Just when you thought you had seen it all.. Hay baler splitter...

I admire the ingenuity and reuse of an old machine and his bravery. I wouldn't stick my hands in there.

 

[buzz sawyer]

Very interesting and creative but I'd be real selective on who uses this. Someone injures or loses hand and there could be a major lawsuit.

 

[rageej]

Need to install a clutch on that thing

 

[Dave6390]

That is purely insane! Creative, Yes! This brings up an old analogy: When the Brain is Stupid, the Body Suffers! Where's OSHA when you need them? Just like when you need a Cop, there's none to be found.

 

[Joesell]

Thats not much different than a SS. I would say it's slower actually because you have to wait and time it.

 

[lindnova]

I don't care how careful you are. Sooner or later fingers are going in that thing.

 

[tla100]

If he had a V shaped self centering hopper, it would A -OK in my book. Large rounds needing resplit might pose a challenge. I would not want a split to get turned sideways and jam up.

 

[Scablands]

Wow! Someone succeeded in building a device that makes shingle weaving look safe.

 

[svk]

Yup, another good tool to lose or maim body parts.

 

[ChoppyChoppy]

Got a keep the ER in business righr?

If that is the machine from a few years ago, then yes, he learned the hard way it needs some sort of circuit breaker after busting a few things.

 

[unclemoustache]

Looks like he has a healthy fear of that thing. Plenty clever though!

 

[Sawyer Rob]

Seen balers turned into splitters before, they always end up coming apart and going back to the junk pile...

He handled the big piece 13 times until it's split! Seems like a lot of work to me. 1 time threw my hydraulic splitter and it's done. Falls on the table and gets pushed into the elevator and not touched again until fall.

 

[rarefish383]

As Rob said, I've seen a number of these over the years, and they are not made to take the pounding and something gives. Also, like a lot of processors, they are size specific. Straight easy splitting wood only. I'd love to see a Lickity Split splitter in full auto. They were way over engineered, and super cool splitters, made to take the pounding, Joe.

 

[CaseyForrest]

Yup, another good tool to lose or maim body parts.

Isn't that what being a man is about?

At least it looks like hes respecting the danger.

really?????

 

[tla100]

really?????

What oly? You dont need gubment tell you how to run equipment and babysit you either? Maybe everyone should be assigned an OSHA agent just to keep us from getting hurt.....I guess it would create more jobs.....but nothing would get done.....and would drive our county more in debt........win win.......
