#52 My Wolfe Ridge vs Box store splitter

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2024
- First run of my Wolfe Ridge splitter in my woodyard. Put it up against my box store splitter for the first time. I timed it to see the efficiency's I gained just on splitting one piece of wood. Dog goes crazy after a mouse as well. Enjoy the Wolfe Ridge 28 PRO!!!!!

Keystone - nothing but the best! Thanks for the review. Just viewing the hassle of not having any type of shelf on that old box store splitter to assist with holding pieces makes the Wolferidge stand out.
Nice job god bless
Now that you have some time on the 28PRO, how about another shootout video between the two splitters?
Bellissima macchina complimenti 😀
i clearly need to start working out. You move that 28 pro around by hand with ease.
where are you in Nebraska? I am on the way to AZ after Thanksgiving, and if it works out would like st stop in.
Close to Norfolk Nebraska. You gettin close to that?
Congratulations Mike. Glad you got the new splitter safe and sound. It will definitely improve production once you have more time behind the controls.
For sure. Look forward to showing this thing odd. Lol. Take care.
I could never justify the expense being a home gamer. Guess that's why I enjoy the production channels. Congrats.
Thanks Bill. Have a good one.
I would normally agree, but now that I'm 60, it's time to save the back. I'm not lifting big rounds any more and it's too much wood to not use them.
Nice 8 minute review. It certainly is fun to upgrade equipment!!! Perhaps I can swing by and help you with stacking one day.
That would be great. Plan on trying to hit some other woodyards in my travels as well.
Have a great day
Is that Black-wall Nut and Ash your splitting,
In this video I was using red elm.
Congratulations on getting that wolf ridge . That’s a very nice splitter !!
I just knew it two splitters two hands two warm up beers!!🍺 Love it. Nice splitter Mike! Are you now sleeping in the shop since bringing home the splitter?😂👍👍
All good on the home front. Thanks for supporting. Have a great day.
I've been by your operation in Wisner. I'm retired and spend most of the summer at my cabin on the Missouri River in Decatur, NE. I don't heat with wood, sell wood or want to do either. I just burn through a couple of 2-3 cords in my firepit at "The River" and supply my family and friends/neighbors with another 3-4 cords per year. That's about all I have room for to let it dry properly. Presently building a "Woodshed" to keep at least a cord of the already dry stuff out of the weather for the winter. At 72 I already have enough dry or drying to last till I'm 75. Quite a bit of this wood was split with an axe or maul. Mostly work on cutting and splitting in the fall months when it is cooler. Most of the wood is storm damage salvage from town or from friends. I'm pretty picky about the wood that I will take though.
Sounds good Larry. Look forward to running into some time. Take care.
So is this the 28 pro or the 28 pro c? There is a big difference in cycle times.
The box store splitter looks small! Tried out the Axis yesterday, is an amazing machine too! Still no regrets in ordering my Wolfe Ridge. Even the Pro 28 splits so much faster than the glacier. Is all because of a good 4-way wedge, log lift thst doubles as a work table, and the outfeed table to save on picking up stuff off the ground that needs resplitting.
For sure. Would like to run one of those axis machines some time. Not sure our twisted up stringy trees in Nebraska would like it that much. Take care.
@@nebraskawoodstr, check out GP Outdoors. Think he did a video of the Axis splitting some stringy wood, but not sure.
Nice buddy, them Wolfe’s have a habit of following people home. That’s a fine splitter
That is a beast- have a great day
Thanks Dave. Sure should help with production. Take care
@@nebraskawoodstr yes 👍
Hey Woodstr, your dog gets just as fired up starting the new splitter as she does with the glacier- love her commitment! That adjustable wedge on the new beauty is great. A shame you can’t speed up the warm up time, as we all have the same problem- 2 hands but only the 1 Pie-Hole. Take care
Good stuff Mike. Im not sure who got fired more starting that for the first time in the woodyard. Have a great week.
Once you get more comfortable and familiar with the controls you'll cut that time way down. Different size rounds have different plans of attack, it's all part of the fun of finding what works best for ya....enjoy! 🍻
Thanks Dan. Have a good day
The "trick" to the box store splitters is to have a work table on the opposite side that you stand. I have an old SUV tubular roof rack on some metal saw horses for a table. Load it up with rounds & it catches the drops for resplit when you bust down a big round. I put a IBC tote at the end and stack splits as the glacier returns. I'm also running mine off of the aux hydraulics on my 6600 ford tractor, so it's slow overall (10gpm) but it's single speed with plenty of power.
