Good morning all. Yesterday, my daughter, Elizabeth scored well enough to earn a Silver Medal and the KC Area Missouri special olympics. Lawn mowing is on the agenda for me today I hope everyone stays safe and spreads good news with a positive attitude.
Have a day.
That is awesome!
Yea! Elizabeth! You go girl! 👍👍🤗 Good Morning Phil.
Awesome
Way to go Elizabeth!! 🏅
Phil that mist feel good. Good parents that challenge their kids are not lucky, it is hard work but very rewarding
Look into fluid film to spray on that i-beam to help with the surface rust and help lube.
I use Teflon dry spray. Works well on all friction parts incl conveyor. But don't put it on drive belts! Haha Have a great day! :D
Wranglestar squirts a little used oil on his I beam, on his splitter. It works.
I spray ours down everytime we wash our splitter, Fluid Film is the only way to go. We have a video on Fluid Film and that stuff works great!
Crazy, fluid film is the best product I have seen on OWTM. Looks like a good product for keeping my equipment that I have to wrench on. I am going to order some. Any recommendations for spray applicators.
@@realairplane261 you can buy the aerosol cans, or you can purchase a Woolwax undercoating gun and buy the Fluid Film in gallon cans. That's the most economical way of using it, but it limits you to where your air hose length. I have aerosol can in the workbenche and one in the camper, otherwise, I use it through the Woolwax gun.
"SPLITTER'S FULL!" You're a riot Melissa, lol. I got it immediately. Hope you guys are having a great weekend; I enjoy the new videos in the morning, gets my initiative up to get all my endless projects moving along, currently putting in drainage with my L3901 (the 3901 was the way I discovered your channel about 5 years ago)!
Greg Drusjack I did not see “Cousin Eddie” so I do not have a clue. But I do agree she is a riot, in a humorous way. And her and Mike compliment each other. I little humor in almost any situation is s good thing.
Elaine Greenwood I just read the first reply, and now I get it, and I’m LMAO!!!
@Elaine Greenwood 3 Classics for the Christmas season. Christmas Vacation, Christmas Story, and Scrooged.
Elaine Greenwood I agree with it being disgusting. I have a camper and use a pump with a water hose and send it into a sewer line clean out at my home.

A small business owner like Chris Wolfe are the backbone of our economy they employ local people maybe the first job a high schooler ever had but something to build their life time foundation for contributing to the economy. Hello Hunter. Thank you for sharing your video with us. Ed
Thanks Ed! We are up to 14 proud craftsmen now and still growing!
Hey Mike, Wisconsin checking in here. Thank you for the shout out regarding some of the benefits of this great state! I’m very impressed with the Wolfe Ridge splitter. It’s way more machine than I’ll ever need but every time you show it, I can’t help but think, hmmm, I wonder how I could justify the cost to my wife.
Melissa - I almost spit my coffee out at the splitter’s full comment. I got the reference immediately but I still enjoyed you acting it out. Love the channel and I wanted to say hello to Hunter!
74 thumbs down? Whiskey tango foxtrot? While this was not the most riveting content I've ever seen, it showcased a very fine machine built by a small business owner. This dude, despite onerous regulations and bales of red tape has employed numerous people to produce a quality product. Thomas Jefferson said it very well: "That government governs best which governs least." Here endeth the sermon.
Thank you Bill! We are up to 14 employees now who love building these machines too! Have a Day!
Love you guys hate to say it but easton made.
That WolfRidge splitter looks perfect. The log lift is a back saver, but I think the real back saver is the height of the splitter. No constant bending over, then picking up the pieces from the ground after being split. Wonderful design. Should feel great after a days work, sitting back looking at the huge job just completed with a frosty mug! Root beer that is.... Great video Morgans.
Thank you!
When I see nice wood being split for firewood a tear comes to my eyes. Just thinking what kind of lumber I could mill from the logs
Good morning Morgan's.
That is a great splitter.
Love all the features it has.
I pulled the trigger on a new splitter about a month ago.
