Good to see the old woodyard once again!! The super splitter is so easy and consistent it is almost mesmerizing. I will be picking up my Ultratec trailer at the Bunyan show from Bob Nelson on Friday, enjoying the show on Saturday and leaving on Sunday. See you there!!

[@ohiowoodburner]

I will be looking for you Bill!!!

[@circlebmn]

I really like my Axis, but I do miss at times my SS with the electric motor. Split a fair bit indoors with it and the lack of noise was great.

[@ohiowoodburner]

One of the great things about the SS is how quiet it is. You can run it at low rpm much different than a hydro

[@peterh9927]

Hi Joe. That's the longest straightest apple log I've ever seen. I love my Super Split ! Couldn't produce the firewood my customers expect without it.

[@brandonhoad9033]

Here in WNY a long straight apple would be 4 maybe 5 chunks

[@ohiowoodburner]

I agree. It took me a while to confirm it as apple mostly bc of the straightness of the log

[@johnkirk3279]

If I had 1/10 of that wood I would be thrilled.. I absolutely love Apple wood. Just the best for Pork ribs and boneless pork butt.. Also works really nice with beef and chicken if you blend it in..

[@GregPrince-io1cb]

54°F and 97% humidity here south of Columbus, Ohio.... Beautiful September morning!! 84°F high tday... Have a great day folks!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Big temps coming in this week for Bunyan. Thanks for watching Greg!

[@michaelfreehling1914]

Thanks for the video Joe. It's fun reminiscing with old Super Split. Y'all have a great 👍 day

[@ohiowoodburner]

THanks mike. Love this machine!

[@jasonracette6143]

Hi Joe, when the Super Split is not able to split a log in one stroke, once the ram is retrieved, wait two or tree seconds for the flywheels to get back up to speed and you will only need to hit that log one more time. My father purchased a Super Split in the late 70's and had it for about 25 years before he sold it to another guy who processed firewood. What an awesome machine! Keep up the great work!

[@GregPrince-io1cb]

Apple, Pear, Cherry, all are just really aromatic to burn or smoke with!! Just don't see much of them

[@ohiowoodburner]

I have an abundance of cherry but never get apple

[@henryholliday1]

Cherry is very common around me on Long Island New York and being a suburban area I have gotten Apple and chestnut from my cousin who lives north of me and has an apple and chestnut tree in her yard

[@Adirondack_DFL]

I've never seen any fruit tree that tall and straight

[@ohiowoodburner]

I agree. It took me a while to confirm it.

[@Adirondack_DFL]

@@ohiowoodburner We did cut a large shad berry tree for a woodmizer sawmill guy to mill. He was trying to get every local species represented in his house. He found a large apple tree somewhere, but it was not a very long log.

[@davidhickenbottom6574]

My next log splitter for sure I live in Massachusetts so I can pick it up at the plant.

[@ohiowoodburner]

get it. you will love it dave!

[@googleboy7]

Hi, Milo, I've had my SuperSplit for 50 year's. Only changed my return spring and bearing once. Converted it to electric operation ten years ago. Nice and quiet. Shalom/gw

[@ohiowoodburner]

Nice to hear from you again. I was wondering where you went Yoyo

[@tymanthebuckeye719]

I’ll see ya at Bunyan Saturday Joe🍻👍😎

[@keithwhittington1322]

Epilogue of an apple log. Great turn of phrase!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Glad someone noticed! LOL. i couldn't wait to use that !!

[@famasmaster2000]

That super splitter keeps up so nice . I think I may have to look into one eventually. Good work Joe

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks 👍

[@CliffsideStables]

I certainly enjoy my SuperSplit HD. No more waiting on a hydraulic activated ram to cycle back. Tim in northern TN

[@famasmaster2000]

@CliffsideFarm so true, a real time saver

[@ronbrooks6681]

Joe, beautiful looking Apple Wood. I got some about 2years ago from my Neighbor down from me. The Tree uprooted so I got quite a bit. Burns excellent and Smells good. Enjoy and have Fun. Stay Hydrated and next week is the Paul Bunyan Show. I will tune in to wherever you are. Wish I could be there. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.

[@ohiowoodburner]

If i can get a signal I will ahve a live stream. Bad coverage around here.

[@peterwarnstrom8872]

I've only cut and split one apple tree that my neighbors wanted taken down. The grain on that tree was as twisted as elm. I was surprised when you ended up with what looked like rather straight grained pieces. The aroma was unmistakable though, it smelled just like apple cider. Awesome! As always great video Joe!

