Looks like that splitter Really Gets It Done!!👍👊

[@HTPJohn]

Funny how time repeats itself. This is February 3rd 2020 and it was in the 60's today in central Indiana. God Bless you and your family.

[@jamesparsons9414]

That thing is the bomb!! I remember splitting wood w my Dad as a kid. He built his own splitter. We used to have to wrestle the big logs onto the I beam. This video brings back some great memories.

[@thepropertywestfinleypa9292]

Nice splitter I too saw it at Paul Bunyan show. Nice guys answered questions very polite and not pushy about there product. I will put on wish list

[@WolfeRidgeSplitters]

Thank you!!

[@Sean_Hartley]

Impressive wood splitter. Looks to be very well thought out and makes firewood even more fun to split! Thanks for sharing.

[@timminstraprs2169]

It's great to see commercial supply that are still hand made. That splitter is a beast, watch your hands mike.

[@edwardprice4185]

I’d love to have a machine like the wolf ridge! What a hell of machine and a great story of how they’ve come to be. Thanks Mike

[@kerrybowden9097]

Wow is right, that is a beast.. Its amazing we get to see so many great products produced by some very talented people... Great channel and family and that family keep the family busy...

[@shawnboss5542]

Very nice splitter, well thought out machine, love it

[@russellpetrie119]

brilliant story with the company a blessing in disguise

[@julianljackson]

Great Channel !!! So many try to duplicate your channel but no one can come close to you!! Thanks Mike keep it up...

[@lbfishin2156]

WOW some nice splitter, you get to play with the coolest toys!

[@milkman99100]

Great video and splitter!

[@spike0226]

Love that hydraulic wedge. What a time saver and thanks for the new product reviews. I enjoy that aspect of the channel.

[@henryrodgers3409]

Great video Mike . That is one heck of a nice splitter . Like the way the 4-way wedge moves up and down to split the rounds evenly . It even moves up all the way up to use the single wedge . Pricey yea but it will last you a life time if you take care of it . None of this leaving it outside like some people do . Have even seen some KZbinrs even leave their generator outside in the elements . Even the lifting arm is a great idea . No heavy lifting at all . I'm impressed .

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

MIKE, great story about Wolfe Ridge Manufacturing! Also the splitter demonstration, very impressive. Hopefully a win win for yinz both!

[@michaelbradley8508]

Powerful machine. The hydraulic height adjustment for the splitter is very nice as is the loader. Made in USA - Can't ask for more. Michael Bradley

[@mjmtreeservicemaintenance2940]

Chris Wolfe builds the very best in splitters and conveyors. Great company.

[@jasone9729]

Mike you are correct that you need 3 or 4 people on that machine to really get the full potential out of it. I think if you picked up an old hay elevator to put under that thing to get the split wood out of the way would be a cheap option. Big business gets all the attention but small businesses are what made this country great!

[@kdegraa]

It’s a pity small businesses are being hit left right and centre from all corners. It’s time for change.

[@chrismoore9402]

That thing looks like it preforms amazing

[@888HUSKERS]

Very nice splitter and story behind the product.

[@richfurman5463]

HI MIKE. I GOT MY WOLF RIDGE SPLITTER ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO AND I LOVE THE THING. I'VE GOT THE 28 TON MODEL BUT SADLY WITH NO WEDGE LIFT. IT WASN'T AVAILABLE AT THE TIME BECAUSE I ASKED CHRIS IF HE COULD PUT ONE ON THE MACHINE I BOUGHT AND HE SAID NO. I DID ABOUT 3 MONTHS OF RESEARCH ON SPLITTERS AND WHEN I FOUND WOLF RIDGE MY SHOPPING WAS OVER. EVERYTHING IS OVER BUILT INCLUDING THE 22 GPM PUMP THAT IS STANDARD EQUIPMENT. ALL THE OTHER ONES I LOOKED AT HAD 11 GPM PUMPS AND SMALL OIL TANKS WHICH LEADS TO OVERHEATING. OVER ALL ,I STILL THINK IT'S THE BEST MACHINE ON THE MARKET UNLESS YOU GET INTO THE WOOD PROCESSING OUTFITS. OH ONE LAST THING THE COMPANY IS AWSOME TOO. I GOT A PACKAGE IN THE MAIL YEARLY THIS SPRING AND IT WAS THE REAR STAND THAT WASN'T AVAILABLE WHEN I BOUGHT MY MACHINE. WHEN THEY STARTED MAKING THEM THEY JUST SENT ME ONE AT NO EXPENCE. THAT'S PRETTY GREAT. ENJOY YOUR NEW TOY,I KNOW I ENJOY MINE. P.S., I MOVE MINE AROUND IN MY BARN ALL THE TIME JUST BY PICKING UP ON THE FRONT END.

