Log Splitter built to Lloyd Nott tough standards. How to split wood

[@phill903]

That's a nice wood splitter you made, fast hydraulics!! *****

[@Micaville_Mountain_Man]

make more of theese vids man

[@L3g4cyTT]

you sure made light work of that job

[@northstar2007]

Nice Job with the splitter, Surprising how big of a log that thing can do

[@landykid60]

stron splitter,, great

[@DedHedEddie]

I like it, and would add these modifications; add a 18" x 30" or so table up above your left leg, by 'wedge', to keep the splits from falling on yur toes.... or steel toed boots, for sure. lol. Hmmm...Ok, maybe this. Mount the whole contraption in an old 7' bed/trailer outta a Chevy or Ford. No need to pick up the split pieces twice and move them to the main woodpile. Unless you got kids and a wheelbarrow who can do it. hahaha. Yeah, I'll have a beer. Nice and warm in there? burp......

[@kitfoxflyer]

@av8r3400 - just in from splitting 6 face cord of sugar maple. snowed about 10 inches while i was doing it ....... Hope to get movie up soon but i gotta crash-- snowplowing in a few hours

[@av8r3400]

Cutting and splitting is the fun part, now you gotta stack all that wood to dry! That's the part I hate. I only burn 3-4 full cord per year to take the sting off the LP bill.

[@seawind0721]

Beats the daylights out of swinging a splitting maul all afternoon, eh?

[@scotts01Z71]

What Is the length of your I beam? Im looking for a starting point. Very well built machine.

[@kitfoxflyer]

@kennyplay -wrong again, that was a demonstration on how to remove a stuck block from splitter. Why would it wreak acoupler ? Relief valve goes off. Maybe you could show me how you do it : ? That pump has split over 3000 cord of wood and on 2 nd coupler ......... hmmmmmmm

[@tigger19963]

@kennyplay to prove to you can cut it across the grain ? btw great video!

[@FelixTheHouseFreak]

Great to watch and listen to those things split!

[@kitfoxflyer]

@cubcadetpuller -- yup i know what you mean

[@kitfoxflyer]

who the heck needs one of those things.

[@bluebird9894]

that thing is wicked,,,powerful,,and fast,,good job,,hummmm I think i should upgrade mine to gas powered..

[@rollandelliott]

that looks totally unsafe, but very cool, thanks

[@tk429]

What kind of pump is it? I've considered something like this with a small engine. I've wondered of a truck power steering pump would be enough.

[@kitfoxflyer]

@kennyplay --- To show the power to the naysayers.

[@scotts01Z71]

@kitfoxflyer Actually Its H beaM not H bean. Haha! Ok thank you for the Input on the length of the beam. Once again you have a very well built machine.

[@geraldc3654]

like your splitter, wedge is better than mine will upgrade, an electric winch on a boom will allow you to lift for many more years, a table to your left for wood to be on while splitting will help you also and a table under wood while splitting which moves with pusher works great

[@lmarsengill]

Beast of a splitter....best I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

[@smashthemachine3746]

Men like you are great to be around, so inventive, witty and smart. I grew up in that environment, I know real when I see it. Cheers

[@kitfoxflyer]

@rhettcale [[ just make sure you don't get the chain caught between pusher and front of cylinder -- ouch

[@kitfoxflyer]

@kennyplay -what would get ruined ? The wood or the splitteR? splitter won't get hurt -- don't worry -- I will do some 3 and 4 foot diameter block for you soon :)

[@kitfoxflyer]

yes -- it works well for us

[@kitfoxflyer]

@TheHondaAbuser -- We use an axe at our camp. 36 " diameter Hemlock and birch. I will do some vid soon splitting 24 to 48 " blocks. some real knarly stuff. Axe -- no thanks. I burn about 25 face cord a winter.......... heat all my water with wood -- oil bill = zero

[@kitfoxflyer]

@timgowd -- don't waste your time with a power steering pump. Get a 2 stage hydraulic pump --

[@kitfoxflyer]

@bocco49 lemme know

[@michaelfarm]

You're making ME nervous and I'm 50 miles away! haha.

