Splitting Heavy Red Oak on CountyLine 25 Ton Fast Log splitter!

[@ralphgreenwood5857]

Ive had my County Line 25 for about 3 years. Has worked great so far. When I have big stubborn pieces like those big rounds you had, I get the wedge into the end, then let off for a few seconds and let the wood absorb the force. Always helped. Hopefully when I get to 70, I will still be able to run it.🙂👍

I have the older CL 22 ton splitter that I bought 2nd hand for $750 and have been using it for about 4 years now. It's done very well and split everything I''ve ran through it. However, I have to admit that I have NEVER tried to split any rounds the size of what you were splitting in this video!!! Those were pretty massive! I don't think my splitter would be able to push through them. Maybe one day I'll have to get one that size from somewhere and try it, just to see if it will do it? Thanks, good video!!

Thanks for the reply. If this was not in front of my house, I would normally avoid rounds this size and especially rounds from the base of a tree this size. It made it! Thanks for watching.

Splitting those logs with the splitter in the vertical position looks harder on your back then using an ax to split the larger pieces. 😳

It definitely is a little uncomfortable. I have the Fiskars X27 and the oak that I got in my latest video I have been splitting the big rounds with just the axe. Didn't feel like pulling the splitter over and its been a while since I split with the axe. It does in fact split with less effort than using the CountyLine vertically!
