Palax Power100S Firewood Processor version 02

The Palax Power 100s is a firewood processor designed for professional use. It includes several unique proprietary features that make it the most efficient, productive and reliable machine of its size for processing big trees. The robust Palax Power 100s is equipped with a 1000 mm / 39.3 in overhead hard-metal blade, a thrust force of 16 tons (kg) / 35,300 lbs and fully hydraulic control. The machine is at its best when processing hardwood. The maximum tree diameter is 40 cm / 15.7 in.
Automatic high-speed valve - As a rule, the work stroke is always performed at high speed. If the smaller splitting force induced by the high-speed function is great enough, the wood will split up. If the splitting force at high speed is not great enough, it will immediately be boosted. As soon as the splitting of the wood starts and the force requirement is reduced, the high-speed operation will automatically resume. The high-speed motion brings added speed for small trees and added force for big trees.
Optimizing the stroke length increases the splitting speed - The Palax Optimi is the method for optimizing the length of the splitting stroke by limiting the cylinder stroke in accordance with the length of the processed wood. A full stroke is used for processing longer sized wood. If the length of the processed wood is shorter sized, then the cylinder stroke is reduced to almost a half and thus the splitting speed is virtually doubled!
Automatic tightening of the V-belts - The transmission drive belts of the Palax Power 100 are equipped with automatic tightening. Automatic tightening of the belts completely eliminates the need for repeated retightening of the belts or malfunctions due to slack or too-tight drive belts. Keeping the belts at the correct tightness greatly extends the service life of the belts and the entire transmission.
Long service intervals - increased productivity - Lubed-for-life ball bearings in all the control levers make operation of the machine precise, reliable and long lived and extend the service intervals.

I could sit and watch that all day!

[@picvajzpikcers]

This is enormously satisfying to watch.

[@stizan24]

I like my maul and my ax but I could watch that thing all day. I don't know why but I really like watching wood being split.

[@SD89120]

I love the sound of the wood splitting. It sound like ...victory!

[@djamac360]

The sounds the wood makes when its splitting mesmerizing.

[@tupolev141]

Every year I come back and give this a watch. It's mesmerising. The sound of splitting wood gives me tingles

[@1960kenbrown]

Brings back memories. I worked for a company in Scotland that sold and serviced, Palax processors. That was about 10 years ago.

[@Xanthotoxin]

fluid working machinery like this gives me total wood

[@cagoodie2shus]

watching the truck get loaded on top of everything else was amazing. I own a mixed woodlot and would love to see "normal" mixed sizes and bends go through. It actually looks like it could handle that too!

[@jhontheunmortal]

The sound of wood being split like this is such a satisfying sound...

[@MrZazzles94]

The saw sound followed by the crunch is strangely satisfying.

[@radiofriendly]

whoever made this video: well done. love the sounds---clear and distinct camera angles. it's worthy of the old Mr. Rogers specials and sesame street.

[@bigwoodtree]

¡Increíble video! Me encantó ver cómo el Palax Power100S Firewood Processor versión 02 hace el trabajo de manera tan eficiente. Realmente muestra cómo la tecnología puede hacer que las tareas sean más fáciles y rápidas. ¡Gran trabajo!

[@Izlude7189]

One of the most satisfying sounds in the world.

[@demeza07]

That splitting sound has to be one of the greatest noises.. ever.

[@caseyweber9492]

All these comments about how we like watching this.... Man grunt 🔥 Runs deeper than you think....

[@11leeman]

something about watching the logs get split is mesmerizing to me.

[@martinberzerker7032]

riemurasiasta päivää.

[@patzino7701]

+Martin Berzerker Samoin, pitäiskö lähtee hengailee johonki toisellekkin sivustolle?

[@s37d]

i could watch this all day

[@OneEyePI]

There arent words to describe how much I want one of those. I'm cutting wood for winter now and my back is killing me!

[@davisx2002]

no wonder a bundle at the gas station is being sold for 9 bucks. This machine cant be cheap to operate. Looks like a hell of a lot of fun to operate.

[@rollercoaster1rock]

I don't know why, but this is so satisfying to watch!

[@BucherondeQuebec]

this is the best wood processor ever made ive seen , that s the beast !!!!!

[@cLouddestructer]

This is the kind of stuff tha keeps me up at night.