[@landykid60]

i have been looking at splitters for years,, and that's the best one I seen yet,,, great job,,

[@MrThisIsMeToo]

@kitfoxflyer Men who do not need to rely on others for their basic needs, need thee things. What are you?

[@kennyplay2301]

obviously @ 4:40 you stopped trying to force it through, because it couldn't. And yes, it could perhaps ruin the spider cuppler bushing, hoses or linkage. The point I was making it to average person that sending a log in sideways, against the grain is not a good thing. Say what you will, but it's not good.

[@JohnyAngelo]

Its interesting you all make those splitters gas powered.

[@kitfoxflyer]

Keeps my wood split i got about 40 cord of un split block up t 4 foot diameter waiting to slpit

[@kike4353ttdg3]

muy buena ,la que hice yo es mas fuerte mirala

[@kitfoxflyer]

to pull a stuck bloack off the splitter I think is have it on one of my vids. Hope you enjoyed Thank you

[@pedroromero3691]

hola,me podrias pasar los datos tecnicos? muy buena tu maquina!! exelente! felicitaciones,lo que preciso saber mas es la carrera del cilindro empujando y el tiempo en que avamza y retrocede,gracias! saludos desde argentina!

[@bagerbuch]

@kitfoxflyer me to,, how many fingers do you have left? hahaha

[@kitfoxflyer]

might do a diesel one one day.

[@bocco49]

hey lyord can you build me one

[@tk429]

@kitfoxflyer Cool, I've got no experience with hydraulics, so I wasn't sure.

[@boyceful]

Awesum splitter, ate those knots up with no worries....

[@kitfoxflyer]

It works well Thx for comments

[@kennyplay2301]

why would you put the log in sideways? at 4:40 ???

[@kitfoxflyer]

@XtremeRednek -- is it fast ? what diameter cylinder? Do some vids will yah ?

[@kennyplay2301]

you have a question mark? to show it can cut across the grain? well, actually it didn't. @ 4:40... Not to say at all that the splitter is not good, it is great! but I was saying that, forcing a log sideways against the grain could probably ruin it and consided to most, not a good thing to do... ps- i cut and split wood myself, so I am not just anybody commenting

[@MrLeonard55]

Where's the catch table?

[@kitfoxflyer]

how is your powered? Thanks for comments gonna go split some wood today

[@kitfoxflyer]

I would have to measure it , Likely about 7 or 8 feet. It is H bean not I beam. Makes it better for sliders. PM me and I get you my email

[@coupescuts]

I love looking at rusty old pieces of crap that still work. This is great! Thanks for the comment.

[@bluebird9894]

powered by a 120v motor,,just plug it in and go,,,think its a 1 1/2 HP,, gona up grade later to a 3 or 4 hp to lose the gear reduction to help the speed

[@TheToyotaAbuser]

whats wrong with an axe?

[@vasillis]

That beast is some workhorse, I want to build one - where do I start?

[@kitfoxflyer]

GOt a new engine on it now 20% more power Woo Hooo

[@федорчикиров]

отлично работает

[@journeytheoutdoors]

2 people dont think their gas bill is high enough

[@kitfoxflyer]

keeps on ticking !!

[@kitfoxflyer]

@michaelfarm ahhahahha

[@michaeld6779]

what kind of wood ???

[@kitfoxflyer]

I think bitternut hickory

[@michaeld6779]

Cool... Watching some of your videos right now.. Mostly the wood collecting and splitting.... Stay safe...

[@kitfoxflyer]

Thx and hope you enjoy

[@walterrodler1142]

This splitter is like all others, they have a wedge and need a lot of power and hands on the log. I have totally engineered a new splitting system that uses less power and limited hands and NO WEDGE.!!! That's just one part of my vast changes to log splitters. How about rough terrain ATV ,have one proto typed as well.

[@kitfoxflyer]

nice -- I have seen similar in the past . works well. expensive skid steer versus 500 $ in my splitter.

[@johnwow2646]

love that splitter! what would it cost to build it today? Thanks!

[@rogmarcot8800]

Bhahahahaa

[@kalzx9432]

My log splitter has a ford 351 in it!! It was a pr

[@kalzx9432]