[@regsparkes6507]

Looks to be a good and powerful splitter for sure.

[@kahvac]

Its a nice machine... Eastonmade wood splitters also makes a nice machine.

[@JS-sh3nq]

That settles it, I’m buying this when I hit the lotto!!! Very nice.

[@proanchor4007]

That is a awesome machine!! I have spent a lot of time on a splitter. I can tell that it is a quality machine. I like the layout. It looks comfortable to run and most of all it's MADE IN USA!!! I will defiantly be looking in to Wolfe Ridge Manufacturing when my cheap China splitter explodes. LOL Thanks for another GREAT video!

[@craignash4736]

Hey Mike. Great video , boy that’s gets a lot done in no time . Thanks for taking time to video this for us. Craig. Pa. Guy

[@mikebarfknecht6336]

Geat video Mike as always. I just sent for info on Wolfes log table. Right in my back yard and didn't even know about them. Thanks.

[@jimlauber746]

That is a heck of a machine!!

[@1972jwalk]

Sweet , I love it !

[@Thesaltybow]

Man you get some cool toys to play with Mike. Nice.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Great looking splitter and a very quick cycle time!!!

[@motor2of7]

Snowed in (in California), power is out (on generator), fire burning, coffee is hot, OWTM video, life is good

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Nice machine.! You'll get a lot done with that.

[@mikeadams2339]

Splitter view with the camera on the splitter!! That was fun! Thankz Mike!

[@edwardkenny2356]

I just think it's great that you've been given access to such great tools. You definitely don't let them gather dust. Seems a 22hp splitter does everthing you ask of it. Thanks for the video 😊

[@obxkoastie8170]

Mike...You just demonstrated the Mother of all compact splitters; that beast is fast! Wish our church could afford one! Make our firewood mission splitting much faster. We would still need our vertical because we get some 48" rounds on occasion. Great video!

[@bradfoster6255]

Awesome machine!

[@Arcadia_Olive-Oil_Farms]

My opinion after seeing it, well priced and it will make it's money in a year or so!! Good product!!

[@Living-The-Dream]

That is one bad ass log splitter ! 👍🤠

[@conner6379]

Just got my 28 ton compact commercial a couple weeks ago and next to my outdoor furnace it's the best money I've ever spent..chris builds an amazing product and it's made in good ol U.S.A

[@cumminstbd05]

Nice machine. That cycle time is really impressive. I can definitely see your point about needing a helper to keep that machine fed and stacking what you split. I like the hydraulically controlled wedge too. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see how fast it functions when you have your helper!

[@mattbarker7739]

Very nice setup

[@mikedouglas1993]

Would love to see more of the splitter action! Looking to invest in one this spring. Great channel

[@johnnewman8282]

Great spliter . chris is a good dude ! All American made !

[@mikebrunner9155]

Great video Mike, I can watch other people work for hours...never gets old. That splitter is a monster. A balmy 7 degrees at 0900 Wednesday in western Nebraska with a light snow falling so colder temps are heading your way.

[@donmotz5528]

Wow Mike....that splitter looks very well made and is fast....pretty hard to fault it a bit.....nice......thanx for showing us....... :)

[@MrBubbahunt9]

That's a Sweet machine there mike....thanks for the post

[@blk90s13]

Chris is the man, great guy to deal with and makes a great product best thing it is made right here in the US of A Moe, Pharaoh Landscaping LLC. Howell NJ

[@gwaynel8363]

Wow what a splitter.

[@michaelfogarty7921]

Great machine and built in America.

[@506curtis]

Now that's a fast machine. Very nice.

