New implement added to the fleet IronCraft 6 foot standard duty box blade
I have been needing something to help even things out at my parents new build house in the back yard. There were some ruts left from setting rafters and I said I'd get things leveled out. After some research of one of the local dealers I decided on an IronCraft 3106 box blade.

One year review of the Super Split kinetic log splitter. What are the pros and cons?
Просмотров 375Месяц назад
I've been using this HD model Super Split for the past year to split all of the firewood I sell and use personally. The speed and low maintenance of this kinetic splitter is what drew me to it in the first place. I split down to fairly small size for firewood bundles and this splitter has fit the bill perfectly.

Sound like your building it for your self
🤣😂Nope, this is for my parents. My brother keeps saying this is my future home. I prefer a bit more rural if I was going to move from my house. I am excited for my parents though and it'll be nice to have them here in town. I know my Dad will want to come help me more often once they move to town as well. It'll be nice overall.
I like the house. Just too close to the neighbors for my own tastes. But not everyone wants the same things. The garage should be great too. That's something a lot of people fail to realize (my parents) when building a house on a slab, you don't have as much storage. So, by building this house with the large garage, they shouldn't be hurting for storage space. Are the close enough to you that you'll be able to take care of their driveway for them in the Winters, and maybe mow their lawn for them in the Summer, or are they still very able bodied to be able to do that for themselves?
They are just across town (about 3/4 mile from my house and even closer to the wood lot). I do plan to help them out with snow removal. They can still mow as they have a rider, but one day Storm or I may need to cover that as well for them. They have a pole barn building at their current house so they've been used to having some large storage. They are downsizing on many things as well before the move.
That’s a very nice house. It should serve your parents nicely.
@@puddlejumper3534 I think so too
has anyone had an issue with the hyd filter and it's location getting hit on something?
@michiganrazorriders9749 I dented mine and I've read others have punctured theirs in the woods.
@@timbervisions that is one of my concerns when clearing small sapling stumps
@michiganrazorriders9749 they do sell a guard that I ended up installing to protect it. IMO it should come on them stock, but mine didn't.
Hi Tim, I am wondering this same question today. Only thing is that you showed the moisture meter on the pre-oven dried piece to the audience, but then when you took it out we could not see the readings. But in your post oven reading I can't see the numbers. I trust you, but I'm not convinced. I'll have to do my own test. Thanks for your effort.
@Frognotfirewood I was also informed you need to get the middle of the wood to that temperature for that time. Best of luck with your testing!
Cabs are the only way to go
@rickeytrammell-ho3pt I would agree unless the tractor is mostly in the trees, then open station is a better fit in my opinion. Thanks for stopping in!
I love my HD. That’s exactly how I split my bundles. I got the lower bearing guide upgrade from Harold Anderson to be able to grease them with no problem. I had the bolt for the upper bearing machined down and added a grease zerk to it as well. I don’t have worry about keeping them lubricated all of the time.
I had not heard of that modification. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the info!
How does it work puling a car or piece of equipment up with the deck being much higher? How do you keep the rope from rubbing too hard on the top of the deck? I'm trying to install one on my tilt trailer just like yours. Thanks
@ChadMerrill-k6w that cornet is rounded on my trailer so it's not a big deal. I've seen guys install rollers in the middle to handle this issue. Hope that helps
Here is a video of pulling my tractor up on the trailer with this system. ruclips.net/video/d8-e3z0i8uw/видео.html
I looked through your videos posted after this one. What ended up happening? Did you finish grinding this tump with the three point grinder? How were the results?
@DougAlesUSA I got as deep as I could with the woodland mills grinder. There are a few spots that will need to be touched up, but it's at or below ground level which is all I needed.
@@timbervisions that is one massive stump. Wow. Not an easy job with that grinder. I also have a Woodland Mills WG24 stump grinder plus a John Deere 1025R little tractor.
@@DougAlesUSA it was a job for sure. That John deere should run that grinder well. I even used to run it on a subcompact 25 hp before I upgraded to the DK in this video.
I have the 1/5hp version of this blower, and I use it every day. The 1/5 and 1/4hp versions don't have an enclosed motor like your 1/2hp model, so they won't be doing any underwater trips.
That's is some great info. Thanks for sharing. I didn't know that and I'm sure if someone is in the market for one, that will be important to consider. Thanks for stopping in!
I’m researching different Implements for my new Subcompact, now that I can pretty much use the Tractor. Your Video on the Stump Grinder is one of the Best I’ve seen. Most are more of a Commercial for the Product or a self justification for buying it. The Practical use and Revue you demonstrated puts WM in the top spot for me, it’ll only get used on our Land a few Dozen times over the years. (Using the Backhoe works, but Man, that’s a lot of work) And don’t worry about the Haters, everyone knows they are just Background Noise.
Thanks Fish! My goal was to share what I had figured out while using it to help folks decide or use their grinders. It's not a perfect grinder, but for the price and quality, it's a great value.
I wouldn't touch that stump for less than 700
@@davidhellyer5726 it was a big one, that's for sure.
Nice review Tim!
@@tractortalkwithgary1271 thanks
Good afternoon Tim! You guys keeping your heads out of the water? Good grief! We just got first crop hay rolled up night before last. Got 100 big round bales off of just under 19 acres! Some of the taller grasses in it were higher than the hood of the 1086 International tractor that mowed it!

