- Splitting just a few huge rounds yield a lot of good splits! Making some restaurant smoker wood and some bundle grade splits.Little every day adds up.
Them big rounds produce some mighty fine barkless splits . Keep them videos coming Todd we all like seeing what ya doing .
Yes they do! Split more today and got some beautiful barkless bundle grade! So satisfying on a vertical machine too! Thanks Phil👊🏻
I think that splitter needs to get a TOA sticker on it! To me it looks like the perfect fit for your woodyard. I enjoy your videos, so time length doesn't matter to me. But if shorter time means more time for Evan and Kendra before they leave 👍👍 Thanks for sharing I really appreciate the time you spend making time for us! 👍👊
Well maybe when the splitter goes back I can talk Norm into letting me put a TOA sticker on it!😂 Thanks for always supporting Ken! I appreciate ya👊🏻
At least you're not the only one hogging all the hot, humid, brutal, hellish weather for sure!🥵🥵 I really enjoy watching you become a master using the WR 17 VS-C and separating the various splits. The log lift sure makes a difference, don't know how I ever made it without one!! I totally enjoy your videos Todd so whatever is easier on you, especially in this heat, to produce is fine by me.
Yes this heat has been a real challenge! I’m a big baby in heat😂 Yeah I had myself talked out of a log lift but after having this 17VS I’m leaning toward one again. Especially since we will have more tree service wood! I always appreciate your kind comments! Take care Obie👊🏻
That vertical splitter shines with that big stuff. That is what they are made for!
You’re not kidding Russ. This has been an eye opening experience for me! Love the vertical! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Just do the best you can dude, I imagine it's a lot of work. There seems to be less and less firewood channels worth watching so I really look forward to your new content. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate that! I hope I can continue to keep your attention! I just video what we are doing🤷♂️ I’m glad you are enjoying Cowshott👊🏻
You can't beat the log lift! Those big rounds are a bunch of work but they are also a lot of great firewood.
Yes they are. I have been fortunate enough to have this demo and I have realized the importance of a lift! I also see a vertical really shines on big rounds! No lifting at all once it’s on the table! Thanks for watching Tony 👊🏻
I have been waiting on my Axis and Ms324 for almost 9 weeks now. You have been the first one I have found to give a close up view of the business end of that splitter. I think I may have made a mistake.
Well I’m not gonna throw dirt on the Axis because I have little experience with it but I gotta say this WR 17VS is a very impressive machine!! I appreciate the feedback and support Ronald👊🏻
Absolutely Awesome Splitter Todd !!
I agree , it doesn't get any better than that. Nice big rounds of Oak made into barkless wood very quickly.
Yes this splitter has been mind blowing how easy it has made things for us!! Big rounds on a vertical are a breeze!! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
I feel ya man with trying to keep producing multiple videos per week. Keep up the good work and grind!
Thanks I appreciate you taking time to watch and comment! Happy 4th👊🏻
Nice work Todd, I love cutting and noodling big wood👍
Well there ya go! I do t mind noodling either but lifting and splitting on this VS sure has been nice too! Appreciate ya watching Genin👊🏻
Beautiful sized wood with those vertical splitters ❤️
I think so too! Very easy to make custom splits!! Thanks for watching Brandon👊🏻
I'm probably not your target audience but I enjoy time lapse portions of the actual log felling, bucking, stacking then the splitting and piling into drying piles or totes. The talking portions go over my head since it's not part of my world. However I just jump through them so you keep doing you and I will partake of whatever bits you offer if they interest me.
Well thanks for enjoying some of the parts😂 That is awesome that you enjoy the time lapse. I gotta say if you watch enough then the talking parts will become second nature to ya. I appreciate ya watching and commenting puirYorick👊🏻
@@toddsoutsideagain You're most welcome.
Hi Todd. A little at a time definitely adds up. This heat has been brutal. I enjoy watching so do what you can I’ll continue to watch.
Yes it has 🥵 I appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching Bill👊🏻
Wolfe Ridge is the best, hands down. Love my Pro28c.
Well I’ve always been partial to WR and Chris Wolfes story! Thanks for watching Matthew👊🏻
Roll out the vids as you like , I’ll be checking out what you’re doing TOA. Enjoy your 4th Holiday 🧨🧨
I always appreciate your continued support, brother! Have yourself a great fourth as well👊🏻🇺🇸🍻
Long videos are awesome. Keep them up!!,
Well I’m glad you are enjoying! We will see how the summer goes and keep at it! I appreciate ya Martin👊🏻
Nice work my good man....you got some nice lookin' wood!
Well thank you Sir Chris! That means a lot coming from the master! I appreciate ya👊🏻
Keep cuttin' Todd, great episode, great set up.
Cuttin never ends! Thanks Travis👊🏻
Wow, those are some big pieces, and that splitter is eating them up. That splitter really lets you control the split and makes some beautiful wood. I appreciate the time you take to make the videos. and realize how time consuming they are. You should do what works best for you, we will watch whatever you put up. Tell Evan the picaroon he traded me at the Hoosier has helped this old man a whole lot and it is appreciated. I wish him luck in college. I am sure you are going to miss him.
