Which Splitter

[Chris Sheppard]

Angus, yes Chris knows a 'bit' about Riko splitters.......he sells them! He's just sorted me out a good deal & I'm well pleased.

 

Glad you're happy with it chris

 

I used to sell them - back in the woods now

 

Stevies Thor is a hell of a machine too

Hi. Have any of you come across a canadian gripo log splitter? I watched the youtube video not long since I am quite impressed with its speed and effortlessness. Almost looks good enough for some commercial work ( what i am aiming at ) but I'm no expert though at judging these splitters I haven't used one. So far, to split wood I have used my nazi chainsaw, my spear and jackson axe, wedges and heavy object, a hatchet and dropping wood off a demolished railway bridge next to my pickup when collecting it. I would not really recommend the last one, one split and went in all directions. It just saved walking

 

 

Here is the spec sheet

All that said I've just seen a price on that site, a bit expensive and I may be able to make something myself ( they might be charging well over, gripo haven't said how much they are...)

 

One thing I would like to know is how much better do they burn if split, rather than cut along the length with a chainsaw with a long bar and chain?

Its a minefield out there, cant decide whats suitable.

So far, looking at the price and the build, the Wallenstein 350 looks to be the most suitable for me.
