We have a small mobile splitting job to do. Since it's less that 2 cords I'm not going to pack the conveyor up on the Eastonmade 22-28. I sure will miss that pullback arm! The Wolfredge pro 28C is going on this road trip.

Hi Todd. That's true, and for easy fast production you can't beat the Eastonmade 22-28 with the box wedge and attached conveyor!

Hi Joe. I charge $100/hr with two men. I also have a 2 hour minimum. I’ve mentioned in other comments that is probably a bit low. On the other hand, that job took us 2.5 hours, and after labor cost and overhead it was still profitable.

@oldguyfirewood7 ай бұрын
Hi Joe. Wolfe Ridge doesn’t offer a box wedge for the 28C. The Eastonmade 22-28 adjustable height box wedge is a perfect fit for the wood i deal with. I can tell you, the box wedge and pullback arm allow me to produce wood like I could 50 years ago!

I like watching you use that splitter more than the other one. I ended up getting one just like yours except gunmetal gray and I put your sticker on it and a magnetic drink holder. After waiting for 10 months on the allwood. I couldn’t wait any longer. Chris Wolf told me I could have it by Christmas and made good with his word.

Hey Jeff. The Wolfe Ridge is a great machine. The Eastonmade 22-28 with box wedge and attached conveyor takes my production to a different level. With the 22-28 I can really pump the wood out with minimum physical effort.

Funny Dan... I was thinking the same thing when I saw Dan's video. Wolfe Ridge 35C is a good choices but check all your options. Take a look at the Eastonmade 12-22. You can't go wrong with either one.

@@oldguyfirewood I think I need more power then the 12-22. The 22-27 out my budget. I got box store splitter now. Anything be better. My back needs a log lift. I work full time just do wood as a hobby. With my dad being gone maybe I sell the wood I always got in for him. Normally do 4 or so for myself and 8 for him. So I like to see him if I can double that.