Looked at a lot of different ones. WolfRidge was one of them. Price was just a bit out of my range.. like you said it's not for everyone. I only do 5 cord a year so I could not justify the money.
So I looked at Rugged Made.
It made more sense.
Just doesn't have the adjustable wedge.
Like Melissa my wife loves to run it.. and it's great we get to work together. ❤With the four-way wedge it is so much faster then what I had for 40 years hahahahah
I have rambled on enough. Hahah
Keep up the great videos.
You have a great Chanel.
Your very Blessed.
Stay safe and always be kind.
Have a Day.
Go 603...
My wife and I had a similar story to your paddle boats except it was bicycles in yosemite. We thought we had been out for more than an hour we were winded because we are getting old, out of shape and the bikes had only 1 gear for the extreme ups and down of the road. We had only been gone about 20 mins the guy at the bike rental laughed and wouldn't even charge us.
My brother purchased this exact model of log splitter after watching your channel. Chris dropped it off when returning from the Paul Bunyan show the next year after you had yours. My wife and I went to visit and helped split 2 chords of wood in an afternoon. This splitter never broke a sweat, never stalled, never got jammed. We did find the same thing with the 6 way wedge. the top wedge actually gets in the way on certain sized wood. if you move the wedge low enough to get nice size out of the bottom, it is just low enough the top 2 wedges come into play and peel kindling off the top. if you raise it high enough to take the top wedges out of the equation, now the wedge is high enough that the pieces out of the bottom are too large.
Good morning from southern Indiana. You are right it is a great splitter but I made the mistake of overlooking the model that includes the hydraulic wedge lift. Because of that it is not nearly as effective. Not the splitters fault but my oversight. Wish I knew then........
Shes a beaut Clark lol. I bought one myself i live in Illinois about 7 hrs away after talking with Chris we decided my best needs was for a 35 ton . It hasn't failed to split anything yet .
Thank you Ed!! Glad you are loving your splitter. Let me know if you need anything! Thanks Chris
Ed, where at in Illinois do you live? Im down in Southern Illinois!
@@craigwilson9560 im in Millstadt Il
@@WolfeRidgeSplitters thanks Chris so far its been great all I need right now is time lol
Ed, i am down in Red Bud, Illinois. I just bought the 28 HO Sapphire Blue from Chris! Cannot wait to get it. Got some Oak and Pecan waiting for it come November.
Love the stars and stripes. Granted you two almost always have it on your ranger. It nice to have it especially since 9/11 was 19 years ago. Nothing says American pride better than how you two honor the flag and our freedom to make your own dreams come forth. It saddens me that people are forgetting that United States of America is such a country that mostly every other countries citizens want to live here. We are fortunate to live in a country that has our freedoms to make change of our personal life. God bless the USA. Say hi to Hunter and family.
I am a patriot as well. I am saddened to inform you that the United States of America is not a country, but a corporation. See the act of 1871.
The United States for America is indeed a country.
God bless
Good to see you two working together. Amazing equipment and teamwork. Mike I’m sure everyone wants an idea of the price.
the splitter is 15000 Dollar alone
nice machine!.... thanks 4 video. be kind.
"Splitter's Full!" hahaha, good one.
I have a 37 ton NorthStar splitter from Northern that I paid $2,000. Does not have the log lift or power 4 way wedge, but it has all the power needed and the powder coat is incredible.
Mike I hope you don't mind me asking this of your followers but please everyone say a quick prayer for us out here in California the wildfires have burnt over 3 million acres with very little containment. It's a truly heartbreaking sight
I Put Used Motor Oil On My Beam And It Doesn't Rust.
Farmlife have you ever used old motor oil as a chainsaw lubricant as well?
@@alkaufmann2039 No only clean new oil. Rural King Has A Good Price For It.
It really is a nice splitter. CHRIS: Someday….I may be heading your way to get mine.
