Fairest comparison video I can find. Kinetic vs.

Congratulations on the woodstack 2018 you guys did us Canadians proud

GP, I remember when you first posted this video... good stuff, it’s just now popping back up in my recommends. 😁

GREAT VIDEO ! THANKS GUYS !

Having a buddy to help you is great GP......you guys are awesome.....and nice to help out a neighbor in need of firewood.....good on you..... :)

Another great video Gord! You and Guy seem to have a very good friendship. Thanks for another side by side comparison video. God Bless!

Congratulations on winning Woodstack 2018 in your category. Nice video as well.

Congratulations on your win!

Big thanks to the guys at Farmer's Equipment. GP is an great fella and a true ambassador for your business. If I weren't so far away I would definitely be by to see you guys.

Nice job guys winning woodstack 2018 !!!!

Nice video GP. Both machines are winners and so are you I see. Just watched the results of Woodstack 2018 on Outdoors with the Morgan’s. Congratulations

Great effort boys. Congrats on your woodstack award.

Good use of proper PPE.......well done....!

You guys are a riot! Those are impressive machines. Looking forward to the next video.

Neat comparison, I’m taking a look at the kinetic splitters this week. Thanks for the video from the beautiful woods of Ontario.

Congratulations to you and Guy on Woodstack 2018 ... I enjoyed the series!!

CONGRATULATIONS on winning the you tube woodstack from OUTDOORS WITH THE MORGANS. WAY TO GO all of you.

Nice job guys! Good to see both machines working side by side so you can get a good look at each working. mmm this coffee is good:)

Good fun challenge. I like both of those splitters, GP. Thumbs up.

Congratulations GP for your winning (wood stack 2018) Very enjoy your videos Thanks again! Cheers!

Congratulations on winning GP I can't wait to see what Mike send you in your box looking forward to the unboxing video have a great week and God bless !!! Kioti Curt. 😉👍🚜

again congratulations to Gordon and Guy and the rest of the Gang good showing of teamwork

Congratulations Gord on big win for woodstack 2018!!!

Nice video! I like the speed of the kinetic splitter! The dual splitter is nice too!

It would of been nice to see each operator switch to get a true test. Guy on the right was humping to get wood split. Guy on the left was just cruising. No rush

Congratulations on winning the KZfaq category in Woodstack 2018! We’re all proud of you and Guy and everyone else who pitched in! Hope you’ll show off all the goodies you won! We have two inches of snow on the ground, how about you? Is your blower ready to go? I’m excited for some snow clearing videos, and maybe to make a few. Only time will tell. Stay warm GP! Cheers!

Congratulation for the winning GP ( woodstack ) and happy birthday !!!

Wow how fast the kinetic splitter performed .if you want i post a few pictures of my splitter whith my old cormic .and thanks for your work again.cheers michael

Just ran across this channel. I like your presentation, demeanor, and your music. You just got a subscriber. Nice video thanks.

Congrats on Woodstack 2018 GP!

So the Brave wins! I like the idea of using another chunk of wood to get a first piece unstuck. That's why I love the 2 way wedge it's not just the speed.

Both machines are nice to see in operation. It's the second splitter contest and so far, you seem to choose the fastest each time!!! When a sizeable tree sits on it's stump, I don't chain it directly to the tractor, as you never know what the tree can do. The base of the tree can slide on the ground and pull your tractor FEL sideways. This tree is twice the weight of the tractor, if not more. I rather tie a chain between a nearby strong tree and the base of tree to fall. Then I pull (with another chain length) perpendicular to the middle of that first chain. Any kickback would be to the other tree, not the tractor. You seem to get better weather than I got!!! My best guess, it was on a week day? Thanks GP!

First I have ever seen of the Gripo. Really cranked them out fast. The tables are a nice feature on both splitters. I use an Iron & Oak 20 ton splitter, traditional design with a 6 HP commercial grade Briggs & Stratton Vanguard engine. Nice little wood cart you got there too! Best, Bill on the Hill... :~)

I did not know Kubota sold a claw for carrying tree trunks. Neat!

I have the dual splitter from Northern tool and it is exactly the same as the Brave. I will say that the kinetic splitters are fast, but the dual spliiters are "somewhat" safer. No need to slam the piece into the wedge. I say "somewhat" because it is easy to get complacent and begin to split the other direction while looking at what you want to split next. Removed the end of my left ring finger when I got it between the wood and the small cleat that prevents the wood from sliding. Fortunately not all the way to the first joint so I just call it "stubby"!! And I have split and burnt wood for 40+ years.

Greetings, As usual great video, great to have someone to enjoy the great outdoors with, you two work very well together, always a pleasure to watch your videos, Thanks, Later!!

