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

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.

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.

super 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.

Custom 4 way wedge for Sale Super Splitter

Does anyone here want to buy a custom 4 way wedge for a Super Split? I made 2 of them just because they work well. Make me an offer and we will go from there. I have $20 in stock steel in it made out of 1/4" plate. I have put 2 cords through it just to test it.
