That splitter looks like a nice machine for a two man operation. But I got tired watching him having to walk around the splitter every time he used the lift and picking the splits off the ground.

In the video, I wonder why the worker took the last split and cut it in half? He took the split and turned it sideways across the wedge.
Plus, somebody tell me why have a 6 way wedge if the splits have to be re-split?
Same here, with an axe for nowRegarding the post about a 2 man operation, aren't most splitting operations a one man show to begin with? I for sure mine is. I have to operate what he does with my little, cheap Tractor Supply machine.
I have been on here for a while now but I never post anything. I figured you guys would get a kick out of my new toy. Firewood has always been kinda a hobby for me since I was 15, I used the money to get me through high school. I started splitting it with a maul and finally bought my first splitter from Tractor Supply for $700 with the help from my grandma. Since the first 22 ton splitter I'm now 32 and have wore out 5 splitters. The welds break, several motors, hydro lines they just seem to fall apart over the years. I have always wanted a big splitter with a log lift 4 or 6 way wedge with all the options. It's always been a dream, some people dream for a car,house, lottery. I really like cutting wood so a big splitter has always been my dream. I have been looking at the timberwolf tw-7 for years !! After doing my research and reading a lot on here my dream machine has switched to the built-rite 24D with the 35 hp kubota diesel. So 2 weeks ago I called and put the down payment down on it. If all goes as planned it should be here sometime in the middle of June. I will keep you all posted and I will try to figure out how to load pictures before it gets here.
