This Thing CRANKS Through Firewood! BruteForce Semi-Pro

[@upinsmokefirewood]

Level up! No worry about nuttin! These big commercial splitters take the anxiety out of splitting! And Jim if you need another son.... or probably more like a brother I guess LOL

[@HomesteadJay]

Hahaha thanks Steve!

[@Treestofirewood]

I’m jealous of this splitter now. I’m going to have to get me one soon. She just crushes that ash. Super nice. Usually a splitter will struggle with ash. But not that beast. So happy for you man.

[@HomesteadJay]

Thing rips! Straight grain ash didn’t skip a beat through the 6 way haha

[@taumbannon5289]

Good buy. It will make you money. And hold its value.

[@jeffschaefer4579]

Nice splitter! That log lift goes wfo lol.

[@HomesteadJay]

It flies hahaha it will catapult if your not paying attention haha

[@countryroadslife]

Next year at Bunyan you can pick up a conveyor! That’s a great machine! Definitely going to save you time & your back with the lift.

[@HomesteadJay]

I think that’s on the list hahaha

[@TheRussellStover]

I need to figure out my log lift too. It comes up WAY too fast for my tastes. I'll adjust it tomorrow and test split a few pieces. I think it's the screw adjustment.

[@HomesteadJay]

Could be! I’ve gotten use to it by now 4 cords later and we’re good!

[@healyfamily4]

Sweeeeeet! 💪 💪💪

[@KayBeee]

What's up Jay? Nice splitter!

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Kay. All good just rocking the splitter! How are ya?

[@J.R.Y.558]

What's the force (tonnage) on the push cylinder? It's got some decent speed to it!

[@HomesteadJay]

I think it’s around 30 ish tons. But year thing cycles back so fast I love it!

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

That lift tried to launch that big round lol Bet you can find an old farm conveyor cheap that will work for your fire wood.

[@HomesteadJay]

Already on the wish list lol thanks for tuning in Jimmie!

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

@@HomesteadJay that and auto cycle is all you will need. What they go for price wise??

[@joelskeldon]

Awesome working splitter, but man i dont know if its just me but you split firewood way too small for my likings. Maybe its just the camera but it almost looks like kindling lol

[@HomesteadJay]

I think it’s the camera hahah

[@truckdriver7721]

Another KZbinr I follow had an open house at his facility in Northeastern ohio back in May of this year. Wolf Ridge, Easton, timber wolf. Along with japa firewood processors. I'm kind of torn between Wolf Ridge and Timber wolf.

[@HomesteadJim]

@@truckdriver7721 We looked at a lot of splitters in OH. By far the Brute Force was the best production machine we demo for its size and price point.

[@richarddabkowski2896]

Boiler running yet? You're going to have plenty of off cuts and ugly wood that will need to be disposed of with all the wood you're Abe to process now

[@HomesteadJay]

Hey Rich! Just fired her up yesterday! Stay tuned lol

[@Lee-JayGessell]

Your goin to hurt someone if there helping you stop pulling wrong lever buddy

[@HomesteadJay]

It’s gonna take a second to get my mechanics correct with this. I’m used to single hydro lever. Now I have 3 lol

[@Dogsout78]

At first glance i am not that impressed. Sure it is fast but at what cost? If you are looking for uniform splits this is definitely not your machine. There has to be some way to control the speed of the wedge and the log lifter, they are way to fast. When that log lift comes up that fast and flips the bottom hinged part over is an accident waiting to happen. Trying to pull bigger splits back over the wedge seems to be unhandy at best. On the plus side, i guess if you like kindling this machine produces a fair amount of this. This post may not be popular, but it is my honest opinion. Enjoy your new splitter and as long as you are happy the is all that really matters.

[@HomesteadJim]

@@Dogsout78 I believe my son was using the 6-way wedge which produced a smaller slice. I’ll have him post some single and 4-way wedge videos to compare.

[@HomesteadJim]

Works great. 👍🏻

[@HomesteadJay]

Yes it does!
