WOLFE RIDGE RS 22 FIREWOOD SPLITTER IN ACTION!

[@Uradrunk]

I just want to thank you for actually displaying what firewood is all about… you’re not drinking every Friday night in front of the camera acting like your soo busy filling a bundle stand.. or trying to use your wife as a thumbnail to pick up for lack of views like some others… Nope it’s good ole honest reviews and real life work in the woodyard.. your channel by farrrrr is what most should learn from👍🏻 Thanks Chris

[@Dorchwoods]

You sound upset about other channels but don't want to say their names haha

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

@Dorchwoods : We all have our nitch, So I can't complain.

[@Dorchwoods]

@@DanielAtkinsFirewood it's just a weird and annoying comment to make. The other channels he is afraid to mention by name are awesome

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching!

[@InTheWoodyard]

You mean like The Morgans and Back 40 and Triple rustic design??

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Love the 22RS! You had some fair dislikes. I will say for the people watching that when ya go up to the 28Pro with adjustable wedge that eliminates the wood getting stuck on the bumper. Ya just raise the wedge a bit. As for the teeth on the log lift I’m with ya on that. As long as the machine is level wood really doesn’t vibrate off the lift. It’s gone too fast😂 Definitely a noticeable difference on power for ugly wood over the Ultra. Great video Chris👍🏻👍🏻GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Sir Toddeth!

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Chris. Thank you for the kind words and thoughtful words you made about my channel sticker at Bunyan last night. That truly made my evening. Even though I couldn't make it this year. 😊👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Any time my good man!

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Wolfe Ridge definitely makes some good machines. 😉👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes they do!

[@two-strokesmoke7289]

Work must "fascinate" other people too (two guys in the video, standing and watching intently)

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, people like to watch me work!

[@AlaskaWoodYard]

Hi Chris, nice hat ! We love living here in Alaska, released our first KZbin video yesterday. When you make it back up here we will give you a tour of our wood yard! Thanks for all your great advice on the equipment and gear you use. It’s helped us make some decisions on some of our purchases. Remember keep the sawdust flying! , Jeff and Jill Alaska Wood Yard.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Sounds great!

[@davidedwards3734]

Great video!!! Your two supervisors were making sure you did it right!! 😂😂😂😂😂 I use my log lift for storage and lifting. Helps speed up the process! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, they like to watch, the lift is a nice extra work space.

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Jeremiah Haas from "Outdoors in the 608" had a special wedge made for him that goes down even lower than standard to make bundle wood. Split some 24-36in pine rounds on my Wolfe Ridge 28C with the single wedge. Almost no scraps. Got more dcrap from the pine bark that fell off than from the wood itself. The single wedge works really nice to bust the big rounds with.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Nice!

[@TwinCityFirewood]

Nice splitting. I really like the looks of that machine!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Me too! Thanks!

[@kyleferber1519]

Those big blocks can sure be a pain to maneuver around, but I will say, they definitely pile up fast once they’re split. That’s some impressive power to split through those knots to come out as smooth as I milled board.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, they make a bunch of wood!

[@thomashorn5062]

Again… great to see you supporting a Wisconsin based product. Great videos.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!

[@rickthelian2215]

Chris some good points for improvements, you did give it a workout.😊

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!!

[@lyndseymarieburke1834]

Nice splitter Chris😊 and Good Morning to everyone, anything that helps make it easier! I have a Timber Wolf TW-5 and love it!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, good equipment is nice!

[@jandblawncare8570]

Hopefully Chris and company at Wolferidge take these suggestions and tweak the design because it's a great splitter. Ive seen others that say that table end pinches the wood and the other suggestions are on point too. Im with you as far as those big rounds, it's so much easier to take 30 seconds and cut into half than try to maneuver a several hundred pound piece of wood. For me the auto cycle would be perfect, I grab rounds out of the back of my dump trailer so everything is waist high and no bending over!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Here is another solution. I split some bigger pine rounds yesterday, 24-36in diameter with the single wedge on my Wolfe Ridge 28C. Was going for bundle/campfire wood. Didn't have any trouble handling the halves that were split. Waiting for some nice big hardwood to see how well it works when I leave them intact.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@InTheWoodyard]

yup

[@90TBD]

I think we would all love to see a comparison between the rs and the ultra!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Maybe some day!

[@Cametobelieve81]

I'm looking at a wolf ridge splitter. Saw you at Paul Bunyan today. Should have stopped you to say hi. Safe travels.

[@InTheWoodyard]

They make good stuff! I will be there again tomorrow!

[@jameschandler2776]

Any oak is darn heavy. The reason you like ripping is that you have big saws. I have been ripping red oak rounds lately. I don't enjoy it but it is all I have.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, ripping makes it easier to handle!

[@roncaron-l1r]

Good morning Chris nice to see again great video love it Wolfe Ridge RS 22 SPLITTER in Action (TY Ron

[@InTheWoodyard]

Hello! Thanks!

[@timrydman-mr5hp]

Some tough splitting there. It handled it great.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@larryvankirk7423]

Nice video Chris. Your woodyard is sporting lots of new toys. GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!! You got that right!

[@saltrock9642]

Looks like a road trip to Missouri might happen this coming spring. Unless shipping costs to Louisiana is reasonable. Fun show, thanks Chris.

[@DennisTrom]

shipping costs to anywhere aren't reasonable these days!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Correct!

