So, I got a screamin' deal on this brand-new unit. It was $575 plus $40 shipping off of amazon. I usually see these for over $700. In this video I unbox it and get it assembled. This isn't technically a "how to" video as I didn't know what I was doing and messed it up multiple times. Please watch part 2. Thanks for watching!

I figured something out on this Splitter. To Minimize chance of Piston damage, Decide your Maximum firewood length then Cut a piece of 4x4 or 6x6 lumber to take up all but 1"-2" inches of the Gap when fully retracted. Place it on the Piston side of the pieces being split. Results: (1)Minimized Travel - Keeping the Piston extension to a minimum. (2)Minimize Cycle time. *Note - pay attention to not over extend and damage the Lumber spacer.

It looks like you got a nice little kindling splitter

You'll be surprised what it can split - definitely not just for kindling.

I have one. It's amazing- very powerful. I've been using it for4 months. I built a box w Ramp so it's chest high. I split mostly oak and cherry. It doesn't like weather below 5 degrees. I'm trying to find out about putting 10w hydraulic instead of what's in it now. I don't know if there is a drain plug or if I have to get a pump.

I would just remove the clear hose clamped to the bottom of the hydraulic oil reservoir to drain it if I remember correctly.

i am owner of -bilt 6.5 ton elec. splitter for 2 yrs & just bought superhandy electric 14ton on prime day for $440 but original price was $900+. im curious since u r wen previous owner how is the noise compare to gas engine superhandy? sounds this gas engine is a lot louder? is it really a lot powerful compare to wen splitter? tyia

@skywatcherranchswr 9 ай бұрын

The electric ones are much more quiet which is great, and with no emissions you can split indoors which is great if it's raining and you want to split in the garage. Though the gas ones are loud, you can't beat the power of an engine running the pump. This superhandy powers through logs the Wen could never split

Did you notice a big difference in a power between Champion 7 ton and this splitter?

@skywatcherranchswr 5 ай бұрын

I honestly think they were about the same in power but the champion was wayyyy better built. I miss it. The superhandy was riddled with flaws and I sold it.

@naturewatcher7596 5 ай бұрын

@@skywatcherranchswr Ok, so when this will die I'll replace it with Champion 7 tons then - I've got 3 years plan now for my new Superhandy, so I hope it'll make so far.

@naturewatcher7596 if you bought your superhandy new, I'd take full advantage of their warranty. From what I've read, they are really good about replacing breakage.
