Some folks would consider that table extraneous (that means TOTALLY unnecessary!). When you have a good tractor, a big bucket, and up and down, in and out control of the wood rounds, why would you even want a table that's almost impossible to move to the right spot, that's always spilling wood to pick up off the ground from a difficult place, and ya gotta rake half the load out with a pickeroon. Just take it from the bucket, easy, peasy! That's just some folks' opinion, not mine, of course!

The reason why the conveyor belt is running off to one side is because of the frost on drive pulley or shaft. Tighten up on the high side.

At first empty and then try loaded.

You do not need longer knives, the problem is that the 8 way is about 6 inches or so behind the first vertical knife and the wood does not push through entirely. If they make the 8 way to sit next the first vertical knife, then your wood would split the full length.

Ajust the roller on the conveyor ,out of alignment

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I’m going to try that after I make a few modifications.

[@leonardryan8723]

Health , Rachel is hot stuff because she got her bare knees to the cold 🥶 weather buddy 😊.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Yeah, good thing we had the fire going!

[@rudalphtaylor6640]

Help her split the beech, Beach makes great firewood

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

We have it all split and seasoning.

[@GregTGolden]

Why not just fill the bucket and set it over top of the table? Then you can still grab the pieces out of the bucket, and use a pickaroon and spike the pieces when they are hard to reach (back row and the ends). Thats a sweet bucket for the job though. 2 rows deep, thats a lot of wood

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

With the width of the table and bucket together the pickaroon won’t reach that far. I’ve thought about trying to place the bucket to where it would gravity dump onto the table as it emptied but usually end up with a wood avalanche.

[@GregTGolden]

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors Yeah, i could see that. You definitely have a good setup going. But theres some room for improvement getting the bucked rounds on the splitter. Just a pain. Im working on a bucking table with an in feed conveyor to the splitter. So you set the log on the table, buck the rounds, then roll them off the back of the table onto a conveyor...then you can operate the conveyor with a foot pedal to feed into the splitter. I have the bucking table done, but will resume work on the conveyor portion in the spring. Too cold out now for metal fab for my liking.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

@@GregTGolden sounds like a nice set up. I’ve thought about an infeed conveyor.

[@AATreeService]

Heath is a good salesman. I ended up getting a bucket for myself after watching

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

@@AATreeService these huge buckets are awesome! You’ll love it.

[@johnwinslow4503]

You should ship Phil a bottle to try out, I am sure Karen would appreciate less disgruntlement from Phil.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

It’s honestly the most impressive lubricant I’ve ever used. I may just ship him a bottle! He could use a hand right now with his luck.

[@barrythompson4605]

Racheal, seems Heath is pretty bossy, and I can see it starting to irritate you,,,, lmao

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Hey now Barry! Lol thanks for watching.

[@c.jennings9520]

Heath the Best (Rachael take no offense to what I’m about to say) tool in your wood yard is your wife. She’s kicking butt and giving you the same…. LOL

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Oh for sure! She definitely helps increase production, and best of all makes it even more fun to be out there!

[@joecapo8292]

Good evening, I realize that your wife is splitting a very stringy wood species. There is a few times in your video, where the wood came close to hurting her. I am sure that you would not want to see that happen. Or to anyone else, your design has to be made safer. Just a thought, Joe Capo.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Pieces do fold back sometimes but not really a threat to injury. However I have talked to the owner of All Wood Log Splitters and he is going to try to build a wider wedge that will hold up to this machines power.

[@joeshaffer2506]

Beech is some nasty wood to split but all and all getting it done the Atwood seems to be handling it better take wife out to dinner cuz she’s not happy with that wood

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

For sure! This stuff was tough to split.

[@rubinvdkamp8240]

Mic s pleas to mono

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

We tried that and had people complain that it was in mono?? Do you listen with one ear bud or ear phone? Just curious why you prefer mono. We’re always learning.

[@andysen5192]

word of advice, dont stand in front next to conveyor to film... those wood pieces can fly out at extreme speeds and take your head nearly off.. seen it few time... when she was cutting the knotted pieces u can see the wood riding up... be very careful would hate to see a video of u in hospital or worse.. take care

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks, we’ve had a few go flying but we can usually foresee it coming as the pressure builds. Definitely something to keep in mind though.

[@mathewrainbow3318]

Saw is to rich if u listen to the vid. Need to lean it just a bit

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks, just had it ported. May lean it out a little here shortly.

[@firewoodathome]

What a pain.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I think we caused part of it with the 8 way. Probably would have done better with the 6 way on this.

[@philliphall5198]

Put the video down and you do it and let see her run it 😮

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I run it sometimes but she looks better doing it.

[@willglueck3156]

🏂☃👍

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Thanks Will.

[@enriquefonseca6154]

Miss Rachel why do you get mad at your man he knows more than you do

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

Sometimes I’d say it’s warranted.
