Glad to see you at WR Bob! You bring a lot of industry talent/experience you bring with you. As far as vids, I'd like to see more of the "how it's made", background type vids. The welding process (like for the AR400 wedges), the assembly areas, meet the other workers etc as well as visiting WR owners and hear their stories on how owning a WR splitter has helped their business/life. Look forward to more of your videos. Thanks for sharing

@BacktoBob1 5 месяцев назад

Thank you very much, I am happy to be here! Also, good suggestions for videos. I'm hoping this summer I can get out and visit some wood yards and interview some customers on their operations and experience with Wolfe Ridge and the firewood business in general.

@joedubray1065 4 месяца назад

I’d love to see more vids of the 17Vs and 17Vs-c and all the small details of their differences. Great video by the way!

@mightymofo9306 5 месяцев назад

I'm very impressed with the redesign of the box wedge system, especially the support on the back of the wedge which looks to help relieve the outward pressure & prevent the stem from snapping. Pro tip: while utilizing auto return with that pullback arm in use, I'd be more alert than you are being in the video. I personally had that thing shoot off several feet, like a missile, when a knotty round caused the forward motion to kick out of auto cycle

Bob you’re doing a great job showcasing The Wolferidge. If that machines still in the yard go get all the box wedges that wolfridge offers and compare sizes. One more thing if possible take those super nice pieces of different sizes and bag them on bagger. In same video. Compare sizes to the amount of pieces each bag holds. That machine to me really showcases an end result of consistent uniform pieces to bag firewood. Have a great weekend

@BacktoBob1 5 месяцев назад

Thank you! I'm waiting for a 4.5 inch wedge to get back from heat treating, then we can try that one. I like that idea though for sure. I'll setup a Wolfe Ridge bagger next to the splitter and see what we can fit in bags.

@BW35bucket 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for responding back. Have Wolfgang bag as your splitting. Differentiating the box wedge sizes and capabilities would be really cool. But showing what you could do with it no matter the size is even cooler. You have two products that work great together, hand in hand. Propping a couple of baggers in back ground of some of your videos in the future. could draw interest to. Have a great and safe day.

@mudslinger7238 5 месяцев назад

I really like the Wolfe Ridge equipment; however, I don't understand why they don't offer the box wedge on different models instead of just the most expensive model?

@deeprootacres8843 5 месяцев назад

Because the machine needs a significantly higher power output to be able to even run the box wedge. If you run a box wedge on a splitter that doesn't have enough power output it'll constantly be getting wood stuck in the wedge unable to shove it out.

@heathenfirewoodservice2021 5 месяцев назад

@@deeprootacres8843right. You need the tonnage and the gpm to properly run the box. I’ve run box wedge machines before and yes it is necessary to have the big machines run them. Guys that haven’t run them just don’t know.

@waynejohnson9855 4 месяца назад

@@deeprootacres8843 but they run a 12 way on the 28c seems a box wedge would take less to run than a 12 way.

Nice machine-I have a Troy built that has been modified and I like the wedge on the piston -it allows for easier reworking of large rounds,seems like with the fixed wedge it’s more reaching to get to the work-I guess it’s stronger the way you run yours-any thoughts ? Thank you

@danshouseofsmokeandoutdoor7119 5 месяцев назад

Nice splitter. Be nice have an adjustable for your normal wedges.

@BacktoBob1 5 месяцев назад

The traditional wedges are height adjustable, but with a bolt / nut.

@jasonpinnix1905 5 месяцев назад

Are there different box wedges or just the one size ?

@BacktoBob1 5 месяцев назад

3.5 inch (shown in this video), 4 inch, or 4.5 inch options.

@TedErhartCFP 5 месяцев назад

Bob, I'd like to see a video of you changing the box wedge out for the single or 4 way. Curious how easy it is.

@WolfeRidgeSplitters 5 месяцев назад

It's a 2 man job. We had a head to head video of a gas vs diesel splitter not long ago... the end of the video shows me trying to do by myself. Thanks Ted!

@BacktoBob1 5 месяцев назад

We will do this sometime. Like Chris said it is a two person job because the box wedge is so heavy. But soon we will have a 4.5 box wedge back to do video with. I'm thinking when that arrives, I'll start the video with swapping the wedges.

@KNLFirewood 5 месяцев назад

That’s an impressive machine. Makes great looking firewood. Does WR offer different box wedge sizes for even smaller pcs?

@BacktoBob1 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Mike! I'll have to get back to you on smaller. As I knew it was 3.5 / 4 / 4.5 inch sizes.

@BacktoBob1 5 месяцев назад

The one thing i would add to this machine is some sort of cleat on the ram face! I had wood launch 20ft out of my old machine cause of the smooth face! And does the light tower fold down for transport?

@WolfeRidgeSplitters 5 месяцев назад

The face of the pusher is diamond plate steel, so the wood doesn't slide around. The light tower is removable for transport

How much does that setup run?

@WolfeRidgeSplitters 3 месяца назад

Depends on options, check out all configuration options and prices on our website. www.wolferidgemfg.com

@wireedm1 5 месяцев назад

The wedge geometry is too parallel. There is WAY too much friction between the wedge and wood making the speed slow down even on straight wood without any knots. They need some axial relief along with the radial between them to reduce the friction.

@BacktoBob1 5 месяцев назад

I see what you are saying, but there is only so much room in a box wedge - there are 2 blades left of and right of center and they are already stepped and angled. I can do a close up of the box wedge angles and design next time I have one in front of me. Some manufacturers leave the bottom open, which puts takes less force then to split, but also you could have the tendency to bend one of the verticals as they are not tied into the bottom. Thanks for watching, and for the suggestions!

@wireedm1 5 месяцев назад

@@BacktoBob1, the box wedge I designed and machined is similar to yours with two wedges on each side of center. It is a closed bottom for wedge support, but its lower edge is a about 2-1/2" below the beam, to give some clearance. There is angled relief horizontally, similar to yours, but there also needs to be angular relief vertically on each side of the center wedge, if that makes sense. It puts the side wedges on a compound angle but makes a world of difference in pressure needed to push the splits through. I can send you a drawing of mine if it'll help.

@RickF1558 5 месяцев назад

100% They make nice machines for sure, but the box wedge design is the worst in the industry as near as I can tell. Way too much unnecessary friction.

@wireedm1 5 месяцев назад

@@RickF1558, agreed, even a small piece kicks it into low from so much friction.

@fronabargerconveyingpumping 5 месяцев назад

@BacktoBob1 5 месяцев назад

I did intentionally pick some rough looking rounds to start. I could have grabbed nice straight 16 inch diameter stuff and it would fly through that. I’ll do that some day, but it’s good to show the actual performance with some tough stuff. Thank you both for watching!
