Wolferidge 17VS First use and First impressions

After a lot of research I bought the 17VS vertical splitter. I have a lot of large rounds and trees that naturally fall on my property. After trying a horizontal splitter that can pivot vertically, I decided that was too hard and got something that would be kind to my back. This was it.

That’s a nice looking splitter, congratulations

I was wondering if we would see the hi-lighter colored 17VS on social media! Nice and congrats Dude!

Thanks. It was cool to see it in some of their videos before they shipped it

Thanks for the video! I just placed an order for a 17VS-E/C (electric with conveyor) and was originally thinking of a custom color but decided to go with their gray (which I think makes for a very nice looking splitter). After seeing yours, I might have to revisit this…it would be cool to have a splitter that the astronauts on the International Space Station could see from space! 😄

My thoughts exactly

[@amandadavis9726]

I think your technique is spot on,…split a round in half, then split the halves into slabs, then split the slabs into whatever size splits you desire. That’s what I do with my Super Split.

Half the price of EASTONMADE wood 🪵 splitter 😊.

I'd like to see it split Shore Pine we have on the west coast. Some of the nastiest wood to split

[@Pastaman350]

That hickory had a lot of internal knots. Smooth on the outside but when you split it , you find the internal knots and the piece ends up curved on the split

Do you plan on making more videos with th 17vs

[@Pastaman350]

@@user-rb8mk7vv3t maybe. I have an idea for a gate for the lifting arm that if I work it out may do a video