You can upgrade to extendable link arms
Yes, that is an upgradable option for the DK series. However, on most of the series when you have an SE trim package, they come standard. That was the point I was making. Not really something I personally use as I run a quick hitch, but some folks would prefer them, that's why I brought it up in the video. Thanks for coming by and sharing the knowledge!
@@timbervisions I understand. I optioned out my DK5310SE with every option. They would not give me the new LED lights though
@DonnieDarko727 really? I'm not sure they even have a factory led option for the cab. Lot of folks just replace with some from Amazon. For my applications so far, the oem lights have been plenty. I don't do much night work other than snow pushing, and it's not a problem when doing that.
I like the videos on these Super Splits. Most videos on them are two years old or more, so seeing a new one is good for me. I think I may end up buying one of these. I just don't know if I'll ever sell enough firewood to justify the cost of a commercial hydraulic splitter like I want. I think that something like this might be a happy medium for me.
I agree, like I stated in the video, they aren't the best for huge rounds, but if they are broken down a bit it works very well and quick. Thanks for stopping in Jeff.
Hello Tim, we certainly love ours👏🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
You guys have the electric too. So quiet!
In this video, you said you have cut the stump in a certain direction. How do you determine which way to cut... I purchased one of these recently and still learning.
You want to start on the right side of the stump as you are sitting on the tractor. If you switch directions, just start on the right side. The direction the flywheel turns is why. It's in the manual as well, which will come with your grinder.
I understand your frustration. The 3rd function on my cs2220 is poorly mounted. I discovered how incomponent the local dealer is, right after I bought my tractor. Mine is for sale. It has less than 70 hours on it. Loader, mid mount mower, third function. $18,000.00
Is this driven by the dealer? Or are you unsatisfied with the tractor?
@@timbervisions Both.
@@timbervisions The dealer says kioti says the tractor is with in tolerances. It is not up to quality that I a use to.
@@timbervisions In all fairness the dealer is probably doing all their best. Their best just ain't good enough too suit me..
Never let 'em see you sweat Tim! I DO know exactly what you're talking about here though. Frustrating as heck.
It is! Can't see eyes burning
Hello Tim, Good product 👍🏼 🇺🇸
I have been enjoying having my vision back while out working. Thanks for stopping in!
Is it me,…but does it seem like it takes forever to make bundle wood😅??? I have a SS that I’ve been using to split bucked up logs into bundle wood for the most part. But then today was awesome , as I felt like I made a lot of progress by splitting up a little less than 2 cords of heating wood. Do you just make a lot of bundle wood at a time,…or do you just make it as you go?
I had all I thought I needed for bundle wood so at that point I was just splitting heating wood. I've had a serious run on the bundles and got behind. Usually if I need it, I'll make it as I'm splitting rounds. In this video I'm playing catch up. I should have had more, but historically I would have had enough to get me to July or so, not out in May. It is a bit more time consuming I would agree, but the profit margin makes it worth it to me.
@@timbervisions gotcha. Seems like you had more business than expected. My bundler is supposed to be delivered on Friday. I think I’m gonna make some bundles and visit a couple places next week that I’ve had my eyes on. I have 2+ cords of bundle wood split, stacked, and ready go. I checked my market. Most sellers sell in bulk. I’ve seen two ads total, that sell bundles. They don’t look that impressive to me. I feel like the recreational firewood market is there for the taking.
@@amandadavis9726 that's awesome! Best of luck!
Great to start the year with lots of sales. The early spring has got people into summer mode all ready.

