Nice Capt did equal number of Q's and A's Pretty nice video Nice demo offer too Mr C

[@bmw1894]

What is the cost of replacement bars, chains and sprockets?

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

Thanks for loaning the unit to Mike! Hope you sell a bunch of units from it! Lee

[@revo7721]

It would be cool if you could adjust where the splitter sits. That way no guess work on length of wood splits. I expect royalties if implemented 😁

[@dougyurecko6500]

The wedge is adjustable manually. On the 150 there is a hydraulic option i believe.

Mike i have no use for a wood processor but what an awesome Q and A video. I love the simple solution you have for measuring and even the cam. Its why you have such a great channel. Its not all one thing all the time and you do so many great projects. Thanks for the great content.

I've been retired for a few years now? where was this awesome equipment at 50 years ago when I was swinging an ax (couldn't afford a chopping maul) splitting cords at each sitting???? Thanks for sharing this video. Much respect for your homesteading projects. Shout out to C & C for their excellent customer service. 😁

[@CaptainKleeman]

It's pretty awesome!

Great job cutting wood Captain Kleeman

[@klsc8510]

Captain, as it is it does about everything but make your coffee and stack the split wood for you!

[@andrewcoil5544]

I use to heat my home with splid wood for over 30 years. It would take 5 trailer loads of wood to do that per year. The way this looks, a guy could have the machine split the wood over the top of the trailer thus eliminating the need to hand-load the trailer. That would have been awesome. Great video Captain!!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Absolutely, that's one of the cool things about it. Aside from cutting the tree down, you don't ever have to touch the wood

[@americanpatriot2.06]

The evolution of axe to small box store log splitters to the machine mounted wood processors. Not only do they get more advanced and complicated, but more expensive. In the end, it all depends on your budget and justifiable need.

Thats faster than a four edged axe. Seriously nice machine. Nice demo. You should be a salesman. Thank you Dirt Perfect for loaning Mike the skid steer.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Captain Kleeman

[@pinwizz69]

Whoever invented that splitter deserves to have gotten wealthy off it. Definitely one heck af a back saving device. I've split wood before and it's more back breaking hard than I'd ever want to do on a regular basis. Sure was nice of Clint @ C & C toloan it to you. Now you'll have to do a fund series of episodes so you can buy one to keep on your homestead Captain.

[@nelsonannett5427]

big thanks to clint and mike for the machines and the fire wood splitter is the next best thing next to soft ice cream. well done captain. cheers.

Thanks!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Cap’n thanx for the closeup review. You answered all my questions but one…. Does it come with a Pepsi can crushing attachment? I mean after a whole day of cutting wood, a guy is gonna have a case or two of empties to deal with. Surely, he can’t be expected to have to stomp all of them at that point!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Oh I reckon a fella could crush a can or two

[@mikeludwig4315]

Great Q&A video on the splitter.

[@stanleymartin1613]

Neat stuff. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎

[@buddyreed2623]

Hi Mike. You definitely go two steps farther for your viewers. This will be neat to see on the back of your tractor. In eight hours of cutting, I think you would have enough for 4 - 8 hours of stacking, by yourself. Have good days!

[@Fatamus]

Two foot of hickory 😲 went through it like butter. The cycle time is pretty-dog-on fast😉👍 Which is the second most important thing ... the first is there are no hands nor fingers in the way. Wood splitters are notorious for taking fingers.

[@Fatamus]

Thanks Cap'n and guys n gal at C&C

[@CaptainKleeman]

Definitely has fast cycle time

[@garulusglandarius6126]

Excellent as always Mike 👍 in my humble opinion you’re on 100% for great/enjoyable viewing ! If I were Clint, I’d be very happy with your endorsement of his product ( he seems like a cool guy so he probably is ) Keep up the great work 👍 Best wishes from Britain 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧

Okay. Now that I’ve got the wood chips out of my eyes from being in the line of fire for the action shot I realize I’m slipping up and not being fully prepared with all the required PPE to watch a Captain Kleeman video. I’m sure in an 8 hour day you’ll split a huge pile of wood if you aren’t running a commentary and moving cameras around for all the great action shots. I predict that the pile of logs you have prepped will be gone much faster than you think.

