- BOSS Industrial 7-ton Electric Log Splitter - I LOVE this machine! I paid just over $200 for it in 2018 from LogSplittersDirect.com and I highly recommend it. Just looked it up in March 2021 and it’s now $450. I would buy it again at that price. I used it like a workhorse for 2 years without any problems. It’s a joy to split wood with it on a stand. The stand costs $50.
I highly recommend putting it on the stand. Before I knew which log splitter I wanted, I split logs with a neighbor who has a 10-ton gas splitter that sits on the ground. It didn’t take long before my back and legs were burning from bending and kneeling to feed logs into the splitter. And the gas motor was LOUD!
The 7-ton electric BOSS is quieter and cleaner (no messing with storing and pouring gas, and no emissions). The 2-HP motor split every log I fed it without hesitation.
Logs 20.5” in length and 10” in diameter are recommended, but I split logs thicker than 10” without a problem if they were mostly dry.
Seems like a nice machine. I will consider one. What impressed me more is a can-do woman like yourself! God Bless, Sister!
Thanks for the kind words. God bless you, Brother!
The best video I've seen on the operation of this splitter, you did a fabulous job! Thank you!
Thank you for your comment! Glad to be of help.
I just paid 550 for one of these and after seeing it was 200 a few years ago it just goes to show how screwed up this world has become.
They're $499 now.
I like that idea to put that wagon next to your splitter. No matter how stubborn those logs split, it sure beats a person beating their brains out using a axe mall. Old people like me doesn't like to ruin our shoulders, back and risk a heart attack.
Love your enthusiasm Colorado1derful! Just ordered the 7-ton log splitter and stand from logsplittersdirect. Hadn't planned on ordering the stand, but I'm an old timer, and you convinced me that's it worth the convenience (and saving on back pain). Thank you for your video!
Way to Go! Assembly seemed easy peezee and with good directions as to how to operate. I like the stand, and you already are saving your back by using a wagon and a wheel barrow! Smart lady! Bravo!
Thank you for the kind words!
Nice to see that the coal miners that produce most of the power in this country helped you to split your wood.
Yup! Just like they power those EV's on the road, or as I call them, CV's (coal-powered vehicles) ; )
Thanks for the video. Boss makes some very well functioning electric log splitters. I just ordered (pre-ordered because they are always sold out) the Boss 16-ton electric log splitter because I heat a barn and will begin heating my home as well with wood. The Boss 7 ton, 10 ton and 16 ton electric splitters are very good and should give years of service.
How do you like your 16 ton unit?
I bout my Boss-7 ton almost 3 years to the date. Paid around $300 at my local Home Center. It runs flawlessly. I split Oak, Birch and Maple. The best part is using it in the shed when the weather is nasty 👍 Make sure you operate it on level ground!
Working good for me-just split some 16" lon, 14" diameter pieces of white oak. Wedge is short so sometimes you have to flip the piece over, but maybe it has to be short at that power. Works fine though, and NO fiddling with a gas engine!
"Oh is that lovely"... That cracked me up. You seem like a very cool lady! Thanks for the review. I think I'm going to order one for my son and I. Both of us have some nice big hardwoods.
Thank you for posting the video. Your video helped me alot with my decision. That one handed operation sold it for me.
Thanks for your kind words :)
I have the same splitter for years now and find it does the job well. Nice job for your first time and good video ty. If you have a very large log just split off the ends , you will gradually get it
Thank you for the video!
I have an ADDUPX electric 7 ton log splitter. I made a platform and mounted the splitter horizontal on a saw horse. I put a rolling set of wheels on the back and a handle on the front of the saw horse. When I want to split wood, I grab the saw horse splitter by the handle, lift up on it and roll it to where ever I need to split wood. It works pretty dang good.
Where there is a will, there is a way! Sounds like a great setup!
Pretty much the same as the WEN 6.5 Ton Electric that I have. Though I'll say that stand it's on looks way nicer than the WEN's which is chinsy.
Love your video with my wife would help me a little bit like you are doing great job two thumbs up you should make another video on all the other logs and show everybody how much would you have split with this machine cheers
Thank you for your kind words : )
So a little more refined version of the Harbor Fright log splitter.
Awsom im getting one
You did an incredible job explaining this! Thanks!
My stand is 8 concert blocks, 2 high, 4 for the rear wheels, and 4 for the front legs. This made it very very sturdy and at a nice confrontable height. All it cost was? 16 dollars in 8 concert blocks. I'am for ever needing T post and concert blocks! I also use them as a firewood stand. Start out with 3 blocks, lay 2 T post on it to stay firewood on. to extend it out lay down 2 more blocks and 2 more T post. There ya go. This is the way i store T post and blocks>>> by putting them to use> My firewood stands, has NEVER TIP OVER, at 4 1/2 foot high> This cuts down on plastic sheets and traps. Buying them all the time IS? Fiberglass Corrugated Panels. They last for ever and can use for other things. i just put a 8' panel over it and use SS Bailing wire to wrap it up, with 3 wrap around the stack and panels. .. Plus the bailing wire is REUSED ALL THE TIME That it. Never worry about the sides of the stacks, Just the top ! You want air around your firewood, and a top to keep water off. Close it up with plastic sheets, and traps. Only makes a soaking moisture on the firewood. THAT NO GOOD. If blowing rain get on the sides its NP. buy being out in the open with air, dries out fast. It don't soak into the firewood > like with not top
I have one of those splitters and I am very impressed with it. I've had it for about 4 years and no problems. I watched how you attached the legs and I put my legs on mine. Thanks for inspiration. Greetings from lowlands of Maryland.
Thanks for your comment and greetings from the highlands of Colorado. Maryland is also a beautiful state.
Great job !
Thank you!
Sure makes life easier ;)
Amen!
How many inches does the ram stop from the wedge on full travel?
If you look at about 9:38 in the video, you can see it stops at about 5-inches.
How good does it split oak wood? That looks like pine wood.
I split pine, spruce, fir and it split them equally. Unfortunately don't have access to oak.
how did you lift it so you could put the stand on? Did you have help or how did you do it on your own? You did not show that.
A 2nd person helped lift it. I would have had to build a ramp to do it on my own :)
or a pully would have worked.
@@Colorado1derful Thanks.
Enjoyed the video! Is it still going strong?
I imagine it is. I sold my cabin and left the splitter for the new owner. I actually miss collecting wood & splitting it in the mountains!
How’s the machine holding up? And did it come with the cross 4 way split attachment? Thanks
It's amazing. Keep it maintained and it won't let you down. Didn't come with 4-way splitter.
Said everything but the price of it??
Price is in the written description below the vid. I paid just over $200 in 2018. In March 2021, when this was posted, it was $450. Just googled it, Amazon has it for $600, LogSplittersDirect dot com (where I got mine) has it for $550.
Is that softwood?
Yes. Pine, spruce, and fir.
Doesn't seem to work that great on the bigger logs.
It works well on bigger logs. You just have to run them through more times since they are... well, bigger!
Coast?
Cost is in description. I paid $200 for it 2-1/2 years ago. March 2021 cost is $450!
@@Colorado1derful i am in Dubai
Been using this wood splitter for over five years now and i use it hard with no problems. You can put different length 2x4s behind the head for what ever length wood you are splitting so you don't have to wait for the ram to get to what your splitting. A real time saver ruclips.net/video/2RqZMzgDyXM/видео.html
I figured that out as well. I started putting several small pieces in a line to split wood faster!
Great job with the tutorial and demo!
Thanks!
