Another great demo Bob! I really like how tight and compact the 35 HO is and how the sorting tray stores on the machine out of the way when not being used! Well done WR👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the support and thanks for watching! The guys here really take pride in what they build and it shows. Makes doing these videos really enjoyable!
Before I got my SHO in September of 2022, this is the video i was looking for. Ever since I have mine, it's been AWSOME here in the Pacific NW, and it keeps leaving Fir (Douglas Fir) piles everywhere. i will add some of the Fir knots are just as hard (if not harder than oak) and it will sheer through it.
Nice to have the ignition and throttle on the operating side. Also nice that the Honda is mounted on opposite side of log lift and further back compared to the C model. I had a close call with a big round.
Beast of a machine. I can’t wait to get my splitter. I going to try get some residual pine and blue spruce. Should be good test. Keep up the good work Wolfe ridge team. So glade can support such a great American 🇺🇸 company.
Don't let comments bother you folks. You've shown several hard to split pieces, most recently ( other than this video ) with the vertical splitters splitting through knots. The other manufacturers haven't done any harder stuff on a regular basis either. What I think is important is splitting in warmer weather. I haven't done a test with my splitter but splitting by hand most of my life when wood is frozen is a piece of cake to hand split. It explodes open. I know the other manufacturers have done a fair amount of winter time splitting as well. Maybe not because of that but it could be on purpose to give a marketing boost on what they want to sell but who knows. I do know one thing.... Your wedges seem a lot lighter than say an Eastonmade since your main two way part of the wedge stays on the machine instead of switching it out needlessly like on the Eastonmade. That has to be a big advantage right there for folks. I've heard some people say that they do not switch the wedges out on their splitters too often due to weight making it too bothersome to go back and forth. Anyway, thanks for the video.
Hey Bob, another nice video. Serious question, are you able to tell me the weight differance between this one and the pro 28C? I am very curious how this one would pull behind a side x side…
I want to say it is around 300lb (edited: 400lb). I could still pick this up by the hitch coupler myself and maneuver it around, I think it would pull nicely behind a Polaris General 😃
Excellent video. Some great design features especcially the compact nature once set up for transit. Good stuff! How fast is the cycle time? Cheers from HB NZ
Bob, can you make a video of the 28 SHO with the biggest wedge that's usable for it in real time, no time laps...it's the machine Im really looking at. Thanks
Hello! I will actually be doing this style of video with the 28 HO coming up soon. It should give a pretty good idea - but the SHO will have slightly better performance.
Is there a stroke limiter, if the rounds are 16 inches long, that means the pusher travels 8 inches before it touches the round. If the pusher could be stopped let's say 18 inches from the wedge then you would increase the splitting speed, by the end of the day your production would increase by 15 percent.