“Melissa" you pick those log up like they were nothing
it's part of her fitness workout - looks like it is working
@@juanitalerssen7335 yep
I agree
It looks like about 100 people don't like your video's that contain product news and views. Or maybe it's just plain jealousy. Whatever their reason, those of us that are like minded enjoy seeing you guys do your thing.
is the conveyor made by wolf ridge also???
Yes sir!
Wolfe Ridge are great splitters. Between this channel & Back40Firewood I am saving up for the big commercial splitter.
Mike, like your videos! Have a question and would like your opinion. I am fully retired and like working outdoors. I have chainsaws, John Deere 4wd tractor, have used log splitters for years from local rental place. I live in Northeast Ohio in semi rural to houses in developments. I have friends in the tree business, mostly trimming or cutting down, especially after a storm. I do not want to buy and resell firewood but do you think there is a market for going over to someone's home and splitting there downed trees (I could cut into rounds) split and stack it for them. I do like Wolf Ridge. If so, do you think there is a market for this kind of service? Your thoughts on an hourly rate? Thanks so much for any imput. Richard.
He Cineesed that thing from a CANADIAN PRODUCT IN ONTARIO.
Exact COPY.
Question, will Melisa ever learn to lift with her legs instead of her back, she's going to be paying big time in a few years.
The Wolfe Ridge is a work horse! Had to laugh at the Cousin Eddie comment....just don’t name your next Golden, Snot!
Hey Hunter...hope your having a day!
Wow sorry but I struggle to digest all the wasted work. Unhook it from quad (or whatever it is) and feed them right into the bucket. High production firewood and that splitter ram should about never make it all the way back to stop. Feed it in and it pushes through prior pieces you all keep fiddling with. Even if piled on the ground it would take a few seconds for the two of you to fill the bucket by hand. Looking for a high production. In the 90's at half price we did good jobs with bad jobs and a steady 8cords a day with 2 guys, skidded, cut, split and delivered. Good site was 16 cords a day and as the skidder/cutter I would be done by 2:00. Its possible guys and at twice the price should be quite lucrative.
I've seen others put a light drizzle of hydraulic fluid or lubricant at the start of a splitting operation, but I would think a liquid to provide lube would work just as well. Really liked the music in the background of the splitting also. Great sound and rhythm.
You are lucky to have a source of lumber, have you seen what the prices have been doing (double overnight) $34 for a sheet of plywood and $8 for a 2x4 is ridiculous.
Mike, are you feeling alright or just out of practice????? Poor job of splitting & lousy job of loading the wood! You have always loaded wood just right in the past.
Wow i am impressed, i luv u guys or as u would say yous guys channel, great vids/content really enjoyable viewing. I would also commend you on having a great wife, thats a big WOW, that is one tough, hardworking, and attractive lady, next to impossible to find all that in one pkg, dont make em like that anymore, def not in one of those city slicker girls lol.
Mike you have a bad habit of putting your hand between the splitting blade and the log. Many signs in front of you warning you not to do that (PINCH ZONE).
Looks fine in pine - not thinking would be much chop for our Australian hardwoods but.
After being out of work for the last 2 years and on a tight budget, I decided to convert my gas fireplace to a wood burning fireplace. I live in the city but started noticing a lot of free wood. I’ve been looking for something to that’s fast and easy. Lol and the people around me love it and are very lazy. Yes this is to much but like you said, I cut a lot of wood in one afternoon.
I thought that the person renting the paddle boat to Mike and Melissa thought to themselves, "that date must not have gone well. These two won't last together..." Little did he/she know, LOL!
Melissa could go for two hours straight now and not even break a glow - no sweat!
The only thing I can see is the control valves are sequenced differently than I would prefer. The most used is the farthest away from the operator. I would prefer the splitter valve closer to the operator. Just about the only thing I would change on it. Nice machine.
I can make the same time with my 27 ton wedge on ram yard machine....I rarely go all the way through, I just put alot of splits and crossover splits until it falls apart
I'm not very good at ignoring the elephant in the room so I'll just put out the questions that everyone wants answers to. Mike and Melissa, what are your ages? How long have you two been together? Mike, how much do you make a year and does Melissa have a regular job? From the comments I get the idea that you don't burn the firewood but instead sell it. Is that true?
