    I find our Split-Fire to be more than twice as fast with two people that work well together, like my wife and myself. Very efficient machine. I love how high yours is.

      Maybe I had the wrong idea.
      You were splitting almost every piece that went underneath.

  • @danielmeyer403
    @danielmeyer403 Před 10 měsíci +1

    I really like the two way splitting concept. Obviously you won't have as much splitting power on the return stroke. Looks like you need more tractor to move those totes. That wasn't even near full. Sounds like the perfect excuse to buy a bigger tractor, trade or sell the ford to put towards it. The new one will be able to do everything it does, plus lift a lot more. I'm thinking 35 - 40hp, or more if can swing it. Get something in the range of 1800 to 2000 lbs lifting capacity. There's no replacement for displacement whether you're talking about engines OR hydraulic cylinders.

    I think you need to add some grip tape to the table. So it doesn’t vibrate off the rounds or the resplit pieces. Now I see the bent edges on the table.

    • @PurpleCollarLife
      @PurpleCollarLife  Před 10 měsíci +1

      It does have the bent up edges. It might not be a bad idea to add some grip tape though.

  • @jimsmith8789
    @jimsmith8789 Před 10 měsíci +1

    If you would like TRACTOR to try and lift that a little higher, then you need to load the stack of wood closest to the tractor is high as you can, and leave the stack, that’s closest to you on the splitter as low as you can. This will put the majority of the way closer to your tractors, less than 24 inches from your pins that should allow you to pick that up

    If you are going to do the bundle selling, save all the scraps for kindling and sell them as well. Pretty sure, Mrs Purple is not getting you anything for Christmas since, you bought soooo many toys while she was coaching? 🤫

    • @PurpleCollarLife
      @PurpleCollarLife  Před 10 měsíci

      I've been picking up those scrap pieces for our own kindling - but I like the idea of bundling some of them up as kindling bundles. I need to find a better way to catch them before they hit the ground.
      Funny you say that about Christmas - Jennifer just ask yesterday, "What do you want for Christmas?" and I couldn't think of a single thing. :)

      I've been dreading thinking about it. We still really like the 2265 because of the light weight and because it was our first real splitter. But there's probably no need to have two of them. Thanks for watching!

      My recommendation is that you sell the new one because it's not helping you and it is still basically a new machine.

      Most of the time he was doing only two-way splits. It moves more slowly than his other splitter does.