[@ohiowoodburner]

I agree. I have never seen one this straight. beautiful wood though

[@gusm5128]

You’ve got the chain on that thing sharp Joe ! Nice work .

[@ohiowoodburner]

LOL It was fresh out of the box!

[@davebloggs]

There is something nice about watching someone else splitting fire wood hahahah. many years ago we had about 2 acres of very large old apple trees to clear some of the trunks were a good 18 inches through, guess whos job it was to split all that lot by hand, took me years to do , but apple sure burns nice and it was free. I could only dream of a machine like that.

[@MrChina200]

Nice work Joe. keep on cutting man! Thank you from Australia.🎃

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks for watching! Mr C!

[@lanceharsh7025]

Sometimes the best tools are the one you have at hand vs. The perfect tool somewhere else. Yup the Perfect Split is still awesone and doing its job when needed. Keep on doing your thing. 🤠👍👍👍👍

[@ohiowoodburner]

thanks for watching lance!

[@leovogelgesang4398]

My super splitter did just what you said, it will completely change your firewood production. I can do about 3/4 cord an hour with mine, after i split the wood I throw it right into my drying rack! Don’t touch it again till i sell it.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Great machine For sure leo!!

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Hello Joe, Stihl waiting for my super splitter, they said delivery set at mid December , see ya soon🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

[@haroldanderson2781]

I promise you will love it!!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Great machine Larry!!!

[@elainereid5833]

Greetings Joe, Elaine from Canada here, nice to see you enjoying the fall weather, our cooler days & frosty nights are upon us. I had to engage my morning brain when I heard you say that later “We will give the epilogue of the apple log”. Ha ha ha! And yes, I will gladly say “ hello” to your little (red) friend. I always enjoy seeing you bring out the ol’ Super Split. It was showing off with those great camera angles! As a natural gas furnace user, I’m curious to know if you burned apple wood (or cherry) in your home boiler, would the aroma noticeably infuse into your house? Have a great week.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Ive never had it to burn Elaine. I have prob only had a few logs in my lifetime. Sold them to smokers

[@m9ovich785]

I was at a gas & Steam show a while back and a Guy used a Steam Engine to run a Super Split HAHAHAH It was geared to match the Original split time .... Burn all the Scrape while splitting... What a Concept...

[@henryknox1186]

That would be the biggest Apple tree I have ever seen.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Hard to tell. If not for the odor I would be scratching my head.

[@NeighborlyHomestead]

I am impressed with how well that saw cuts!

[@ohiowoodburner]

it is a great little saw. Taht apple was hard wood too

[@haroldanderson2781]

I love how you are not swaying us into buying a certain brand of PPE. 😎

[@InterestingEndeavors]

I think it's of the Non-E brand

[@ohiowoodburner]

har har!!!

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Good looking splits, Joe. Like others have said when we gey apple its twisted stuff and you got lucky with straight grain stuff. 😁👍

[@ohiowoodburner]

It was an outlier for apple for sure.

[@nickthrane4940]

Weather looks nice!

[@ohiowoodburner]

been having awesome weather lately Nick!

[@CBDabbs]

Apple is a superior smoking wood. Close to hickory but smoother. I pay a premium price for it.

[@ohiowoodburner]

it smells awesome for sure

[@Keith.Zielinski]

On our property we had an apple tree come down last year and the bundles have been a blessing!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Great to hear buddy. They can bring in more $$ for sure

[@Quietcornerfirewood]

i use the same ppe joe! if its sa loud saw i use the bluetooth earmuffs. when log splitting i rock the airpods.

[@RIMBAJATITVG]

Incredibly good wood splitting tool.

[@ohiowoodburner]

it is an amazing machine.

[@jonimiller3747]

That apple would sure flavor some good barbecue

[@jamesmckay9966]

IN THE OLD DAYS WHEN SAWYERS USED THE MISERY WHIP IE CROSS CUT SAW THEY CARRIED A SMALL BOTTLE OF KEROSENE WHICH WAS USED TO CUT THE PITCH FROM PINE. POARED DIRECTLY ON THE SAW WHEN IT STARTED TO STICK.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Interesting. I haven't ever split pine iwth this before

[@jimalspach8528]

Joe, if you have an exciting still picture and a caption that plays to the algorithm your subs will increase more rapidly. Search engine optimization is the algorithm's AI and it will bring you into the eye traffic of similarly interested viewing. Good to see the Super Split!

[@ohiowoodburner]

thanks for watching Jim!

[@rodneysweetnam8653]

Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. I'm always envious when I see you operating the Super Split as we can't get it over here. I'd be a customer for an electric model but all I can do is dream.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Sounds like a good reason to take a trip to Ohio!

