How to split elm - video

[Steve NW WI]

Haven't done any modifications yet, but after a little discussion about elm in one of my other posts, I drug this one up to show off a bit more:hmm3grin2orange:

Had two twin crotches, each about 16" across and 22" the long way, right @ 24" long. (I'm also showing off the fact that I may be stronger than I am smart LOL)

First one is aimed right down the middle of the crotch, and the second I went through both centers, then ran out of memory card :bang: You can see that splitting the halves is easier, but they both work, stop is not a word recognized by this splitter.

Background music is Sirius 60, with Billy Currington singing, I didn't realize I had it that loud. The M needs a little carb work, but it runs good as is, just misses a bit when not under load, pulling a hill it sounds perfect.

Enjoy!

Serious power there! It made mince meat out of that Elm Crotch. I spent 15 minutes on a similar elm crotch with a TSC 27 ton splitter.

Great job.

Very nice there Steve! The splitter makes it look real easy.

That splitter has some serious power. My splitter does the job very well most of the time but there have been a few times when I wanted more power.
