Thanks so much for watching and stopping by as always. We had the wedding Saturday and we were able to dodge the weather. Everything worked out thanks again take care, Ben.
That splitter is one efficient machine. I only burn about 4 cords a year but I hate buying junk equipment. After watching many videos, I intend to buy a Split-Fire 3465 with many options. I believe it comes with a 4-way wedge but I don't think I see a need for it, maybe? Would you buy a Split-Fire again? Keep up the videos. New Subscriber :)
Tim thanks for subscribing and stopping by. I would for sure buy another Split Fire very impressive equipment. I also have a 3403 that I used to use a lot on my tractor. It has a 4way wedge and I don’t use it much either. They tend to create more mess than I like and I can work around the tough stuff better with the two way. When you call Split Fire to order your splitter if talk with Kyle tell him I said hello. Don’t hesitate if you have any questions though I probably won’t be much help with the model you are going with.
Thanks everything worked out great weather worked out so everyone was happy. I’ve got to get back and get the rest of the cherry when the rain breaks. Take care, Ben.
Good evening mon ami 😊👌 Congrat's about your daughter 👌😊 You are doing a OUTSTANDING firewood amount Sir 👌😊 Have a great week end to both of you mon ami Cheers 👌😊🍻
Steve it’s not bent. It has an angle so it is easier to get the logs on when it’s lowered. That said rounds in that size range are probably too large for this splitter. Once you get past 24” with heavy stuff it will try to tip over the splitter. Take care , Ben.
I always heard hard work will make you live a long time. My Dad is 94. Worked hard on farm. Still going good. You may have a lot of years in front of you. I helped cut wood. I know how hard it is.
Maybe I’ve got a few more left if I can get through today. Outdoor wedding with rain on the way and Teresa and I doing decorating, catering and moving lots of chairs. Thanks for watching have a great day Ben.
Didn't recognise it as cherry, until you split it, don't have any wild cherry in the UK (the odd ornamental crops up). From the bark I would have said apple. Feel for you in the heat - 22c tomorrow here and that pretty warm for Sept.
Thanks Brad we survived barely. Got the wedding and reception in before the storms. Teresa and I had an adventure getting everything packed up and getting home. Got more cherry firewood on the way. Take care, Ben.
Looking great Ben.. You are definitely taking the paint right off that splitter. Also congratulations to your daughter getting married. Does this mean you have a possible son in law that will help you?? As of Tuesday September 21st it will be our 19th anniversary..
Thanks Daniel going to be a big day. Congratulations on the upcoming anniversary. Doubt I’ll get much work out of him they will be living a little too far away. If he was closer he would. Take care, Ben.
Hey Ben, congrats on your daughter's wedding. You both must be proud. That splitter on full throttle moves quickly. Like you said, you are the only limiting factor at that point. Have a good one and catch you next time! WST
Thanks Mike big day for sure. I haven’t split much at full throttle I was impressed how much faster it was compared to half/ three quarter. Thanks again take care, Ben.
Hello Ben, love that split-fire, you were really cooking along there, man if they could come up with a foot pedal to operate the knife , you would really fly. Hope your family has a wonderful wedding celebration, congratulations
Thanks Mike we will hopefully have a great day may have to dodge some weather but we’ll make it happen. I’d probably hurt myself with a foot control lol. Thanks for stopping by take care, Ben.
Great job, Ben. You've certainly got the hang of moving fast with the splitter! Hopefully I get that good someday. Have fun at the wedding! -Chad #purplecollarlife
Thanks Chad I’m hoping everything goes smoothly lots of factors with an outdoor wedding. You’ll get the hang of the splitter the hardest thing to me is the diverter valve. I forget to switch it back to split then dump the log lifter. It will be a while before your splitter gets the new wore off then it should get faster. Take care, Ben.
@@OGAOutdoors I would like a dedicated valve for the log lift. I probably would make as many mistakes by grabbing the wrong valve but would be slightly faster.
Thanks David tomorrow can’t get here quick enough hoping the weather cooperates if not we have plan B. As far as oiling I’m not sure I just keep adding oil and cutting wood. The bar and chain are still on the saw so I guess it’s getting enough. Take care, Ben.
Friend of mine has an old splitfire, works soooo much faster w two people bc the splits fall to the sides, not pushed out one end like a push plate model. My yardmax 25 is the same. Nice video!
Steve thanks for watching and commenting. Yes the Split-Fire is a pretty sweet machine. I agree it would be faster with two people but unfortunately I’m pretty much a one man show. I do pretty good with it I can split about a 1/3 cord per hour. I split pretty small for these small Alabama fires. Take care, Ben.
The speed of the splitter is close to a kinetic. Where is a kinetic is going to beat it is with its push through wedge. Once you get a piece split down with the kinetic, you can let the next piece push it off. A dual direction splitter is really not as conveyor friendly. Splitfires are great splitters with a good price that are too often overlooked.
Yes your splitter goes through the wood and pushes everything off the end of the table. You do have to pull back/reset the pieces that are too large. I would like to try a conveyor sometime though. Thanks for stopping by take care, Ben.
It looks like you're using the same hydraulic valve to raise the lift and run the splitter. Is there some other thing you have to do to switch between the lift and the splitter?
Hey Norman yes it has a small diverter valve you have to move to select knife or lifter. This video shows how it works. Thanks for stopping by take care, Ben. ruclips.net/video/4yjyfKGMqZM/видео.html
The Split fire does a fine job. I think it’d be close. Congrats on your daughters upcoming wedding! Hope you have a good time!
Thanks brother appreciate it hope you have a good weekend yourself. Take care, Ben.
Nice saw, good vija.
Thanks really appreciate you watching. Stop by again take care, Ben.
Score of the month for sure. Nice lookin stuff!
Thanks Mike I’ve still got to get back and get the 2’ rounds may get a cord out of this one tree. Take care, Ben
Congratulations on your daughter’s upcoming wedding! I know the 2 of you are proud! Another great video Ben, thank you for sharing.