[@zfilmmaker]

This splitter looks really nice and well built. I’ve never heard of the manufacturer (had to go Google them). I think if I had known about them before I bought my Woodmizer FS350, I could have saved a lot of money. I’ve owned a lot of Woodmizer mills and just go to them for this kind of stuff but it’s nice knowing Woodmizer has competitors offering just as high a quality product. I know you’re considering a mill and if you like I’ll impart some wisdom before you go down that route if you like. I’ve owned 4 Woodmizer’s through the years, from the base model to the top.

[@catfishstalkeroutdoorswith530]

Nice log splitter. Thanks for the video.

[@MorTTime]

Yup, looked at these before, they are awesome!

[@paullavoie8087]

Awesome tool!!!!

[@tacmed6957]

what a monster THX Mike

[@seanworkman431]

I want one, what a fantastic machine. As always love you honesty Mike. You probably load straight into a tote with a helper, specially a husler like Tractor Girl! Good show.

[@memyselfandifarmer]

Just watched there video on the splitter, conveyor and a table, that table is a great idea, adjustable cutting spans, waste high, no bending over.

[@michaeldougfir9807]

Hi, M&M, If I may I would like to share a couple of ideas with you: •Since you can put a receiver hitch on either end of this splitter, I would think you could also pull your dump trailer behind the splitter. Take more equipment all at once. To get really advanced, put the 3 point tool carrier on the tractor, hitch the splitter to it, then add the trailer to that. If you did this only once, it would make a good picture or short video. The Morgan Train! But I always take a lot of equipment, including a saw that I may not use, etc that would be easy to carry this way. I live by, "Just in Case." •On one end is the foot you crank down to support that end of the splitter. I put one of these on with a caster wheel. I have had occasion to pull the splitter over rough ground by hand. It was really nice to have the whole splitter on 3 wheels.

[@lloyddahlen1141]

Nice, thanks 😀

[@lorenledebuhr1004]

Nice unit good design

[@augustreil]

Very nice !

[@mp3625]

Kool spliter, luv tbe lift table and the wide end table!!

[@benscoles5085]

81 degrees in Central Va. it is now 67 at 6:15 pm, just got in from cutting wood, a good day to sweat out some of the winter fat it was interesting to watch this, as one round of wood became 4 pieces then 18 pieces, in about 40 seconds. that pretty slick, and no real WORK was exerted. the story about this splitter is fantastic, best of luck to those that produce this.

[@kspdt]

Thanks for the video a few back about shaping the split to get long flat splits for the end stacks. Being new, I hadn't thought of that before. I've been using it a lot now and it makes a huge difference. I've always just cut basic quarters, I'm trying to make more flat, or square splits for stacking, and likely to load in the fire box easier. Haven't tried that yet. I like the production of the 4x on the blade, but I'm kinda now getting into placing the split where I want it on the blade to get the piece I want. But, that's a homeowner talking, not a production guy.

[@bmorrison0070]

Very good story on the log splitter company.

[@wolfgangsereinig5305]

Awesome log splitter! Now you have two to feed (log splitter's).🌲👌

[@jeffpflum7964]

Mike, great video, I use a hay elevator for my fire wood. It works great, you can usually pick them up cheap. Iv used both pto driven and gas engine drive. Just a thought, good luck!!

[@alanross3435]

Hey Mike, That thing is a beast👍🏻 Another good video 👍🏻✌🏻️

[@JohnJohnson-vx2wr]

Great video Mike.

[@philipcross5332]

Impressive bit of kit Mike 👍

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Good video Mike, you need to get the Harem out there and stand back with the little tractor.That is one beast of a splitter. Have to rent that thing out when just setting around and pay for it PDQ. I like the bells and whistles and the great imagination that inspired the build. Thanks for sharing, gives people a lot to think about for mods on their own machines too.

[@woodcutter1742]

Two words. Nice machine!

[@edkeck3629]

Awesome review!

[@OutdoorswithErik]

That is a nice splitter, looks like an assembly line, I really like the shelf on the side to hold the logs, that would be a great feature, the default ones are a little small.

[@mikehornsby599]

What a great machine an a 22ton will split any thing you want!!!

[@curtschmidt8218]

love the adjustable splitting head

[@pmacaluso930]

A man and his toys love it 😃

[@donlaporte2301]

I've been in the market for some time now for a new splitter like that one... Its tough to pull the trigger on $$ only cutting around 70 face a year .... Mike you will love a conveyor .. I picked up a old grain conveyor last year man it makes a world of difference.. Ill try to get you some pictures to send.

