Hahaha, the umpire, "you're out splitter!"Bring in the heavy hitter!"

Maybe a cup should be added to your PPE. On second thought, a new Eastonmade is a better and safer option. Look forward to seeing what's new in the woodyard!

I have the 42 ton version of that same manufacturers kinetic log splitter. When it was new it would not hardly split anything, the clutch system on the motor side they used was junk and slipped all the time and it would not split hardly anything. I contacted the manufacturer and they sent out a pulley to replace the clutch system, you then adjust the belt tension accordingly. Since then I have not had a problem with it splitting hardly anything unless it has a lot big knots. It was a difference between night and day after the change. Get rid of that junky clutch system they have if yours has it and replace it with a standard pulley. Adjust the belt where its somewhat tight but will slip if it gets it a real bind. I used mine to now split oak, and hickory some up 18 to 20"

I recently got a super split and I found (and Joe has mentioned this too) that you don't really need to run it at full RPMs to be effective. This helps the ram come out slower and not as violent. The flywheels do the work, the speed isn't as important as it is with a hydraulic splitter. They do great with straight grain stuff like you'd use for bundles. Fast and accurate

LMAO🤣 The " What do you mean, that is enuff! We just got started." Priceless! Looking forward to seeing new equipment for the woodyard Pro- cess.👍

I would get rid of it. Rachel is right. That's enough

Love it looks like somebody is getting a vertical splitter

Sharpen the wedge I have electric one. It works real good.

LOL, looks like help is on the way. Rachel taking care of business again. 😀

My kinetic machine, heath runs two belts which i believe helps

Lol. The laugh was the best part. I think a couple of things to note about the powerking vs supersplit. Supersplit runs a considerably smaller pusher which will help a lot of splitter tougher wood. Judging by the speed the flywheels are smaller on the powerking, this will make it faster but really sacrifice power

Sweet!! Can’t wait to see what you got👍💪👍

Time to send that thing a long. Never liked those types of splitters. Eastonmade Ultra is the answer. You would think there would be more than one belt to run those flywheels. Have a great weekend.

Was just watching your video with the kinetic splitter. You need to either sell that splitter or trade for a harbor freight two way splitter it's safer and cheap, from retired woodchuck chuck

Try dry graphite spray lube on the rails. It won't gum up collecting dirt and dust.

New subscriber here from northwest Pa. Enjoy your videos!

Damn...she's got connections!!! :)

Wow! Rachel is definitely a problem solver! Was this followed by a trip to the ER?

Super splits use dual belts on the flywheel.

the set up is nice, the Ultra or Axis is a Better Re split Machine,

That splitter wood work good for kindling. All my splitters are single wedge so I don’t re-split a lot .. but I do keep split-fires 1165 (electric ) with bundlers . If you get a ultra or axis you won’t be disappointed. I enjoyed the ones I have.

Rachel calls in the big guns🙂. (Hard Working Man, & Woman, please apply abundant caution and care. Great work there. God[Bible] Bless all your home).

I was thinking I would get rid of it 👍

Looks like it’s time to add another splitter…Eastonmade Ultra for re-splits!

by the sounds it is making when you were dragging the ram out , it sounds like you have a stuffed bearing , i could be wrong though , looks like a good unit though , i have got a 34 ton forestwest

That splitter needs to go!!! That thing is dangerous. Looks like whoever Rachel called is takin thing’s pretty seriously by seeing that truck rolling in. 😂😂. Y’all be careful and keep up the great work. Bruce in Wv!!!

Looking forward to what you get. Seems like the flywheel on kinetic is not heavy enough to drive it thru.

nicely staged intro to the upgrade ;-)

With that truck load you should find something on it to solve your problems. 👍Waiting to see which one you get.

I'm going to withhold judgement on Heath's "protective gear" for now, but it's nice to see that the Wood Bunny is out of the hutch!! 🐇

Try adding some grip tape to the ram face. Should help to prevent the logs from slipping out

digging the PPE... LOL

Didn't realize that was belt /wheel driven. If you please.. How does it return the ram? If it's too complicated, that's ok. Don't give up. Still a pretty cool splitter! :) Safety tip: tie tongue to something heavy or chuck wheels?

Time to find another owner!!

