Splitting Undesirable Tree Service Wood With The Box Store Splitter‼️

Going back to the basics to split up some not so fun , undesired tree service leftovers!!

[@toddellisor5465]

Hey Todd great video. Good to see your old spliter out in the wood yard.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah it was good to get Ole Red out! Still gets the job done for sure! Thanks for watching Todd👊🏻

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Hey Todd and Evan , good to see RED out and stretching her cylinder a bit . I have been looking at the splitfires vertical splitter . I contacted them and asked where they bringing one to the Bunyan show and they said they were not sure which machines they were bringing . I point blank told them if they didn’t bring their vertical splitter they were messing up . Good video . Take care . 👍🏻🇺🇸🪵

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah ole RED still has it😂 Sure have split a lot of wood with that thing!! Yeah I’m betting Split Fire should be planning on bringing that vertical to Bunyan!! Thanks for watching Del👊🏻🇺🇸

[@BobbySixguns]

Good clean-up day. Gettting all the uglies, cookies, and such cleaned up is something I'm real good at putting off, but it always feels good when they're cleaned up and in the bin. Good to see the ol' Boxer out and getting a workout.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

So true! Do you know me I have to stay on top of things I can’t stand working in a pile of rubble!😂 Ole red fired right up and did what it always does! thanks for watching BOBBY👊🏻

[@firewoodathome]

You're right, situation, and perspective. 👍👍

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks Bill👊🏻

[@outdoorsinthe608]

Man those rows are perfect! You sure did get a lot of wood from that tree service score. Looking great Todd👍👍🍻

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well the camera makes them look good😂 Yeah just under 4 cords after it was all said and done! Can’t beat that! Thanks for watching Jeremiah 👊🏻🍻

[@WilleysFirewood]

I did the same thing today and cleaned the woodyard up to make room for 2 more 12 cord loads coming this week. Your yard is filling up quick and looking nice. Keep up the good work boys.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Keeping the yard clean means you’re ready for anything! Thanks for watching Russ👊🏻

[@TwinCityFirewood]

We save the shorts/cutoffs too. I’ve sold them to people with solo stoves. They seem to like it for that. Your woodyard is nice and clean man!! Enjoyed the show!!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

It all sells. Ya just gotta find the right market. I appreciate ya watching Jacob👊🏻

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I know when I went back to. Boxer for a video after running a commercial rig I couldn’t believe how much productivity we gained with the commercial units. It was an eye opener.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah my eyes have been opened for sure! Boxers have there place! It just depends on your situation with firewood. Kinda like going from an axe to a boxer. Same when it comes to going from a boxer to a commercial rig! Huge difference in both situations! Thanks for watching Heath👊🏻

[@BigelowWoodcraft]

Another great video. Your second woodyard is looking great. I agree i think the vertical splitters are the way to go. If I ever buy a another hydraulic it would be one for sure. I hope you had a great holiday weekend.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks Jerry. Having the opportunity to run this vertical has opened my eyes. I know they’re more expensive but well worth it if you’re working on huge rounds. Had a great fourth. Hope you did as well. Thanks for watching.👊🏻

[@fatefarmspa]

You sure are getting stockpiled up on your wood that’s for sure was good to see old, faithful back up and running 😂

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well you know what they say, “ it’s never enough”😂 I expect to be busier this fall than last! I guess we will see? Yeah ole Red fired right up and got the job done again. I appreciate ya taking the time to watch and comment Tom👊🏻

Nice and tidy as always 👍🇧🇻

You bet! Thanks for watching Fredrik👊🏻

[@fricknjeep]

hi there well done john

[@davidedwards3734]

I run my box store splitter on occasion. Reminds me why I bought the 35c Magnum, but been eyeing the 17VS-C more and more!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@toddsoutsideagain]

It was good to get “Ole Red “ out! I actually didn’t mind running it! I can definitely see the huge difference between it and a commercial splitter now!! This VS-C is for sale😂 Thanks for watching David👊🏻

[@AllenFamilyFirewood]

Always a nice clean wood yard Todd . Looks like ya 2 nd wood yard if filling up fast . That 4 headed chunk definitely belongs on a burn pile .

