Hipa Parts Review Part 1
Reviewing the Hipa Parts that I bought.
* Update After 2 days of sawing I finally had to sharpen the blades and they work beautifully!!!
The Blades work beautifully and aside from being a bit more aggressive than my last blades That I have been using they work great and are at a great price. I might change the angle when I sharpen them to be a little less aggressive for the wood processor.

Huskee Wood Splitter Pt2
Просмотров 3642 месяца назад
Continuing the clean up and maintenance of the wood splitter.
Stupid
People are over complicating this way too much. I have one 55 gal drum with a lid - no holes, no nothing. Burn the wood in there until there is a good fire going, put the lid back on top and control the opening. Don't let much air in, just enough space for the gases to escape and burn. Once it's all burned, put the lid fully back on and snuff the fire out. Wait until it cools, and done.
And how efficient is that compared to this? do you have videos to show the difference? If you are fine with what you have than great but you can always try to improve if you want and if not don't stomp on others for having fun trying things and testing new Ideas
@@Circle_J_Farm If you don't like people's comments, then CLOSE THE COMMENTS AREA!
Why does your frost free hydrant freeze? Is the drain plugged?
Possibly but I have checked by listening for the gurgle of the drain when you unhook it and shut it off and I have dug down to check it but found nothing wromg. I suspect ti is from the plunger being wet and the meal pipe freezing due to how cold it is and just not working properly. down to 20 degrees F there is no problem and between 0 to 20 there is the occasional issue but below 0 Degree F for more than an few hours they always freeze up on me for some reason.
I've been using a Jonsered CS2152C as my primary chainsaw since 2005. Mine does not have a primer bulb, however. It has been a very good saw! I discovered the air filter can be split apart, which makes cleaning it out much easier.
That definitely makes cleaning easier!
Im thinking about doing the same thing.
Did you see any practical benefit to this? What if you wrapped the dutch oven with glass wool and foil to get it hot as possible and placed a sheet of copper on top of the sand. See how long the thermoelectric fan runs after the fire gets low? You wouldn't gain any heat, but it could even the heat out though out the night. Have to try this now that it's getting cold again.
The practical application is as you said to even out the heat through out the night as a thermal mass and can be used in a similar fashion of the old soap stones used in the 1800s for bed warmers or just to slightly regulate the heat of the room. The draw back is the size depending on the room size if you have a large room this will not regulate much but if you are camping and have a small cabin this may heat a room for a few hours.
@@Circle_J_Farm What if you surround the wood stove with a box with a masonry material and fill the entire cavity with sand and even make the box to extend above the top plate of the stove and partly up above the stove pipe. At about 100 lbs dry per cubic foot, sand will hold about 25 BTU's per cubic foot, per degree farenheit. So using estimate numbers of a total volume of 100 cubic feet times 25 BTU per degree F times say an average of 250 degrees over ambient of say 60 yielding a mass of 310 degrees F, you would store 625,000 Btu. That would radiate heat for many hours.
That is a good idea which just turns this stove into a full on thermal mass heater. The only down side being the time it would take to heat the mass. If I was relying solely on this I would look into that and into rocket mass heaters like they have on permies.com. Being I only use this stove as back up and am installing a radiant floor heating system more improvements are on the back burner for now but I try to do a project like that in the future. Thank you for the Idea!
@@Circle_J_Farm You could also improve the heat output of the large sand mass by having a pipe assembly embedded in the mass with a blower inlet and outlet. I may try at some point to use an old natural gas heat exchanger that would / could then be surrounded by hot sand. A little bit of welding, fabricating and it would throw a lot of heat out quickly. Once the area is up to temperature, then the sand mass just has to contribute to maintain. For blower control for air thru the assembly, you buy thermostatically controlled series switch. I bought one for about $25.00 Canadian and it works like a regular thermostat. Home Hardware handles them.
That is another good Idea but I am trying to keep this as low tech as possible as a challenge. I might try that at a later date though, thank you!
Before anyone complains, I will brush him out as soon as I finish filming. They get plenty of attention and are brushed regularly almost daily.

