Nice splitter! Ive got the same one in a countyline version. If you get tired of chips loading up in the rail, i put it up vertically, grabbed a big round of wood, sat it by the hydraulic lever, added a cushion on top the round to sit on, and it was the easiest day splitting! And you dont have to lift big heavy rounds!

Firstly, it's been awhile since I have been able to watch your videos so interesting face wool going on. Now just a suggestion if you're storing this unit outside, consider putting wrapping on the hoses, UV light and rubber are not conducive to a long life and at the cost of replacing is something to consider. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Kinetic splitters are amazing if you have consistent, fairly straight wood and don't try to feed them larger diameter rounds. Where they really start to suffer is when the wood is tangled, tough, or irregular. Need to have fairly regular face cuts as well, angles can try and force the blade off path, against it's stops. Eventually it's blade gets sloppy and you bend the drive rod. If I go old school for the comparison, think of a kinetic splitter like a splitting axe versus the hydraulic which is more akin to the maul. If you could blast through it with the splitting axe, so would the kinetic. If you're thinking it would take a few thumps with the splitting maul, you'd probably want the hydraulic splitter.

I have a 28ton that's basically the same. After a couple seasons with it here's my 2 cents: Get one with a push plate that pushes the wood THROUGH the blade, as opposed to this style that has the blade pushing through the wood. And get one with optional 4, 6, or more blades. And an outfeed table. And possibly a lift arm/working table. Or, looking at that pile of woods behind you, just invest in a "cheap" firewood processor. Something that can just draw up the long trunks, cut at the point of the splitter, split, outfeed, and convey to an IBC tote! But, they aren't cheap, but neither is my time. Love your content!

It's made by Speeco. They make a lot of stuff and put other company's names on it... Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, County Line, Northern Tool, etc... I bought a 22-ton Huskee from Tractor Supply several years ago that was made by them. A decent unit that has served me well so far. Kinda wish they'd built them with the wedge at the end and the push plate at the cylinder. About my only complaint. They make a 37-ton that has the log lifter attached, in case anyone is interested. My lifting is done with a bucket loader. Someone had previously mentioned elm. That was the only wood that was able to stop my splitter dead in it's tracks.

I love it it’s quick and I got county lines, four-way wedge, which I love because it’s not a permanent item.

Always in the 20 ton range, this thing looks fast. There was never a log I could not split with a lower tonnage or HP. Just took a for more seconds. I use to cut a lot of wood, like 30 cord a year. Best workout ever skip the gym an cut wood for 4 weekends total of 8 days and you will see. Pick it up, cut it, throw it, load it, unload it, and stack it. Then you need to carry it into the house.. Done cutting wood. Pellets baby. Until I broke my arm picking a bag of pellets up. Still on pellets.

I agree, Stan never buy. Anything that you're going to be using to it maximum every time you use it. Because it takes all, it's got to do what you need done. You're gonna wear it out far quicker. And that replacement cost is far more than just buying a more powerful machine to start out. That's the same reason I'm not a fan of 4 cylinder pickup trucks me personally, I don't even like a forced cylinder pick up. Yeah, you may have the power with a Turbo, but you're having to dream that thing every time you have a trailer behind it. Whereas if you had AV a, she's pulling that trailer with no effort. And you'd think that 4 cylinder is gonna last as long no way.

Alright... let me give my 2 cents. I have a wood furnace and burn about 8 to 10 cords year. I live in New England with ash, oak, maple,... and some stuff I cant identify..lol. If I cut it down it gets split. \ I dont do it commercially and if you do that is a whole other ball game. I have found guys get crazy on "bigger is better". Guys who do 4 cords a year feel they need something huge. Bigger is not always better. There are very few pieces of wood I cant split with my little 8 ton troy-bilt unit. If I cant split it I just throw it away and move on and I just split 3 ash trees this weekend with only 2 or 3 pieces that I did not split. Honestly I probably7 could have split them if I dicked around but its just not worth the time. Its easy to move around, quick, about 18" off the ground and as the stack goes down I just move it closer... by hand. I can really make good time with it and I have used bigger units and dont save time. When Im done, I just wheel it into the corner of my shed. Unless your getting one with a hydraulic table, your going to bust your ass no matter how many tons it can push. Also, If your burning wood its probably because you like to save money. If your spending thousands on a splitter your not really saving money although some guys love to kid themselves into thinking they are. (80k pickup, 40k tractor, 2k, log splitter, 3k in chainsaws...etc.. and of corse the stuff is all spotless.... yeah, your saving nothing you just like to buy toys) we know the type.