Yes these big rounds are a breeze on a vertical splitter!! I appreciate the feedback on my videos! I will tell Evan. Yes I will be a lost pup when he leaves! Thanks James👊🏻
Love the big rounds! I always take them, little bit hard to handle but you get quality pieces out of them. The more videos the better Brother!! Love watching, Stay Safe, Keep Cuttin!🪵🪵🪵🪵
Yes big rounds are worth it in my opinion!! This machine has made them even more worth it! So much easier to handle on a vertical machine. I appreciate your suggestion on the vids and your support 👊🏻
Man I love that splitter!!
Beautiful splits you made buddy!!
I’ll be watching however you put out your videos!!
Enjoyed it!! 👊🏻
I love this splitter! Especially on the biggins! So easy to handle on a vertical machine! I appreciate your input and support of the channel Jacob👊🏻
Great splitter and it looks like it is good for morale this time of year. Can't beat free wood delivered to your place!
Yes it sure makes the idea of going out in this heat more appealing! 😂Getting wood delivered sure does make it easier. Appreciate ya watching 👊🏻
That splitter is awesome! I appreciate you takimg the time to put out this content!
I'm hoping to someday have that exact splitter (without the conveyor)
Yes this splitter has been so satisfying to run! The conveyor is great. I think for what we do I would order it without the conveyor as well. We could just slide the wood right into our little trailer. Now I would get the conveyor if I had a tractor and then I would let the splits fall right into an IBC tote and then move them with a tractor. Depends on your operation🤷♂️ Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Beautiful wood! You guys sure are building up the inventory. Hard work pays off! The 2nd video each week would be great but do what you can. I'll watch no matter how many videos you do. - Tim
Yeah inventory is building but it’s never enough right😂 I appreciate your support Tim👊🏻
@@toddsoutsideagain as Chris says, the right amount is always more!
Such a great video. That splitter is awesome. Those logs look premium. Keep on keeping on ❤
Appreciate the kind words! This splitter is awesome. So grateful to have this opportunity! Thanks Jason👊🏻
The vertical splitter makes short work of those huge rounds!! Great video!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Yes it does! I can’t believe the difference!! Mind blowing. Thanks for watching David! 👊🏻
Big rounds are worth it for me as well, even before I got the Wolfe Ridge.
Till the kids are off to college, if all you can do is 1 video a week, that's ok with us..
90s for us here in Western Washington for this weekend 😮
Happy Independence Day. 😉👍
Totally agree! Just even more worth it with a commercial splitter! Thanks for always being a supporter Daniel👊🏻
Absolutely the huge rounds are worth it, like you said even if you don’t have a lift. If there is a will there is a way! I will be there Wednesday and Sunday!!😂 Great looking splits Todd👍👊🍻🇺🇸
Totally agree! Even better with a lift or a good tractor. So many splits come out of them and a lot of barkless!! Thanks for the support Jeremiah 👊🏻🍻
Great video!!!
Thanks Jean. I appreciate your feedback and support 👊🏻
You made some beautiful firewood Todd. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks Kenny! We will do our best! As long as I’m still having fun we’re gonna keep it going! Appreciate ya watching 👊🏻
@toddsoutsideagain you said the key word, fun.
Them 300 lbs round 😮, you should put cooking oil on the splitter table, make it easy to more the round under the splitter wedge todd . Cooking oil like 👍 peanut or corn 🌽 is an organic oil great for the BBQ bundles 😊.
Thanks for the tip!👊🏻
Putting the splitter to the test with those big pieces 💪🏼
@@fatefarmspa give me a few weeks. I've got bigger stuff than this to split when I get my VSC next week. LOL, the gauntlet has been thrown down.
@@thefirewooddoctor lol
@@fatefarmspa what fun is firewood without a little banter and friendly rivalry? Todd seems to be a great guy. Wish I had more time to chat with him at the Frenzy.
@@thefirewooddoctor that’s for sure 👍
Heck ya!! Norm told me to use it😂 Awesome splitter! Thanks for watching Tom👊🏻
Nicely done! Those biggin's are definitely worth it!
Yes they are! Especially on a vertical!!! This I have now realized. Thanks Mike👊🏻
Those barkless pieces darn near look like lumber!
😂 They sure do resemble 4x4’s! Thanks for stopping by Steve👊🏻
Good splitting 👍 Love that machine 😍
You and me both Lyle!! It really shines on the big rounds! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Hello Todd, understand the morning and evening is the best time to work in the Woodyard. Did you build that 5th great stall? Looks great! That vertical splitter sure was a nice one. Have great 4th with family.
Yes Sat Sun mornings and evenings after 6:30 are my woodyard times😂 The 5th wheel port we did build! Evan and my wife were my support team! Appreciate ya watching and have a great 4th🇺🇸
That thing works well for big rounds . But that’s why I bought the 4409 split fire for the excavator. But as I say it works very well .
