    That will be nice to have that option on using the wolf ridge when needed. There definitely will be the time and place to use it. Stay safe my friend

    Now you will be able to do good side by side comparisons. Plus the convenience of not switching wedges plus have a wood splitting party and get both machines going. You are a lucky man to be in the situation you are in! Hard work good content has paid off for you!!! Congrats on the accomplishments you have earned!

      Thanks for the comment, appreciate that. And yes those are my thoughts about being able to split and not switch wedges, just send to the other splitter...haha

    WR is the better machine for your application in terms of producing boiler wood and the Easton made is better for bundles/ roadside stand. But awesome content coming up on both machines

    Great show! Keeping it is the right idea, I have 3 splitters and I could definitely see looking for a kinetic, WR RS, or an Ultra for re-splitting some day. The thing about the 37D or the blue Ox is you need a tractor or a pickup to move it around, there is no such thing anymore of grabbing the hitch and dragging it somewhere else in the wood yard. - it becomes a production, at least that has been my experience so far.

    Machines break down like everything else so to have two splitters isn’t a bad thing. Both of these splitters have different pros and cons. It is sort of like having two tractors that aren’t the same but do similar things and if one is down then you can grab the other one- hopefully.

    It was interesting to see that elm go through the splitter. Many, many years ago when I was young and foolish (I'm not young anymore), I tried splitting elm with a maul and wedges. Needless to say, I quit after the first unsuccessful try.

  • @kevinmason3086

    I already figured you would keep your splitter because the other one is just a lender. I think there is a lot of scrap with the Easton made splitter

      The box wedge does make a bit more of the slash-n-trash.

    • @AroundTheYard-MN
      @AroundTheYard-MN Рік тому +1

      I have noticed that as well with the Wolfe Ridge Box Wedge, but the other factor I believe is overlooked is you are creating so much more wood in just a few strokes, it evens out more than you’d think.

    That would have gone through the box wedge. I only have gotten one piece stuck in my box wedge, and it was a 4-way crotch piece. Even then, I pulled it back with a chain then pushed it through without issue.
