Hi Todd. I knew you would quickly realize the increased productivity with a commercial splitter. The vertical splitters are the best for perfect bundle wood!

Yeah even though my box store splitter was pretty fast there’s no comparison! I’m spoiled now for sure! Gonna be hard to go back😂 These verticals make very nice splits! Thanks Dick👊🏻

It’s amazing how much more wood you can split with the newer machines

That is some good looking oak. I have come to the conclusion that if you are splitting for bundles or kindling, the vertical splitter is the way to go. It is so precise

Yes it is James. I have came to the same conclusion now! So easy in the back as well! Thanks for watching 👊🏻

What you guys are doing now matches our operation almost exactly. We envisioned separating bundle, restaurant directly into totes, and bulk firewood off the conveyor into totes during the splitting operation right off of the @EastonmadeWoodSplitters Axis. Since then We've added a wheelbarrow for kindling bundles as well. Some of that was inspired by @KNLFirewood, thanks Mike! The @WolfeRidgeSplitters 17VS-C looks great, I see some pros and cons between it and the Axis but for sure both are great units. We are pulling some beautiful looking splits off these vertical splitters. I don't think anyone can go wrong with either unit.

You are absolutely right on these verticals. You can’t go wrong with either!!! Both great machines!! Yeah it took some time to evolve into this system we have now. Kinda learn and grow as you go program!😂 This vertical has definitely won my heart for what we are doing. Thanks for watching 👊🏻

That thing is so fast you're going to run out of wood lol. That red oak looked great. My favorite wood to burn. Before my tractor i only cut firewood logs I could lift. I built a log lift for my hydraulic machine but never installed it. It would be a game changer. We are not getting younger lol. Great video.

I had a feeling you would be on the hunt for more wood with that 17vs . It really is a game changer going from home owner splitters to commercial splitters .
