    I spent today, one of the hotter humid days, out splitting with the 17VS. Never had any intentions of even splitting wood today. I ended up filling a stacked basket and was drenched in sweat. Great workout and a blast of a machine to run. Thank you Bob!

    I hate to sound whiny, but you guys have got to update the "17VS:" decal - It looks homemade while all of your other branding / decals look great, very professional

    Good video 👍 Thank you for showing how the 17VS trails behind your pickup. That last part showing the trunk rounds was nasty and gnarly 😂 Good splitting

      Fun fact - your splitter was the first one that I ever did video with at Wolfe Ridge!

    At 23:36 when you let the one log laying down have it about 3 times before it gave in was pretty funny. Have to add that to my repertoire for those twisted ones :-)

    :) twist it, flip it, turn it, flop it, spin it, rotate it, - 17vs is WAY more fun than a horizontal. Good vid, Bob! Excellent point at end (not worth it).

    Love these videos! I’m very interested in this machine primarily for smokers and fire pits. I’m curious what the process would be for making chunks…split and then take it to a bandsaw or some other saw or start out with smaller rounds?

    I tow my SHO all the time, and i get looked at just about every time it leaves the yard. I can say it tracks behind the truck at 70mph no problem..

    • @BacktoBob1

      The suspended axle on the HO, SHO, and VS are really nice!

    Great job Bob, I was waiting for this video. I wonder if you could do the 17 VSC show us how good that tows down the road. i’m very interested in the 17 VSC thank you. Hope to see it in a video coming up soon.

    • @WolfeRidge

      I towed a VSC 600 miles to SW Mo and it tows great. Lots of people staring wondering what it was LOL.

    • @DanielAtkinsFirewood

    • @BacktoBob1
      @BacktoBob1 6 місяців тому

      Thank you, like Chris said it tows just as well. The suspended axle helps a lot and the weight balance is really good with the VS and VS-C.