[@philliptennis3537]

Good vid…. Great that you are cross marketing with DP and C&C. I offer a word of caution about TikTok; without going into details, if you decide to run that app on your devices or submit content to the platform…you are exposed to greater tech ills than what is typical with other platforms.

[@TGSamantha091]

That "like a teenager" comment is hilarious hahaha

[@rickster9993]

The way I've always worked here in Oklahoma is based on a rick being a third of a cord. A cord measures 8 ft long by 4 ft high by 4 ft wide. A rick measures 8 ft long by 4 ft high by 16 in wide. I have used wood at many widths based on the fireplace I'm cutting for. 16 in Long logs are the perfect length as far as I'm concerned. 16 in Long logs give the best burn through the length of the log. I have a friend the has a small pot belly stove and he likes 12 in logs. anything longer won't fit. The little stove he has will heat a large room, and you'll be shedding clothes.

[@CaptainKleeman]

So 16" logs aren't perfect then??? Lol appreciate ya watching

[@rickster9993]

@@CaptainKleeman I'm just saying I think 16 in. logs work best for overall burning. Anything longer and the center burns out leaving un-burnt ends. Anyway I figure out long ago, wood isn't an efficient heat source. I do enjoy a good outdoor camp fire but I won't ever go back to heating a house with wood as the primary heat source.

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Cut and split all the firewood to heat my moms house thru high school and college. Although I’ve moved beyond that I will always have a passion for the tools and process’s behind it. Not sure how innovative my idea is, probably saw it somewhere before and just copying it. A metal square tube mounted thru a sleeve with locking screws could be mounted to the top of the splitting wedge reaching back towards the saw. Adjust the needed length and lock it down. It will stop the log moving forward when the log hits the end of the tube. The splitting sled with cut wood will continue forward under it. Just clamp the log in place before retracting the sled. You can get fancy and make it with various lengths and drilled holes for pins instead of friction locking screws. Also could devise a mount that’s removable so you can switch between wedges. Not sure if C&C wants you welding to it. 😂 hence the idea of making it removable. This certainly is the nicest style of splitter I’ve seen if you have something to power it.

[@danb1059]

the teenager comment is classic!

[@kellysprayberry8163]

I just finished putting a backup camera on my skid steer and video’d it. It does have a second input, so you could also mount a second camera like you did and done! Like you said, the hardest thing was finding a switched 12V source, but I got lucky in that there was an empty harness I could tap into. Good video!

[@michaelmullins1290]

No doubt its a awesome machine. If I were gonna buy one. I think I would try to get friends involved to help on cost. Everything needs to be as cheap as possible. That's a great way to do that.

[@justinfinke9249]

I had one of those piles of heap! Yes it saves on the body but the fuel consumption ya use is ridiculous per cord wood. Then depending if you have to have the optional buttons to run the functions of the processor I fried 5 sets. Yes they warrantied it but what a headache. Also had that safety switch break twice for the log deck to move back and forth. The wedge would get so stuck in the beam had to drive it out or hook chain to the wedge and another tree to get it out to switch. Those are the issues I had. I ended up getting my money back and got a regular processor.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Fuel consumption is going to vary from machine to machine. But I think most people would expect to burn fuel when operating a machine. Curious to see if any of those issues show up you mentioned. But I've yet to run any equipment that doesn't have to be wrenched on at some point. Part of owning equipment. Appreciate ya y

[@everestyeti]

Quick question, could you fit a stand alone electric hydraulic pump to your tractor to work not just this but other skidsteer attachments as well? I'm not an operator or an engineer, but thought it would be worth asking the question. Another great film Captain. 👍🤗

[@terryrogers1025]

Well sir, I contend you could run 50’ long logs through that processor, for instance, you could use the V rollers you had from the boat trailer and make a frame to support over length log using the frame and with the processor being mobile you could adjust it to the frame to help support the length as you go along, especially if you have it mounted on the backhoe boom, to me what I am seeing is that loading the processor is what cuts down on the efficiency, cut the load time, increase production, just a thought young man.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Nows there's an idea!
