I don't know how I made my way to watch your firewood splitting videos. Now I am hooked up with it. I love to watch you splitting smaller splits with your super splitter. we don't split firewood with machines, mauls and axes are the things used out here in our region as I am from a corner of North East India called Nagaland. Keep it up 👍👏

I usually have the machine exiting right into the trailer but I had the set up slightly different simply because we were filming. The camera girl needed to move around the front of the machine to get better views. Joe

[@dabprod]

I'm going to have to get me one of these. Like you I have a good hydraulic splitter but boy, that Super Splitter looks GREAT.

[@aldiminico6513]

I like the thinner wedge on the Super Splitter. It makes for cleaner and neater cuts.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I agree Al. I think it makes the splitting action faster and more efficient. When you split smaller diameter rounds you can keep it whole after it is first split, pull it back, rotate, and have it quartered in no time. Joe

[@PieterLeenhouts]

We've been using a kinetik log splitter like this one for years. Absolutely great. I will say that my father had to live with only 7 fingers for the last 20 years of his life. He lost the three using this machine. The new machines come with dual switch controls for just this reason. it's slower to operate but certainly safer.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I had to give her hazard pay for this filming! LOL. Joe

[@able880]

To the average person you made it seem so simple as you split wood but sometimes those logs come apart with explosive force- in my case there are thousands of gum trees around and it's considered trash wood- if you split it when it's green it's real stringy - so I split it when it's dry and when they split they often split at explosive force - LOL- but at times any log will split explosive force in fly in every direction - so your wife deserved that hazardous pay lol

Great video. That rail was getting gummed up. Ash is bad for gumming up the blades on our sawmill as well. You wouldn't think so, considering its so dry, but it does.

[@ohiowoodburner]

The SS works best in dry conditions. In this case we had a lot of snow that had just melted and there was moisture in the bark. Also I had bucked these logs in the rain and that caused a lot of the chips to stick to the bark...not to mention the lichen that was on many of the logs. I had to scrape more than normal. I have started to use random scraps to scrape the crud off since this will not scratch the beam like a metal scraper etc would. Joe

Even if you are not a business, it’s amazing what family and friends go through when having a fire. In the fireplace, outside (especially outside) this is a lot of wood split perfectly in barely 25 minutes !! You can basically filll that trailer in 1.5 to 2 hours and there’s enough wood for a week or two of camp fires. Nice! I have been watching the automated systems where you can split the whole log in 4 or 6 pieces all at once but that system produces some pretty rough firewood. This, you have control to make whatever size of wood you want from each log. They don’t always split into 6 perfect pieces!! 😂😂. I have been using a cheap splitter that’s much slower than this and with the machine I have, you yearn for the automated machines. I would have split 1/2 of what you did in under 25 minutes. You can see where I would have to work for 3+ hours to fill that trailer, I think actually between 4 - 5 hours. I think my dump trailer is about the same size of yours. (Perspective is funny through the camera, for me anyway. Thanks for sharing! Suddenly the video was done!! Kind of mesmerizing. I can see where it’s much more fun with an appropriately fast machine!

Had to go back to your earlier days and watch you split some good looking wood without the box wedge blemishes.

Gonna order my SS in 2023 and get going on my inventory for sale. Going with the HD model and the Honda engine that I will replace with electric when I get my barn built. Question Sir: have you found a better way to keep the build up off the beam that a piece of wood? Maybe a metal spatula or some other method? Reno

Hi Joe - hope you and your family had a nice Christmas! Just curious about how much wood you split in this video - a Rick? Or ?? Thanks for the great content -

Thanks Lucius and I wish the same for you. This was slilghtly more than 1/3rd cord, or a rick, or a face cord lol. Whichever you prefer.

You are very welcome Hordenlite. It seems everytime I set aside a dedicated scraper I can't find it! I just learned to use a scrap of wood with a sharp edge. It works pretty good and doesn't scratch the beam. Joe

Hello From Chicago! How bout giving that bar a good cleaning and then using some type of lubricant before and during the splitting?

