They probably forgot to put the jack up before towing it! Went over a bump and bottom out! Ask me how I know? Just saying... Danger Will Robinson!

Hi Taryl: Just a little note, I'm an electromechanical engineering tech with experience in automation repair, maintenance and installation/construction. But I know diddly about small engines, and we just had an ice storm wander across southern Ontario. A big pine tree fell over in my front yard and needed to be sawed up. Paying someone to do it is too costly for me, so I used the only tool I had, an ancient Pioneer chainsaw left to me by my father, that hadn't been started in a good 5 years. Thanks to your videos, I got it going, sharpened, and chopped up that tree. Living in rural Canada, we are pretty much dependent on small engines for snowblowers, chainsaws, generators, lawn tractors, weed whackers, and the list goes on. Thanks to your videos I am capable of doing a lot of repairs on the small engines I have. So, thank-you Taryl, for doing what you do, showing us noobs what tools to buy, what tricks to use, what parts to get and are available. All of that knowledge has proven to be valuable.

This where a rose bud would come in handy.

The two levers makes it auto split and auto return, so moving both levers forward alows you to walk away and get the next log ready while the cylinder cycle forward and auto retracts

One of your best videos.A face shield and safety glasses saved me one time.

Nice splitter!! Like how you used the ram to assist in straightening!!

"shake hands with danger" fits this log splitter (thanks old caterpillar safety videos) this thing actually looks like a piece of equipment that could have been in that video tbh, cool to see it run and operate, but man that thing looks like it would be quite dangerous to operate if you weren't paying 125% attention to what was going on at all times, glad you didn't get hurt too bad Taryl, knotted wood can be dangerous even with a chainsaw (kickback for those who don't know), stay safe out there guys

Keep up the good work Taryl, glad you didn't lose your teeth.

when Taryl reaches for cutters when hes got a blow torch right there. I was like awe fire fire fire

This is great, instructional and entertainment. Good job Taryl a collector forsure.

I’ve been hurt a few times splitting wood myself glad you didn’t get cut too bad thanks for sharing

Thank you for your videos!

Lucky! Been enjoying your videos for years. Thanks for reminded us PPE is important when using some equipment.

By far the BEST CHANNEL ON THE TUBE. BOTH UR CHANNELS ARE THE BEST!!! LOVE YOU GUYS

I’m a metal worker/ welder. A few well placed gussets would have gone along way. The addition of angel iron was a good move. The welding well I’m just gonna go with “ it ain’t the space shuttle” on this one lol. Got the job done though. Your experience on motors and lawn equipment is second to none. Love the channel.

Ive been enjoying the skits you guys make, very good. And a good job refurbishing that log splitter. cheers my friends!

Been watching you for years. Always amazed at your ingenuity.

Love ya taryl keep up the great work

Lots of great tricks for fixing the rewind. Didn't know about the slipknot. There's my Sunday Brunch. P.S. I wonder if someone took the return spring out of the extend valve. It would be nice to have an accumulator on the retract valve too. I've seen better home built splitters. Sorry about the splitter injury, I have wondered about it. Could have been much worse than what happened. Dodged a bullet! Thanks Taryl

Glad you're ok buddy, good job

I enjoy you videos, they are helpful and funny, keep it up !!

Thanks for the video 👍

It’s missing it’s catch plate at the end of the split and it has an auto cycle valve. Push the 2 handles forward and it should push and retract on its own.

I love watching your videos there funny entertaining and educational and like the way you did the extra support that's the way it should had been done when it was built and thought for a minute add another jack to the other side to give it even more support when it's not hooked on a truck hitch

Thank you for the video Knoxville TN.

Taryl faces his fear of log splitters head on!

Great video! Thank you sir!

That splitter was a dangerous stupid design. I serviced one and the owner built it himself. A piece of supper engineering. After servicing the engine I watched the owner split a log lager than what Taryl was splitting and this splitter went through that log like a hot knife through butter. Best engineering I have ever seen. Sad part the owner died 2 weeks later killed by Covid.

" So when that animal pulls on the rope" I lost it laughing 🤣😂😝🤣😂😝

Fun video to watch Taryl. Always interesting to see you repair things. Feel cheated though, coz you didn't attack the Cabutraitor LOL!!

