Homemade Hydraulic Log Splitter Making Firewood

  • Springtime firewood processing time. All the trees were hauled in on my homemade 4x4 UTV and homemade timber trailer. Wood is split on my homemade (yet to be finished) prototype wood splitter with hydraulically adjustable wedge height and hydraulic log lift/table. The log bucking process could be changed from manual chainsaw work to a log table with bucking feature so the bucked wood would fall onto the wood splitter and get split immediately (a firewood processor basically). I really don't like bending over while bucking, relocating and then lifting the bucked logs onto the wood splitter again. A log table will be another future project maybe? Let me know what you think in the comments. This video is the first 4K trial on this channel so bear with me. Cheers!

    So glad you posted a new instalment, Don! I thought you had retired. But it breaks my heart to see that beautiful splitter being eten by rust.

    Good to see you back here Donn! Having a baby will do that to a young man. I really like that UTV it has aged well and seems like the perfect farm vehicle.

    Thank you for putting in your video the before, during, and after PMCS (preventative maintenance checks and services) of your tools! I have been watching your creativity for awhile. I enjoy the way you build your creations from Idea to physical operational tools or vehicles ! Thank you for all that you do as a "Value" creator ! Michael

    I like this splitter much better, than the last one with the chain saw on it.
    It is so simple and will likely last a lot longer.

    It's always a good time making firewood. After watching this, it has reminded me that I need to do the same thing... Maybe when the weather warms up for you over there, you can paint that nice splitter you made... Make it look pretty... Hope you're doing well my friend.

    You should get a hookaroon. It'll let you pick up or move the bucked wood without bending over. We recently got one for our firewood operation, and it's been a total back saver!

    I am sure some thoughts about that bucking process and your timber trailer went through your mind as you were bucking with the chainsaw.

    • @tutekohe1361
      @tutekohe1361 Před 2 měsíci +1

      Those Carbide chains can be very expensive. Often they don’t go blunt, but the link pins wear and they stretch and you end up throwing them out because the pitch lengthens so much it starts to wear drive and tip sprockets excessively. They have their place, but most professional foresters don’t use them.
