Perfectly straight stuff or will it take the odd bit of twisted stuff? whats it like splitting 14" 4 and 6 ways?

I have a 1X37 standard version purchased as ex-demo in 2010. It is a good machine. It can be piped for a log rack etc...

 

There is the more expensive Easy version with extra hydraulic controls for cutting and adjusting the splitter blade height.

 

I was recently re-evaluating upgrading to something like a Palax 100s but I figure the extra investment would not increase productivity except for solving cutting the last log problem.

 

I have adjusted the splitting ram to travel approximately 1/3rd of the way to the splitting blade, so the first log gets split after the third log drops into the splitting chamber. Most blockages are cleared with a log pick without opening the spliiting chamber cover by accessing the chamber from behind the splitter wedge.

 

I also have a 2011 Bilke S3 for handling the smaller diameter stuff but the 1x37 does most of the work!

I put all sorts of stuff through it, mainly straight stuff but I put bendy stuff through but usually cut it a bit to fit. It splits 4 and 6 way ok unless it's knotty stuff and it can get stuck but I just put it through the other way. You need to demo one mate. For the money they ate spot on. I had a jappa 700 before the 1x37 but it was 15 years old and worn. I bought the 1x37 new and I look after it, keep the belts tight, grease it up and its great.
