Super Splitter Question

[Wood Splitter]

Did anyone out there happen to try putting a 4-way wedge on their super split SS and if so how did it work? What 4-way did you buy and from whom. Thank guys! I bought a super split last year damn thing is 30 years old and runs strong!

4 way wedge is too much for a super split. leave it the way it is. this will save you alot of aggrivation.

The way I see it, is the super split is too fast to even need a 4 way wedge.

I know I don't want one on mine. :msp_wink:

I had toyed with the idea of welding a wedge horizontally atop the existing wedge, but I do believe it will make a lot of kindling out of good wood. As stated already, the thing is fast enough as is.

I wouldn't. The additional stress, I would believe, would do more harm than good.

BTW, are you from Westmoreland County? I am originally from the Irwin area.

In the vid I posted that guy says he made some modifications. Extra fly wheel being (in my mind) the most significant. Hope it works out for you, I am working on one now for a 27 ton hyd.

Does anyone know of a good source for the large return springs on the super splitter, mine are well used, all stretched out etc.

I can't begin to explain how great of a machine this thing is. The old 3hp briggs, starts 4 pulls no matter the temp. 1 pull once warm. I managed to split and stack 3/4 of a cord alone yesterday without breaking much of a sweat.

After reading the thread about the TSC kinetic splitter having issues with the rack I figure DR and SS are going to making out well.

I cannot imagine going back to a hydro. splitter.

Call Paul McCain from super splitter.
He sells all the parts. get some rubber bump stops and a little roller bearing for the rack and pinion as well. shipping isnt cheap so buy it all at once so you dont have to pay for shipping everytime.