[@kjkolkowski]

friend of mine made one nearly identical to this. he however, didnt have the luxury of perfect logs (like the rest of you are saying) he had a splitting wedge appx. 30% heavier than the one in this video, and he would shear the wedge right off when he had to go through knots. other than that... i highly recommend a machine like this to anyone who wants to make money from firewood processing as a job.

[@rukario1122]

I want one so bad. I have, like, millions of old firewood logs that I have been meaning to cut lately.

[@Hate2Loveme1991]

My point is that exactly. The output rate of these machines is incredible. So quick in fact that they are chopping down and processing trees faster than they can be planted and grown, causing a declining rate of this resource. It's simple economics really. As supply decreases, and demand remains stagnant or increases, prices increase. Not to mention the stigmatic effects on the ecosystem. People won't change until they are forced to. It's like an understood law of humanity. C'est la vie.

[@JormaKovanen]

Maybe in your coutry like that. In Finland, by the law, new trees must be planted after cutting down the trees.

[@thedreamliner2012]

Just the splitting section is approx $12k. The auto-loader conveyor is $3k. The unload conveyor with tumbler is $4k. So, for the whole thing would be under $20k. This is for large, wood clearing operations that process firewood year around. Otherwise, you'd never get you money back out of it. Then you have to have some kind of truck to load the logs, transport for the split wood, saw blades with a sharpening machine, etc.

[@tsutl84]

Aww... but the water pipes used to push potatoes through the blades and then carry them to the next part are already so cool!

[@james7167]

i could watch that all day

[@sleepmark]

so satisfying watching that, and that crunch sounds so good

[@brittenv1000]

i could watch this all day!

[@tonybrewer]

This machine sounds very, very happy.

[@rallyraceface]

im weird but i love the sound of the wood splitting.

[@wingmanalive]

Anyone else left starring aimlessly at the splitter heads never wanting the video to end?

[@chuckbear1961]

Splitter part reminds me of my french fry cutter , great machine you have there

[@liveinsinfight2win]

i cant even imagine the force it takes for that thing to push wood to the point of splitting, pretty rad.

[@Sh4n73c]

That really is a nice machine "i could watch this all day! "

[@edgeandy]

Just that sound of splitting wood.....ecstasy

[@2n918]

Wow, this machine is all business! I am impressed! Thanks for posting.

[@dedalliance1]

Back in the day, People had to do this by hand!

[@mertvak]

thats a nice fast log processor, few improwements to make it fully automatic and the guy could get fired lol this baby sure makes some nice profit of those loggs, i want one of those!

[@sherpajones]

I could watch this for hours.

[@awdawdawdawdawd8592]

My mouth waters when I hear the sound of splitting logs. Why?

[@jamessmith84240]

Imagine putting your hand in front of the log at 1:55... Safe to say your piano playing days would be over! :)

[@irelandbloke]

Lovely sound

[@55woodie]

Henry Ford would admire the assembly line production........ Nice machine:)

[@valevisa8429]

Reminds me of how hard was for me to split fire wood with an ax when i was a child.

[@vidshooter]

I'm heating my 2600 sf house here in New Hampshire, USA (one hour north of Boston) almost entirely with wood that was sustainably harvested from my 12 acre forest. It is about 10 degrees F outside right now and I am comfortable. I would be burning a 55 gallon drum of heating oil per week to get this otherwise.

[@whatnamesnottakenyet]

looks like one of those play dough toys when it splits the logs. pretty bad ass machine though

[@markwalzer8780]

I wish I could borrow this for just 1 day per year! Gotta feed my Hopsco outdoor wood furnace, and this splitter would do the trick just perfectly!

[@barnabybeech8393]

that was oddly satisfying to watch

[@gercolt]

COLL WORK GUYS BEST 1 I HAVE SEEN YET...

[@originaali]

Riemurasiasta toinen päivää

[@spikybry]

so satisfying, like those old Play dough toys

[@Reverseflush]

LOL especially knotted oak. BTW did you notice how the splitting part of this video sounds like someone eating a bag of chips? LOL

[@Malvisk]

who would end up watching this video and click DISLIKE?? Cool video, wish I could have one at my friend's place. =)

[@dpress95]

thats the coolest thing i have ever seen....

[@laothakao]

Every home owner should get one!!!

[@georgez.2961]

Very slick operation!!!

[@Itapirkanmaa2]

It clears extra chips and other debris from the product.

[@greymilton]

That is cool! I have seen and used log splitters before but this machine is awesome.

[@Elweenieloco]

that is one serious machine. very efficient.

