Very impressive for a homeowner grade splitter. It definitely fills a void in the market between what the average homeowner needs in a vertical splitter versus the industrial/commercial grade machines from companies like Wolfe Ridge and Eastonmade.

I almost pulled the trigger on ordering one like 2 weeks ago but talked myself out of it…these videos are making me second guess my decision. Haha..keep up the great work bud. 👍

Impressive, looks like they really hit the mark with this machine.

I've contacted them and will be making some small mods. Great to deal with

Hard to believe how strong this splitter is. Are you gonna make a foot feed for it?

@dereksstuff8395 6 күн бұрын

@cutNdryfirewood I will! I hope to be able to build one before the weekend is up. Stupid regular job always gets in the way 🤣

I like the cycle time, probably due to the small diameter cylinder. Perfect for what it is , but experience is essential due to distance from hands to blade so NO distractions or speaking with operator when working.

Your new splitter would make kindling quicker you can imagine. Use the round squaring system for great results...

That splitter is awesome i just dont like how high the lever is. I wish they did a foot pedal or something

@dereksstuff8395 4 күн бұрын

@Dorchwoods I thought I'd hate it, but it's working OK. I'll fabricate a foot pedal for it. I'll post when it's ready for showing

Thanks for posting these videos!! Making me rethink my long term plans/goal to get a 17VS (wolf ridge) If you ever get a chance to put some fresh cut Oak rounds, maybe 20-24" in diameter through it I'd be really interested to see how it does.

@dereksstuff8395 6 күн бұрын

@FirewoodInTheField I sure can. I have plenty of oak to run through it. If it'll run hickory, it'll run oak.

The log lift probably isn't strong enough to lift a 20-24in oak until you add stabilizer legs to it.

The 17VS is a commercial grade machine, while the 1165V is a homeowner grade machine. Can't use it for hours on end without the hydraulic oil getting too hot.

At first I was going to guess a little bit less than 15 minutes and 13 seconds 😁

If you were looking for speed you should have got a kinetic spliter.

@amandadavis9726 4 күн бұрын

I disagree on that one. This splitter is a step faster and efficient than a kinetic splitter. The Axis and 17VS would blow a kinetic splitter out of the water because their knives are bigger and can consistently split three slabs at a time. It takes about 10 to 12 seconds to quarter up a round with a kinetic splitter as opposed to six or seven with this vertical splitter.
