Couple things, 1. Watch your hands on those smaller splits. Especially if the cuts aren't perfectly square. Let go and let the machine do its thing then grab the wood again. I smashed my finger like rachel did last year pretty good on Ken's machine at hope event. Just be careful as i know you are! 2. Second wheelbarrow for the slash you keep throwing on the ground. That will save you a step later. Me on blacktop i gotta sweep and shovel anyway, you really dont have the option to sweep up in gravel. 3. Im so freaking happy you got that machine, I almost bet you were doing cartwheels out back when you finally got it home and set up to use. Im thankful Andrew was able to make a few beans and still keep us both happy at the same time too. Very blessed is an understatement!! Stay safe, see ya soon!!!

Thank you so much Jack! We’re certainly both happy campers and part of Team Orange 🧡 and Blue 💙 I have a large blue tote on the ground for the slash. If the camera work was better you would have seen it. 😜

Thanks 👍 so much Tommy….! I am super stoked to have this machine in my life and little woodyard now. It will certainly help my productivity and the quality of my splits, which, as you know, are pretty damn good already! 😝 I will be 55 years old this summer and the wood is not getting any lighter, so having the log lift is a huge bonus!

We just ordered an Axis SHO . These reviews are well received and with Andrew's new shipping terms we couldn't pass up on a machine which will fill the gaps in our firewood production. Thanks for the review !
@kenskuts4 ай бұрын
Great to hear! Very wise choice….! Did you add the conveyor? I don’t have space for a conveyor nor a tractor to move IBC’s so I opted out! Are you located in NH…??? Thanks for watching and congrats on your purchase!! Hope you are subscribed to my channel also??

@@kenskuts Ken, no sir, we did not order the conveyor option but we did request the electric start. We fill trucks and have an extra 30 ft conveyor which we will pair up to this machine so a short conveyor doesn't fit our operation. Our main business is firewood and we use Multitek equipment for the bulk of our production including both of their screeners. The Axis will help us break down the large logs which I prefer not to push through the processor. We did sub your channel because we appreciate honesty over hype. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. We are located 20 miles west of Manchester, NH. Our YT Channel is NH Hbbyloggr if you are interested. Thank you, Bill Weigle

Congratulations on the Axis! I’ve had mine over a year in April. I just had to take down one of my pecan trees and was wondering about trying to make smoker wood. (They we’re planted and not normally around here so probably could have some demand) Nice video. Be careful if you try splitting beech- straight is great but crooked limb rounds I have launched 10 feet past the log lift.
@kenskuts6 ай бұрын
Thanks for all the comments Chris! I’m excited to join Team Orange and Blue…!! Where do you call home??? Definitely split that Pecan small for smoker wood…! I have plenty of experience with Beech on the Huskee. I have a pallet plus of large diameter Beech candy waiting for the AXIS. I will take your comments into consideration when I start busting them up! I don’t need to launch beech splits thru the neighbor’s PVC fence! I made all square cuts so I should be good 👍 to go!!

Brilliant well thought out machine. I bought an 18-ton slitter in UK and spent two days adapting it to one handed leaver operation and extending stroke on ram to achieve perfect split, has we are saddled with ludicrous unworkable saftey regulation, which verge on making operation dangerous