GP, that was nice to see the difference between the two! That Kinetic splitter is really fast! Wish we had your weather! lol Have a great week GP!

Good to see you guys using protective gear. Been watching a lot of wood splitting videos and most people dont

G P Guy fun watching you to go at it keep the videos coming God Bless All PaK

Very good video guy's LOVE it .God Bless .

Big Congratulations on Woodstack win!

Good video GP and GUY , great friendship great equipment and a great time was had for a neighbor. Thanks so much for sharing. This entertainment is better that TELEVISION.

They both look like nice machines. Sometimes I think the kinetic looks like it could be a bit tedious. That's just from the video and the routine it appears to help make it more efficient. Is it that bad or just another procedure and not pain? Thanks gentlemen, you make a good team. All the best to you and the family GP, thanks for all the education and entertainment that you bring to us. I very much appreciate it.

Congratulations Gord . One of the winners in Woodstack 2018 . You have a great partner with Guy .

Congratulations on the Woodstack 2018 win. I had a feeling you would win it.

I copied your 3-point carryall, works great! Towing hitch, awesome!

Good vid. Thanks for putting it up. Perfect time of year to be in the woods ! From what I could see , the kinetic definitely was faster by a fair amount. High stumps are nice when cutting firewood. Easier to work. . A Humboldt face is considerably safer when the tree being fell may hangup. But, you got er down just fine. Good job!

Congratulation for your 1st price at Woodstack! And your 4K subscribers, and happy birthday.... I am looking for a firewood splitter, Brave is my preferred option, farm equipment is a bit far but I would like to encourage them. thanks for the videos! Conrad

It's not really a race guys. It's just a friendly comparison of the features and abilities of each machine. They are splitting wood to share with the neighbors. Couple of good guys I'd be honored to live near.

Very good video GP and Good music !!!

I love the kinetic splitters, fast!

I am not a fan of the kinetic splitters because you need to ram the lever into the gear to catch the flywheels, else the pieces will clash. Good for light work, but over time that movement will hurt your arm. I prefer the hydrologic splinters. Btw, That 2-way “dual” splitter with tables looks awesome.

Another recommendation for the kinetic would be additional cutter blade patterns ( cross[4 piece], star[six piece]).

That GRIPO is top shelf

Now that was a fun video GP to watch guy is a riot ! LOL but i like them both too i would take ether one even though i have a new 35 ton dirty hand tools log splitter in the shed that has had one piece thought it ! but i dont like the table on that kinetic too small i like the ones that are up flat with the top of the rail and goes across the front and down the sides like wings like DR models i think it catches and holds the wood better but it is still a nice splitter just like to have the bigger table is all !! hope you and guy have a great weekend if you see he tell him hello from me ! from illinois .have a great weekend and up come week !! Kioti Curt :-)

We rented a dual split once. Been meaning to convert our single action to one one day.

It's away make happy to see you and other people having they safety gear on when they cutting up wood. All ways think safety 👍👍👍. I just a video on powerking wood splitter I like Grips splitter better

Congratulation for winning woodstack2018 well done gp

I vote for the orange one because I like the color, lol.

That kinetic splitter is incredible! I’ve heard the gears can wear from slamming them together however. Are you seeing that or is there a mechanical preventative measure built in? So fast! Amazing!

The Gripo is quick. I wonder if it had a round that stalled it would it be able to 'work' through it. I know with my splitter if the ram stalls I can sometimes 'work' through by quickly applying pressure and then releasing. Other than that, that Gripo looks good... Have a great weekend.

That'a a pretty heavy load of logs in the grapple, with negligible rear ballast of the empty carry-all (225 lbs maybe?) Kind of hard on the front axle and tire sidewalls. Do you have liquid ballast in the rear tires? ...just wondering.

Was there really coffee in that mug?? Kidding. You're doing great work Gary

I own one acre: dual split equip seem safer for novice helpers and safer stacking. *** The brave equipment seems a good starter. Can the accuator be made automatic? Would save time in setup as the gripo was automatic. A table can be made from large stumps on both sides of the equipment? Save energy on picking up trunk halves that need resplits. Maybe no table on opposite side and do resplits later for that set. I like the presentation on this video because it shows the equipment in action versus talk during, helps me gauge operation. Gripo fast splitting half of the wood with one man, good for two man operation, con allot of operator motion in a stooped position. Brave fast setup, fast repeat setup, controlled pace, con slower splitting and less opportunity for fast-safe two man operation.

The difference being the gripo will get stuck on gnarly wood and big knots, the dual split will go through most things, if not all that you get there.

