Timber Devil wood splitter

[Barnie]

The one thing I found out yesterday about the Timber devil is that the splitting table is about "NUTS" height so if a block of wood decides to slip and fly out from under the splitter knife and flies toward the operator its at the perfect height to hurt your "NUTS", I will put some weld spots on this table to keep this from happening but when snow get packed on this table it could happen anyway.

Better hire a woman to avoid hurting a guy...

There's a couple around here I could think of who could do this job.

I paid $15,500 for mine, and yes they do deliver either by freight or you can pick it up also. any truck company could bring it to you on a empty back haul, its better than coming back to base empty.

Awesome. Thanks Barnie

[its just like a heavy flywheel]

I bet it IS a heavy flywheel. I've thought for quite a while that a big honking flywheel is just what a splitter needs. Most of a cycle the engine is doing almost no work and could be storing energy to actually split the wood.

Back in the day when making a lot of horsepower was expensive, flywheels were king.

Barnie, can you post a picture of the flywheel apparatus? Maybe a short video clip of the machine in action? Thanks for the additional info about the machine.

I'll try to post a video of it working tomorrow night but I'm still mastering how to post pictures but I'll try.

Some new pics of the Timber devil splitter, close ups of the flywheel and splitter collum.

Thanks for the photo's, that's a heck of a unit, like the conveyor in the middle of the two splitter heads. The use of the flywheel to keep the momentum up is a heck of a feature, I see how you are getting the quick cycle times.

Thanks so much for the pictures. I'm assembling one very similar. I hope it works out ok. Nice looking machine.

We did a bunch of Maple today and with the two of us splitting at the same time it handled it no problem, I also tried two new saws I just bought they're Husqvarna 570's, Nice saws very strong, allot of torque.

Next time I'm working with the chainsaw debarker I'll take some pics of it, It has carbide teeth on it and man does it cut. its used to clear dirt and sand off of the log where you intend to cut, it cuts a 3" wide groove in the log, I put this on today and I noticed the difference after an hour or two I never touched up the chain at all. its a good money/chain saver. its kind of like a log wizard but on steroids mean little machine.

What's the diameter of the cylinder shaft and bore?

I paid $15,500. I thought I was paying a fair price for it until I got it last week and after trying it and seeing the speed and power it has I think I would buy another, the force multiplier works by keeping the momentum of the engine up when the Hydraulics are working [its just like a heavy flywheel] as far as I see anyway.The video says it could do a face cord in three minutes and I figured the video was made to make the machine look good but after trying the splitter I know now that it can do a face cord in three minutes with two guys of course.

I use to use a duel power split in NC working for a large firewood supplier and 2 guys feesing it 10 hrs a day with the wood bring stacked for you , we could pump out a 70 cords a day easy
