Will it split 12-14" diameter hard oak and pecan?

We have split a lot of dry, hard oak and madrone up to 12" in diameter. Depending of the knots, we sometimes have to work from the outside of the round to get some pieces to split. This tough little machine has split just about everything we have put in it.

Don't see why not. No pecan up north but works fine on anything I put in it.

I don't know about the wedge, but I have had NO problems, whatsoever, and I'm splitting Doug Fir, Hemlock, Cedar, and Alder. I stick to the size limit they give you, but even when I have been a little over, I use the slower speed, and it's fine. I did however cut a half piece of older Madrona, and I won't do that again, as it was so hard, one of the pieces flew out, and fortunately, away from me.

I don't think so but you could try. I personally think that the wood would split from the weight.

I use mine for English walnuts which are 1.5 x 2 and it works great, makes the job picking up walnuts easy. You may want to use a smaller one for pecans. Ask the mfg what size they recommend for pecans.

Short answer = yes. Long answer = Funny that I live in GA but know little about pecans. I use the pole to help my dad hang Xmas lights. The pole flexes quite a bit once you extend it 25 feet or so. Fashioning a c-shaped attachment should help.

I believe it will pick up the stones with the nuts. It is a wonderful tool . When I first used it I accidentally picked up a magnolia tree burr and it wedged th splines open and my pecans fell out. I also found that twigs are not its friend. I actually am going to purchase the larger one for quicker gathering.

Yes it can split T. Huang by using tyhe different zippers. It was not necessary for me to split, but the possibility is there.

I've never done pine that big, but I doubt it. It may do simple pieces,but once there is a branch or knot it will probably choke.

I believe that it can crack a Macadamia nuts. It does a great job on pecans so it should work on Macadamia nuts.

With a grinder and a welder I made it fit my Forest King splitter. Problem is , unless you have 10-12 inch logs with no crotches its a waste of time to use it. Its faster to simply role the log for a second split.

We use it to level our 13" aframe hard sided pop up camper and love it. It fits around the tire with about 1/2 an inch to spare which leads me to believe it might work with 14" tires but I don't think it would work on anything bigger than 14".

It will definitely not replace a hatchet or axe, but if you absolutely had to, it could split some very dry hardwood. You won't be splitting any knotty pine or similar wood.

I'm not sure how big hickory nuts are but I know it picks up both very small and very large pecans. This is a great tool.

The pecan picker upper has springs 3/8 inches apart. I feel acorns with diameter of more than 3/8 inches could be picked up, but the springs are stiff and the acorn shell would be damaged. I suggest you gently rake the acorns into piles and pick them up by hand if you wish to have nice looking acorns.

Wow some of these answers shock me...this can be used for splitting AND chopping...it just depends on the diameter of the wood...as with any hatchet, its going to be a lot easier with branches and trunks less than 5 inches...when you get into bigger pieces of wood it would still work but you will be there for awhile and thats when you should be using a full sized axe.

Yes. I used it for picking up small and large pecans from the yard. it works well by either rolling over the ground or by gently dropping it on the nut to pick it up.