[@jr-a-cat]

For Apple those are very strait . Drove by booth yard on Friday honked at you on 46 yard .Might see you down at the Paul Bunyan show if you are down there on Sat Oct 7

[@ohiowoodburner]

I will be there Saturday from 12-2 at the Japa tent

[@robertlivingstone3947]

great job joe good video

[@ohiowoodburner]

Glad you enjoyed it Bob!

[@richardbrowne1679]

Good Morning Joe: I like my battery powered chainsaw. I have an Echo. It’s great for the logs that need some love when they are at the Japa. I’m still using the SuperSplit for resplits and splitting logs that can’t be run through the Japa,

[@ohiowoodburner]

I do teh same thing when I have a stubborn log LOL. thanks Rich!

[@waynetharp]

The big Apple orchards in my area cut the trees down after so many years of productions. Maybe every 30 years ish... They do them in rotation so every 5 years they will cut a certain sections and replant.They always have apples this way. Anyhow...if you could contact orchards during cutting times. You could get semi loads of them! I have 2 in a yard to take down right now. Just waiting for the leaves to fall off and the frost to chase the bees away!🤠

[@ohiowoodburner]

bees love apples laying on the ground. Beware LOL!!!

[@rabbit7able792]

That apple looks nice. Over here I use gorse to start the fire...it burns as hot as charcoal and we have Hawthorn...what a fantastic wood, it burns slow, clean and hotter than oak and you don't need much in the box

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks for watching sir!

[@Holzplatz]

Hi Mr. Joe, I have seen on a different video that Someone equipped a super splitter with a 4-way wedge. As I do have a kinetic as well - do you have tried this?

[@nmancini]

Yes I missed seeing the super split!!!!

[@ohiowoodburner]

I will try to have more vids with it

[@jamespritchett1886]

It is pretty fast little joker. Smooth. Not very loud either

[@ohiowoodburner]

One of the benefits of kinetic is you don't have to run the engine a full rpm

[@dleland71]

[@ohiowoodburner]

I always accept compliments. Thanks sir!

[@rogerbelanger295]

Nice to reminisce with the old hits….old yard…old splitter…I usually never put on Ppe while using the battery saw in the yard.

Question for you sir. What length do you have marked on the measuring tape to account for the bar? I'd like to try that.

[@mjmtreeservicemaintenance2940]

For the longer logs?

[@ohiowoodburner]

not sure the exact mark. I worked a log thru the Japa and put a number of marks where the kerf was to help me minimize waste. I am not at my yard rn or I would go look. It depends on the gauge of your saw too

Might want to consider taking tree service wood if you can get apple or pear or pecan if any is up there. That stuff is worth it's weight in gold to guys that are into smoking

Are you going to chip it for smoking? Seems like the smoker ppl like it shorter. Log looked pretty dry. I've cut apple that you could wring the water out of

[@ohiowoodburner]

It had a rich odor to it for sure.

[@ewaschuk802]

Have you ever put beech with beech blight though the Super Split?

[@ohiowoodburner]

Yes split a lot of beech. Not sure what beech blight is. Thanks

[@ewaschuk802]

It’s a fungus. Causes the bark to look like a bad case of acne. But the wood fibers also become kinky and wavy. Very hard to split. I ask SS and had not tried it either.

[@drmautz]

Nice

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks for watching Mr Mautz

What happened to the cheap white battery saw you had?? First video i watched and have ever since and since started my own KZbin channel

[@ohiowoodburner]

I just used it yesterday on a tall shrub at my house. I keep it there. Still works fine. I did drop the battery and it seems to have affected its storage however

[@paulkavanagh5393]

Just be careful of the fingers Joe one wrong move and it would be curtains

[@ohiowoodburner]

Yep.

[@truthhurts8551]

I'm still not convinced that is apple. You cut 17 rounds without a much of a sign of a fork. At 16" long per round that puts the crown of the tree at least 22 ft off the ground. Grain is also way too straight to resemble any apple I've ever encountered. Barks too thin and smooth. All traits that are extremely rare in an apple tree. Thanks for letting me express my doubts.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I'm with you on most of these. If not for the odor I would agree with you. Perhaps its a type of crab apple or pear? Dunno.

[@gerardsevigny8697]

II split a lot of apple that doesn't look like apple to me?

Paint aline on your bar to measure sixteen inches. Seems like you hang onto the log too long as it gets split. And holding it in place on the round side instead of laying it flat side down. And I don't see the super splitter with honda engines now.