I warned an employee of the power of a 5hp rototiller. He scoffed at me. He didn't believe. Until one day, while loading a machine into a pick up, it got away from him. Trying to pull back on it to stop the forward movement the machine pulled him up the ramps and only stopped dragging him when it reached the forward part of the bed. Red faced and puffing like he just went a 3 rounds with Joe Frasier I asked him, "Why didn't you just let go of the handle bars?" He had new respect for machinery. Glad you didn't get seriously injured.

Glad you're ok! I sometimes get attacked by my own tools

Terrel you might have to use your torch on your nose and bend it back in place. Ha ha ha.

Wow, you remember "Smokey Stover" ?? Cartoon by Bill Holman until 1972, you don't seem old nuff (I'm inchining up on 75). I enjoy your videos every day!!! And have purchased great products from your website. Thanks again.

Awesome video, as always. So sorry about your nose, buddy. Must have hurt like hell!

MUY BUEN TRABAJO 👍

Scary machine! Close call too. Good fix 👍

Glad your ok

Seeing the controls work, I said "That's weird". And a second later you said "Pretty weird log splitter" haha

That is the coolest log splitter I've ever seen.

That's a nice machine

i love watching taryl. i learned so much from him. what an awesome guy

Hi Taryl , you are working on an Easton made splitter made in Perth Ontario Canada, there shop is about 10 mins down the road from my house. Nice job fixing it up for the guys that need it . Cheers man. 🍻 love the videos and the information you share.

A few things: 1) That initial stroke is really slow compared to what it would have been from the factory. 2) It is missing a stabilizer leg under the wedge, and an aluminum catch pan on the front. 3) You typically run with three people - one loading logs on the lift, one person loading the next round and running the controls, and one person to move the wood away from the catch pan. That machine has definitely seen some use over the years...

Glad your ok Taryl ! Remember on your welds its a log splitter not a space shuttle lol

That slip knot idea 👍oh y’a had that rope retract a few times before getting the handle on 😂

That is a serious wood splitter. It would make short work of the softwood rounds we have in the Intermountain west. You're splitting hardwood. When it dries you'll have really good fuel for those Midwest winters. Great video as usual.

Sometimes projects bite us back 😅 glad you're ok 👍

Luv power equiptment!

Sounds like the Lawn Mower Detectives should be called in for an abuse investigation.

I still have the watch last weeks episode because I have been busy as of late !

Wow that is an advanced log splitter. It's hard to belive that the owner don't take better care of the machine. Another great fix by Taryl Dactal. And There's Your Dinner!!!

As I’m watching this video, my 3 year old asks me, is that Taryl Dactal?’ Lol

It helps to know how to split knotty wood but hey you're the boss.😆

Always look forward to A New Taryl video always Educational and Comical Thank You

Good safety lesson!

Glad that you're OK. Sarry to hear about the naughty wood hitting you.

Where's my Desert?!

GEE thanks Taryl now OSHA will want you to wear nose guards too LOL

Mad Respect Big T! We know you can do more with 9 fingers than most people can with all ten, but dont just go loppin em off now for views!

Another great video teaching are youth how to be mechanics not just parts changers. And yes keep one eye on your work at all times. Murphy's law still with us.

I'm glad the first splitting did not hit the door of the studio

good one tarryle a same size bloke of australian yellow box or iron bark and that machine would have had a corinary love your shows any way you have tought me a lot

You crazy Taryl! Sorry about your nose, but it looks good! Great vid.

I have an Homemade Log splitter with a old Army Green Wisconsin Engine, Splits wood like crazy, while I was splitting a knot less piece of wood I noticed the engine dropped RPMs and really grunted just as I let go of the lever DANG a 4”X16” to the side hitting a metal building 10’ away and ripped a 2”X 1/2” gap, really makes you think, Always wear your PPE

oh man i hope you heal up well. im so glad your ok mr taryl

OK Terrel I subscribe to your channel Terrel fixes all skits! You’re a pretty smart fella, and I love your videos! The whole crew was great! Thanks for putting out these videos. We appreciate y’all.

