Wood Splitter- Test Run in the Shop

Free run of splitter in the shop. Actually I’m releasing these videos in reverse. I have the “first” video in the works of it splitting wood. Still familiarizing myself with the controls 😆

Good job very interesting.

[@cocoscorner6419]

You are a master craftsman. Would love to help you split some logs one day

[@wireedm1]

Nice work! A one or two person mode! lol

[@survivingcountrylife7069]

Awesome looking splitter!!!

[@elricofarmer1561]

Great craftsmanship! The speed on that log lift should earn you the opportunity to make some extra cash on the side; I think the government would be interested in using this device to launch satellites into space! 😁 All joking aside, THANKS for the great video and thanks for sharing your ideas to the world. Especially, Thanks for not blasting us out with loud music during your presentation!

[@miketrentham6632]

That is one awesome splitter. You did a great job building it.

[@miketrentham6632]

I bought an old northern tool splitter and am getting ready to use parts to build me a better splitter.

[@garny3766]

@@miketrentham6632 yup you got the bug too. I started with a menards Black Friday special. Graduated to a RM 37 and now my own custom build. I think I’m good now...but I said that at the menards splitter too!

[@DavidS-dj7sn]

Outstanding

[@a.l.l.firewood8883]

That is absolutely awesome, great build

[@tombryan720]

Man that is some serious stuff you got going there. Awesome

[@rogerl8488]

Dam what a build!!!

[@traviswalker6831]

Where did you get your cylinder with the big ram to bore ratio. They don’t seem easy to find. Thanks

Pretty slick splitter, two-, and four-way capable, a log lift, and dual engines...what's not to love? 😉👌👍 P.S. -- Frick sent me. 😊

[@DavidS-dj7sn]

Just out of curiosity why do they need two levers to make the splitter go forward in backwards

[@budlegallee4993]

Talk a look at the Rugged Made splitter.

[@everythingoutdoors7944]

Holy shit that is one bad ass unit my friend! Great job,you are one hell of a Craftsman. get her painted up and get after some wood!

[@Lakecenterlawncare]

So awesome. I can’t wait to see it split some wood!

[@FromSteelToWood]

That will be a valid entry to the next splitter war! Have you got a chance to have Roger's attention over this splitter?

[@alexislaferriere1794]

The hot rod of log splitters

[@dakotakid3936]

Looks like a trees worst nightmare! You don't live on Elm St do you?

[@brandonmals1610]

What size/stroke cylinder on log lift?

[@garny3766]

2x10

[@budlegallee4993]

Rugged made 37 ton splitter 4 way wedge, free shipping under 4K

[@garny3766]

Yup see my first 2 videos.

[@budlegallee4993]

Good info, I had not seen your other videos. I am in process of building a processor with a box wedge. I only do bundles and am not building for super high production. To keep things simple the saw will be a 372xp w/28" bar actuated by a long lever with spring return. Am using a modified atv electric winch to move logs forward and back. Have not figured out how to do the log clamp but it may be hydraulic running off the power beyond port of the Prince auto cycle valve. Pump will be 28 gpm, cylinder 24" stroke 4" diameter with a 3" rod. Motor is 20 hp from a lawn tractor. Wish me luck.

[@JoeDavis82]

Awesome build, just curious on the total expense. It looks like it’s worth every penny though!

[@garny3766]

@$7K.

[@chadthornton9480]

Is the dual motors for speed ? Very fast for hydraulic spitter. Awesome build

[@garny3766]

Chad, yes. This is the most cost effective way to get high flow and maintain a 2 stage pump system.
