Fastest Woodsplitter On YouTube

[@outdoorsinthe608]

I bet your happy!! Crazy FAST!👍👍

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Wicked happy and it sure is fun to run

[@edhansen8531]

Wowsers Lal. Something new in the woodyard thats just the greatest. Love it. Welcome change.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks just have to make some splitting videos now

[@jamesbainton]

To get it unstuck - check out the Eastonmade Axis design - they welded a couple of pieces either side of the ram such that on the return stroke, it clears any logs which are stuck to it. It would be a lot safer than the chainsaw.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

If you look above the splitter knife we added a wood stripper on each side to protect the hose fitting on the ram but i didnt want them to come all the way down and hide the splitter knife but would still help in stripping the wood , looking back we could add a couple inches to it and still keep the knife visible for making videos .

[@ForestHogOutdoors]

Dude, you weren't kidding! This thing is an absolute unit. Nice build buddy!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks my buddy over at smore firewood did the build i wanted something that was fast so we got it down to a 2.2 cycle time i think a eastonmade axis is about 4.5 cycle time . . Your putting out some great videos keep up the great work an welcome to the firewood community i see your new like us to youtube

[@WoodysRTBFirewood]

Wow that’s a beast of a machine with an amazing cycle time. Very impressive!! Cheers

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks gota count ya fingers every time ya use it lol

[@jimstonoftheshire]

Absolute ripper! Love the mad max vibe too

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

lol thanks it ain’t perdy but it is fast .

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Awesome splitter! Well done on that build. That booger is a beast. Congrats Phil👊🏻

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks Todd you ever get up this way stop in an give it a test drive

[@clubdoraoutdoorsandfirewood]

Hi Phil, your guy certainly did a heck of a job on your splitter. You definitely don’t want to be tired running it. At least once every 30 seconds count your fingers. You could have your welder put a couple stripper plates on to pull the log off when you get stuck. Give yourself a week or so and you will learn it’s capabilities and may not happen much. The chain saw trick worked quite well. Be safe and get stacking. Nice job.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks we added a couple stripper plates more to just protect the fitting on the ram piston . probably should have made them longer but i didnt want to hide the splitter knife behind them . Ya you really want to be on ya game when working with this splitter but there is a valve to slow it down if i want to but thats no fun .

[@knottwworking]

That is a fast Machine!! Good job!👍

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks now i just need to learn how to keep up with it and keep my fingers attached

[@dono9879]

The splitter is all juiced up and ready to go. Be careful don’t let the loader get hurt. That was a monster round.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

That was the biggest round i could find in the pile to test it with

[@smorefirewood]

the cycle time is the 2.25 second design. you still need to grind the corners on the knife. its only about an 11 ton splitter

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

It cycles faster than me . I will get the grinder out next week an finish it up . Will that make it faster lol

[@sasquatchrosefarts]

​@@AllenFamilyFirewood it's one of the nicest splitters I've ever seen. Rub oil on it once a month and you're sitting pretty. Powder coat would be cool but that's big money.

[@calebela5179]

If it can't house a cold dew then it's not for phil! Can't beat that log lift either. Badass setup!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Not every splitter has a custom mt dew holder

[@Garlands_Fabrication]

Phil, very nice job on your machine I enjoy watching videos of cool projects people build that work. Nice work

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks ive sent a couple people your way looking for a similar splitter . Sorry it took so long to get back to ya i ben sick as a dog for 2 weeks an slacked off on responding to comments . It was a fun build i like most anything that goes fast lol

[@Garlands_Fabrication]

@@AllenFamilyFirewood Thank you phil we appreciate it! Hope you are feeling better.

You have some awesome skills to be able to build a machine like this !!

