Dangerous Fastest Firewood Processing Machines, Amazing Homemade Wood Chipper Machine, Wood Splitter

[@samskeeter1]

Not all these machines are dangerous while some of them are suicidal.

[@spambedam]

Me too sam. Hard to believe how dangerous some of them are.

[@h-dinosaur-machine]

*Interesting point! do you tink the real danger lies in the machine itself or how it's operated?*

[@treegrower1]

The Farmi model at the end looks a suave machine! Best one there by a country mile, I like the single action of the ram where it not only pushes the log up but also splits the one before. Top job Farmi and they deserve to have their own channel. No dealer out here that I know of.

I’d love to see how these wood splitters would work on dry Australian hardwoods.

[@deadlion69price24]

Yep, I was thinking the exact same thing

[@trelisman1673]

Dry woods are very easy for hydrolic wood splitters..

[@paulveenings6861]

@@trelisman1673 I have a 20 ton hydraulic wood splitter with a single blade. It has a lot of trouble splitting dry York Gum and sometimes White Gum .

[@philliphall5198]

Try misquite wood 😊

[@sasquatchrosefarts]

You still have to use your brain and split with the pre-existing cracks and grain. But they're fine if you cut longer than 40cm

[@steveperry1344]

i enjoyed seeing the different machines. i burned wood to heat my house for about 20 years and did it all by hand with just a couple of chainsaws, splitting maul. axes, sledge hammer and a wedge sometimes. i didn't need a machine but i was only doing it for my own home. i used to get a lot of my wood when we would clear for our power lines at the light department i worked for and i would also buy a grapple load sometimes. i don't burn anymore, too much work, too messy and i'm too old.

[@johnwoody9505]

Hi Steve, we started burning wood to heat our house about 45 years ago like you using a chainsaw and a felling axe then a splitting maul, rarely a wedge and a sledge hammer. About 20 years ago I started working as a volunteer with our local council, I could then choose what wood we got, wood without knots and the best for burning. 4 years ago we invested in a quality log splitter, this machine has been a boon for us. I'm 78, not sure how much longer we will be able to make our own fire wood, bought in stuff is usually rubbish in our experience. Is that a kelpie at 2:56?? We had a kelpie rescue dog along with 7 other rescue dogs over the years, you cannot beat a kelpie. Of course I cannot be sure as we've had 9 different rescues nearly all different breeds except two German shepherds, only one kelpie, fantastic dog!!

[@steveperry1344]

@@johnwoody9505 yes, i rarely had to use the wedge and hammer unless it was some onery piece of wood. i would get a lot of maple, oak and ash from where i worked and when i did buy a grapple load i would request no junk and i would get some nice wood that was easy to work with. i gave away all my stoves and tools and now we just burn oil$$$.

[@robertbowman3406]

I would like to see this man using gloves that would protect his hands from all the wood slivers.

[@yt650]

I can’t get over the fact that most people who split firewood, pick it up off of the ground split it let it fall to the ground and then pick it up again. Once it comes up off the ground it shouldn’t go back down again, figure out a system.

[@urbanbengtsson2500]

You get warm many times that way !! 🔥

[@yt650]

@@urbanbengtsson2500 Yes, that does happen and it’s not important when you’re young. It does dawn on people once they mature. In my estimation based on life experience, people are under the impression that because they use wood for a heat source in many cases but not all, that it’s inexpensive and they are saving money . Even if you have a plot of land where you can harvest trees, nothing is free. Studies have been done to see if the effort and time spent in a different direction earning money would be better than everything involved with assuring yourself do you have enough wood for the winter. I’m quite aware of the fact that some people use it as supplemental heat or for a fireplace. That of course is a whole different set of circumstances and is not a money saver but probably enjoyable.

[@philliphall5198]

That’s what I see and my back says he’ll no so I would solve that problem in a heartbeat 😊

[@davidturner8689]

I'd love to see the risk assessment paperwork for using this machine.

[@donalfinn4205]

Who cares. He knows what he’s doing. Too many snowflakes about already.

