has anyone tried one of these.they sure look fast

[Jwood]

I've wanted to try one ever since I heard of them. I have a buddy who sells oak firewood and his hydraulic splitter broke down and had the opportunity to try one and he said it was the cats meow....

if its any thing like the electric splitter  with a fly wheel  that I rented in these parts since the early 90's  (4000$retail)......greatest invention since sliced bread ,..PERIOD

And I agree they are a great little splitter friend of mine has one its lightning fast..

Ive owned several units..... the first one i brought was close to 23 yrs ago. I sell 100-200crds a yr it will blow your how little maintenance they require.

Stratton - how long have you had them last before they need replacement and if they go down are they easily repairable?

[slimjim]

Thats exactly the unit that my buddy Dan lost 2 fingers with, USE CAUTION!

Yep, all kinds of contraptions out there to split wood with, a lot of them are a good way to hurt someone as well.

Not a chance in hell would you ever catch me using either one of them. Just watching scares the crap out of me

Same here, wonder what happens if that baler finds something it doesn't want to split?

[stratton]

Shrek, Wicked easy to fix. Keep an eye on sm bearing under rack, grease daily it will last 50-75 crds if greased.  cost $13.25.... The only other problem i had yrs back was a employee bent the rack. Super split owners are saying (how the hell do you do that) but it happened.Rack and gear did not mesh after that mishap.Easy fix probably Rack $375 Gear$275 im guessing. But, i cant stress enough that the super split is a kick ass machine. 2 yrs back i sold tw6 cause of the difficulty in moving and the god awful amount of scrap it produced. just my 2 cents. Luke give me a call 203-610-7667

Yep, they have a part one for that thing as well. Guy claims that he can't afford a hydraulic splitter but I guess the emergency room is free.

[aries9245]

That's insane why would  someone even want to try that! Scary stuff

that baler splitter is not really that fast
you figure the time he waits to line himself up and time putting the block on the beam,
he looks like he`s scared of the thing.
plus that big block he split all he got was toothpicks
usless,really no faster then a regular wood splitter
plus the block size is not nice.
as far as the super splitter,i still like the desigh though
much safer the that baler
no splitter is safe though.
i can  think of two people who have chopped fingers off on splitter
just part of the hazzards of heating with wood