I bought one of these and it still runs and splits wood just fine!
That is excellent to hear! This one splits great so far!
Nice chainsaw maintenance video. Lots of firewoods there and I guess you use chainsaw a lot? Maybe we can collaborate? I mean, Hipa gets affordable chainsaw chains made of German Origin stainless steel and you use chainsaw to cut a lot. Maybe we can work together to test and try hipa chainsaw chain and if you think it's share-worthy then maybe we can introduce this chainsaw chain to more chainsaw users.
I have that same splitter A couple years ago, I had some monster white oak go down in a bad windstorm I had it modified with a boom and a winch I can now do alone what 3 men were struggling with You can see it in several videos on my channel I will be doing another one of it in a couple weeks
I will have to check that out!
There is only one down side to this style of splitter,they used a vertical shaft motor and they tend to have a short life running a hydraulic pump.
I will have to keep an eye on that, thank you for the heads up. So far the only problem is the hydraulic oil was over filled and when heated up it leaked out the vent.
Clean the coup, have some respect
what make and model?
I am going to get me one soon for a backup saw
They are great!
the thing i like abt the 251c is that its a good starter saw
Yes it is
Looking forward to an update on the biochar, the shed is awesome
Bio char update is coming shortly!
Nice wood shed
I’ve got the same machine and I hate to bother you but I need some help if possible. It was running great all day I shut her down that evening and she hasn’t started since. I cleaned injectors, I’ve swapped the fuel shutoff valve , and well checked fluids and everything that I know. I don’t know where or information is hard to come by (for me at least maybe I have not check ed the right place). Do you have any suggestions?
Do you have good turnover of the engine when you try to start it? If not I would check the battery and the electric emergency cutouts to make sure you do not have a blown fuse or broken wire. If you do have good turn over I would blow clean the air intake and check the air filters. Double check the oil level (and fuel level, Yes I have done that before too) Anymore information on what it is and isnt doing when you turn it over will be help full.
Just send it to the Pakistani workshop.😊😊😊
I had no idea this was even possible...
You should always take your hitch off when not in use so the guy helping you load your truck doesn't bust his shin on it.
Auto mechanics hate those things with a passion. Easy to get hurt on them while working on a vehicle. I agree. Take them off unless actively towing. Plenty of room behind the seat or in the trunk/truck bed for that thing.
That is absolutely not so Put some waterproof Grease and plenty of it and you will never have that problem Guaranteed
I'm about to build a couple. I'm gonna use some pea gravel but mostly corrugated drainage pipe in reservoir. T fitting out the bottom port hole, one side a valve for draining, the other side the stand pipe cut to desired height of water level. I could always unioum and extend the pipe if I ever wanted to flood like you do. Thanks for video
That sounds great!
oh man, the struggle was real
Human: get a cow Cow:ಠ_ಠ what did you just call me
So why do you flood your wicking beds? I’m working on my second ibc tote wicking bed (only because locally a couple are selling food grade repurposed, prior it’s been hard to find them) and I freaked one time I flooded mine but I’m brand new to this. These wicking beds work wonders though I’m absolutely thrilled to have em
Flooding the wicking bed saturates the soil and drives out and unwanted critters such as ants that may have gotten in the bed, if you flood it long enough in the spring just after the last frost it helps inhibit the growth of weeds and similar for the autumn. Flooding it turns it into a similar ecosystem to that of a shallow pond so you don't have to put a cover on it that can blow off. Also if you add bio char to the soil this will fully saturate the bio char with water.
what type of hydraulic fluid do you use or what does the owners manual say?
My copy of the user manual does not say but I use regular universal hydraulic fluid from Tractor Supply.
if your burning nothing more than wood, then don't clear out so much ash, the ash bed will help create a quicker and hotter fire 😉
Major plus is the fact it keeps the wood from flying on the ground. A big part of splitting your own kindling is bending over and picking up 15 pieces every 2 minutes. Had no idea this existed, appreciate the info. Happy burning
Don't miss - or you'll crack the whole thing.
Or just use an axe 🪓
my brother in law is blind, so this device suits him. he has the job of making kindling as his da is 82 and we live 2 hrs away.
I still do, but this is great for kids, older people or anyone whom does not have the hand eye coordination to use one safely.
I'm old school I still use matches 😂😂
Try using a cat food can and some rubbing alcohol to warm up your chimney, and to get your kindling burning. Works great and no smoke.
I will give that a try
How did the alcohol work for ya
Haven't used it yet, the fire has not been out long enough to need to reheat the chimney. I will post a video once I have a chance to try it!
Great can't wait to see it.
That is an EPA certified wood stove. The only tool that I would add to your set up is a 7 in garden rake(christmas tree store). With the way the air wash works, similar to mine, I would push the ash and coals to the back of the stove, rake the coals forward, remove the ash in the back, then add the wood behind the coals. Close the door, fully open the air supply and those morning coals would relight the wood for the next burn cycle. Given the clearness of the glass, I would bet that you are not producing much creosote in the chimney. Maybe a little dust to clean out. Looks great...
Happy New Year's !
Happy New Year’s
Awww, happy new years!

They are really quackups!!
They are quack-ups!! Do they need water or their food?
They have both 24/7, at certain times throughout the day, they just get talkative.
Those ducks are really quaking it up!
I love dogs are so cute
Wow

Bio char?
It's a carbon sink used in soil basically like a fertalizer or soil prep
Thanks you
그림인줄..안개예요??
Yes
😇🥰
Always expect thos lil shets to tear up anything they can reach. Btw chickens can fly
Good video. Enjoyed it.
Glad to hear it!