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Thanks! The second woodyard has been an awesome perk! Water today we will have 8 full cords over there not counting the ugly splits in totes! Yup that ugly 4headed cherry was donated to the bonfire fund😂 Thanks Phil👊🏻

[@eastonheafner4352]

Nice wood Todd!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Only the best! Thanks Easton👊🏻

[@765Guys]

Somtimes box store splitter is the perfect machine for the job, simple and easy to move!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

They sure do have their place! Kinda depends on your situation and how much you are producing. Thats what makes that ULTRA so appealing!! Take care Genin👊🏻

[@765Guys]

@@toddsoutsideagain I agree, the ultra is kind of the do all, just not do all as good as the verticals for precision or the production machines for mass production. But it can hang with them and it’s easy to move 🤷‍♂️

[@kenthorsen4558]

It still beats splitting by hand! And I like how you get the woodyard cleaned up at the end of the day 👍

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yes it does! That boxer has been a great machine! We clean up our mess after every outing! I like to start the next session in a clean environment. Thanks Ken👊🏻

[@jdubbink98]

If you get many more tree service drops you’ll have to find a new-new woodyard for more storage! …..also, I like the woodyard tunnel. 😁👍

[@toddsoutsideagain]

I hear ya😂 Running out of room again. We will be advertising bulk sales here in about a month to free up some space! I appreciate ya watching Jdubb👊🏻

[@KendalLacy]

Nice hat!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yes it is!! Thanks for watching Kendal❤

[@toddpacheco4748]

Todd,I’m sure 👍 that you’re gonna keep a hold of that tree service outfit excellent job and video 😮😊❤

[@toddsoutsideagain]

I hope so! This makes it even easier! I need to call them this week and let them know I can take another load when they have it😁 Thanks for watching Todd👊🏻

[@buildlife]

Good to see the old girl back in action!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

The ole girl had been very good to me! Still gets the job done! Thanks for watching Steve👊🏻

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Nice to see the boxers outside. My old boxer is running great and enjoying life at its new home 😉👍

[@toddsoutsideagain]

That's great! Hopefully the new owner is putting it to work! Thanks for watching Daniel👊🏻

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

@toddsoutsideagain : He is happy, and it's running like it should. He already has it spoiled, tho as it's living in the garage vs. here with me living homeless and maybe under a tarp . LoL

[@KNLFirewood]

Holy smokes you have a ton of split wood! Gonna be a good winter 👍! You're right. Don't mess with those ultra uglies. Good show TOA!

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah we have a lot of splits! Something about a commercial splitter coming into my life has ramped things up a bit😂 I appreciate ya watching and commenting Mike👊🏻

[@smorefirewood]

We sell most of our softwood chunks and hunks. We burn the hardwood hunks and chunks to heat our house.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah no sense in wasting them. We sell them in the fall too and the rest heats our garage. Now I will say I have to throttle back on saving everything! Some of it is not worth the time spent breaking it down! Like that 4 headed cherry! Thanks for stopping by Dana👊🏻

[@saltrock9642]

At around 12G’s for the 17VS I’m in search of a long lost rich great uncle with one leg in. Fun show, thanks

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah I hear ya😂 All I can add to that is it’s totally worth the investment, but you have to be producing a lot of firewood to make it justifiable. It has really saved my back though and that’s worth a lot! Thanks for watching Saltrock👊🏻

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

Hope wolf ridge keeps bringing demos to you. Another vertical model or a horizontal with a lift and box wedge and maybe conveyor would be nice.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well we will see? This vertical has been a real joy to run. A horizontal would be great to compare now😂 I can’t complain either way what an opportunity this has been! Thanks for watching Jimmie👊🏻

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

@@toddsoutsideagain yep i bet its been awesome my friend

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

Nothing wrong with your boxer splitter. I love the work hight. If it was mine I'd build a work table to stack rounds close maybe with a section rollers like the unload boxes from a truck. And I'd look for a valve to speed up cycle time but that's it.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Not at all. Ole Red has been good to me! I’m not even disappointed with the cycle time. 10.5 seconds is pretty good for a boxer! Thanks Jimmie 👊🏻

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

@@toddsoutsideagain of course but that would be my only major improvement. But yeah it's already faster than some.