I got this same model about 8 months ago to help out with my hydraulic splitter. It should not exist. Have all the same issues you do. No way to resell it because it just won’t perform. I got a used DR kinetic with 75lb flywheels and it is night and day difference. I think the power king flywheels are just too small for a kinetic and they tried to make up the difference with speed.

Hope your protective gear went below the belt buckle heath. I would use my fiskars splitting axe before I used that pile of scrap metal. Bet it's a nice new splitters dream machine 🎉

Sweet !!!!!!

One single belt. Very small wheels. I can't see what could be wrong with this thing. Compare this to a Super Split.

hi there well dressed man , going to have to fight the woman away , john

IF you wanted to persist with that machine I'd be dropping the revs and potentially bolting another flywheel onto the existing pair. The lack of power is a function of the amount of mass and how fast it's spinning. You don't really want it coming out any faster but some more oomph wouldn't go astray.

Good God, man. Get rid of that thing. Like I said, had I known it wouldn’t have handled resplits I’d of never given it to you.

I've split hundreds of cords with my Super Split. Also do a lot of resplits on processor wood I buy in. Zero issues in 10yrs. I don't like this machine you have here. Personally, I would recommend selling this for safty and performance reasons.

should weld some tubes on the front of it, so you can make a table and slide it into the tubes, so its over the tongue and wood dont fly on ground

Since when are flip flops worn when splitting

Worried about his safety glasses meanwhile she’s in her safety sandals 😂

Be aware! Mine tends to move when working with it. The movement of the ram when going back pushes the whole machine. When having it on the ramps - this might end in a Desaster. Mine does not make any problems even with much bigger logs. It is written in my manual that the bolts connecting the flywheel and the axle between the flywheels does have to have 12 nm torque. I am not sure but it maybe is an overloadprotection.

Not sure if I'd let a tenderfoot run the power King . ! Box splitter to the rescue .

well, that plan didn't come together. Da Boys got hit again. I've never been a fan of kinetic splitters. i looked at a DR long ago but went for a craftsman 27 ton years ago. slow and steady but she gets the job done. I'm just splitting for myself anyway. i only go through about 4 cord a year, heating the whole house. truckload of splitters...how cool is that.

Dang i comment before end video now see getting 3rd bes

dont tighten the belts what ever you do , the belts are supposed to work like a clutch , they are supposed to slip when the ram reaches full depth , so as to not smash the pinion or bend other bits as i found out the hard way , i have a 34 toner , i smashed teeth off of the pinion and bent other bits , just buy a much bigger splitter

Seems like it could hurt someone 😢

Slow down the RPMs on engine

I’ve got a Super Split. I wouldn’t ever use this machine!

Need more gear Heath!!! Rachel..... save him from hisself!!

hello my friends how much does it cost per quintal the wood in america thank you very much,, bacioni rascheL by Marilena Bay,,,,💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋🙈🙈🙈🙈

I thick you bought the wrong splitter

If you get hit just in the right spot Rachel will have to find another hard working man to take care of business. If you know what I mean.

Yall already have the 2 best splitters get rid of it

Lol; so you covered everything but the family jewels? 😂😂😂😂 So it’s not really a power king…. I think kinetic splitters are pretty cool. OWB swears by his super split but that is the Cadillac for kinetics…

Did not like that machine very much ! Could see the possibility of a nasty accident happening .

You cut your blocks too long!!

Oh no... More Eastonmade stuff going to a KZfaqr. HWM was one of the last ones. Unfortunate

It's not working good because it's not a super split

Pc of junk like said in the first video

unfortunately your splitter looks like a peice of crap , its piss weak

Is that a used pill bottle you're putting that hardware in? My wife is always yippin' at me for saving them. I'm gonna show her this to demonstrate how useful they are. lol I'll tell you what is wrong with that splitter. The energy delivered is the mass of the flywheels times the rpm. The flywheels are too small. But ,if you try to increase the energy by increasing the pully ratio it will be way too fast. And in my opinion it's way too fast as it is. That thing is going to seriously hurt someone. The problem is not your rails, it is the diameter/mass of the flywheels. I've had a SuperSplit for fifty years. It stores it's energy in two seventy pound flywheels. I am sorry to tell you that you need to take it back and consider a SuperSplit. Shalom/gw (EE retired) PS Goto youtube or the web and look up flywheel physics.