[@michaelsmith8412]

Introduction to video says RS 17. 😄 Good video.👍🤘

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks 😃

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Morning Chris , very good points on what mods need to be done . That is the splitter I want but I want the white or OF green . Enjoy PB

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Del!

[@robertblacksmith4355]

Looking forward to your Bunyan videos 😊

[@InTheWoodyard]

Me too, we just got back....I have about 4 weeks of videos ahead of them to edit first!!!

[@michelsauve6264]

After watching this vlog. We see who the real pro at splitting is. Funny how the WR 22 is so similar to the Eastonmade Ultra. Only difference I see is. You seem to be wrestling the rounds. Cool video.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!

[@pyroman6000]

That first big round you showed looks just like this massive hunk of hard maple I've been putting off dealing with, lol. About 24" long, too- so a big ol cookie needs cut. I'll have to split it right where it is, as no way am I lifting a piece of green hard maple that size into my truck. At least it's strait, and without knots or crotches.

[@InTheWoodyard]

You might want to rip it!

[@outdoorsinthe608]

The 22 RS is a great splitter!👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes it is!

[@haroldanderson2781]

We won’t disappoint you! I hope your ultra isn’t getting jealous.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@compostjohn]

Two characters appear at 2:30. One says to the other "I love work, I do" with the reply - "Yes, I could stand around and watch it for hours...." 😀

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, lots of watchers!

[@iffykidmn8170]

Either a jack on the back of the splitter or a pin adjustable drop foot which may be easier to use no crank in the confined area at the back of the splitter, lower the tongue slightly drop pin adjustable foot and then raise the tongue with crank.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@aldredske6197]

Good morning Chris!!😀😀

[@InTheWoodyard]

Hello Al!!

[@upinsmokefirewood]

That's a nice looking machine. I think that's a good idea with the lift teeth. I hung a split up on the teeth on my 28c and bent the lift! With my super splitter it is a terrible tow! I let the tire pressure way down before I tow it (wouldn't go more than a mile or two) that keeps it from bouncing so much.

[@iffykidmn8170]

I believe most people inflate the tires to whatever the max side placard states rather than for the weight of the trailer/splitter, ex two tires rated for 1500lbs each at Xpsi equals 3000lbs and then wonder why a 500lb splitter bounces down the road.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, a bouncy trailer is scary!

[@InTheWoodyard]

yup!

[@coreyriley7160]

G’morning Chris. An awesome unit ! Chewed those monster rounds like nothing. Looks great. GoodNightIrene

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, she eats!

[@thefirewooddoctor]

I roll the rounds instead of wrestling them. Have split some 24in oak on my 28C without beating up my body. As far as towing goes, extend the splitter cylinder all the way forward to help with the tongue weight.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, big wood is work!

[@adeadcrab]

thank you

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching!

[@samskeeter1]

Those big 30/35" blocks would be far easier on a vertical splitter. Once you've cut them in half you can't roll them.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, big wood is hard to handle!

[@VicsYard]

Nice machine

[@InTheWoodyard]

It sure is!

[@jeffkarenlandmark196]

i roll them on to the lift. Nice video

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks 👍

[@carl27890]

If you were buying one of their smaller splitters when it comes to options, would you choose the log lift or go with the auto forward cycle and small table? I feel like that 6 seconds to fumble or grab pieces without holding onto the control would be very helpful, I have no idea if I would be getting a lot of large large rounds being far away for tree services but I to am an advocate of ripping rounds. I’m hoping they come out with electric!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup...ripping is better...auto return!!!!!

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Saw you teetering at the top of the stands in front of the chipping and mulching area at Bunyan today. I was ready to call EMS.😂😂🤣 Just kidding! You looked right capable up there!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Ha!!! Thanks, it was hard to do while filming !!!

[@rebeccarobinson7024]

Really sweet that's what it stands for lol

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good one!

[@tpctrash]

Good suggestions. I agree. Never liked the teeth on the lifts in on any splitter. Too much fighting the wood.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup!

[@seanpuffer8436]

Got a question for a 1 man operation. Would you say the log lift would be a better option with that cycle time instead of getting the auto cycle?

[@InTheWoodyard]

I would recommend an auto cycle AND the log lift if possible.

[@cutNdryfirewood]

Wow another Wolfe Ridgel video🤩👍 Do you like the easy wedge adjustment?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it works great!

Split into lots of small pieces. Must be for the pizza oven 😁.

Could be, but 97.31931% f my customers want smaller wood not boiler wood.

[@hellinabucket3]

Put the big ones on the VS17.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I can do that!

[@hellinabucket3]

@@InTheWoodyard Cool! I have some 20" or so live oak rounds, the bigger ones had to be ripped for us to load in the truck, and I am curious how it would handle something like that. My old Dirty Hands 35 Ton splitter does OK, but it is hard on the back bending over. I would love to see that the VS17 would be a good future investment.

[@MattOrsman-p6s]

Rip’em! Way quicker that way with a horizontal splitter

Yup, I agree!

[@patmesser5737]

I would not buy from you. You splint everything to tooth picks. The end of the night you want to burn thick logs to last 6-8 hours

[@InTheWoodyard]

You are not my customer. I sell to fireplace, fire pit and camping people....not boiler wood unless it is a custom order. 95% f the 250 full cords I sell every year is for enjoyment not heat and those people pay more for wood that boiler people who are trying to save money burning wood.
