Wolfe Ridge 17vs Cuts through the oak with easy. It’s always fun running the vertical splitter because it makes great quality firewood. Best Gloves For Firewood! amzn.to/3Xzf5x6
Every one says 2 years to dry oak and I say if it in the shade maybe but out in full sun one season it’s ready to burn . But that being said I do age my logs also .
Pretty handy splitter. Nice looking oak. Wish we had something like that in my part of the world. The biggest oak out here gets about 8”. Takes a big effort to make a cord from scrub oak.
Yessir, well that’s good and bad I guess. I don’t like splitting oak as a seller because it takes so long to dry but that’s majority what split. If I didn’t get much oak I would probably want more because be who burn for heat are looking for oak.
Nice sesh Matt! I just got my pro28c 2 days before vacation so I’m sitting in Florida watching woodyard videos on RU-vid wishing I was back home running mine 🤣
The vertical makes some nice looking firewood. I looked at tractor for quiet while I decided on a used skid steer. Wanted something I could haul in my dump trailer and still lift a lot. Keep up the good work.
I think I could watch a splitter split logs all day-crazy! How do you know when your wood is dry enough to sell? As accurate as the vertical splits, I think this could do double-duty and split bowl blanks for turning on a lathe. That might be how I justify the added cost to my wife.
Me too! I can tell by the weight of the piece of wood in my hand. The next way is with a moister meter. I think that’s a great idea on how to tell your wife haha.
I'm with you on the small size. I have a woodstove that draws air from the outside through a plenum that measures 20'...that's a long draw. Because of this. I rely on a a very hot firebox and you don't get that with oak that has not seasoned for at least two years. If I left it bigger, it would easily take 3 years if not longer.
I watched this video all day yesterday. Repeated again and again. I like to see the wood splitted into small and hear that sound. The only thing I don't like is to hear you talking, sorry!
The final three splits or so is where the vertical splitters start running away from the Super Split. The SS doesn’t have a tall enough blade to split through the four slabs at once. It’ll do two at the most. This is an impressive machine.
The way your splitting these rounds seems to be the most efficient way to split them. It's also easier on the operator not having to wrestle a huge heavy round!
I love the 17VS ❤️ Quartering rounds makes sense. The reason you quarter saw wood is to open up as many cells in the wood as possible so that air drying is most effective. The same would follow for firewood rounds, just shorter lengths. Good splitting 👍 keep up the good work
