I work with lot nasty wood. That tall 4 way would be best for me. The box wedge would be great for them huge rounds. I working with box store splitter and it is so slow. Hope to get into a commercial splitter soon. I looking into a dump trailer first.

I've watched (and givin a big ol thumbs up to) more than 30 of your videos in the last few weeks. I've been wanting to heat with wood for several years now. It's very likely that I'll own a 12-22 before I own a wood boiler. As a machinist I can see the quality that puts you ahead of your competition. What a great product.

Like the 6 way on my Halverson 120 and 4 way on my Ramsplitter upside down splitter.

Thought I clicked on GP outdoors for a second. You answer questions before they are asked Andrew.

Nice job Andrew explaining the difference between 4 and 6 way! We use the 4 way for the smaller logs to keep from splitting to small for our boiler, then switch to the 6 way for the 12 to 15 inch stuff then back to the 4 way for the nasty stuff.

I really like your honesty about stuff, not just trying to sell stuff

A large majority of my wood comes from the loggers buck saw. It's always big and knotty and always a PITA to bust up but damn , those large oak knots are some of the best long burning wood you'll ever toss in a fire.

5:54 pretty much sums it up. Both get the job done. For our 12-22 we have the 4, 6 and box. For the first week I tried all three. For the last year or so, the 4way has remained in the machine. We run most of our logs through the Hakki PIlki. Whatever is too big for that machine (+15" diameter), or is too knotty, twisted or rotten, we set aside and let the good ol' reliable 12-22 get the job done.

Really love our 12-22!

I've been using a 5-11 with the 4- way for the past month and with the knotty oak that I have I think it works just fine. Also seeing the splitter snap the wood if it goes in sideways always brings a smile to my face

Just got the call from Drew. 12-22 will be here on Sunday!! Can't wait to destroy the stuff I have pre cut for it. Love the videos and am so excited. Thanks Andrew!

I’ve been using my 4 way constantly, tired the 6 way and it worked well but like you said Andrew, you really need those “perfect” sized rounds in order for it to make those nice pretty pieces of firewood!

Great video and discussion Andrew! Really enjoy the channel,tips, and your awesome setups! Keep up the great work.

Thanks. I understand the wedges better now.

I've been running a 12-22 for a while now. Your explanation on the wedges is spot on Andrew. I get a lot of tree service wood so the 4 way and box wedge are my go to. I rarely use the 6 way wedge unless I get log loads or consistent size pieces of about 8-14 inches in diameter. Nice looking Grand L you have there.

Have you ever built a diesel splitter? What’s the biggest way wedge you guys have ever made? As always thanks for the videos!

Whoa! Nice tractor Andrew! That will definitely be handy, I'd probably go with the 4 way and box wedge for my needs and always want the 6 way also Lol! Nice job on the showing the difference between the two 👍

Great vid Andrew

I agree with the ugly pieces of wood with the four way wedge. Now my opinion if a person is not sure which one to get two questions they should ask themselves is how big of pieces they want and the size of rounds you are going to use. Love the channel.

After watching you muscle the wedges to change them over I had a thought that a simple overhead crane like an engine crane that could take the hard work out of the lift could be handy. Just drop it into a mount somewhere near the oil tank and it could could be swung in or out as needed and removed if not needed.

For my needs, a 4-way eedge and bundle wedge is thr way to go.

Good evening. I'm a oddball. I like a tall single wedge for big ol nasty stuff. Then a four way to finish off the quarter's or eighths, pending diameter. Just my two cents. Wife usually says half cent,lol. Be safe everybody.

Everything you said Andrew is exactly spot on! I use my 6 way 100% of the time, I wish I got the 4 way instead of the 8 way, I only used my 8 way for 30min and it’s been sitting in storage ever since, oops my mistake! I wish I could trade the 8 way for a 4 way, either way I love everything about my 12-22!

Morning Andrew. I've been using the 6-way so far - splits our rounds really well. Makes good size splits for the boiler. I'm swapping it out with the 4-way next week to give that a try as well. Got some smaller diameter rounds to run through it. The tractor is looking great! LOL! Cheers and thanks again - all the best!

Box wedge or 4 way wedge are my go to. I don’t get enough “nice” firewood to run the 6 way much. So I have to use the 4 way wedge to make ugly firewood into nice firewood haha

I size up the pile a choose between the 4 way, 6 way or box wedge based on log diameter and how knotty it is. One I get started I adjust the wedge height but rarely switch the wedge out.

Don't suppose you'd be able to get your hands on some eucalyptus meliadora, yellow box, would be awesome to see how these splitters would go in spiral grain with nots, from Australia. Love the splitters.

Was curious when next time you guys will come down to the States for show and can you buy a splitter there thanks

I really do feel the wood you plan on producing is what wedge you are going to use. Big clean rounds 20 inches or more go to the box wedge for consistent pretty wood. 14 to 16 I feel the 6 way works. 10 to 14 the 4 way works. Some people like a 12 way with the 18 to 20 inch area. Like you said some people run 1 wedge and some have a half dozen wedges.

Simplified 👊

In your "spare time" could you cut together a long video of all the actual "splitting" from all the different videos. I think that would be very satisfying to watch. Kinda like those 24hr Yule log videos.

Great comparison of the 4 way and 6 way. You're absolutely right about the quality of wood and it's intended end use or customer are the drivers for the choice of the wedge. I like the tall 4 way on Surviving Country LIfe's 9-16. It looks like the answer for the ugly stuff. You can switch between single and 4 way with the height adjustment. Is this an option on all splitters?

Poor country boy Single way wedge. Hand built job I’ve been trying to get my father to make at new wedge

Mr Andrew

Just if you were in the uk 😢 dam fine splitter

One suggestion...gloves, lol, cheers!

I finally used my 4 way for the first time as the box wedge has been the go to since it went into the machine. I found it easier to control wood size than the 6 way and there was less waste than the box wedge. I'm going to start sorting out logs by size so the appropriate wedge can be used without a lot of swapping out. We don't buy logs yet so the variations in wood size is huge and they all get rounded up and end up on the same pile. I helped a friend with 9 cords last week and most of it was with the 6 way. Quality wasn't a consideration which was good because you can get a lot of slivers with the 6 way if your not paying attention to the wedge height. I'm going to make a boom to change wedges, the 4 way and 6 way aren't to bad but that box wedge is a beast. With the 18" plus wood the box wedge is still my go to even though it makes a lot of waste.

Is there s list of specs for your machines? What pumps, rams/stroke and what your figures mean, or have I just missed the page?

What diameter wood is best for a six way wedge? Thx…Bill

Hey Andrew! Did they postpone the Richmond va show till October or did they cancel it again? Looking to get a 24' conveyor, dont care it its a demo.

Hi Andrew, let me know if you are close to me anytime. I want to swap for the box wedge like we talked about doing at Paul Byunan, but it's canceled right?

Hello my friend, I just have a question I wanna know if you send this splitter to another country because i wanna buy one of this machine

How’s it going buddy

Kubota? Did I click GP Outdoors lol
