I'm still in awe of the Super Split!

[@ohiowoodburner]

It is a great machine Ivor

[@rodneysweetnam8653]

Hi Ivor - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I'm with you, I'd love to have one but there're not available this side of the pond. I contacted the factory but they have no plans to export here. I suspect its because the Super Split contravenes safety regulations but hopefully that might change now that we have diverged from the EU.

Hi Joe, I have been busy with summer family events and had a chance to watch your video today and see your Supersplitter in operation again. As good luck would have it, my Superslitter arrived today off the truck. I am looking forward to putting it together this upcoming weekend and start splitting with much more efficiency and speed! Thanks so much for informing me on the advantages of the kinetic splitter and this brand! Just priceless!

[@_B_K_]

This is a great demo. I have a lot of California Coast Live Oak to split, which is knotty and stringy, like the wood you split at 7:20, and I am tired of doing it by hand (I get carried away and then need a while to recover... and I use my hands for a living, so I can't have that). Just bought a cheap electric hydraulic splitter and it sucks... so returning that and looking for a proper splitter. So far, this Super Splitter thing has my attention the most... I might be pulling the trigger here in a day or two.

[@deanbarr5740]

Great way to start a Sunday Joe, splitting firewood. That was a quick job. First time I ever saw a SpltFire Splitter was on your channel. I've never ever seen one in north central West Virginia. Enjoy your day .

[@chrisartman6168]

Hi Joe! Glad to see you back at it. I hope that your vacation was a great one. That hickory sure made the super splitter groan. But it still got it done. I’ve only had my super splitter for 3/4 of a year, but I’m loving it. The hardest thing I split so far was some twisted cherry. It was a pretty straight tree, but the grain has quite a twist to. I couldn’t touch it with an axe. I would’ve been driving splitting wedges for a week just to process a 30’ tree. I know because I tried to split the larger rounds to get them on the production table. I ended up noodling them. Not bundle grade, but it’s nice cherry firewood now that it seasoned over the summer. Thanks for another great video Joe! I hope that you have a great day 👍🏻!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Chris. Cherry seems to twist a lot. With smaller sticks I just let them turn in the knife...keep you hand off the top of it and it seems to split.

[@DDL2728]

The totes are very good at making stacking and delivery easier and you can cut the top of the bladders off and use them as roofs to help protect the wood from excessive rain that we get in this area or in any area protecting from the rain you can use it as a hat just cut the top part off and the bottom and you can use one on the bottom the other on the top you can use the sides to make extra tops and bottoms as well to have extra on hand then they can easily be moved around you can do multiple totes for multiple species of tree firewood and keep it very much easier and more organized The less you have to manhandle the wood the more productive you can be

[@Huzzunga]

We had a tree blow down this spring. The iPhone photo said it was a walnut, whitest walnut I’d ever seen. Anyway I though it was a hickory like the triple hickory in the back yard. Now I know I was correct. When I first cut it up, I hauled it around back to try to split it by hand. My 13 pound maul just bounced off it. Fast forward four month is it has dried out and cracked, 12” rounds split easily with my 8 pound maul. I always like to relax watching a super split in action.

[@johnrosier1686]

Those are good splitters but I ended up purchasing a big box splitter for two reasons. One was price and the other is the ability to vertically split. If I ever get into some high production firewood I will strongly consider purchasing one. If I ever need a new wheelbarrow I will most likely purchase an A.M. Leonard. Thanks for the video.

[@kurknell2029]

That splitter is pretty darn awesome 👍🏻

[@savagefirewood]

Good day Joe I do agree if I were to start over I would of purchased a kinetic splitter over a big box store splitter either I have made it and the Eastonmade 12-22 a year ago I have purchased game changer.

