I have the same splitter and have been trying to decide how to modify the wedge to be adjustable and just recently thought if adding an auto cycle valve. Exactly what you did!
Great video. With straight grain easy splitting wood you can seriously crank it out. But with the tougher stuff it helps when it can but never makes it more difficult. But for a bigger it is a no no in my opinion. Just watched a video a few weeks back when the new bee had s hard time being comfortable with their hand positions. That’s the dangerous part. But with good habits it’s safe and convenient. Great work and production on this 👍
That's a really good video Scheib. It took me a while to get use to it when I got my Wolfe Ridge Pro 28C. Your explanation will be really beneficial to everyone with auto cycle.
Thanks for the demo. Didn't know the auto cycle could be stopped once activated.
Thanks Don, for the Great tips on your wood splitter. That is a Very Nice splitter. Lots of rain here in Pa. this year, weeds are growing good. 🤣 Good looking wood you have there Mr. Scheib ! I remember when Dan "Shifty" caught his glove when it returned on his splitter, he was lucky. Be Safe !
Great demo Scheib . I got distracted a little over a year ago while splitting and it almost cost me an index finger . Key words you said was paying attention !!!! 🇺🇸🍺
Fantastic demo and jams!
Awesome video Scheib! I've been looking for a video like this and you're the first that I'm aware of. I agree that if you are on the fence, get the auto cycle!!
Glad it was helpful!
Totally agree with schieb been running splitters for long enough and just an accident had a mass injury with log that twisted and pinched my finger and ended up with 50% reconstructive surgery on it so yea please be careful folks. 👍🏴
Good deal, thanks for explaining that, I was never quite sure what the deal was with the second lever. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Glad to help
Nice Demonstration, Schieb,
S, thanks for the demo of the auto cycle. Yes, it’s a good feature that requires the operator(s) pay much attention. What advice would you have for operators who keep their left hand the piece being split or leaning on the wood to keep from rising up? Yep, viewing online does not give a accurate picture of how close hands are. Keep up the good videos👏🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks!!! I guess my advice would be just to be mindful of what is going on and don't get complacent.
Thank you for not playing slow pathetic country music. 🤘 i do like you can stop the cylinder in auto cycle. Good safety feature.
Great video. I think you are less likely to lose a finger with attocycle than having another person on the levers.

That sure is a great machine, sure has to make splitting more fun
Must be from the north. Keep saying leeever vs lever. Lol. Good vid Scheib.
Good Morning Scheib !
Good Morning Scheib, good video, 👍🏼🚜🪵🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the info is very interesting
N/p
Carvings! 🤘🏼
Nice job - sweet machine- Any chance u cld send me the plumbing diagram and what hyd valves are being used ???
Those hornets kicked my butt, have not felt up to par yet, should be better tomorrow
Thanks for showing it to everyone. Will it fit on a regular wood splitter
It should
On any hydraulic valve with a detent that I've ever operated, you can also manually hold the valve short of the detent position.... so if you need to stop, you just let go of the lever. Will the Prince valve on your splitter do the same? I've never seen anybody with these high performance splitters do that... everyone always throws the lever into the detent just like you were doing.
Might be a good mode of operation to show as well if these valves will do it...
👍👍👍
Cycle-time isn't half bad for that price point machine. Do you have the stroke limiter in place? How well has the Raven engine been running and performing?
Yes Stroke is set at 24” raven engine has been strong
How well do you like that machine, I am in the market for a more commercial grade splitter and this one is a serious contender I know you made your wedge hydraulic
Matt this is a great machine I like it. I am sure you will also if you were to purchase one.
Great video . I have a question. I've watched you work the Rugged Made and do modifications. If you had it to do over again would you still buy the Rugged Made or would you buy a different splitter with the modifications you've done already built in?
Considering the cost of doing the mods compared to the cost of a Wolfe ridge or Easton made I would probably do it over again.
@@OutsidewithScheib thanks . I've been thinking about buying the Rugged Made this spring and now I know I will.
👍👍
um what pressure you running that lil cylinder at
Is your log loader and wedge ran off a separate valve or is it 1 large valve block?
New sub'er here.... scheib man. How do you like that Raven? Is it worth the savings?
Haven’t had any problems with the raven engine
Hi mate
From Australia did you have to custom
make this auto cycle or can you buy it ?
I purchased everything but it is a custom build there isn’t any kit.
Your raven starts so much easier than mine. Even when it’s hot I still have to choke it
I replaced the battery seems to start a lot easier
Does the auto return push it forward then if U pull the lever backwards?
I think it makes it go back
I'm sure that splitter has a dump valve e on it. Do you have any videos on how that works? I'm wanting to add a dump to my splitter but dont fully understand it.
No dump valve on this one.
@@OutsidewithScheib really, have your thought about doing a dump to lower temps and retract faster
@@stevebillow395 I have but I also am not sure how to plumb one in maybe down the road we shall see.
@@OutsidewithScheib I'm right there with you. I'm not sure where to buy the dump or how to plumb it yet
Could you post a link of where you got the auto valves?

Yaaay, first!
Way too slow 🐌
