is faster and has more power.

No way its 42 ton.

Nice machine - bad video. No commentary, explanation... I want to build one like this but nobody doing these videos have working drawings to sell me. I've seen wood split many times. I don't need to see wood split several times in this video. I need to know the pump rating, the engine size, the cylinder size, fluid tank... etc.

Now let’s see it do a piece of gnarled oak.