Maby but you still have way better toys in your yard than i do . love ya videos

[@TwinCityFirewood]

Wow!! You have a hoss of a splitter sir. We’ll done!! I especially like the handy cup holder! I just subscribed.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks we just finished giving it a makeover an figured it ought to have a mt dew holder .Thanks for the subscription

[@marksparkplug7758]

Working good, thanks, have a great weekend.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks

[@dennisgribbin3169]

Enjoy your videos. place a split or log between the stuck log and the strppers Dana welded on. Watching from Dallas Texas area.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks i will try that Sorry it took so long to respond i ben sick as a dog for 2 weeks and am just now catching up on comments i missed

[@GerardTreeService]

That’s a well tuned machine!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks Dave we needed it to keep up with all the wood you guys keep giving us

[@cut4fun50]

Very impressive splitter, quality welds guy who made it was a good fabricator. 👍😁. Subbed to your channel. 😎 Pat from nw Wisconsin

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks for subscribing . Dana at smore firewood did the fabricating an welding . Him an i go way back ,i tend to break an bust alot of things an he has always fixed them so that i cant break them again . He truly can weld an fabricate anything

[@almolloy5817]

What are the old brake rotors for that are hanging on the conveyor?

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Ha HA good eye . We re built the conveyor an when we did i didnt get it balanced right so the first time i sent wood up it tipped over lol . So i hung a couple rotors on the end to balance it . Your the first to notice it great question . Dont forget to sign up for the chain saw in todays sundays video . And sorry it took so long for me to get back to you

[@josephkennedy4515]

I have been running powersplit for years .how much would you build me one for I am being serious. I'm needing another vertical spliter for my company I understand that you don't build them to sale but I would like to have one.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

You should contact dana . They have a you tube page called smore firewood

[@chlyon]

Its an Easton made axis on steroids , seemingly needs an extra foot on the table but , very nice build

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks i didnt want the extra table because i wanted the wood after it was split to almost fall on its own down into the conveyor . We added a flow valve to control the speed so we can slow it down for regular people to be able to run it . Honestly a 2 second cycle time is to fast im 8 weeks along in recovering from chopping my thumb 75% off

[@Chris_Elliott2]

That’s awesome, very fast. Now I want a vertical 😆 Where did you get the hydraulic pump mount for the Kohler? I just built one with a 28gpm pump and a 22hp Kohler, I couldn’t find a mount like that and had to get a foot mount style. Kind of a pain to align it. Better wear gloves, then you know where your finger ends up!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Good eye my buddy that built the splitter also built the mount . We just used a lawn mower engine so we had to get creative on the build . He has some of the build on his channel. It’s called s’more firewood and his name is Dana . Guy is a wiz at hydraulics welding and fabrication and he dose firewood so he knows how to build splitters . He has a custom built horazontal splitter on his channel called orange crush that has features that I’ve never seen on another splitter .

[@Chris_Elliott2]

@@AllenFamilyFirewoodthanks, I’ll check it out. My engine came out of a cub cadet, sold the tractor after I pulled the engine for what I bought it for! Hard to say no there

[@cisco5400]

Thats impressive, love it!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks it sure spits the wood out in a hurry its definitely faster than me .

[@ronraby4561]

Awesomeness thing is fast may i ask how many gallon per hour pump and how big motor

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

To be honest i have no idea . My budy over at smore firewood built it for me an he has done a few videos talking about how he made it go that fast . Just leave him a comment an im sure he will tell ya . I do know it has a 20 hp engine but that was way over kill but thats all i could find for it on short notice .

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Definitely pretty fast!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Yup probably gona try it out on some hard wood next

[@danshouseofsmokeandoutdoor7119]

Definitely going to have lot wood to stack. Nice and fast I need a faster splitter. Keep up the good work.

What are you doing, making kindling? For real , that is a fast working machine you have there pal. 👍🇺🇸

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

We are making bundle wood but as a rule most of our sales are for small split wood . We do have some kindling videos we put out recently. That splitter demands all ya attention when running it . Trust me I know but luckily they were able to put my thumb back on .