[@king3717]

Now that's a log splitter.fast and powerful.

[@waynesheffield7011]

Amazing wood splitter. Sure wish it didn't cost this much, but I really want this. Now, time to convince the Ms. to let me buy it.

[@febbral]

Mike , that is a nice splitter, one feature that could be added is a cross member, a 2 inch channel beam towards front of Ibeam and using auto jack stands under channel beam that would prevent splitter from tipping with very large logs on lift table, Something in the order of 25 inch diameter and 24 -26 inch long. I built and added a hydraulic lift table to my 20 ton log splitter, and with the fore mentioned suggestion, the table will support a thousand pounds with no problem and will not flip log splitter.

[@rosslumayko5182]

Impressive🤙🏼

[@stephenrickettsNL]

A real Beast for sure.

[@normanmichaud9158]

Great video, liked the wood splitter but loved the wood splitter at the nine (9) minute mark

[@daveholmes123]

That splitter is awesome!!! I'd back that dump trailer up to that baby load as you split awesome video mike!

[@seenithere]

Wow!

[@andy84wilson]

I've been eyeing that machine....man what's a workhorse! My pockets aren't deep enough and my needs aren't great enough to justify the cost, but I'm sure if maintained and stored inside, that machine would last a lifetime. Thank you for the video

[@fiveacrehaven]

Great video and great splitter! Have had my eye on this exact model for awhile! Just waiting for when the paycheck tells me i can pull the plug. Ive watched their splitters over and over on their channel and am really impressed and with us being in MN, they are pretty close by. Thanks for this video

[@JohnWhite-si4xc]

yes Mike i do about a 1,000 cords or more a year in firewood that is all we do i go in the woods cut the trees down and skid them out cut it up split and so on i am getting on of the wolf ridge splitter that is station in a mill to make wrap kindling wood Chris is making me a box wedge for it thanks Mike for the post

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Nice! Thats a lot of firewood, where you from?

[@integralstanley]

Yes. Wow indeed. 🙂

[@michaelknulle6924]

Thats how i want a splitetr to be mike let,s split a huge mount of firewood cant wait to see moore videos

[@brianworley7705]

Wow. The only other splitter I have seen that is faster in the actual splitting is the kinetic energy type. That is pretty impressive I have to say. Look forward to seeing it in action again.

[@leehobin5132]

WOW, what a sweet working splitter sure will run circles around mine, wouldn't take long for me to put 6 cord through

[@cliffordlarson5425]

Nice Splitter

[@Just_in_time_outdoors]

enjoyed liked and commented.....hello Morgans from the Law family here in Michigan

[@sidogg4113]

A true American story behind the log splitter compnay!

[@stevemartinez6757]

WOW! That splitter is amazing! It would have taken me 3 times as long to split the wood that you did in a half hour with my little one. I wish that I could justify and afford a machine like that.

[@mjriegs2]

Wolfe ridge mfg makes a great product. I have one of their machines and it is a beast. Handles pretty much anything I throw at it and it is fast. Worth every penny IMO if you can afford it. No store bought machine even comes close to the fit/finish/heft/quality that goes into the wolfe Ridge splitters. Chris has a great thing going out there in Eau Claire, WI.

[@WolfeRidgeSplitters]

Thank you Matt!! Give me a call if you need anything!

[@poppelegreg14]

Wolfe Ridge MFG Hi Greg from Wisconsin Do you have this machine in stock ready for sale but would like the auto cycle upgrade. Thanks

[@WolfeRidgeSplitters]

@@poppelegreg14 We do have a short lead time to build right now of about 3 to 4 weeks. Please shoot me an email from the website and I can get you a quote sent over later today! Thank you so much for your interest in our machine!! Chris

[@poppelegreg14]

Wolfe Ridge MFG 👍 Excellent idea for letting Mike do a review on your splitter! He has many subscribers including me that highly hold his opinion on a product! Looks like a winner log splitter! Thanks Chris!

[@WolfeRidgeSplitters]

Greg, we do have a 28C just like the machine in this video, with a bit more power and auto cycle available now. Customer had something come up and had to postpone his purchase... Give me a shout in the next couple of days! 715 5nine8 7790
