When I was in college in the 70s I worked for a man who had a Double A Ford truck that carried a tilt-up well pounding rig with a wedge where the hammer would be. When we got to the customer's site we would jack up the left rear and take the wheel off. A drum was bolted on to drive a 4 foot circle saw to cut up the wood. After cutting the wood a PTO was engaged to drive the well pounding rig in a verticle position. It cycled every 1.5 seconds and could split logs of just about any length but no more than 2 feet in diameter. As long as the log was placed on the up stroke there were no issues.
The first one is a big problem by always making the operator squat. There's no reason it has to be that low. I general i like the simplest ones the best. Hydraulic always seems overly complicated for what it does.
I suspect that the most of these machines will have trouble with oak or another hardwood and pieces full of burls, beach and willow you can split with a butterknife.
I have Looked on eBay trying to Find Gear Boxes that work on a Low Ratio But they are Nothing Like the Gear Boxes like the ones used I would like someone to Guide me in the Right direction Please to where I can obtain one
I am watching these machines with great interest however all I see them doing is splitting straight grain wood and short in length that could be split with a short axe.
Very true. Cool design on many of these splitters but won't split wood like eucalyptus with a tangled tough grain that will need to be sheered through the entire log.
What kind of gear boxes are these guys using? I have like everything I need to make the kind at 6ish minutes but have no clue about the gear box or ratios.
Сокира,або ніж,не правильно зроблено,маю на увазі ,з такої науки як фізика,якби було продумано по іншому ,то і не було би великого навантаження на робочі деталі,воно працювало би набагато легше,і відповідно був би довший термін експлуатації агрегату.

Parabéns pelo projeto muito bacana
Здорово! Отличное видео!
Good day from Ontario Canada The 1st video the wedge is on a angle which I think is better because it is not all full load at once Thanks
Super 👌 pozdrawiam z Polski 🇵🇱

Another fine video brought you by (NOT!) OSHA.
Super. Thank you
I love the fact people can build a great machine and all it takes is the money and will 😊😊😊
SHOWS THE SIMPLICTY OF AN ELECTRIC MOTOR AND A ROTATING GEAR

All the wood looks as if it was selected for its straight grain and softness to make it look easy.
Some other splitting videos are similar. Their wood looks and acts nothing like the tough, irregular wood I've split.
I suspect that the most of these machines will have trouble with oak or another hardwood and pieces full of burls, beach and willow you can split with a butterknife.
Birch not beach.
Merry Christmas!
Yep Wildfires all the TIME !
What kind of tree is the white wood, looks soft
👍👍👍

Хоть и медленно но не опасно зато

I would lose my arm with these
Poplar is easy to split,try some knotty pin oak or white oak and see how you do.
Where the H did these people find all the knottless wood?
all straight grain wood, that dosnt seem very hard. you could axe split that a million times faster.
Have these people fingers and arms even now?
Yes. The "dangers" are in improper operations rather than design.

I want to build a splitter like the one at 1:33 bur I don't know what I even need or at 7:00
Me too, did you manage it?
@@norfolkbushmanandfriends7916 no , I'm still trying to figure out what I need.
@@WhiteOak09 there's a comment further down, he's building one. His CZcams name is Dan
@@norfolkbushmanandfriends7916 thanks a bunch I'll check him out .
Lots of running back and forth by the first lady...maybe not the most efficient system. Certainly one way of keeping warm without lighting a fire.
That's Efficient ! Like you would not ! Believe !
What kind of gear boxes are these guys using? I have like everything I need to make the kind at 6ish minutes but have no clue about the gear box or ratios.
Well I finally figured it out. Gear reducer boxes used on machinery. Just bought a 40/1 box for a lathe.
Most are using tractor final drives
@@JeepD did you build one? I really need to build one for my wood splitting
@@norfolkbushmanandfriends7916 Gathered everything I need and started cutting. Just need to weld it all together and paint.
@@JeepD are you in the UK ? How much did it cost you in total?
Thanks
Some of those should be called widowmakers not log splitters
Or finger/hand amputation machines
Looking for those "It's very unsafe" comments.

Funny we never see anybody splitting some knotty or crotch oak?
_Вот бездельники, что только не придумают, лишь бы колун в руки не брать!_
Автор чому ти без дозволу використовуєш моє відео????
Да нехрен ты ему!!! Это тебе он нужен, тыж в европу хочешь!
When ever I hear a roster crow I get sleepy 🤣
Terrible noice, much tooooo loud, no good machine!
Your not a real man
I see lots of ways of losing part of your body
