A true beast that split Taryl's nose 👃

Taryl takes on this Mad Max lookin' log splitter in this here video. This thing has a few major issues and some minor ones too. Sit back and enjoy the show as Taryl goes over this BEAST of a log splitter. He also addresses that split in his schnoz he received from this very log splitter. It's always a good idea to use caution and not do like Taryl and injure yourself while operating one of these dangerous machines.

They probably forgot to put the jack up before towing it! Went over a bump and bottom out! Ask me how I know? Just saying... Danger Will Robinson!

[@brandonvarney7258]

I would disagree. That is ½" plate maybe ⅜" That jack would be long gone before you slightly bent ⅜" plate. But what do I know?

[@barrygordon5223]

😊😊😅

[@danbrookshire5628]

Same for my trailer.

[@woofy548]

That's exactly what happened.

[@sonicdewd]

That jack might have been replaced after bending that. It looks a bit newer than the rest of the machinery.

[@MacGyver-1]

The two levers makes it auto split and auto return, so moving both levers forward alows you to walk away and get the next log ready while the cylinder cycle forward and auto retracts

[@beanolatte2682]

Nice splitter!! Like how you used the ram to assist in straightening!!

[@jeeper426]

"shake hands with danger" fits this log splitter (thanks old caterpillar safety videos) this thing actually looks like a piece of equipment that could have been in that video tbh, cool to see it run and operate, but man that thing looks like it would be quite dangerous to operate if you weren't paying 125% attention to what was going on at all times, glad you didn't get hurt too bad Taryl, knotted wood can be dangerous even with a chainsaw (kickback for those who don't know), stay safe out there guys

[@stclairstclair]

Man I remember when I was about 17 a guy I met was complaining he couldn't get government help for his bills, then he held up a mashed hand, he was loading the wood and trusting his friend with his hand, his friend crushed his hand, poor kid was only 18

Just what was thinking when he fired up the torch. I remember those videos.

[@aresacres5652]

It’s missing it’s catch plate at the end of the split and it has an auto cycle valve. Push the 2 handles forward and it should push and retract on its own.

[@addamsaddams4461]

I love watching your videos there funny entertaining and educational and like the way you did the extra support that's the way it should had been done when it was built and thought for a minute add another jack to the other side to give it even more support when it's not hooked on a truck hitch

[@ralphwatten2426]

Lots of great tricks for fixing the rewind. Didn't know about the slipknot. There's my Sunday Brunch. P.S. I wonder if someone took the return spring out of the extend valve. It would be nice to have an accumulator on the retract valve too. I've seen better home built splitters. Sorry about the splitter injury, I have wondered about it. Could have been much worse than what happened. Dodged a bullet! Thanks Taryl

[@bpindermoss]

Hi Taryl: Just a little note, I'm an electromechanical engineering tech with experience in automation repair, maintenance and installation/construction. But I know diddly about small engines, and we just had an ice storm wander across southern Ontario. A big pine tree fell over in my front yard and needed to be sawed up. Paying someone to do it is too costly for me, so I used the only tool I had, an ancient Pioneer chainsaw left to me by my father, that hadn't been started in a good 5 years. Thanks to your videos, I got it going, sharpened, and chopped up that tree. Living in rural Canada, we are pretty much dependent on small engines for snowblowers, chainsaws, generators, lawn tractors, weed whackers, and the list goes on. Thanks to your videos I am capable of doing a lot of repairs on the small engines I have. So, thank-you Taryl, for doing what you do, showing us noobs what tools to buy, what tricks to use, what parts to get and are available. All of that knowledge has proven to be valuable.

Hi Taryl , you are working on an Easton made splitter made in Perth Ontario Canada, there shop is about 10 mins down the road from my house. Nice job fixing it up for the guys that need it . Cheers man. 🍻 love the videos and the information you share.

[@jhitt79]

I hate that style of log splitter. Mine has the footplate on the end and the wedge on the ram. I MUCH PREFER it that way so it doesn’t push your piece past where working and off on the ground. Waste a ton of time having to bend over and pick large pieces back up to split them a second time. I get that this one has a four way splitting wedge but that has limitations as well.

[@paulwillard5924]

That splitter was a dangerous stupid design. I serviced one and the owner built it himself. A piece of supper engineering. After servicing the engine I watched the owner split a log lager than what Taryl was splitting and this splitter went through that log like a hot knife through butter. Best engineering I have ever seen. Sad part the owner died 2 weeks later killed by Covid.

That is a serious wood splitter. It would make short work of the softwood rounds we have in the Intermountain west. You're splitting hardwood. When it dries you'll have really good fuel for those Midwest winters. Great video as usual.

[@Castellanocreep]

If anyone’s wife isn’t a fan of Taryl vidoes she sure isn’t after this one 😊

[@johnskipper432]

I’m still laid up from my bout with the killer tiller. I felt just a bump on my leg and had an eight inch long cut that cut a blood vein. Didn’t last long after I cut that vein before I passed out. You don’t realize how you have to be on your guard because these machines have a certain element of danger in their use. I haven’t got back out to my shop yet but I still will have to figure out that tiller. I may have to throw apiece of metal over the tines to put my foot on to start it. Then I will probably just sell it but I’m wondering if I shouldn’t take the engine off of it so that it can not be used. Good luck Taryl and stay safe!!!

