Update with Video and Pictures
Well my Neighbor and i put the splitter through a 2 hour test today splitting 2 of the 3 stacks of wood i have pre-cut. We split approximately 4 face cords in an hour and 48 minutes. My wife kindly stacked 2 face cords while we split the rest is piled up. The total clearance between the two abutments on the 24" model is 33" so if you have two pieces that are less than this it makes it really nice about 80% of my wood was cut right at this limit the rest was over 16.5" inches. In the future i will be conscious of this. I only Ran into one piece of Knotty white oak ~20" that i could not split on the return stroke of the cylinder. I placed it on the power stroke side and it split it no problem. If your splinting wood that does not have to be re split in my case less than 10" this splitter will keep 3 people very busy. One loading wood on the lift. One on the valve, placing new wood, removing some of the split wood, and the third clearing the split wood. This splitter is far faster than the Speed pro kinetic splitter i returned which is a really poor copy of the the Super Split.
We used to split about 1.25 - 1.5 face-cord and hour.
Here is the proof sorry no video's of the catapult in action.
I love it unlike my neighbors two stage 9 hp splitter which slows down the second it hits the high pressure stage. The tractor hydraulics just plow through. There is definitely something to be said for having 30 something HP of hydraulic capacity on tap.
Last two pictures are before and after the second face cord that was stacked is behind the large stack of wood down by where the wheelbarrow is.
