Good morning Joe, That was very interesting to watch. I've split a lot of elm and it can be awkward but it makes top quality firewood. Just an observation, the knives on the Japa perfect split are probably half the thickness of some on competitors machines I've seen,which are to me, way too thick and cause wood to jam or flip over on the more open wedges. The knives on my machine ( which I made myself as the originals were junk) are only 8mm thick. I keep them sharp and I've never bent or broken one yet. This is a huge advantage and tells me Japa have done a great job in designing their machines. Keep splitting 🇬🇧

Modern Elm does not grow as large in diameter before mother nature kill it, but it burns like its counterpart of the 1950's. Great BTU's & appetite from loading unto trailer & processing same. Too bad it is disappearing like Ash, Ironwood & Beech Trees.

Have you ever split hickory on your 405? I've have hand split hickory many time's and it is one of the hardest wood to split even on my 35 ton log splitter. The next hardest wood is hedge it's a very hard wood. Hedge is so hard it like a rock. Hand splitting hedge wood takes hours to split with wedges. Even my 35 ton log split has a very hard time splitting the hedge wood. So I challenge you and you 405 to split hickory and hedge if y'all have hickory and hedge in Ohio.

I would give a guy down the street that sold fire wood all my elm. Him and his dad built a splitter with a 6 inch ram out of a trash truck. I beam look like a bridge beam lol had a winch (hand crank) I had a agreement with him that if he wanted it he had to take good bad and ugly. So that is why the ole man built the splitter so he could split them big ole y s and knots.he wood bring a 40 foot gooseneck and man did I load him down his dad would get so mad at me but oh well. That splitter had a cycle that took about 3 minutes just to come back lol. Even that crazy thing wouldn’t split those red elm. Now u have the easy elm we call it white elm and it splits pretty easy but if u get some red cedar elm just toss it in the fire pit. Ole Herald bell was his name and he sold the crap out of it and mix it up with that junk cotton wood slab stuff 5 inches of bark and 3 wood. Cheap wood that takes a lot to produce. Poore people have poore ways

Ever tried Black Gum? Even worse then Elm or just as tough. Sycamore too really stringy and holds a lot of water 💧