Mad Max the Splitter. Taryl asked ta fix 'er. Dolly mount, a bit bent. Table brace broken sent. Pull start - shredded rope. But Taryl gives it hope. Bit O' bending an' bashin' Repairs careless smashin'. New rope wound on spool One pull start.. How Cool! Table leg welded strong Didn't take very long. Angle iron cut to length For more table strength. Weld angle to corner upright On de other side.. Alright! Heat de dolly with Oxy torch Watch metal glow 'an scorch. Pipe wrench makes correction Pulled to proper direction. Electric start is working fine Battery needs charging time. Now to test this scary rig Pick a stump ...O' so big. Mad Max comes to life (later delivers a bit O strife) Taryl splits more at night. Seems a solitary yard tree Did Taryl chop down, ya see. The last log he done split Went rogue ... his nose did hit. Red and White cells did flow. From the vengeful blow. Taryl ceased to bleed this day. No dentist bill he must pay. His words now give fair warning Beware dead trees now haunting. Respect the Mad Max splitter, Smile Grass Rat's.. be not bitter.

[@outlaw6849]

I have an Homemade Log splitter with a old Army Green Wisconsin Engine, Splits wood like crazy, while I was splitting a knot less piece of wood I noticed the engine dropped RPMs and really grunted just as I let go of the lever DANG a 4”X16” to the side hitting a metal building 10’ away and ripped a 2”X 1/2” gap, really makes you think, Always wear your PPE

[@dannylinc6247]

I just had a crapsman brigs n scrap em with one of them craptastic plastic carpentraters on it, and it had a plastic needle valve. Bastidges. That log splitter amazes me. In Washington state, we put one round atop another and go around the perimeter with a maul till it breaks into about ten pieces. IT'S A LOT QUIETER. You just sharpen the maul and use a wedge. Faster work. But for younger Sasquatches.

[@rverro8478]

Jesus Buttered Pancakes ! Was that designed for women ? I have a simple 30 tons splitter that, tilts vertical or horizontal. I don't need that effeminate log carrier device. I roll those oversize logs in place. It sure makes a big difference from splitting with a maul and wedges. ALSO : Those "operators" don't seem to give "two dinners" about maintenance. They get a machine to make their workload easier and, they manage to screw-it up. Smells like a bunch of 'work shy" who purposely wreck things, to get the rest of the day off.

[@Iowa599]

Has any company ever made a handheld log splitter? I'm imagining a system where the reservoir & pump are mounted to a wheelie gig (trailer), but the ram & splitter have ~20' of hoses & handles. Maybe a 2-man job, it depends how big…but it could split short logs laying on the ground, & maybe cut small trees from the ground. Build one!

I warned an employee of the power of a 5hp rototiller. He scoffed at me. He didn't believe. Until one day, while loading a machine into a pick up, it got away from him. Trying to pull back on it to stop the forward movement the machine pulled him up the ramps and only stopped dragging him when it reached the forward part of the bed. Red faced and puffing like he just went a 3 rounds with Joe Frasier I asked him, "Why didn't you just let go of the handle bars?" He had new respect for machinery. Glad you didn't get seriously injured.

[@jamesbainton]

A few things: 1) That initial stroke is really slow compared to what it would have been from the factory. 2) It is missing a stabilizer leg under the wedge, and an aluminum catch pan on the front. 3) You typically run with three people - one loading logs on the lift, one person loading the next round and running the controls, and one person to move the wood away from the catch pan. That machine has definitely seen some use over the years...

The worst splitter I ever used here in oz was one of those cheap electric ones that I was repairing for a neighbour. The base plate was very small and springy. It threw a chunk of wood which caught me in the shoulder. Had it hit me in the face it would have been a very serious injury indeed. I have used a cross splitter attachment on my 40 ton splitter without any problems, but after what you have just said I may have to reconsider using that and only use the single blade.

I have a comment and story about one of my head bleeds. Being nineteen years old and in Vietnam I would fix my own flats on my ten wheel m543 wrecker . The wheels were 1100x20 and had a split rim with a ring that had to be pried off to get to the tube. One time i was in a hurry and didnt let the tire totally deflate when the crow bar slipped out from under the ring and came back and hit me right above the left eye. Besides blood I almost lost my eye and was driven to the medics for three stitches and I had enough for one day.

We used to have an old log spitter that for real was dangerous.. you put the log (much smaller than this) on a very fast conveyor belt and than transported the log into 2 "cogwheels" where the log got pinched in between so it split and then it shot out the back. Well there was a cover over all of this except the conveyor belt and there was a rubber flap on the back that would slow down the logs so they didn't shoot out too far away. But didn't always stop them and sometimes it shot the log back at you 😅
