FIREWOOD - A Great Commodity - County Line 40 Ton Wood Splitter Review

In this video we use our County Line 40 Ton Wood Splitter from Tractor Supply to split firewood.
Spoiler alert, the slitter works well for our family and needs.
We tow the splitter with our Kubota L2501 tractor around the property.
I'll do my best to answer any questions you have in the comments.

ive also found if you extend the cylinder it makes lifting to the vertical position much easier

[@Academy_Farm]

Good point! I imagine there's a lot of weight there. I'll try that this weekend! Thanks for the tip.

[@Michael-ll3rk]

@@Academy_Farm you bet!! Good luck

1:14 Hang a funnel off of the table with a small cable or chain, long enough to reach the gas tank. It will swing away as you drive, but not enough to get in the way.

[@Academy_Farm]

Brilliant! Thanks!

[@gcenb1]

nice video, and good helper you have!

[@Academy_Farm]

Thanks! He sure is!

[@BarndoVilla]

Great video! Love the review. Looking at getting this.

[@Academy_Farm]

Thanks! I don't think you'll regret it!

Hey Men, l Realy like your "Automatic Log Load-a-later system ". Good help is hard to come by these days ! The "helper-learners" are usually "Stranded" in mind-numbing "Numb-tendo fantasy's. It is Always good to get "fresh-air" & Sunshine, plus it helps the "Appetite, & muscular development " & cures "couch-potato-itis". Best wishes with all your endeavours.

[@Academy_Farm]

That young man is being raised right! We'll have to make him a name tag "Automatic Log Load-a-Later" Haha! Thanks for watching!

[@donaldstrishock3923]

@@Academy_Farm No ,problem. Glad l could help with the "re-nameing" of the "Fine young Fellow". Just don't "know" anybody's real name frum the channel either.... kind of curious, or is it "Top-Secret". Have a Great Day.

[@Academy_Farm]

No secrets here! I'm Mitch and my costar is called Jonathan. We'll do the whole family into before too long!@@donaldstrishock3923

[@donaldstrishock3923]

@@Academy_Farm Thank you Sir ,just like to know who l'm "Talkun-Taxing( hate it) ,or Realy Talking to. Thank you for your "shows of inspiration & how-too's ; Mr.Mitch.

My only real complaint about the splitter is putting gas in it is a pain👎🏻. Great splitting session, looked like a fun day hanging out with your son!

[@Academy_Farm]

Glad I don't need to fill it up often! Always time-well-spent with the boys. Thanks for watching! I think the splitter is how I first came across your channel. 👍🏻

[@samhotstick13.28]

There’s another dip stick on the opposite side, easier to access.

[@Academy_Farm]

It's true! I've since found said dip stick. Thanks!

[@bud1412]

Nice splitter, pretty darn fast. What do they sell for? The one log your boy lifted weighted as much as him. I subbed.

[@Academy_Farm]

Thanks, Chuck! They're right at $2,800 in NH today. He's at that age where he feels invinsible; good for production but a little unnerving at the same time!

[@user-ue8cv2wz2c]

Hi. I enjoyed the video. I’m thinking about getting this model for myself. Do these have the auto cycle option? Thanks

[@D-OveRMinD]

Wow. Dinged it right off the bat because you couldn't figure out to raise the tool, PLUS, you have a crap gas tank.

[@Michael-ll3rk]

there is another dipstick on the other side in a more convenient location.

[@georgeshotrodbarn2113]

Young lady you need to cut back on the beer.

[@keithoneill6252]

Have you had any issues with this splitter overheating?

[@Academy_Farm]

Not the engine. There's a adjustable air intake for cool vs warm weather. There's an overflow on the hydraulic reservoir that will spit out oil when it gets real hot, but that's by design.

[@13bravoredleg18]

My Countyline 25 ton splits 30 inch Oak rounds with ease…

[@Academy_Farm]

Awesome! That's some giant, heavy firewood!

[@davidjury478]

Why doesn’t the guy splitting pick up the wood to split you doing it all wrong know you have to pick up the wood again to stack it when the kid could stack it right off the splitter

[@Academy_Farm]

That's a good point! It's mostly because the guy doing the splitting doesn't like to bend over. The kids can stack un-supervised. Not quite ready to split un-supervised. Thanks for watching!

[@D70340]

PLEASE, TURN THE MUSIC DOWN! Better yet, STOP putting music in the videos.

[@Academy_Farm]

Will do! I'm think I'm getting better with production since this one was posted. Thanks for watching! Hope the more recent videos are more bearable.

[@Dirtpoorhomesteader]

@@Academy_Farmyour use of music in the video wasn’t even something I noticed because it wasn’t overdone. Everything flowed fine.

[@Academy_Farm]

@branionwoody3418 Phew! Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!

Hi. I enjoyed the video. I’m thinking about getting this model for myself. Do these have the auto cycle option? Thanks

[@Academy_Farm]

Thanks! The wedge will auto return, but you need to hold handle to go forward; the dangerous direction. Still no regrets here!

[@user-ue8cv2wz2c]

@@Academy_Farm thank you.
