I was impressed with the splitter. I was even more impressed with your trailer, winch system and your tractor.

[@garyhodenius4209]

I have been a professional fabricator for many years and now work at a technical college helping students design and build a project in their senior year. Your trailer setup with a winch and even the tongs are fantastic-A+++.The setup is a real back saver! I say this politely 🙂your table is an accident waiting to happen. I hope you are wearing steel toe shoes at the very least.

When the ram stops before it is done splitting I just put a block of hardwood in and keep pushing until it pushes all the way through extending the ram a few inches. I have been using this 6.5 ton splitter for several years now, works great for my fire wood, now my nephew has a 37 ton splitter, I keep telling him it would probably split rocks LOL

[@jaimedpcaus1]

So if you had to buy it again now, would you buy the same one today? Thx.

[@bb1040]

@@jaimedpcaus1 I think I would, it has split a lot of firewood for me and so far no real problems, I use it all year, in the summers for splitting the rounds for firewood and in the garage in the winter for making them even smaller. I did put a foot switch on it so I could have one hand free to guide the logs through. I really do not need a 37 ton splitter like some use for commercial operations, those can split rocks. LOL

[@cmotto.1]

I'm at my desk job work right now watching your video and i cant wait to get home and get to work splittin😂

[@motomikebuilder]

Your system is Boss. I'm getting old, that lift and hand gripper work great.

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Neat trailer idea. I have the basically the same splitter. My is 5 ton. Yardworks brand. Looks exactly like yours, but a different colour. Every thing you’ve said about the splitter is true. I’ve had mine for 5 years and split 8 cords of hardwood with it each of those years. Great splitters. Have a great day.

[@sleto6542]

Great video. I have a boss 7 ton ans I'm very happy with it. I like your set up. That trailer is awesome.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Thanks! If you're interested, check out the archives and watch the build videos. Cheers

[@PainterD54]

You need to add another cross piece on the bottom of the wedge end of the splitter to stabilize it from tipping so bad. And adding a table after the wedge end of the splitter for the wood pieces to slide onto would make it so much easier.

[@Condor1970]

I bought the WEN without the stand, and just use an old heavy duty fold up 3'x6' conference table. That way, if the log falls, it just lands on the table.

[@ChattMOC]

Best tactics I've seen. You know what you are doing, thanks!

[@countrywoodproducts]

I actually watched this video because of the crane and winch you are using. I am often loading large oak rounds by hand. Some are too large for me to load alone so they sit there until I can get my log splitter out to the job site. Been considering the crane and winch on my other trailer for this.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

I have build series on the crane! Look through the video archives if you're interested.

[@countrywoodproducts]

@@OldSoulMillennial Cool. Thanks

[@johntarabocchia]

Nice log lifter and trailer combo.... you should do a video on your log lifter.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Thanks John, I made 4 videos about the build. Just scroll through my previous videos if interested. cheers

[@elis51501]

I just ordered a 6.5 ton splitter from Lowe’s, get it later this week can’t wait to try it out. I have no larger then 12” rounds so according to your example should work fine. Time to retire the Ax:)

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Nice. Just came back in from using the splitter in this video. Still going strong.

[@rottiejakeluke]

Do you have a video showing the build out of the firewood picke❤r upper? I would like to add one to my trailer. If you have a “bill of materials” that went into it, i would appreciate a copy. Thank you.

[@MustacheVerra]

The trick is to go around the knots. That's what gave you problems at the beginning. Also, these splitters badly need table extensions imo. I'd built a better table with an extension for outside and keep this table inside to make kindle wood in the winter. I like your trailer/arm/winch system a lot. Nice. Thanks for the video.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

I agree with everything you said. Going through the knot was semi intensional to demonstrate what this unit can and Can't do. Cheers

[@marvinremster]

Enjoyed the video.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Awesome, thank you!

[@stevepatch1809]

For the bigger rounds I take my saw and score the end, seems to work great

[@OldSoulMillennial]

That's an idea. When the rounds get too large for me, I just rip them in half with the saw. Dulls the chain quickly though.

[@jaimedpcaus1]

Hi, Great video. What made you get this wood splitter vs the others listed on Amazon? Was there anything in particular about this one? Thx.

[@Jumphouse2]

Nice.

[@coyote2427]

Nice video,whats the length of the logs.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

16"

[@12Radius]

I use a hammer to knock off the log when it gets stuck.

[@OldSoulMillennial]

I started using the back of a hatchet. Works well, thanks for the tip

[@12Radius]

@@OldSoulMillennial Yes true!

That oak looks too good for firewood. I would have sold it for furniture.

check the price of heating fuel.

[@yarnybart5911]

Great video, awful music lol

[@OldSoulMillennial]

Yea... I tend to agree. Sounded good with initial editing, but now it's obnoxious.

Great vid thanks, I have a little seven ton and man it is impressive

[@OldSoulMillennial]

What?

[@426superbee4]

Your splitter stand is TRASHY. I made one out of concert blocks. stack 2 high 4 in the back and 4 in the front. Made a Nice sturdy log splitter stand. I do like your lift and trailer system 👍👍

[@OldSoulMillennial]

The stand does wobble some, can get annoying but it works.

[@426superbee4]

@@OldSoulMillennial That is Dangerous bro. Make one out of 8 concert blocks You can liquid nail them togather or just stack them like i did. I hate to see ya get hurt from that trashy stand

[@schlomoshekelstein908]

oak splits much easier wet, idk if this is actually a true test. try that shit dry lol

[@OldSoulMillennial]

If only I could get a year ahead in my firewood supply! I tell you though, wet oak is some stringy stuff