Yes it is!
Big blue saw ?
It's a Chinese clone of a Stihl MS660 (Holtzfforma G660). It's been ported and has a bark box installed on it as well. Initially purchased to chainsaw mill and used it for that the first year I owned it. I have a sawmill now, so now it does my large log work for firewood.
Getting after it Bud! Glad your bundle business is doing well.
Thanks Jeff!
Good vid Tim. Your machine and stump grinder made quick work of that work. I'm surprised though, how come you don't use your backup camera when grinding now?
I did use it. I was having a hard time seeing them little things in the tall vegetation, so I had to resort to turning around to find them. The sun angle wasn't helping either. Sometimes ya just gotta punt, ya know?
Hello Tim, Stump grinder made short work of it👏👍🏼🇺🇸
It did for sure!
I hit a property marker. That was in a stump. I just finished putting 24 new teeth on. Smoked a bunch a teeth. That’s the chance you take doing stumps. Great video Tim.
That is very true!
Very good video. Forget the negative comments, some people just have to be jerks. Thank you.

@@jimmiller3486 northwest Iowa, near the okoboji area
Thanks! It's getting there
Do you also do the clean up?
Clean up, as in push the grindings back into the hole and pack it back down? Yes These grinders don't seem to shoot material all over the place like some I've seen used in videos. At least that is my experience.
Seems kinda low to me. I got a Woodland Mills 126 last fall and have only milled 4-5 logs so far. Mine is stationary, so no travel and set-up. I could use your pricing model much more comfortably.
I agree, I think I need to adjust up for travel. When I mill at my yard, I think the price is pretty good. Thanks for your insight!
nice work
Thank you!
When I price things I like to give a total price. I find people get scared when you give hour price because they don’t know the end cost. Sometimes giving a total price you can some times make more per hour. If you have experience and can jug time. I find works better. At the end of the day you need to make a profit. I price and if they don’t like the price they can go somewhere else. I always price far and i don’t rip people off. Just the way i am. Great video.
I see your point and maybe when I get a few more under my belt I can better judge the time and can give a full price up front that will cover me. Thanks for the input!
I know NOTHING about pricing for milling, and very little about milling in general. But that being said, your pricing sounds reasonable per hour, but at the same time, you're wasting far more than 2 hours of your day overall. I think if it were me, I'd have a minimum involved with my pricing. Because your actual 2 hours of work between milling and driving to and from the job, and set-up both ways etc, I would think that AT LEAST a half-day of your time is wasted. I think I'd keep all of your pricing like it is, but add in a 3-hour minimum or something for the actual cutting time, or something like that. That way, if you're wasting a half-day of your time, when you add up your 3-hour minimum for milling, plus your traveling etc, maybe it justifies your time a little better? Not sure Bud, I'm just thinking out loud here, but I don't think I'd have done a job for 130.00 or whatever your total amount added up to when you factor in all of your time tearing down at your house, traveling there, setting up again, milling, tearing down again, traveling back home, and setting up again.
Maybe add a set up fee that is waived if they bring the logs to me would cover me better. Good ideas Jeff,I always appreciated your thoughts.
You are smart like my brother. He is a mechanical engineer. He knows how to do stuff like you do. I enjoy watching all your videos. You make people happy with your service. Regards.
Thanks
Hello Tim, Sounds a little low, but I really have no idea😂👍🏼🪵🇺🇸
Thanks for the input Larry, always appreciated
Tim, I appreciate your videos. You have inspired me with that splitter. I’ve watched and learned from the technique that you use to make most of your splits square. I just finished splitting less than 1 3/4 cords of pine for bundle wood today. The SS is an awesome machine for what it is. It makes some really nice looking firewood. Once again,…thanks.
I am quite pleased with the Super Split as well. Amazed at its speed and fuel efficiency. Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad my video has inspired you. Comments like yours are what inspire me to create the videos I do. Thank YOU!
"Front wheel assist?" You mean 4 wheel drive😂😂
Sure, whatever you prefer to call it. It's technically front wheel assist. Four wheel drive tractors articulate in the middle. Two wheel drive with front wheel assist, the front wheels turn.
@@timbervisions That makes absolutely no sense.
Which part does not make sense to you? I'll try to explain it better.
Any tractor that has smaller wheels on the front compared to the back and the front wheels are steering wheels BUT the front wheels can also be engaged to help move the tractor in conditions where traction is limited is a front wheel assist drive system. It is often referred to as a 4WD, but technically it isn't. 4WD tractors all have the same sized tires and turn by articulating in the center (similar to a wheel loader) and all the wheels drive all the time. That is a true 4WD tractor. If you don't believe me feel free to do your own research. Have a great day!
@@timbervisions Front weels are either engaged to the drive shaft, or disengaged. And unless some type of torque bias system is applied, which would control the amount of torque that being applied to the front wheels vs the real wheels, and is only utilized on sports cars. Usually called Traction Control. So what is the "Assist" part, when the front wheels are either engaged or disengaged with the drive shaft? Sounds like your just creating your own definitions.