Great video Ben. I love when I get some Cherry wood. I hope the wedding was awesome. Have a good day.
Thanks everything worked out great weather worked out so everyone was happy. I’ve got to get back and get the rest of the cherry when the rain breaks. Take care, Ben.
I definitely agree that dual acting splitter is a lot better. No wasted motion
Kevin thanks for watching. Take care, Ben.

Thanks Dave let’s just say I’ve been busy. Hope you have a great weekend sir. God bless.

Is the lift table bent? Have a lot of 24 to 36” pieces, want a splitter that will last.

Tim yes I was scratching my head from a distance it looked too grey. You can send that 71.6 F my way I’ll take it. Take care, Ben.
I love that cherry, love that splitter, great action! Hope the wedding went well!! -Brad

I love splitting cherry. I have a couple of huge blow downs I have to get cleaned up when the weather cools off.
I don’t know I’m spoiled with all the red oak I split. So you’re going to wait till December to clean up those trees lol. Take care, Ben.
@@OGAOutdoors It should be down in the 60's by then. You know Alabama weather it may still be 80 degrees and 90% humidity.

Very quick! At least as fast as a kinetic, but magnitudes safer.
Also a lot less moving parts to maintain.

You believe in safety.
Foot pedal sounds good
to me.

@@shottyshoshco So you’re already re-engineering and want too levers. I agree the diverter takes some getting used to.
Congratulations on the upcoming wedding. Great video of gathering wood. Shindaiwa ever start oiling correctly?? Have a Safe Day
Thanks David tomorrow can’t get here quick enough hoping the weather cooperates if not we have plan B. As far as oiling I’m not sure I just keep adding oil and cutting wood. The bar and chain are still on the saw so I guess it’s getting enough. Take care, Ben.

I don't know why they don't put knives on the ends and the pusher in the middle.
Nice video! What type of splitter is that? Do you think a 4 way wedge would make it even faster? I have been looking for a fast cycle time.
Thanks for watching this is my Split-Fire 2265. It doesn’t have a 4 way wedge. It really flies with the two way wedge. Thanks again take care, Ben.

I would think that Split Fire
Could make it push the word out both ends and the elevator could be under one end.
Remember to put a file to the splitting blade and it will cut through some ridiculously bad stuff.
Thanks Glen I will keep that in mind. Currently it still has a nice edge I’ve cut myself more than once. Take care, Ben.
👍👏👏👏

Sorry bro, but kinetic splitter is still faster!!
Probably so but not much difference. Both are good machines and get the job done. Thanks for watching take care, Ben.
