Remember "hold my beer and watch this"?
Check out this You Tube video, not enough beer around for me.
I use my fingers now and then.

It stops, like it did in the video!!!

I've heard of them, but never seen one in action before, hope to never see one again!!!!!

there are alot of these around here .
in the last 5 years there has been more wood split with these than hydraulic splitters .
no one has been hurt .
most of what we cut and split is white popalar and it splits easy .

I love watching that thing split!

It sure looks dangerous.

and that's about it.

Just when you thought you have seen it all!

It looks like they split what they can off the outside and then throw a big chunk on the conveyor?? Hardly looks efficient.

the guy drives what looks like a new truck...but opts to use a log splitter that appears to have been built in the late 1800's.

go figure.

I have seen them on the front of a bobcat. Would work good for breaking up the 3-4ft rounds.

I wouldn't mind building myself one of those!