[@darrylklawitter5087]

I like the looks of all the different firewood processors. NOT ONE ever is used with the kind of wood we have to work with twisted elm and box elder. I would really like to see machines tackle some real wood instead of nice straight logs with straight grains. How about it guys? or are you afraid to show how they perform when the going gets real?

[@tscott21970]

I have to agree, a big ol twisted log would most likely stop this thing in its tracks.

[@Mortalomena]

+Darryl Klawitter this is birch, really straight naturally, hardly ever "crooked". Even the crooked ones go thru this, but the bad ones are used for other purposes.

[@oceantrolls73]

that is nothing short of AWESOME! well done

[@jonoedwards4195]

A thing of Beauty Mate.

[@ikambor]

sweet,,, wish we had one of those back in the day

[@x65535x]

I believe it's to remove overly small rather useless pieces that could otherwise be sold as kindling. It also helps to remove loose incomplete splits. Probably gets some deburring action that keeps the edges smoother for working.

[@28yogy4todd]

the mrs. would love one ot these for christmas too !

[@otter4370]

This sort of thing needs to be in a SAW movie.

[@grhysman]

wicked tech there i hate splittin logs this looks great

[@Pookereh]

As someone who heats their house with wood 7 months of the year, you are not alone my friend. Hnnnggg

[@HowieGaming]

This is the best 240p of All Time.

[@disturbed69690]

now they have the right idea, im impressed and interested in this machine and ill look further into it.

[@fahrvergnuugen]

because it splits perfectly for a demo video

[@firewoodkid100]

it is cool when he adds the attchment

[@curtis133]

i want, even the log splitter part alone would be gold, i think im gonna modify my log splitter now lol

[@2011Maynard]

Really cool for 1/2 million dollar wood splitter...

[@BlazerVette]

Thats a wicked setup!

[@mercoid]

I can push the log through that splitting die with the power of my own arms. THATS HOW STRONG I AM!

[@stevegardner9258]

Chuck Norris could shove it through with his pecker.

[@Brett1300]

pretty impressive way to go. I still do it the old fashioned way, and it sucks.

[@MreShoe]

Imagine if you miniaturized this, it could make awesome French fries.

[@silentcaos]

I see it is a easy job on the birch and poplar trees, how about oak and maple and other hardwoods.. or even that stringy wood like willow ?

[@GrimlyKK]

Excellent piece of kit.

[@johngalway78]

@MadGunnerMan I can't say for sure, but it looks to me the tumbling bin is there to separate kindling from the proper firewood. I often see small net bags of kindling for sale in petrol stations etc. They're separating all the products, sawdust, kindling, firewood.

[@helmut666kohl]

Haha I love how it poops out that sawdust @1:11 !

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

@UndaThaRug don't forget about bringing u a cold beer too!!! great add dude

[@ShredaSpud]

Coooooool.... Unfortunately, one would figure that music would have become more technologically advanced than what was used in this video.

[@tubester4567]

cool wood splitter bro

[@BKerryFTW]

@LEHIGHDRIVE I have used them. It is very real. The only thing this had even a small amount of trouble with was Osage Orange. And even with that, this machine handled it beautifully.

[@assmunch1]

I was looking for the part where it stacks it, and lugs it into the house!

[@TheWoodbutcher66]

Impressive machine!

[@HakmetForestry]

The unit itself has a grate after splitting so some of the debris falls before hitting the conveyor. You use the tumbler only if handling very dirty barky wood. HakmetForestry

[@TimothyEckelbarger]

Brilliantly Designed. Love it.

[@darrenthomson9071]

Wow .. Awesome Machine

[@HakmetForestry]

@cambriacity You replace the axe by lifting it by hand. Axes are available in 2/4-way, 2/6-way, 2/8-way and 12-way.

[@watao912]

The installation of the second splitting apparatus made for a rather climactic ending.

[@maksai8586]

Для дома мне кажется слишком шикарно :-)

[@bottwaandcalover]

Well that just takes all the fun out of it.

[@GuyPyro87]

lol, ya. The guy got back to me on it. He said - "The Palax Power100S is priced at 47,700.00 dollars and the live deck with chains is priced at 15,660.00 dollars." - So ya, a space shuttle would just about do it! XD Oh well. If I ever ran into some money, This would be at the top of my list of things to buy. I could sure as hell put it to good use up here. Make a shit load of money doin it too :)

[@asustech0079]

Just an average day at the wood factory.
