@jasonracette6143 7 ай бұрын

Hi Joe, when the Super Split is not able to split a log in one stroke, once the ram is retrieved, wait two or tree seconds for the flywheels to get back up to speed and you will only need to hit that log one more time. My father purchased a Super Split in the late 70's and had it for about 25 years before he sold it to another guy who processed firewood. What an awesome machine! Keep up the great work!

Greetings Joe, Elaine from Canada here, nice to see you enjoying the fall weather, our cooler days & frosty nights are upon us. I had to engage my morning brain when I heard you say that later “We will give the epilogue of the apple log”. Ha ha ha! And yes, I will gladly say “ hello” to your little (red) friend. I always enjoy seeing you bring out the ol’ Super Split. It was showing off with those great camera angles! As a natural gas furnace user, I’m curious to know if you burned apple wood (or cherry) in your home boiler, would the aroma noticeably infuse into your house? Have a great week.

The big Apple orchards in my area cut the trees down after so many years of productions. Maybe every 30 years ish... They do them in rotation so every 5 years they will cut a certain sections and replant.They always have apples this way. Anyhow...if you could contact orchards during cutting times. You could get semi loads of them! I have 2 in a yard to take down right now. Just waiting for the leaves to fall off and the frost to chase the bees away!🤠

@truthhurts8551 7 ай бұрын

I'm still not convinced that is apple. You cut 17 rounds without a much of a sign of a fork. At 16" long per round that puts the crown of the tree at least 22 ft off the ground. Grain is also way too straight to resemble any apple I've ever encountered. Barks too thin and smooth. All traits that are extremely rare in an apple tree. Thanks for letting me express my doubts.

its more comfortable to hold with the flat side up. When I vid I also change somethings so I don't block the camera
