    Super Split Heads Up

    Buy it! Finders keepers. Lets see, another $500 to get it out here to the West coast, still might be worth it, but you got first shot. Southside

    Average Size Log/Split for Stove???

    I cut my logs to 16" and split "for sale" wood to 6"-8". For my own use I split down to 3''and less, burns hot and fast in my stove for a quick evening warm up as we both work. Also dies down fast that way too. The Super Split makes it easy to split down to 3". Southside

    Super Split discussion anyone?

    Osage, you bet. Even out here in California we even have that yellow colored wood, I've got a 1/4 mile row of it that we figured dates back to the 30's. Someone must have brought some out from back east as I'm sure it's not native here. Anyway, some of the pieces I'm splitting with...

    Super Split discussion anyone?

    Good info from some long time Super Split owners, thank you. My blade has developed a 1/16th to maybe a 1/8th flat surface on the cutting edge, still splits great but was wondering if i should take a flat file and put another edge on it? SS

    Super Split discussion anyone?

    Howdy 3ford, The production table is worth every cent and it's not shakey at all, in fact I'm 6'4 and I put the machine up on three 16" tire rims for extra height and it's very sturdy. As far as HD vs. the J model, I'm into really nasty old oak, oasage, and eucy, so I went with the...

    Super Split discussion anyone?

    How sharp do you keep your blade? Do you need to keep those rollers(there is four on mine) under the beam greased regularly? How important is the 3000 rpm motor running speed? What causes the rack gear push bar to not completely retract at times? Is this not the best splitter ever made with...

    Problem w/New Iron and Oak 34 Tonner

    Thanks Dave, I did run it last night for about 45 minutes, but with that big hydraulic tank, the fluid only got luke warm, I'll run it hard for an hour tonight after work and split some wood too. I'm wondering if I&O is putting the same valve on their 22 gpm pumps as they do on their...

    Problem w/New Iron and Oak 34 Tonner

    New 34 ton 11hp 22gpm I&O will not auto return correctly no matter how much I adjust the detent valve. To I&O credit, they sent me a new hydraulic valve and this one does the same thing. I can get it to come up but the valve will stay locked in causing the pump to whine, when I...

    Best Gas Powered Leaf Blower?

    I live on a ranch in North Cal. and the home has many, many, large old trees around it. With fall around the corner I'm looking to buy a new leaf blower, the Echo lasted only two seasons and has major engine problems. Can anyone recommend a commercial grade blower? Thanks, Southside

    Full wrap chaps

    Here in Cali, over the past twenty five years that I've been in business, I've seen more local, state and fed jobs created than I care to think about. Most these jobs were created inside their own department and those jobs never disappear and only add more and more tax sucking workers...

    Must have stood on my 395 to hard today

    We concluded that the chain went bad almost instance after we hit a pocket of dirt/rock that somehow found its way into the the middle of the trunk near the ground, probably a rodent of some kind had a home there at one time. Not knowing the chain went bad, the operator, thinking he was really...