It's amazing how often a little tinkering ends up being a serious business!
It's called American ingenuity at work ! That's what made thus country the greatest in the world !
QUESTION ❓❓❓❓❓
WHY DOES EVERYBODY WANT TO PUT THE OUT FEED TABLE/OUT END OF THE SPLITTER OVER THE TONGUE WHERE YOU HOOK UP A HITCH AT, THE TOUNGE IT'S IN THE WAY.
EVER HEARD OF THE "KISS" METHOD ❓❓❓❓
STAY OF THE TOUNGE OF THE RIGG
who needs a gym you work out with wood picking up rounds inthe woods then move rounds to the splitter nice work out
You could build a better log loader. Nothing against Melissa you are the most beautiful loader but you do spend a lot of time standing around waiting for Mike to split the current log. Lots of wasted time waiting need more effective larger loading more logs waiting.
What's the make of the engine and what horsepower. Also what issues with hydraulics or engine.
Nice machine. The only dislike I have is the lever for actuating the splitter is tucked behind the log lift and splitter adjustment when working from non log lift side. To me it would make more sense to have the Ram lever first in line ( closest to the operator ) as it gets the most use, then the splitter and furthest away would be the log lift.
You should rename this video to they’re incredible wife loader of log splitter some of them logs are heavy well done 👌😎
Good morning to all the Morgans. Mike I'm glad to see the Wolfe Ridge took you back after your long love affair with the excavator. You truely do have a great helper. Have a great day guys.
to see you spilt without using the conveyor looks out of context, just a pennys make dollars, little stacks can make big piles of wood,
The hydraulic controls are on a bad angle. They should be on a swivel so you can direct them on a better angle from either side. Instead of the handle facing up at the sky they should be pointed directly at the operator.
You could fill the Ranger too. Did the big stump get picked up? Hi Hunter and everyone else.
If you don't have the cash for this model you can buy a rugged made splitter. I have a 22 ton it only cost 2k and has a 4 way plus a log lift.
Put the bucket on Milisas side. And let her grab the split wood! She is much faster. :-)
head mounted camera only works if you stand still. all that movement makes peeps nauseous and dizzy
Really like that log splitter
I had to break down and buy a chin saw. Had wind storm come through and broke off a large limb so that was my project for Saturday. Just got the M170 don't need anything bigger for an occasional job. Hope you keep up the good weather so you can get your project done.
Morning all. Great splitter. As always Mike and Melissa love watching , Thanks 👍
Whatever happened Mike to that black walnut stump you never did show the video concerning it and if you did what number was it
Young man, you have a very, very smart, fit young lady there and the splitter is awesome.
You should take apart and put some rust oleum paint where it’s wearing, keep painting every so often
That splitter does seem to be doing a great job and holding up nicely. Excellent engineering and craftsmanship Wolfe Ridge!
Thank you!
“Can’t get a nail polish like that”! Hahahaaaaaa!
“Splitter’s full.” Melissa, you crack me up!
Mike, it is a good thing you are the straight man of this combo.
After hearing her comment about reading the labels to identify the controls, I suggest, 3 different shapes of knobs, and maybe different colors. Wedge lifter a cross, lifter a T?
Good morning. Looks like a Honda engine from what I know about Honda gas tanks. Large hydraulic fluid tank would keep the temperature low and improve splitting capacity. Honda engine size 8 horsepower or larger? Thanks again for a informative video.
Did you ever talk to local logers they will sell hole log loads of logs around hear i can buy a load and cut split deliver and i make 150 cord mabe alittle les because of gas deisel but its a i dont need to go in woods for wood
Having split firewood all my life, that Wolfe Ridge is one of the best splitters I've seen. I'll bet that you'll be happy to store it in the new building when not in use to get it out of the weather.
Melissa looks like a Model!👍
It looks like it's only capable of horizontal operation and not vertical ???
