The cycle time on the 40 Ton is much faster than your old splitter! That's gonna speed up your production time quite a bit! Great purchase decision

Great video. Good job.Young man!!!!!

Your did real review with knotty wood. Some only do with straight grain and lot easier. I had 22 ton and upgraded to 40 ton. Big difference in time. My neck isn’t sore anymore and go out of woods in half time.

Very thorough review. I have the Countyline 25 Ton model and am well pleased with it.

10 thumbs up for showing what this spiller can do! Its a beast! I was looking around for a good review on this splitter because i`m about to buy one. Your review was as real as can be, which made my decision much easier. Thank you!

'' THE BEAST IS IN THE YARD'' great video buddy. 40 Ton is for sure enough power.

Nice video I split oversize logs mostly. Mine is mostly used in upright position.I learned to put thick plywood down in front of upright splitter. I even cut a spot out for the beam foot to sit in. I get home depos 70% off damaged 3/4 treated plywood, its from the top of the stack thats warped and separating. 30" logs move a lot easier and it brings the wood up, so you dont have to push it tight to the beam. just FYI When driving on bumpy dirt roads or similar with log splitter let some air out of tires so it dont bounce the hell out of the machine. Just fyi

I bought the predecessor to your splitter a few years ago. It hasn’t found a round or a crotch piece that it hasn’t split. Starts 1st or 2nd pull every time. Mine has a 10 second cycle time and I’ve split about 60 cords of mostly red oak without any issues. It’s the only splitter that I couldn’t find any negative reviews on when I researched mine.

Congratulations, you're going to love it, I bought mine about 18 months ago, it has chewed through oak, maple and sweet gum like it wasn't there; it's a beast! Did get a bit ornery when I bought it, was hooking it up to the hitch an didn't have a pin. The whelp stressed the word buy when he said you can go inside and BUY a pin. I stood up and looked at him and said, "look, I just forked out thousands for this, you should give me a dollar pin!"......... Nothing but blank stares. Oh well, drove it home and it growls!

Nice video! Well done. Thanks!

I went from a champion 37 to this county line 40 & love it. For the logs I run into that are too long I lay em down & split the ends. Usually work pretty good. 👍🏽

Very good machine and built well 😊 Good luck 👍

Just subscribe to you good video nice machine you Bought Seems to split wood very nicely So you all have a good day stay safe stay healthy stay happy and we'll catch you on another My friend

Nice one, take care, from U.Kingdom.

I have the 25 ton Countyline. It’s no problem splitting 30 inch diameter Oak in the vertical position. It is a very fast machine!👍

I can ABSOLUTELY understand buying a splitter from a big box store. I did the same thing. Commercial grade splitters are just crazy expensive. If I was just splitting wood for myself, 6, 8, or 10 cord a year, it would be fine. But it's the weakest point of processing firewood in my woodyard. I'm frustrated all day long when using it, because it's where my processing bottlenecks to almost a dead stop. I've got a TSC County Line 25 ton splitter, and I've got nothing bad to say about it, other than it's painfully slow. I'm afraid that you're going to find out the same thing about yours. But if you're just using it for your own personal use, you may be happy with it. Oh ya, that 40 ton is even slower than my 25 ton.