[@davidturner8689]

Yeh.tell that to the chap with a lmb or two missing. The very fact that fewer limbs are lost shows risk assessments work. Who charges headlong into darkness without lights, just fools.

[@HexaFox]

@@davidturner8689 I agree that safety has to be a priority. I have seen a lot of things happen in during my relatively young 34 years here on Earth. I was running a conventional log splitter in the vertical position with my girl friend operating it recently. I was knelt down and I went to get up and slipped into the log splitter. I put my arm up to save myself and it was between the metal beams that knock the wood off and the wedge was on the way back. So if the wedge was closer, I could have gotten my arm stuck in it and I do not even want to guess what it would have done to my forearm. Part of it was awareness as well. I think safety is often overdone to demonstrate compliance but it does have a very important role with machinery.

that wood looks like it’s been drying for 3 years. I could probably use my hand to karate hop and I’d get the same results. No wonder it splits so easily. Do that with freshly cut wood and I’ll be impressed

[@glennhart8240]

[@c.danjou.1696]

Continuous splitting machines are criminals. That is the best way to lose fingers or even an arm. Not very bright.

[@eprn1n2]

You know this is a video about dangerous wood splitting machines? Pointing out how dangerous they are is a little redundant.

[@martymcmannis6581]

The same with a chop saw. Gotta pay attention aways. I knew a guy that chopped his thumb off after using the saw for 21years

[@c.danjou.1696]

@@eprn1n2 Every machine is dangerous, but if you pay attention to what I wrote, I said « Continuous splitting machine» is criminal. Though, it's not redundant, don't you agree ?

​@sevieballesteros8301one would have to be pretty stupid if one can't find a way to do both 😂

[@sasquatchrosefarts]

​@@c.danjou.1696wrong. Several of the machines with continuous rams don't even push to the wedge. Lots of guys lose fingers after they press a lever each time and it pushes to the wedge... And they have a finger in the way. Those machines are safer. Just don't wear baggy clothes.

Some safe and some dangerous. When hands are doing anything but holding down the go buttons, it's crazy dangerous and eventually someone gets a hand bitten.

[@longshooter457]

Anything you have to time your moves with is dangerous. The last one is my choice. Use a skid steer with a grapple to put 8' logs on powered rack and put a dump trailer under the chute and you could make a lot of fire wood in a short time. How big of logs can you use on that one?

[@KoTBHaType]

[@philliphall5198]

Most of these machines would not work at all on misquite wood, it’s very turf stuff but burns good 😊

[@watchthe1369]

I liked the setup at about 10:40 it had a screw cone to split down the stem wood which could then go through the spiral sheer with that splitting wedge built in. The ones that seem to use differentials reverse driven by the PTO off a tractor or electric motor are my favorite.

[@watchthe1369]

The one at 14:02 also gets my vote, never comes close enough to the anvil to pinch anything and slow moving enough to stop if something goes wrong. Reminds me of old locomotive wheels and driving rods.

[@russellkeeling4387]

None of the wood splitters shown in this video is strong enough to split the pinion wood I use. My wood splitter has a large diameter ram and is mounted on an 8 inch I beam which has bent because the pressure needed to split some pieces of pinion is so great.

Nothing particularly dangerous about those cone screw, or "unicorn" type splitters - they're just old technology. Gravely used to offer one of those log splitters to attach to their L series two-wheel tractors. They faded from use when the hydraulic units came around in the Seventies.

Some of these guys are not being careful during operation. Too much taken for granted. I worked with 90-ton punch presses years ago, and there's a point where you can get a little complacent and lose a finger or even a hand when not enough attention is paid. I'd have nightmares about losing a hand. Made me careful next morning.

Hydraulic splitters have always seemed overly complicated to me. I really like 2:40. 7:30 looks good too, but I wonder how long it stays sharp. 8:30 is wonderful with human power, though I think a counterweight would work better than a spring. Any machine can be dangerous. Common sense goes a long ways toward safe operation.
