Great demo. Wolf Ridge makes a great splitter. I love the fact they don’t compromise with their motors. It complements the rugged machine build and hydraulics

That's some nice White Oak firewood! 462 was ripping right thru with a sharp chain. Thanks for sharing Matt

A sharp chain makes sawing so much fun! Thanks for watching and giving me the opportunity to run the 17vs!

Looks like you made a bunch of bundle grade wood. I like how that splitter slides the piece down instead of having to pulling it over

Hey Matt congrats on your Wolfe Ridge 17vs. I just picked up my 17vs-c about a week now. I love it. I had a little trouble because I wasn’t removing my foot off the pedal. Really nice looking wood. Later.Al

I would suggest that you fill the space that was cut from your IBC totes. Use the bars you cut out. Flatten the ends at the cut offs. Drill a 1/4" hole. Fasten them where they came out with zip ties. Cut away when dumping wood for delivery

@AllenFamilyFirewood 4 ай бұрын
It’s always fun to cut wood with a sharp chain . All I have ever run for a splitter is a vertical going on 45 yrs now . Now that you have run both what do you think .
@FirewoodontheHill 4 ай бұрын
The vertical is less tiring to run. The vertical produces better looking wood then my horizontal but there is one thing that the horizontal has on the vertical and that is speed. I believe the horizontal is faster but I haven’t compared them side by side yet so I’m not 100% on that. I plan on doing a video on it in the future.
@bennsellingit3100 3 ай бұрын
Appreciate these videos you're making about these two machines.. question??? It appears to me that that vertical log lift goes up at a more significant angle allowing the log to slide right into the place of action versus the need to pull it manually off of the onto the deck of the horizontal. is that correct??
@FirewoodontheHill 3 ай бұрын
Your welcome. Glad you like them. The horizontal log lift will go up high enough to roll the log but I feel like it’s faster to pull the rounds off because I can control them better as well as I don’t have to move the log lift back down after lifting it up. With the vertical splitter it kinda catches the round for me and I don’t have to use the log lift as a table so I don’t have to bring it back level. Great question!
@BertsCustomCuts 4 ай бұрын
After running an axis some yesterday I feel a vertical would be a good machine for doing resplits off the processor.
@Ridgewood460 4 ай бұрын
If I could only have one splitter it would be vertical, If wolf ridge made this splitter back when I was buying my splitters I’d own one now I’m very impressed with it

@rogerl8488 3 ай бұрын
So the measure thing you have on the handle does it work good?
@FirewoodontheHill 3 ай бұрын
Yes It does work good but the biggest issue is if you can’t cut the same way every time then your cuts will be a little off. What I mean by that is how you hold the saw to the log when you go to measure has to be the same on every cut. It’s Still accurate just not 100% accurate. I have a video explaining it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8WmYNWC1trJhGQ.htmlsi=5QZSx-yRrqpkq3TN
@mikemccormick3764 4 ай бұрын
Are you having any issues with the logs getting punky from being on the ground before you get to cutting them up ? Not criticizing, just asking. Thnx…
@FirewoodontheHill 4 ай бұрын
No not really. As long as you get them off the ground before a 1 year rolls around it’s usually fine.

If you had to keep only 1 wood splitter, to do everything, is it the vertical ??
@FirewoodontheHill 4 ай бұрын
It’s hard to say right now because I still need to do some more comparisons with the two but I would lean towards the horizontal because of the 4 way wedge.

I see how it is...Nick and Everett get to run it first! I am sure my invite got lost in the mail, again?!?!😢 Why does it sound like you have won a prize on sledge hammer game at the fair everytime the cylinder retracts?? I hadnt noticed this on other videos of this machine. Is something going on with yours or is it just your mic picking it up? The conveyor on them is nice but it sure makes the machine heavier to move around. What is the prive difference with and without the conveyor? Wonder if a guy wouldn't be better off just putting that money towards a stand alone conveyor instead if one is needed? When you roll those logs over and they have dirty bottoms. Walk away and leave those finishing cuts until your chain is starting to feel dull. You will get alot more cuts out of a sharpening that way!👍 Have a great week!
@FirewoodontheHill 4 ай бұрын
I had the stroke limiter set so that’s the noise you are speaking of. I would definitely get-the one with the conveyor instead because the machine sits way higher than a stand alone conveyor so sliding the cut pieces would be much harder to do and more time consuming. I just cut and hope it doesn’t dull my chain haha. It’s part of it.