[@cecilwells-tm4ss]

@@AllenFamilyFirewood yes

[@everydaywithmenick]

Wow that is crazy 🤪 thats a machine that one should be proud of for sure. Are you using a dual hydraulic pump on that thing ? You may have inspired me to make one 😄

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

It has a 28 gpm pump with a 20 hp engine . My buddy at Smore Firewood on you tube did the build an you can see the build videos on his channel

[@jamespritchett1886]

That is one of the fastest splitter I’ve seen especially the return stroke.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

I have a buddy thats a wiz at building stuff like that . I told him i wanted fast an thats what he made for me . It sure can split wood in a hurry . If you look back in our first videos 5 months ago you can see what the splitter used to look like before he upgraded it .

Nice work 👍

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks

[@JerrySpindler]

Really like your channel and have been going over your videos on your vertical splitter, would like to ask your permission to use some of your ideas to revamp my homemade splitter? Know you would never know I did but feel it not right to use your ideas without permission.

Heck ya an if ya get a chance send us some pics of it on our email. We like the home made stuff . My buddy Dana at s’more firewood did the build an has some videos of the build on his channel as well .

[@philup6274]

Impressive brother.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks great name an thanks for watching

[@markhowes126]

I like the foot pedal design. Powersplit you have to lift your leg up too high. You could even split with left foot.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks We designed it to be run with either foot an a short throw to help make it faster

[@BertsCustomCuts]

That thing looks faster than an axis. Well build design. The more you run it the slower it will seem to be.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Ive put a few cord threw it an it aint got any slower yet lol . it is a lil faster the cycle time from down to back is 2.2 sec but it also has a valve on the back so i can slow it down but that takes the fun outa it

[@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

It's gotta be way faster than the Axis. And stronger.

[@rogerl8488]

Wow so whats the trick to get it this fast? Can I speed my axis up an put a valve on it slow it down when I want? Thank you. Done a great job!!!!

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

@@rogerl8488 I didn’t build it so I don’t know but if you go an look up s’more firewood on KZbin he has some of the build videos on there channel an you can leave Dana a comment asking about it as he is the guy that built it

[@adammoggysawmilling5164]

I see at least 2 design flaws I'd definitely change but overall its 80% a great splitter the design seems strikingly familiar though...🤔😂

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Thanks that splitter was built by my grand dad almost 50 yrs ago before vertical splitters were a thing and was run off of a tractor i wanted to bring it up to todays standards . We probably should have extended the log stripper but i didnt want to hide the splitter knife . Always open to ideas on how to make it better it also has a valve to slow it down to make it more user friendly to people who want to split slower plus i didnt have to wait 18 months to order an easton made my buddy at smore firewood built it in just a few weeks

[@Alan_Hans__]

Dana does some very nice work at times. I was mortified when you pulled out the chainsaw and hacked into that block. I'd suggest that you raise any jammed up pieces as high as they can be lifted and then put a block under the edge closest to the working face and let the splitter push itself (mostly) out of the jam. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZSanqaao9mff5Y . This Rusky built vertical splitter might be a tad faster I think. It can't do big blocks quite as easily though.

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Most of the time putting a block under it works but not always every now an then i will swing the maul an try an knock it free but when all else fails i break out the saw because it always works . Probably not the safest way but it work every time . Over the yrs Dana has built an fixed alot of the stuff i use to make a living . When it comes to fabricating an welding hes the best i know . I will go ck out that splitter .

[@Alan_Hans__]

He does do some nice gear.

[@stever4360]

Next I head to dads house in Bangor I’m dropping the ultra off a Dana’s place! I bet he can set me up w a lift and table extension or two

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

If anyone can do it Dana can but he is always right out strait this time of yr . Best time is to catch him in the fall or winter months for big projects

Buster 4.0😂 Andrew Easton should buy that design. That splitter is incredibly fast. Must be the larger ports on the cylinder? And I agree, it's almost too fast. One second of not paying attention...

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Combination of alot of things 20 hp engine 28 gpm pump oversized fittings an hoses and a special cylinder ware the bore is almost the same size as the cylinder .

Nice machine. Your crazy for using a chain saw like that.