For premium firewood this seems to be the machine for the job. I know you've mentioned the increasing need for a commercial splitter with a log lift, which would compliment your existing equipment well. Have you thought about a machine with a box wedge? I know they produce more waste than a 4 way, but no resplitting.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I am unsure about the box wedge Jason. Sometimes I like them, sometimes I don't. I would have to spend the day with one probably to make sure I find them fun to run. I am still looking for a commercial splitter however. This Super Splitter is awesome but I still need something a little more stout, that can pick logs up etc. Joe

[@jasone9]

I have some reservation with the box wedge too as sometimes it appears to really tear the wood up, I'm guessing it depends on the species being split. I like that once it's on the splitter it seems like much less wrestling the round around.

Good point. I have noticed that I am not drinking enough water sometimes. Can you believe how far we have come in the the field of performance improvement? Football coaches used to deny water to their players to toughen them up. UGH. Joe

[@able880]

I know this from hard physical labor in the offshore oilfield - as we sweat we lose a lot of the minerals our bodies need to properly function also Studies have been done on people that live in the deserts of the world they constantly add natural salt or mineral salt to the water as they drink throughout the day they shake the water up or stir It before they drink it- that creates a negative charge to the water and minerals when they do that and our bodies really absorb the water in that state- in the oilfield we made it mandatory that the crews take salt tablets throughout the day it was to prevent them from having Strokes - also to maintain their energy level through a 12 and 16 hour day of exertion- it was just figured in that they would eat about 5 lb of uncooked beef every 6 hours they serve food every 6 hours 24 / 7 - it took that much beef to maintain their energy levels through the day- so when you're working like that if you find that you get real hungry- if you add a lot of beef to your meals that will quench that hunger- if the crews did not get the beef necessary they would not be as productive as they were- you can eat a lot of soft scrambled or soft boiled eggs and they will accomplish the same thing as beef

[@able880]

When Hurricane Katrina hit down here in the south we all got out on the roads and started clearing all the trees off the roads- it wasn't very long and many begin to tire out - in the oilfield vegans would come out there and they quickly found out that a vegan diet just won't work where a lot of energy is required - it was the same after Katrina many found out that beans and rice just won't cut it when you need a lot of energy beef and eggs have a lot of protein in them when I mentioned 5 lb of uncooked beef it's only about 2 lb once it's cooked but either way when you're exerting yourself our bodies require a lot of protein in the form of meat or eggs if you cook eggs at high temperatures it destroys the protein and low protein value

[@TheUserid82]

If you offered kindling to the small amount customers would it be better bound in twine/jute or packed into a paper lunch bag? An easy way to turn the slivers of wood created in the splitting process into something you can sell/give away as added value to the product by less labor/materials they need to create/buy from others.

Hi Andrew. I do indeed sell kindling in burlap bags. I have a video of my process I made earlier in the summer. My kindling is all 10" long and dry.

Hi Matt - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. Joe had mentioned in a previous video that he has the standard SuperSplit so his engine would be the Honda GX160, which is 160cc and is rated at 5.5bhp. The heavy duty model has the GX200 producing 6.5bhp. The precise rating is on the pull cord casing but I couldn't make it out when the camera panned across the engine.

[@rodneysweetnam8653]

Hi Joe - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. You certainly got a wonderful Dec day there, its damp and slushy here today. A couple of ideas for dealing with the resin build up on the plate. Have you thought of using a gas soaked rag, which you could keep in a sealed container like a Tuppaware item, to clean the plate regularly. Alternatively use a spray brake cleaner and rag. Also, how about using a plastic windscreen scraper to remove that pesky resin, that wouldn't damage the plate.

[@ohiowoodburner]

I hit the bearings with a heavy spray lube about every 2 hours and I use that on the gunk which seems to loosen it good for removal. I used to have a plastic scraper dedicated for the Super Splitter but I could count on never being able to find it LOL. I just now find a shard of wood with a nice edge and it seems to do the job.

It really flies on about a 10" log. You can have it quartered quick. Joe

[@Izuksvids]

Nice! That super splitter sure is fast!, which one is it? 22ton?

[@ohiowoodburner]

I'm not sure what the rating is on it but this is the J model. Great machine. Highly recommended. Joe

[@Izuksvids]

Joe, Also, wanted to offer, if you need a moderator for the live feed feel free to add me, I'd be happy to help!

