Kinetic Log Splitter Forestwest 15 Ton - Assembly and Test Run Unboxing - BM11097

I Have Purchased a Forestwest 15ton Log Splitter BM11097. I plan on using this Log Splitter as part of my Firewood Processing set up. Its a Electric Log Splitter with a 2200 watt Electric motor. In this video i open the Box/ Pallet it came in, assemble the legs as it is the upgrade version and give it a test run with some Australian Hardwood, Easy splitting narrow-leaved peppermint (Eucalyptus radiata) and some Very hard splitting Plantation Bluegum (Eucalyptus Globulus).

Looks good, I like the look of the catch.

I have the 26T version which has proven to be excellent - it was very rarely unable to split anything we chucked at it - with 2 caveats... The mechanism that engages the rack and pinion to 'fire' the splitter 'head' failed after about 5T of logs due to a poorly designed component which suffered metal fatigue The fix was extremely easy (using a pair of sheep castration bands, funnily enough) and has worked fine for the last 2 years (and another 40T or so of logs) until a novice operator managed to burn the motor out. So, I'm looking for a new motor now. The amount of petrol we must have saved using this rather than the old hydraulic 3-point linkage-mounted thing that we used to use... And the electricity cost is is tiny by comparison.

Thats a nice splitter works well. I fancy i might put a brace between the front and back legs.

Hope you keep posting videos champ. I really like them and have been watching for, at least, over a year. But I think it is more. Hope everything is OK. From Tarlo, NSW

[@BigChungus-zg6zw]

Would love to hear if this thing is still banging out hits.

Hi how are you getting on with your Forestwest log splitter? I am very close to buying one but would like to hear of your experience before I go for it. Cheers and p.s loving your films! 👍

[@yacobshelelshaddai4543]

So satisfying lol

[@ete4445]

Good day, I know this is old but I tried to contact forestwest to see if the would ship to the US. Unfortunately everything here comparable is discontinued, not available etc. Would any of you know the answer to this. Cheers, Trent

The only thing I want for X-mas ..., is a kinetic log splitter. I hate hydraulic.

[@navaho5430]

Looks good hows it holding up, Im thinking of buying the same machine cheers.

[@davekana8388]

Liked and subscribed, interested in your Forestwest.

[@edburton5137]

I went on the sight and it will only split 16 in long logs. A lot of extra wood to process because of short length

[@ktriebol]

The ram appears to stop about one inch short of the tip of the splitter blade. Is there an adjustment to reduce this gap?

[@f.p.4557]

How is it resisting over the years ? How many cords of wood have you split with this thing before any maintenance ?

[@MichaelCoates]

Hi there, thanks for the video. I was wndering if there was any chance you could tell me what the longest size round you can split in this machine is? Looks like it works great

[@Indeewoods]

How is this splitter still holding up?

[@Frank-bh3cm]

Is this just for your own needs or do you sell firewood?

[@Zorbis1337]

How is it golding up? Im in the market for a splitter.

[@tankliyazici]

Price?

[@philipdove1705]

Would this work at 20 below?

[@dragontv_420]

Yes it does. It was -20 below today and my 18 ton forestwest gas kinteic splitted ran and split everything infront of it