That is a super machine, small, maneouverable, versatile, powerful and effective. The only back breaking work is heaving wood to and from it. I couldn't do that. I have a bad back and I'm an old London city boy now out in the country so out of my natural habitat really. We have our wood delivered part prepared into pieces 1 metre long and about max 15 cm across, not too heavy for me, the delivery man stacks them neatly in the barn. I load them into a frame about ten at a time, three strokes with my chainsaw sees fourty 25 cm long pieces fall on the floor. I then sit among them on a milking stool and throw all fourty into a wheelbarrow for my wife to take away and stack under shelter. We now keep enough stock to have a three year cycle allowing plenty of drying time. We are aged 70 and 66, neither in best of health, not strong and tire easily so we work at our own pace. We only burn about 4 cubic metres per year in our small living room log burner which takes only one or two pieces at a time. The burner can produce 7 kw of heat and our ventilation system moves that heat through the house, extracting heat from exhaust air to warm the cold incoming air. The burner has two flues, for exhaust and fresh cold air inlet, when the glass door is shut the fire is isolated from the room and heats by convection and radiation. It burns very very hot and produces no visible smoke. Highly efficient German Schiedel brand. We have an insulated Passiv Haus which needs very little heating plus we have underfloor electric heating (which we hardly ever use as the wood burner is usually sufficient), and aircon for the summer, all powered by photovoltaic panels on the roof. We have excess electricity in the summer and sell that to the grid. The wood burner is a nice-to-have plaything if I'm honest, we don't need it but it is enjoyable to have and use. All the KZfaq firewood production videos fascinate me with their home brewed Heath Robinson contraptions. I see such variety in people's circumstances, capabilities, finances and needs. Everybody eventually finds what works for them. It took us four winters of experimentation to arrive at our optimum manageable system. Best wishes to all firewood producers wherever you are.

I was looking at a 37ton lumberjack splitter

I don't feel good reheat with would I cut quite a bit of wood I really enjoy watching chainsaws and Whispers at work thank you for the video

Excellent video. Thank you. How much did that splitter set you back? Please do periodic reviews on it as you use it.

I think some of the bigger woodyards could make use of that Agri-Fab lawn vac to clean up better.

Run an Eastonmade and let us know what you think. Personally, I like my Eastonmade 12-22 and SuperSplit for the smaller stuff. Shalom/gw

I've got 6 inch ram ,10hp.diesel done quite a few modifications, exhaust pointing straight onto the ram ,like your wedge it doesn't reach the end block by over 3 inches so I've built a block so it goes right to the end with a small V for the wedge to fit into which is real handy when ur wood is Australian gum ,I've just bought a 2 stage pump which I havnt fitted yet ,looks exactly the same ,$180 so will see how that goes ?

I have a 30 ton and found to stand up easier, run the ram to the other end before standing it up. less weight to lift by shifting some weight to the foot end.

If you have a set of fork lifts and tractor I would build a table I could put the splitter on and run the splitter as a vertical. You could use the tractor to load the table with wood and it would be easier to split wood.

Is easy for people to say your new splitter is slow when comparing it to splitters that cost 5x the money. I upgraded sooner than my budget was comfortable just for the log lift. Glad I did, as it saves my back so much. To get a log lift cheaper, I would've been better off getting a Ruggedmade. Now that machine might be a better budget friendly version for you, if you want a log lift. Otherwise split away until you wear this one out.

I tilt my 40 T upwards so I can get as mush oil in as possible. The trick is to put the oil cap back on before you lower it so the oil doesn’t dump out!!

You’re going to find, you bought more machine than you needed. My little “25-ton” country pro is only building 1500 psi out of 3600 psi possible to CUT elm knots. Means it’s only making 9.5 ton to cut knots.

Doesn't Tractor Supply sell 2" ball hitches?😉

that should split anything you throw at it. I have a 28 ton splitter and it has split everything I've fed it. Including lots of hard wood, big diameter

When county line go gray because I thought they were yellow??

Why do you need a splitter to do that soft gear. Wouldn't it be quicker to do it by hand

Don’t u have to use seat belts in your country?

What speed did you tow that splitter home?

What’s the cost 💲

Easier to stand up if you run the ram out. Put some moldy disulfide lube under the edges of the slide is good for it.

It seems to be kinda slow but for the money you can't have everything

watch your fingers in vertical mode. the wedge bolts like to bite. DAMHIK

I thought your demonstration was great, but you didn't wear safety googles and a piece of wood almost shot into your eye, please be careful.

That thing is really set up backwards and it is very slow.

Go buy yourself a hitch lock, otherwise someone will be rolling down the road with your splitter!

Hello from Northern Virginia, just subscribed, One Thing about most box store splitters they are slow, but split anything! We have the 27 ton Crimson from Rural King store🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
