KINETIC type LOG Splitter Maintenance | Belts Oil & Adjustments | DR RapidFire K34 Pro XL

[@timcuculic]

Great video! I'll be doing all this maintenance on my DR Power K22 this weekend. Very helpful! Thanks!

Thanks for you insightful video. Very well explained. I currently do not have a wood splitter, but I have decided to try and get the K34. Looks to be a better option than a hydraulic one. Thanks again. Johnny

I have the same model...and have split dozens of cords of wood...but my unit just started having the ram get stuck and chatter with the rack gear/ spindle gear. It looks like there is to much clearance/play between the bearing roller at the bottom of the engagement handle and the top of the rack gear. Im gonna try to fix this issue by purchainsg a piece of 2 ft long, by 2 inch wide by 1/16" thick steel...and weld it to the top of 2 ft rack....hopefully this eliminates the slop/ clearance that is causing the chatter .

While this is the best maintenance video I have seen, it would have helped me more if you slowed down when you did the removal of the belt etc.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks for the feedback ill keep it in mind!

[@davehimlin2374]

are you still using this and if so, have you had to replace any expensive parts. Ty

[@JohnFrancoNH]

yes i am. No expensive parts have broken or worn. I did replace the 2 belts just for peace of mind thats it.

[@JohnFrancoNH]
