Toothpicks! Although if that's what a specific wood burner calls for, then perfect. I usually don't split smaller than 8" if not round, or 6" if round, and even then, just halves. The kinds of rounds on the video would just be a quick axe or maul swing, just to halve them to expose grain for drying. If the round is bigger than 10" I might manually split quarters, or 14", sixths. If bigger than that, I use a single wedge hydraulic splitter (Honda 160 w/2-stage pump) and just keep splitting until the biggest endgrain dimension is within the range of 8-10". For whatever reason, that little splitter hasn't ever found a round it can't split, even when vertical taking on 45" rounds. I think that two-stage pump really multiplies the energy. That splitter of yours would really speed things up I suppose, but I love to swing a maul most of the time, and the wood on this video looks perfect for that.

I'm going to call that a 3 man machine to get the most production out of it and still produce consistent size firewood ie either feeding same size rounds (sorting) or adjusting the wedge or feeding one stacked on the other. It will keep one person occupied running the machine and one loading and another keeping it away from the machine. Machine is fast, looks heavy (hard to move?) and well built.

I've paused it at 6:45 and noticed, just as others noticed in first 12-22 vid that there appears to be a lot of small pieces of wood being created. Is this created because the steel is so thick because of it's heave durable design? It appears a smaller piece of wood would traditionally be split in half is actually split into 3 pieces ( 2 normal size pieces and a trash piece). NVMD, I now see after 2 min later it appears to cause a lot of splintering when the 6-way is used on smaller wood. Makes sense.

Hi Chris, boy oh boy that 12-22 sure looks fast. However, looks to me like that 6-way, in 3-way configuration, is producing a lot of kindling. As the wedge is set down low, you seem to be getting a lot of over-ride too! Am sure a man of your calibre could fine-tune the wedge position so that you could get better firewood. I know you are happy with your current splitter, but is this the first sign of a possible upgrade? If it were me, I would want the Honda engine though. Bo is back tomorrow ah! Don’t put him on that splitter 😱 not unless you are prepared to collapse with exhaustion 🥵🥵🥵. He has to earn that $35/hour…..and he really is the ‘machine.’ Len (Devon 🇬🇧).

Yup, I think the 4 way wedge would be better for the small wood.

I do not think it has the power for a 6 way wedge.

You split split multiple blocks at once with that splitter if they are small diameter. Probably could split three or four at a time if you do it right and line up the wedge correctly.

Yes and over the next couple of days I/we did just that!

I'll bet you loved running that 12-22 Chris. Question is - when are you getting yours? :)) Cheers!

Yes I sure did! Maybe I will!

When your 12-22 arrives, I'll buy your Ultra. Minus 21F in Wautoma this morning and the fuel pumps at work might have gelled up! Went to top off my tanks and only one pump was barely pumping. The other pump was dead.

Don’t think he ever said he’s getting the 12-22, would be better off with a Japa processor or similar. That 6 way making match sticks of small rounds.

That splitter pushes the pile vs your other splitter where the pile moves it back

Yes it is heavy but the next day or two I got the splitter to move too once the pile got bigger!
