I think I know of a better log splitter you could get. Buy a used Multipress industrial hydraulic press. They're cheap used. Then modify it to cut wood. You'll need a power converter to get 3-phase power but it'll be more robust than the one in this video and it can be used for other things with minimal modification.

@whalerlife53 Жыл бұрын
That is by far the best design for most people. The only issue I have with what I see is the table height is too low. It needs to be raised up to help prevent your hands and arms from naturally being at the top of the round when the cylinder is moving. Me being 6’4”, that’s even a bigger concern. As I watch you split, your arms and hands are constantly in the most dangerous area, which is at the top of the wood being split. If the table is raised up to where your natural tendency is to grab the wood in the middle it would be much safer to use. Just my opinion and observation. Maybe that’s something that could be adjusted for when ordering one, but probably not. Definitely looks like a well made unit and simple. Congrats

It's a function of height and stability. If you go too high it becomes unstable because you're adding to the size of the log lift (so it still reaches the ground) They made mine 30" high instead of the stock 27" and I'm 6'....it's fine, not hunched over at all.

My only negative I see with this splitter is the cost. As you said it's very simple in design and function. So my question is why over $9000.00 dollars for something that is very basic. I understand it's built beefy and strong but that can't justify that kind of cost in my opinion. Sorry for the negativity and I think it's a great splitter but I really think they could do better on the cost since I'm sure the markup is very high.

I agree on your observations.. I love the design and simplicity of it. The table should be taller off the ground, 30 to 32" sounds about right for the table height. You could probably make the height adjustable but that adds a lot of complexity unless you just raise the whole thing from the axle. I've been looking for a great design to build for myself and this one fits the bill nicely. I have a one man fabrication shop... I can definitely build this just from looking at the pictures. Your probably looking at close to $4000 in materials at "one off" prices, for the quality of materials and hydraulics put into this thing. If one had the inclination to shop around and perhaps use some lesser quality but equally capable parts, the materials could probably had for around $2000, which is the route I'd probably take. There's quite a bit of labor involved, but if one is doing it as a labor of love and a fun project who cares.

I got to say the fit and finish is a cut above.great for full load or picking that one log u want.ya don't see many vidjas on Fransgard the 950 is for a t574 size machine. the 1400 is for 75-130 hp tractor or skid. the smaller one is way beefier than frostbite.MADE BY VIKINGS I think jswoodhouse or Cummings&Bricker dealers

I am an Industrial Engineer Consultant, still working at 88. My wood splitter is 50 years old. It has a 5 inch Cat cylinder with a HD rod and 3 foot stroke. I replaced the 12 hp Briggs with a Duromax with starter. The gear pump is hooked to a jack shaft with a 4;1 ratio. Hydraulic pumps do not word well over 1200 rpm unless supercharged. The wedge is at the far end and the platen is on the cylinder rod. This means the twist from the wood grain reacts to the frame and not the cylinder. Plus, it is self cleaning. I like your Power Split vertical concept. My experience is to use gravity. You should only have to lift the round once and everything else should be down hill. Having an input and out put table is a plus. It agrees with the many metal fabrication plants I have worked with. My position when splitting is sitting on a cushion and I can roll my rounds (up to 3 foot fir)into the jaws using my shoulders and knees instead of my back. Plus there is storage on input and output which reduces the amount of getting up and handling the wood. A big issue is SAFETY. You are dealing with a force and machine that can easily cut off a finger, arm, leg or a body in two without any warning. The vertical work is concentrated directly in front of the operator who positions the block and initiates the cutting without interference from helpers. The operation configuration is both safer and productive. I agree with your intuition that a smaller machine from a builder of large is better than the reverse. Probably why I believe; Get Smart , Get Trump, he has been dealing with world trade for years. Iguana

A lot of comments about the table height. Can you address that in an upcoming video? Also, what is the height of that table? It looks like you had a slight slouch, and I just think of how much my back would hurt (I’m over 6’3”). I don’t comment much, but do watch almost all of the videos. Congrats on the 100k mark.

Nice splitter Brock. Looks pretty solid, efficient and easy to use.
