This machine has taken the vertical wood splitter to another level. The engineering and thought that has gone into this machine is pretty impressive. If I was in the market for one of these, this would be my choice. I think your getting a good bang for your buck in comparison to everything else that's on the market in this category. The other guys are either gonna have to lower their prices or improve their machines...simple as that. I think you guys are gonna be real busy making these.

Well, I just see something that is a pretty good form of flattery. One of Wolfe Ridge's competitors has just COPIED one of the features on their machine. They still have a long way to go to be as good as Wolfe Ridge, but them copying the idea is a good acknowledgment of how good The 17VS and 17VS-C vertical splitters really are. Did I say they still have a LONG way to go to beat or even equal the 17VS-C? Well, they need to try a lot harder it seems! Honestly, theirs are not as good as your 17VS without the conveyor either. They make good stuff but no where near you in the vertical game. Not even close! I would give my specific opinions but since I do not work for them or get paid to explain to them where they fall short, I'll leave this just as a general thought. Anyway, please feel free to copy this comment to your other vertical video's since I think folks have a right to know before possibly spending their hard earned money on an inferior product and regretting it later. I think if people REALLY LOOK than they will see this brand that copied your idea and all others fall very short. No folks, I don't personally know either owner ( Chris or the other guy ) but I know quality and this splitter by Wolfe ridge is the very best being made that I know of. This post is not meant to be negative to the other manufacturers, it is to make people look at the verticals and see for themselves that there is no contest right now. Anyway, I hope that I have helped someone by bringing this up and again a big thumbs up to Wolf Ridge for their vertical offerings!

It needs a Wolf Ridge brand logo sticker on this side of the machine . The operator station is the side you will always see on Y tube, no one ever films from the front. If there is one thing Andrew Easton did correctly it's connecting his brand with two colors, when you see a green tractor do you question what brand it is? The Wolf Ridge logo is what represents your brand, when you see it there is no question at all. Marketing matters boys.

I noticed that you use hydraulic hoses the whole length of the conveyor, with the high cost of hydraulic hose and for a cleaner look wouldn't it be better to use steel line for the long runs with short supply hoses on the ends?

Been waiting for this one! Excellent! Certainly rivals Allen family firewood splitter on speed. I do think Dana's ( s'more firewood channel ) design for gravity feed linkage is extremely clever along with a flow control and so that edges your out in that, but bar none, YOURS IS THE BEST VERTICAL SPLITTER BEING MANUFACTURED AND SHOWN CURRENTLY. Everything else being built now has got a lot of catching up to do if you ask me. A LOT....... Your splitter works so well that the conveyor has trouble keeping up. I'm not sure but maybe something on the paddles of the conveyor to grab the wood better/quicker or maybe a little wider trough?? I don't think the conveyor is fully optimized BUT It's a nice problem to have when a manufacturer makes a single wedge splitter that can outrun a conveyor and not vice versa ha, ha. Maybe that's the key..... Take a sip of water, soda or whatever while you wait for the conveyor to catch up. That way a person can stay hydrated while they work. Man, you guys think of everything 🙂 Thanks for the video. Going to watch this again now. Bob, keep 'em coming. Enjoying them.