You almost took out those hydraulic lines with that log

I love Eastonmade splitters! If you push both splitting levers it will auto return...

Splittin' logs and splittin' Taryls

Fricken savages I tell ya...😂

You had those two battries go dead at exactly the same time. That tree has made your shop some kinda bermooda triangle!

I’m still laid up from my bout with the killer tiller. I felt just a bump on my leg and had an eight inch long cut that cut a blood vein. Didn’t last long after I cut that vein before I passed out. You don’t realize how you have to be on your guard because these machines have a certain element of danger in their use. I haven’t got back out to my shop yet but I still will have to figure out that tiller. I may have to throw apiece of metal over the tines to put my foot on to start it. Then I will probably just sell it but I’m wondering if I shouldn’t take the engine off of it so that it can not be used. Good luck Taryl and stay safe!!!

I just had a crapsman brigs n scrap em with one of them craptastic plastic carpentraters on it, and it had a plastic needle valve. Bastidges. That log splitter amazes me. In Washington state, we put one round atop another and go around the perimeter with a maul till it breaks into about ten pieces. IT'S A LOT QUIETER. You just sharpen the maul and use a wedge. Faster work. But for younger Sasquatches.

Taryl gets injured and somehow makes it funny

I like your show

Great job on the repair of that abused piece of equipment and thankfully you were not injured more seriously from that damn log splitter…👍👍👍

Years ago I released a quick connect on the hose of a portable compressor and didn't realize it was wrapped around the handle, and as it popped off it unwrapped itself right into my nose!! Needless to say it left a cut that looks real similar to yours, and oh did it bleed!! Still have a scare to this day to remind me not to do that again!!

Slippers knot.... LMAO

You gotta watch out for that naughty wood. Glad it didn't hit ya in them pearly whites. Excellent job on the repair.

Tree carma😂. And did Ronnie take your pull rope handles?

slippers said that knotty tree was real naughty to Taryl .....bab beeeee

I can see a number of improvements this machine needs to justify its cost.

That thing needs a log catch table badly to prevent the operator from needing to pick up every chunk that needs re splitting

Dudes i've been wanting a skits channel ever since me and my ole' dad discovered this channel.

Where did your video go of you on vacation on that cruise ship? That was my favorite of all time.🤓

Two inches higher, it would have had your eyes out! ⚠️ You also court danger as I do. Just a couple of weeks ago I was trying to find an air leak on our forklift truck. I was working on it with the engine running, and following the stream of bubbles in the fuel lines - I found a clip that was loose on one of the lines, so I pushed the clip along the line, looking for where it came from. I pushed the fingers of my left hand ( I'm left handed too) straight into the radiator fan. I managed to mangle all five fingers. Your right about one thing - These machines are dangerous, if not to say lethal.

Glad you’ll be ok Taryl

We used to have an old log spitter that for real was dangerous.. you put the log (much smaller than this) on a very fast conveyor belt and than transported the log into 2 "cogwheels" where the log got pinched in between so it split and then it shot out the back. Well there was a cover over all of this except the conveyor belt and there was a rubber flap on the back that would slow down the logs so they didn't shoot out too far away. But didn't always stop them and sometimes it shot the log back at you 😅

That box frame you are first welding on, needs an angle iron welded to it also ,! but haa, that's a knotty problem there, besides a "dinner."

GLAD YOUR OK ......... GOOD VIDEO THANKS Ed Loretto Ontario Canada

What the heck are "bad dead trees?" Smiley with Taryl teeth missing in our toolbox😅

Smokey Stover!? You're showing your age Taryl! 😂😂😂

I have always been told size doesn't matter. 😂

teryl, you duh man. you done fix everting real good, tanks buddy

That's a Eastonmade Splitter. Those machines are sweet

Geez Taryl, be careful!

Need to get a rosebud tip for that torch.

Thanks be to God your ok taryl. Glad your ok. Thank you for another great video about safety. 😄🤣😂 Nice work otherwise. That was probably one of your easiest fixes yet.

Can confirm tree guys are animals lol, the amount of sht they break, over overload trailers and stuff... ;)
