Have seen some threads on this Super Split Clone but pics are slim to none. Thanks, DW
They are on Flack rd between 229 and 36. From Newcastle on 229 it is the second road and between the sawmill and the pole building company. They ship the splitters from the sawmill and that is where I have seen them. They look well made to me.Hmm...I'm not far from Howard. But never heard of it
I have never seen one of these inertia splitters in action. They look small, are they much lighter than a similar power hydraulic splitter?
Zogger,
It depends on the inertial splitter in question. The inventors of the concept, Super Split models weigh 430lbs and up, depending on engine and whether equipped with dual 72lb. or 100lb flywheels. DR doesn't specify weights for their Super Split knockoff, but their models come with dual 55lb or 74lb flywheels to save on costs. In an attempt to compensate, the DR's spin the flywheels at 400rpm, as opposed to the Super Split rpm of 300, so the DR's have a bit more "excitement factor" when they toss harder to split chunks....
To compare with the typical hydraulic splitters, the Chinese made Huskee 22 ton weighs 525lbs, while their 35 ton claims 660 lbs. The Made in America, "Brave" (who also produces the commercial, Iron & Oak splitters in IL) hydraulic splitters weigh from 440lbs. for their light duty 22 ton, to 530 for their 22 ton VH model, up to 700 lbs. for their 34 ton VH.
As for weight for the Flack Hill knockoffs..., it depends on which model of Super Split they copied. Perhaps an owner here knows?
Hope this helped,
Lance
As an aside... The most interesting utilization of the inertial splitter has to be the LogRite. Rather than ripping off the SS design, they have their base splitter made by Super Split. However, Logrite then takes the concept and runs with it. Check out the video...

I added the receiver you see the tongue sticking into, put the foot in there when towing. Added the driveway marker post so I can see it over the tailgate when towing. Added the hatchet holder. Added the reflector on the back. Added the tachometer and made a new lower actuating handle. Everything else is the way it came. It uses a 4 hp honda engine.
