yeah i have the 34 ton version , it went really good to start with , then the base plate the motor was mounted on fell to pieces , so i rebuilt that a lot stronger , but i made a fatal mistake , as i didnt understand exactly how some of the bits worked , the manual that came with it was a piece of shit , anyway the fatal mistake was tightening the fan belts to much when after i repaired it , i didnt realize the belts needed to be not tight and not loose , this is a sort of safety clutch , as the rack belts the piece of wood through the axe , as it reaches the end it allows the belts to slip on the flywheels , otherwise ya do what i did , smashed the pinion and bent the engaging bit , it just went through anything like that , anyway the guys at Forestwest were great they sent me new parts at no cost and i finally repaired it not long ago , i have split about 30 ton since and it is working great , it is not as powerful as my 30 ton hydraulic splitter , but it is still way faster and way better , the hydraulic splitter is to slow , i wanna split wood , not stand around waiting for the splitter to be ready for me , it has split anything i want to split , its a good machine , well worth the money

Thanks for the video, I was thinking of getting one of these but the 2 handed operation and small bed width have made me have a rethink. I might be better getting a 4 way head for my hydraulic splitter. Thanks again.

I believe the two handed operation is a safety feature so that you can’t put one of your hands in front of the splitter. The bed width seems to be fine from my perspective even with some large logs.

@@sully657 thanks for the reply Pat, I think I might have to head into the local supplier and have a look at one.

Any fatigue with the hands/wrist operating the lever? Tips to avoid that pain?

I’ve split several cords with it and didn’t notice any wrist or hand pain. If your prone to wrist pain, perhaps wearing a wrist guard might help. You can pick a wrist guard up at most pharmacies (they’re used to help with night pain from carpal tunnel syndrome) or at a sports store (used to prevent injuries when roller blading).
