SPLITFORCE 11/16t. Amazing log splitter!

[@thelankylogger]

Interesting splitter. I like the simplicity of it. Self propelled is the way to go with a machine that size. I like it!

[@thelogfather5002]

Definitely simple! Like me! 😂

[@Shawn_Richards]

Glad to see Empire has finally gotten with you and sent you a Splitforce to use. They truly are a great all-in-one machine. I've often thought that it would be a good match for you, simply for its ease of mobility around your wood yard. You'll have your upper wood yard cleaned up in no time! Looking forward to future videos with the Splitforce. Keep up the great work, Jeff. 👍🏼

[@smorefirewood]

That are pretty clever little splitters.

[@thelogfather5002]

It’s super simple. I could easily build one…

[@smorefirewood]

@@thelogfather5002 I mean heck if I can you surely could.

[@Ridgewood460]

Hi, nice to see you got a vertical splitter…. You’re going to love it. You will have a hard time going back to the old splitter. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

[@dereksstuff8395]

Love that machine. Easy to move and has an elevator..... fantastic idea.

[@yvesjolicoeur747]

reaaaalllllly nice machine. It will be awesome to use to clean up those oversized rounds

[@TommyUhlman]

That ls the sports car of wood splitters.

[@bwillan]

A commercial vertical splitter is certainly the way to go for a solo firewood operation. The SplitForce is unique in that you can drive it to your logs. The one thing I noticed while you were running it, those rounds that had angled cuts slipped when the wedge was coming down. Having perfectly flat and square cut ends on the round would be much more effective for this splitter.

[@thelogfather5002]

I think the rounds in my wood yard will be much better. These ones were trash from around my mill. Not a real good test.

[@MrBuckAll]

Way to go! Its the Quality control that these machines offer that makes the difference for customers👍🏼

[@CountryLivingWithTheHarnishs]

great job Jeff you are doing you tube l dont have time to make lt

[@thelogfather5002]

Make time for what’s important- we’re not getting any younger.

[@Treestofirewood]

I’ve always wanted to try one of those machines. Always need a splitter no matter what. Not everything can be sent through the processor.

[@thelogfather5002]

I’ve got a great wood supplier. They can usually filter out the oversized wood before it lands here. Less than 5% now won’t go though my processor.

[@Treestofirewood]

@@thelogfather5002 that’s key when they can really get you what you really want. I usually get what I want but you know how that goes. They try to sneak in a few from time to time. But it all burns. Just a little messing around sometimes.

[@OpenAirAdventure]

They are a cool splitter. Little green buster.

[@HuckThis1971]

Made in Blainville QC. Just north shy of Montreal. Seen many videos of this splitter.

[@902hand7]

Pretty handy machine & cool that you can drive it to the wood pile👍👍. Would probably make more sense if you didn't have the processor as you likely wouldn't get enough oversized logs to justify the the cost...

[@aldredske6197]

Hi Jeff!!😀😀 The split force is one hell of a great splitter. I have only heard one complaint about them and that's that the petal is a little too high and your legs gets tired because of having to lift it up all the time. That's were the Eastonmade Axis petal is only a couple inches off the ground and all you have to do is tip your toe up onto it. Other than for that they are a fabulous machine. Looking forward to seeing you run it more. Bad thing is they are pretty spendy if you aren't using it almost every day. Take care my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al

[@WoodchuckCanuck]

There's an adjustment on the Split Force that will lower the pedal.

[@russellbelliveau1694]

Great machine glad they got one to you.

[@kavemanthewoodbutcher]

Im in love! That splitforce is awesome! Do want!

[@ChrisLascari]

A day late but here I am.

[@thelogfather5002]

Better late than never!

[@brianwestveer9532]

Very nice

[@MeMyselfAndTouYube]

Such a great machine. If you slow down the conveyor it will make less noise and reduce the wear and tear.

[@thelogfather5002]

The conveyor has a great speed controller… I’ll try it slower and see how it goes.

[@jbbrown7907]

Is this the same machine as Mike Morgan has? I thought his was blue, but my mind has grown old. Mike hasn't run his while he had the Rex

[@thelogfather5002]

They’re available in a few different colours- I asked for a green one. Mike Morgan has one too.

[@JustinTurner000]

what a wicked machine

[@WoodchuckCanuck]

Welcome to the Split Force family 🙂 And here's an operational tip from Gina, for pieces that are leaning (slant cut on both ends), have the top end lean towards you so that should it kick out at the bottom, it won't kick towards your body. Example kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp-rmp99i72KpcU

[@jasonpinnix1905]

Every one but me must off load to the left I have always off load to the right . Almost every splitter out there is made that way

[@thelogfather5002]

I find it a bit awkward to offload to the left as well. It’s not trained in my muscle memory yet.

[@tigersharkot]

Please remember to always put all your fingers on the sides of the wood. It wouldn't be nice to lose a thumb.😉

[@thelogfather5002]

I’m missing a few fingers now- I keep a close eye on the ones I have left.

[@jbbrown7907]

Does the split firewood dry more slowly on those bags?

[@thelogfather5002]

Probably not- although I have no data to support that. The bag manufacturers claim it will- but I just use it for convenience so I don’t have to stack it.

[@Spruce_ridge_farm]

This thing is darn sweet!! A little rubber pad under the wedge might help in these frozen conditions tho eh?

[@bwillan]

That would defeat the purpose of being able to slide the firewood and rounds around on the work surface easily.

[@Spruce_ridge_farm]

@@bwillan I don't think it would matter much with wood that size, each to their own, cheers

[@Garrett572xpg]

Only thing it needs is grizzly bars a shade canopy and a cup holder

[@thelogfather5002]

It doesn’t seem to make any trash- it all stays on the table and I can sweep it to the right every few rounds. The only thing that goes on the conveyor is what I put there. :)

[@Frontireadventures]

Maybe a little non skid top on that table. Very nice machine.

[@thelogfather5002]

I think if the wood wasn’t frozen it’d be fine. It would kinda defeat the purpose of the slippery table for sliding the rounds to and fro.

[@Frontireadventures]

@@thelogfather5002 agreed.

[@jbbrown7907]

Everyone watches to the end.

[@LeBlancfirewood]

Bought the axis in September its a pain to move the axis and conveyer to fill my bins like the table height of the axis don't know if the splitforce would hurt my back being lower

[@thelogfather5002]

I didn’t find the table too low on the Split-Force.

[@jamesring6738]

I can see that being alot easier on the back

[@thelogfather5002]

Come down and giver a spin!

[@jamesring6738]

@@thelogfather5002 if I get a second I'd love to thanks

[@johnwinslow4503]

For that short wood order, 17cm = 6 3/4 inches. I would cut the wood at 14 inches and split then resaw as needed, sale falls thru, wood still saleable.

[@thelogfather5002]

I wouldn’t do it if I had to handle the wood twice. Cheaper not to do the job and not get paid than doing it twice and get paid only once!

[@ThomasDavis-q2d]

How much does 1 of these cost ??

[@thelogfather5002]

Just north of $20k depending on options.

[@clarksimmerman5968]

Stopped watching at 4 minutes. No splitting.

[@thelogfather5002]

Should have stayed just a little longer!

Hello Jeff, A very effective machine, Split Force Quality 🤘🏻🪵🇺🇸