Good idea on work table.
@@nebraskawoodstr I still need to add a log lift . The flip down/work on the ground mode the box store splitters have is aggravating.
Hi Mike!!😀😀
After you get a few more hours running the new splitter I'll bet that you will be able to cut your time in half compared to the old splitter.
It's definitely worth the money I'm sure.
Who ever comes up with a stacking machine that is affordable will be a millionaire over night.
It's the one thing that will be the hardest to do.
It was great meeting you at the frenzy!!😀😀👍👍
Take care my friend!!😀😀👍👍💚
Logger Al
Thanks Al. It will definitely speed up as I get down the levers. Have a great day.
Great review Mike we were able to do about a face cord every 30 minutes with everything prepped log size around 16 to 20 in circumference have a great day woodstr's👍🇺🇸
Sounds about right. There is a lot of time saving with log lift and having wood staged and ready to go. Thanks for watching. Take care.
Speed will definitely change with the bigger splits for heating wood as the 4-way wedge will really change things. Long-term it will really speed things up as you get more used to it and learn how to optimize your usage of it.
Hey Mike, Congratulations on the new splitter. I was half expecting to see you living in a tent in your woodyard after your wife found out.😂 Great purchase and I'm sure when you get use to the new proccess you will be cranking out the wood!! Looking forward to see it in action on future videos.
Thanks B&F. Look forward to sharing it with you. Have a great day.
I think he notified her of the decision when he was at the Frenzy so his wife would have time to "cool off" by the time he got home. LOL
Congrats Mike!The 28 Pro is defiantly going to bump up your production and save your back with the log lift. Take care
For sure. Already getting behind on stacking. Lol.
Congrats again on the splitter Mike! I guess the wife wasn’t too mad. Your still alive making videos🤣 Your argument to her could be now you can make the glacier a rental an recoup some of the money spent🤷♂️ I always have a back up excuse🤣 Thanks for supporting my job with the “ Keith Stones” 🍻
Fun fact our local Sheriff here in Nash County NC is named Keith Stone 😂
@@joshtaylor4240 that’s some funny sh:t
Thanks Todd. I assume you are in the beer business. And will be finding a home to put out to rent. Have a great day.
This splitter will allow you to split more with less fatigue, nice upgrade.
Thanks Jim. Enjoying it so far. Have a great day.
Ciao quanto costerebbe per curiosita lo spaccalegna? Grazie
Congrat’s Mike on that awesome splitter! They make great stuff !enjoy the new “Toy” = 💵 Rick
Thanks Rick. It's been Xmas morning ever since I got it. Have a great 4th.
Not to give the wife any ideas but now you now have time to mow the lawn.
Nice comparison between the 2 machines
She sitting next to me and gave the thumbs up. Lol. 👍👍👍👍
Congratulations on your new splitter!! Once you learn all the levers your time will improve your time. Have a Safe Day
Thanks David. Muscle memory will definitely help. Have a great day.
The new splitter will help out with time and the back.
Already my back feels like it will last longer. Lol. Have a good one.
When your producing if you can save 20 seconds per unit in an 8 hour day that could add up to an hour.
And hay not only is it a time saver but money saver. Less money on chiropractic bills.😂
Nothing you can do about speed of stacking unless you let the splits fall off the end and stack in the same spot. Or find help that will "work for beer".
The "work for beer" works on me, so we will have to give it a shot. Lol.
Comparing apples with pears really.
What do you want for the old one?
Probably gonna find a home to rent it out and have it continue to generate some $. Would prob let go for the right money.
Is there ANYTHING better than new toy day? I vote nay!
I'm a "nay" as well. Lol. Thanks for watching. Nebraska WoodSTR
I guess it wasn't worth the money tonsave 40 seconds, what a rip
😀👍👍🏆🏆
Hello Mike, you will probably get down to 3 minutes, Take Care my Friend, I am STIHL watching 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks. It will and has gotten faster already. Have a great day hottles.
