Looking at this Harbor Freight model and the Bilt Hard, which is the same price (actually only $279 from one supplier) and is 15 amp, 6.5 ton, so I think my choice is obvious. I still don't care for the fact you need to shut the motor off for the ram to come back. There are a few if the 7 and 9 tone splitters that are only one hand operation, where the motor stays running (quite a bit more money) so I'm sure there is a modification that can be made on there splitters also.

I believe turning the motor on and off is what burns out the capacitor eventually. I would leave the motor on with a different switch.

Did you just throw the owner manual away? WTF? First you should always check and see if there is enough hydraulic fluid in the tank before you start splitting and you forgot to open the bleed screw before splitting. You are going to blow out your seals.

I just bought one and split 1/4 yard + of eucoliptus and it works great. switch mod required.

you also neglected to read the manual, which would have told you to open the Wingnut,you ding bat!

My advice is to lower the bucket as far as you can when carrying heavy loads.

ok I live in a rocky area (Gaspe Peninsula) too and was contemplating this tractor with a backhoe. Only small jobs like french drain

Wow so cute 🥰

Great tractor! Do you use the backhoe a lot? Looking for comments about it? Btw, where are you located? It's pretty rocky!

"promosm" 😕

Very good ❤❤

I think you are very inexperienced with this particular splitter. Otherwise you would have realized that one end was not cut square, so it popped out a couple of times. That end should be toward the splitter head, so that the head would dig in immediately. Also, many times you did not let the ram go to its full length, that caused a partial split which you had to mess around with!

Suggest you hone the splitting wedges leading edge to almost knife like. It allows the split to start easier & less stressful for the machine.

Thanks - appreciate that you sped it up, so I could watch unboxing and usage quickly. Some splitters require you open the hydraulic bleed screw before operating. I didn't notice you do that, but maybe that's not required for the HF unit, or perhaps you didn't record that part.

That was a strange, knotty looking piece of log. No wonder it broke oddly.

So strange, making your splits so small, I like mine about twice the size of yours so a couple make an overnighter fire for my wood heater....also you need to remove those hose clamps so you get another 1/2" length for that longer wood!

Thanks i made my mind up its just what i need 👍🏽

Question - why are you splitting your wood so small. You have fairly small rounds and you split them into quarters? They are already dry! Why not just split in half? I do have this splitter and I recommend if you want to speed up the operation a little, buy an adjustable bar C type clamp from Harbor Freight and just clamp the on off button down, then your switch becomes your power cord! I like this splitter and use it all the time in a 1 handed operation! Had it now for over 15 years and still runs great!

Thanks

Watching a guy like this is scary, slow down and watch what you’re doing pal

Impressed that you could strike the wedges with either hand 👍

I have the BOSS 7 ton machine and split mostly oak. Yep, you have to nibble at big stuff, then you may get oddball pieces, especially for knotty stuff. But it'll do the job, like yours does.

where did you get the stopper? Part #?

Sold!

厲害👍

Wow! It seems you are skillful at doing this! Be careful of safety.

looks like you are in the foothills probably by grass valley or el dorado, if so i can help with some land clearing if you need?👍

Rough as guts on the accelerator

😎👍

I am cleaning it up so when I use the remote controlled mower, they will not be in the way, there are many within 100’ from the house and this is the area I need to clear every year before the fire season start. No, the area probably never had human activity before they build the ranch about 25 years ago. There are a lot of wild animals . I haven’t seen much but recent month, wild pig. Mountain lion, bear, we’re seen at the ranch.

Nice work, good to learn. Very good quality video. I have questions: Are you doing it it to mitigate wildfires? Have you found any first nations/native american artifacts in the process?

Concept development of condensing argon using liquid nitrogen with a set of heat exchangers to recover to power in the cold nitrogen gas.

Using a powerful condenser to change vapor pressure of argon system. A good demonstration to student learning cryogenics fluid system.

Basically playing with the vapor pressure of argon.

This is the failed idea of using liquid pump to pump liquid argon through a set of heat exchangers to let liquid argon go through warm gas phase and then back to liquid. This concept was replaced with a warm gas pump which works perfectly. Liquid argon was pumped by a warm gas pump through a set of heat exchangers and return the argon back to liquid phase.