[@richardbrowne1679]

I like the Super Split- Very simple. Which model is it?

[@ohiowoodburner]

It is the J Model Richard. Great machine. Joe

How do you like that log splitter? Any issues with the flywheel? I’m here in NE OH also.

[@ohiowoodburner]

This is a dynamite machine. Love it. For its cost you can't get more production. Joe

[@dalehammonds9494]

Like that super splitter we're did you get it?

[@ohiowoodburner]

I had it mailed right to my door. It is made in Boston. www.supersplit.com

Did I miss which model SS you are using? Original vs HD vs SE?

[@ohiowoodburner]

Hi Justin. My SS is the J model. IMO that is all you need. Joe

Nice to meet you Dave! Joe from NEO!

Seems the wood is being split kind of small. is it for a restaurant ?.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Mostly yes. Still I have learned the smaller the split the more $ the wood is worth. Joe

[@rnilazarev2553]

[@jakeschisler7525]

Could you wax that beam? I think I have about 5 cords of wood, which I use to just give it away. It's all Live Oak from trees I either cut down or was piled up. A few big stumps were left in the yard so took some time to whittle down. We only burn if we cook food over a fire pit.

[@ohiowoodburner]

The manuf said not to treat the beam with anything. Not sure why...I keep it scraped and that seems to work. Running it in wet weather makes the gum build up quick. Joe

[@jeffkuivanen3487]

Try putting on some bees wax on your beam. I use it all the time on my woodworking equipment. It might work for you.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Thanks for the tip Jeff I'm not sure how long it would last but it may work. There is a decent amount of pressure the top bearing pushes onto the beam. Not sure if it would squeeze it out or not. One way to find out! Joe

Joe I have a puddy knife on a string , always ready to grab.

[@andyd9199]

not bad. i still prefer timberwolf with four or six way head or better yet rent a dyna

[@ohiowoodburner]

I like all of those too. The Super Splitter has them all beat on price. My limitation is what I can pick up to the table. That is why I am looking for a commercial splitter. Joe

[@jr-a-cat]

Nice weather on your side of the lake . I can't stand when the saw dust sticks to the wood ,you ,equipment .Its like eating Cheetos and getting that cheese powder all over you .Love the speed of the machine

[@ohiowoodburner]

It doesn't look like this outside today JR. It is deep snow! Joe

[@frankhampton1837]

Can I buy one at home Dop

[@Frankzeien]

Can I suggest something? After you split the first one in half, put them back together and turn it over so that way your not doing double-the work if that makes any sense. That’s what I do and man it goes so much faster that way. Well for me any way.

[@ohiowoodburner]

Hi Frank. I do indeed to that with the smaller logs. These were a little to big in diameter and the top half would not have hit the wedge. When I have a bunch of 8" size rounds I can have that log quartered in no time. This machine is great to have! Joe

[@jolkraeremeark6949]

Are you still splitting with this machine, sir?

[@jamesmckay9966]

Where did you find such a Pretty Camera Person?

[@able880]

[@j.c.isking2165]

Nice machine but that repetitive clanking noise is very annoying and likely even MORE so to any nearby neighbors. I wonder if insulating the noise with some padding adhered to that cover would make a noticeable difference?

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Fast splitter, can it handle a 4 way? 👍🏼🇱🇷

[@ohiowoodburner]

It probably could Larry but I have concluded a 4 way would be less efficient. That would waste wood bc it would not be adjustable. The nice thing with this is you can pick and choose the quality of split. Joe

[@iceflameproductionz]

@@ohiowoodburner I have seen a fellow on youtube add an additional flywheel and relocate the engine on his super splitter. he then welded up a 4 way that simply slides over the main wedge. It looks like an absolute monster. and it seems quick to slide off the 4 way when you want to do precise cuts. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIvYqmOGrsR0kMU&ab_channel=cucvs

[@ohiowoodburner]

@@iceflameproductionz That thing looks cool. The Super Splitter has a cult following and there are a number of people who are modding them like a 350 chevy lol. The thing that I have seen that looks really cool is putting UHMWP to the production table making it very slippery and tough. Speeds up the logs sliding them into place. Joe