Goodday, Joe. So happy to have another video from you where the "SuperSplit" is featured going through its paces. The company that manufactures these kenetic splitters offers three versions. I think it was established in another video that yours is the lightest-duty version. Do you have any opinion on the other more heavy-duty versions that are offered by "SuperSplit"? The extra price differential is not all that much in addition. Thanks for your opinion in advance. Much appreciated. I think I would definitely want the largest table that they have as an option. Was surpised when I read that you think you could split more firewood with the singtle wedge "SuperSplit" if it was up against an Eastonmade Ultra equipped with a four way wedge !!!!!!!

[@EcSsAwS]

Looks like it does a pretty good job on average sized wood. And also appears you have to be quick on that lever when it stops pushing

[@bwillan]

The Super Splitter is a good tool. I think the Eastonmade Ultra is a little better as it can use a 4 way wedge. It is also not that much more expensive if your are looking at the Heavy duty model with the production table.

[@ohiowoodburner]

So i disagree about the 4 way knife. I used to feel that way too until I started using it. The single knife is the way to go. It is faster overall and makes better firewood. Seems odd but it is the way to go

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Add shipping to the Ultra and it is nearly 3x the price!

Joe, you'dove the cherry logs I got. Bucked up a bunch 5mo ago into rounds and anything not on the ground is ready to burn when I did a test split. Gotta jump when Mrs OWB says "get this cleaned up".

If a log round is too big you can split it in half or even in quarters with a chainsaw and then split it on the splitter where it’s light enough for you to carry that’s what I used to do before I broke my back

Hey Eric!!

[@jasone679]

Morning Joe, I like to set my tote on a stack of 4 or 5 pallets when I'm stacking off the splitter, less bending and still a good height to work at when you get to the top. Been thinking I'm going to start setting them on top of a pallet when putting in the drying yard to help protect the metal pallet from ground contact. Going to be a great week temperature wise for working if the rain doesn't get in the way.

[@ohiowoodburner]

good idea jason. Keeps the grass away from the bottom row too

[@Funtimepartyrental]

A wealth of information here. Largest mistake we made starting was using the standard I beam splitter. Time is money! Those IBC totes are a lifesaver for us. Makes loading and unloading the kiln much easier.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks Rod!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

But the hydraulic splitters have a lot more power for the knotty wood.

[@Funtimepartyrental]

Each tool has it place. Pine, birch, cherry, laurel and red oak the kinetic is fast. On live oak, knots, crotches, etc the only thing we can split it with is the old 37 ton I beam.

Hey Joe another great video but I think you might need a lesson or two on how to count on your fingers. 😂✌

[@ohiowoodburner]

ha! Math has never been in my sweet spot

[@jakebredthauer5100]

What about sharpening the SuperSplit? You store most of your firewood by laying it on its side. Those rounds will dry much better if they are laid on their side because the rain will run off more and the ends are exposed to the drying air. When they are on their sides there is less contact with the damp ground.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I have never sharpened it for as long as I have had it. The knife could use a new edge Maybe I can do a vid doing that.

[@jakebredthauer5100]

@@ohiowoodburner Sharpening would probably help. I suppose a small angle grinder would do it. To avoid overheating the metal do not hold it in one spot but move it up and down all the time. Overheating can have a degrading effect on the durability of high carbon tempered steel. I heard Andrew Easton say that sharpening his wedges will make them perform better but also make them more dangerous. If you do sharpen it maybe you could also Implement a safety device to cover it and protect it (when not being used). If the edge ever were dented, only grind out the dented part and not the whole edge. A little dip in the edge is fine. At one time EastonMade sold their wedges sharp but then they switched over to selling them not so sharp because people are handling them so much. I know that you do not change wedges on your super split.

[@rodneysweetnam8653]

Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. Before attacking it with an angle grinder you could try a new chainsaw flat file. I've had great success in similar projects. If you switch to the angle grinder I suggest you use a flapper disc instead of the standard hard one.

Hi Matt. This is the J model with the standard table. IMO that is all you need. It will split anything you can lift onto the table.
