SUPER SPLIT HD Log Splitter - See How It Works. Game Time!

In this video we take our new Super Split HD kinetic log splitter out to the woodyard and put it through its paces making firewood. The Super Split HD (Heavy Duty) is an upgraded version of the J-Model, with heavier flywheels, more bearings, a bigger motor, and in our case, a wider production table with support legs. Everything about this machine is top notch, and it does an amazing job of splitting wood quickly.

In addition to talking about the features of the Super Split HD, we also do a quick time trial versus the old hydraulic splitter we were using before - the time difference is astounding. With a cycle time of two seconds, this kinetic Super Split keeps production rolling and really piles up the wood... we just wish it would stack it as well. :)

We are in no way affiliated with Super Split, but their product is second-to-none. Take a look and decide for yourself!

I've had mine for nearly fifty years. I used to be a dealer. Ten years ago, I converted it to electric operation, as I always split within 30' of a power source. In all those years I have only replaced one return spring and one small bearing. It has never failed me. I think it's a great little machine. Shalom/gw

Just bought a 35 ton hydraulic last fall, big upgrade over the splitting maul. My son used to split with the maul and I hauled away the split wood and stacked it. We stayed about even with work load.
Last fall I split with the 35 ton and a 4 way head, my son could not keep up clearing and stacking wood.
Finally at 69 I made a discovery, burning firewood gets you hot to many times, only one of them is enjoyable.

I've had my SS for 2 years now. There are a few things that NEED to be discussed when giving a tutorial on this machine. #1 show how to work around knots. If you don't split the knot head on it will flip up and come back at your face. Split around the knot then try to split the knot in half with the knot up against the wedge not the ram. # 2 Explain how to replace the rubber stoppers or bumpers you can call them. They will wear out and you can either replace them with original part or do what I did which is cheaper. I buy rubber stoppers or plugs then drill a hole in them and attach with bolts so it's easy to replace from there on out. A lot cheaper this way. #3 as you said about the roller bearing. I always have a can of either wd 40 or pb blaster type of lubricant. Buy the cheap stuff because it cleans just as good as the name brand. When operating use gloves more for wiping of rail to get rid of that black film that gets the roller dirty. This saves on the lubricant. #4 Have a hatchet handy because some big rounds or getting into hickory/elm or other stringy wood does not completely split. The hatchet makes easy work to separate. Thank you for the video of this great machine. Another tip that works awesome is to set up a couple of saw horses with a pallet on top next to machine. This acts a transfer table. It's a loading table and when you split a big round just roll one half on to pallet then continue splitting. Lot less bending over. Thanks again for video and have a great day.

This was the best video I’ve seen for this so far - easy to follow and inspirational. Thanks for sharing this, Coyote!

[gillwest]

Looks a good machine wot happens if it has a log which is hard does it stall the machine or does some thing break

[jerrysterling]

That is true what you said about the necklace it could be dangerous hanging around her neck with that machine Y'all keep up the good work enjoy watching your videos

[rickwallen]

Thanks for your video. Very helpful to me.

[alexbulich]

I have one and noticed that ballistol is the best lubricant for where the roller is on the I beam

[zacharyhooley]

I’m getting ready for firewood season and saw kinetic splitters for the first time today. Watched a few vids on them, and yours is by FAR the best video on the matter. You deserve more subs for the brilliant planning and execution of this video. keep making more!

The large cam followers that are under your ram are the same size as the ones that pushes down on the gear rack. It is a McGill CYR-1 1/4-S or Koyo YCRS-20. The smaller cam follower that rides directly on the beam is a McGill CYR-3/4-S or Koyo YCRS-12 for future reference.

It is a very nice machine. What are the dimensions of the pulley on the engine and the rim gear? What is the total weight of the pulleys?

[alexbrynna]

Great comparison and thank you for speeding the old splitter up to 16x😅

Can it split big oak or just soft wood

[jandblawncare]

I love my SS HD. Ive had mine for a couple years now and zero problems so far and have split only about 10 cords but you time is right on. I can split 1/3 of a cord in about 12-15 minutes. Some of the "wishes" I have is a little taller wedge and a 4 way wedge option. Ive only had a few rounds get stuck in the wedge or where the arm wont retract but nothing a small sledge wouldn't handle. One thing you forgot to mention was keeping the bearing greased! I use one of those disposable grease bottles with the somewhat pointed tip and they fit right into the grease opening and keeping the I beam and under the ram cleaned off.

I noticed most videos show using straight grain wood how does this perform with notty or crotch grain pieces

[australianmatttty]

Please bring this to Australia! We only have imported Chinese Kinetic splitters here. They do the job but would love something of higher quality.

Love to get Super Split, bigger table and bigger honda engine, wish it had a highway safe towing frame, also Agrifab had a copy alled a Split Second kinetic splitter, they actually had a manual log lift that worked prettu good for really big rounds.

I would be interested in seeing knotted twisted wood. I have a bunch of suger maple.

There’s a lot of options to consider when ordering a super split. Can you list which options you chose? Thanks Will