I end up having to clean up a lot of really big downed trees every year. I block them up and then I have always had 2 guys (some times 3) wrestling the big blocks into the vertical position hof my 22 ton splitter. This year I had a friend that runs a welding shop build me a boom for the splitter. I put a hand crank winch on it and use a set of logging tongs and I can handle the big blocks alone where 2 guys really struggled with them before. I try to position the splitter slightly downhill from the blocks so that when I crank them in, they spin right into place. I leave a slight tension on the blocks as I split, then keep spinning them in place until they absolutely won't hold together anymore, then I can handle the remaining pieces with ease. I wish sometimes that I had a you tube channel so I could show yourself, Mech Uno, and Outdoors With The Morgans how I am set up. Have a great day G.P. Gary from Iowa

The kinetic may be faster but what about a knotty block?. Does it jamb will it take several shots to get through. All the videos I've seen with kinetic splitters have been clean blocks

I so like the kenetic force ones that yellow one is nice wish i dident own 3 piston power ones already i have 2 cheeper ones and heavy duty one

it would have been a bit more informative to see two stacks in the end. was the kinetic only slightly faster, or was it twice as fast ? lots of fun watching. the dual does have one advantage, you would not be out of breath in the end.

Remember those good old days before the corona epidemic, when the sun was shining, ppl were healthy, and shook hands without gloves and masks...

This was fun watching.... Just wondering something ....Do you usually cut your trees that high off the ground. After cutting wood and logs all my life I find this can be dangerous if the tree kicks back off the stump. Keep warm enjoy your videos

im more impressed with wot that little kubota tractor could do top machine

I like how the orange splitter has a blade on both sides and ya don't have to back it up and go forward again if you know what I'm talking about, speeds it up a little....how does that work, is the hydraulic piston on the bottom of the orange one

The slower Dual Split will have more torque if they have the same engine. The Gripo would cycle faster. The power is the same, used differently. Put a difficult piece of wood in and watch the Gripo struggle. Same effect as shorter vs taller gearing.

Do you find the working height a little low for the Gripo?

Great video guys. What ton rating are the two splitters?

Wood that splits that easily can be faster done with a maul, the splitter is for the gnarly stuff.

The dual direction is just like the harbor freight $1100 vs the kinetic for $2600. For less than half the price. I'd take the dual

The orange one looks a lot safer to operate

That was pretty slick. Which one really out worked the other? Both are good machines.

Hello , brave dual split is more efficient with hard wood than gripo kinetic. But the top le Split-Fire dual split because they are strong and more speed! 😉👍

I think the orange, with that back and forth action, one would do a much better job with two people running it, but those super slow moving ones drive me a little nuts. This must have been made last fall. Worst wettest we've had in a long time.

I just don't understand why they didn't change the activation handle on the gripo. It really looks like a pain to have to pull it up, especially when your gloves are wet. I would add a see - saw mechanism , Where you could just smack down one side to raise the other to pull the activation handle up. I know it's a safety thing.

Check out a couple of my videos with my Dual Splitter with a 4 way wedge. Added a bigger hydraulic pump and it splits pretty fast. Happy with it overall just don't like that you can't get to the seals easy when it's time to change them.

Buckin billy ray Smith has a grip pro too

both good splitters would both be better with a log lift though since they cant split vertically

Do you deliver wood to Sudbury?

I like the idea of the kinetic splitter BUT I preferr to split in the vertical position with large logs and I guess they won't do that.

What happens when you put a log sideways on a kinetic log splitter?

The gripo needs an upgraded table along both the end and sides.

I prefer a splitter that can split vertical and horizontal

Good video, but start watching are 4:20.

Oops, left it standing!

I started too comment that the Dual Split was almost a clone of the harbor freight. But the Harbor has a high cyclic rate. Guy: Would have matched you if he would have just let the wood fall to the ground. He lost a lot of time throwing each piece over the the carry all.

A big, huge open area, and you fall the tree into the other trees. A classic example of, why do things an easy way when there is a hard way of doing it.

What is the price difference between the two??

You've gotten quite proficient with the kinetic splitter. It's quite low. Does it come with a chair?

But can thwe fast one handle wood with knots in it???????????

I have a duel splitter from Northern Tools and after watching this video I’d say this is a totally inaccurate comparison. To get full advantage of a duel splitter you need to have two rounds on the splitter (one each side of the wedge ) also I’ve rarely had to take a full stroke to get a good split (the way Guy was). Place the round, split one direction far enough to get the next round on and split the other direction. If the first round does not split complete enough, rotate 90 degrees for the next split coming back-the first split usually falls out in the process of the next split. It’s all about technique using this machine. Not saying the duel splitter would have won this competition but it would have been much closer.

Hard to fathom why anyone would select hydraulic over a kinetic machine.