[@FirewoodInTheField]

Since the 17VS is leaving soon, you considering getting a vertical machine to replace it? The 17VS would be hard to beat. But I am considering the new vertical splitter from Split-Fire, the 1165. It a lot smaller than the 17VS, and hand-control.. but a vertical splitter for around $3k has me very interested

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Not sure what will be next? I have seen that split fire! It was very interesting since it had a small footprint and a low cost! I would like to try it sometime. Thanks for watching and commenting 👊🏻

[@jasonpinnix1905]

The one you have there I got one like it and an older one over 30 years old I set and split . Toss in to tractor bucket totes or conveyer

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Boxers definitely have their place! Sure beats swinging an axe all day like we used to😂 Commercial splitters are definitely more expensive but what a difference! It just depends on your situation and if you can justify the cost difference. Thanks for watching Jason👊🏻

[@FirewoodInTheField]

I'm getting my old box-store splitter out myself this morning. Nothing special, just have not ran it in awhile (been using my Ramsplitter H34

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yeah it was actually fun running the my ole boxer again! Simplicity is very relaxing sometimes😂

[@BGWenterprises]

For an un-modified box store splitter, thats definitely faster then average!. Must be a 16gpm pared with a 4" cylinder. Usually, 16's are used on a 5" cylinder making it about the same speed as a 11gpm on a 4" . If its off warranty, you could adjust the gov spring a bit, get the engine to run a little faster then the oem 3,600 max. Mabe shave off another 1.5-ish seconds a round trip. . Removeing the 90 degree fitting would help fluid flow a bit.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

I’m not sure on what got pump it has? It has a fast forward ram speed and a slower retract! I have not done anything to it but split a ton of wood😂 It’s been a great splitter. I appreciate ya watching and commenting BGW👊🏻

[@BGWenterprises]

@@toddsoutsideagain i noticed the unusual fast out, slower in. Best gess is it could be related to the restrictions in the 90 degree fittings.

[@jameschandler2776]

What do you do with all your little stuff, we have special bin for it and we use it in our fireplace. That is also what we do with most of our uglies. We have 1 family that comes for 9 days and rents 4 cabins and they burn about 2 cords of uglies. Uglies can be a pain, but they all burn, they are just harder to stack and store.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Hello James. We sell our uglies in the fall/winter by the IBC tote full. The rest we use to heat our garage. The really small chunks I made I use on our BBQ grill to cook with. Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@Bass2010]

Why not just go ahead and break down and buy the vertical splitter cause you know you like it and it makes your life easier and make’s getting big log split easier yes I know they cost a lot but I’m sure you could work out some kind of deal with them

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well that would be awesome but not in the budget this year! I will have one someday but it has to be justified. When the time is right I’m definitely going to have a commercial grade splitter. It definitely makes life in the woodyard easier. Thanks for watching Bass 👊🏻

[@followthegrainfirewood4525]

Great score with that new tree service contact. That’s an awesome amount of wood to get for free dropped off at your house. I’m curious about those small chunks of smoking wood. Have you done a video on that? Stay Safe, Keep Cuttin!🪵🪵🪵🪵

[@toddsoutsideagain]

I was blown away with this new tree service! Your right ya just can’t beat over 3 cords dropped in your yard spread our ready to cut! I did do a video way back on smoker chunks? Haven’t sold much though. I have just been using these oak chunks to cook over on my BBQ grill. I just use some slash in the bottom of my charcoal chimney to get it started and use the chunks like charcoal 🤷‍♂️ Works great! Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@InMyBusyLittleShop]

Good time splitting. Yeah I have split many cords of wood with a borrowed boxer. It’s all faster than an axe.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Yes it was! Yeah it’s hard telling how many cords this boxer has split? Probably at least 75! Thanks for watching Robert👊🏻

[@OpenAirAdventure]

Hey Todd and Evan. You wasted nothing from that service 🪵. Nice work fellas.

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Well we try to get the most out of it for sure! We did take a couple pieces to the burn pile! Would have taken too much time to salvage anything out of them. 😂 Thanks for watching Kenny👊🏻