As a Wisconsin full blooded native, I'd like to add, were known for our huge well managed forests, plentiful clean waters and our tough hard working citizens as well. Gotta be tough to live in Wi.
Shawn, I was in Alaska a few years ago and while talking to the natives, I told them that I lived in Upper most Wisconsin, they replied, “it is too cold there”.
Watching that splitter at work never gets old. I love seeing you guys working outside together. Can’t wait to see the building get started.
Move that buggy and park your bucket there. Save 20% of your effort.
MIKE, Bet yinz are chomping at the bit to get your buildin up! Think you'll do anymore with the pond before winter? All good stuff thanks!
LOL, at least you aren't dumping wood in the sewer....
Malisa realy stuck with the partner ship in your bisness i still remeber you partnered with her
Hi Mike! The hose fittings on the Wolf Ridge looks like my company’s. I worked 51 years for a company called CPV in Philadelphia. Those elbows should say CPV on the side if they are ours. Could you mention in one of your videos if they are ? Love the Videos. Thanks Russ. Boyer
If someone who only does 4 to 5 cords of wood a year. Purchase the Wolfridge it would save a lot of time and last a lifetime. God bless
Forget the splitter. Take the blonde!
We have only had our wolferidge for a while but WOW is it awesome. I got it after seeing you use yours and I am so glad I did. It was more then I wanted to spend but now that I have it I'm so glad I spent the money. Every time I use it it saves me HOURS of work over using our old "homestore" style splitter. I can easily do a cord an hour. You can tell Chris you for SURE sold me on his splitters and got him another sale!
Thank you Mr. WOLFE!
Nice splitter but why is the one lever you use most often the farthest from the operator??
that log lift really saves your back , but not sure its working out for the wife .
117 dislikes?? What is wrong with people? Great video
Good afternoon Morgan's! I hope everyone in the universe is having a great Sunday. There's so much hatred, negativity, and division in this world right now it's mind boggling. We all have our ups and downs in life but we must seek the positives.
Just remember that you don't have to look far to find someone that's worse off then you.
Help someone out today whether it's manual labor, a nice guester, change, compliment or just a smile. Be safe, be nice, and have a blessed Sunday. Be thankful all.
Mocking the boss... 👍 Bahahaha.
Can i get one in Australia ,ill take made in the USA over made in china any day
@10:15 when they finally..... stop talking and split wood.
Back to the finer things in life! Great video Mike.
Did the guy pick up the cherry stump.....just asking...
Mr Morgan how about you selling that log spitter to me an you can get a another
Really like y’all’s videos! God Bless Y’all! Have a Day!👍❤️
9 minutes in & I see an improvement I'd like to have -- basically, turn the whole rig around on the trailer part, or put the trailer hitch on the other end, such that the split wood would fall off the back end, away from your tow vehicle, hitch, et al.
That way, you needn't let your processed wood pile up around the back of the tow vehicle. And, simultaneously give you room for the dump end to fall off onto a conveyor, thereby you won't have to stop periodically to clear up working room. Plus, judicious placement of the conveyor would let it build a wood pile during the processing. Make sense?

@ME!
Shoulda waited 2 minutes. ~B€
Lift with your legs NOT your back !!!!
Which log splitter do think is best eastomade or Wolfe ridge ??
Great job nice splider, MADE IN USA
Cousin Eddie 🤣😂🤣. Christmas Vacation. I quote that movie often. LOL.
quick work of that pile of wood splitter works well good job have a good day
I have been looking at the eastonmade 22-28 log splitter
Good morning everybody. Mike and Melissa another great video. I love the smell of fresh cut wood. have a great day.
Thanks Mike for encouragement,now I have to go and do my pick up truck full and split & stack .
It’s an incredible machine for sure. I’d be curious to see a side by side comparison with your machine and the Eastonmade that Adam runs on Hometown Acres. Both are solidly built machines with amazing cycle times. Stay safe everyone
I SEE BUCKIN GOT A SPLITTER THE AX MAN COULDNT BELEAVE IT !!!