Yeah those splitter attachments are awesome for breaking down the biggins! If I had equipment I would have one!
Nice as always 🇧🇻👍
Thanks Fredrik! I always appreciate ya watching 👊🏻
I’m sure all will take whatever you like to make!
Thanks Stan. I appreciate the feedback!👊🏻
See the power coat paint come off on wolf ridge , that want it look 👀 like 👍 in the video. If so might have run that by Chris at wolf ridge .
That machine has seen a LOT of wood across the table. @Todd's Outside Again how many hours on her now?
That Cherry will split bad when cut into boards . But it’s pretty wood .
Well I have the most use for slabs! I usually just leave the logs a little long that way if it splits I got room! I hear you though my dad does a little woodworking and it will split pretty bad! Thanks for watching Jason👊🏻
I wish I had one. That splitter reminds me of a butcher shop where everything is right where it needs to be to make work flow easier. To not have to rip/bust 300# rounds into 1/4’s would be nice because I mostly go after big rounds to make the trips to the dump site worth while.
Having the opportunity to run this demo has really opened my eyes to vertical splitters. You are absolutely spot on with your analogy!! Thanks for watching Salt Rock👊🏻
Sell that camper you don't need it anymore. You need that 17VS to make tree service wood easier to deal with.
Well ya got a point! That camper will start getting used more this year! It will be our hotel on wheels to visit the kids in college😂 Thanks for watching Everett👊🏻
A short video is fine. A length of around 10 minutes works great.
I’m a little long winded! A 10 minute video would be a challenge for me😂 I appreciate the feedback👊🏻
The size of the round doesn't matter one bit with a quality commercial vertical splitter. Split your round into any size you want. Perfect machine for a solo operation. The only caveat to that is when the round gets to be bigger than your working table depth, then do your self a favour and pre split your round into smaller chunks. They're easier to man handle.
Yeah, I hear ya on the vertical splitter! The vertical does save on the manhandling!! Being able to slide them on the big work surface makes all the difference! Thanks for watching and commenting 👊🏻
Size of our limbs , we cut into hardwood. What would call a tree 5 feet 🦶 to 8 feet common across . Biggest yellow birch I cut in my life time just under 17 feet across . Two yrs ago my cousin cut a birch 15 .9 feet 🦶 across todd . 😊
😂 Ya I bet our Midwest trees look tiny to you!
Todd did you sleep 💤 in 7:30 am in morning. Logger life your out the door 🚪 1 1/2 before day light to get the wood 🪵 landing to fire up the logging equipments . One ☝️ thing easy to put in 12 hrs plus in the timber . Get out side for all day no problem here because we are getting snow ❄️ in high county the last two night .
Oh I’m up much before 7:30! I just don’t wanna wake up the neighbors too early😂
I'll definitely have a VSC by next spring.
I sure hope it works out for ya! You’re gonna love it! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
@toddsoutsideagain actually am getting one next week! Thanks to your videos on splitting the kindling and stuff small like that.
@@thefirewooddoctor Awesome! Congrats!!
@toddsoutsideagain I'll try to remember to give you some credit. Over 2yrs ago I ordered my 28C. A few months later, tried out Tony's Cool Tools Axis and loved it. Knew I bought the wromg machine for me. Now I cam correct that.
It looks worth it to me.
They definitely are especially with a vertical splitter. Makes a huge difference that I have been fortunate enough to learn! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
You could keep up with Chris in the wood 🪵 yard put out one every day , but he own do a face cord to a day if lucky 🍀. I guess he don’t have 5 semi logger trucks and logging equipments to look 👀 after to be running 24/ 7 around clock ⏰ now this time of the season . I’m getting out side in 20 min got semi and trailer drop in for diesel and grease job and 5 new tires 🛞 to be put on . Remember RUBBER on the ROAD !!! 😮 see it at moose crossing sign RUBBER on the ROAD ! Todd . 😮😅
Thanks Leonard. I always enjoy your comments 👊🏻
I like the bigger wood myself it seems to save some time. I like the 2 videos a week. But the week that it's too hot you could always make two videos in one day. 🤔
Yeah the bigs rounds sure do create a lot of quality splits! We will see how the vids go. I like to put out two vids! I guess it just depends on if I have something exciting enough to put on video😂 Thanks for your feedback and support Kevin👊🏻
Longer video on both days.😊
😂 Well I appreciate that! Thanks Ted👊🏻
On the west coast every time I get tree service company wood I ask for 16" length and they always cut it 18 to 24" long then I have to break it down and I end up with a big mess of cookies. I just stopped we have an abundance of wood out here it's not worth it.
Yeah I hear ya! I’m pretty up front with the two tree service companies I work with. They usually either bring whole logs or I go to them and cut it up myself! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
where are you located?
Southern Illinois. Just across the river from St. Louis! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
@@toddsoutsideagain ok. i am east central il. Buckley 30 mi.n. of champaign. you have a nice place .like you channel.
Hello Todd, nice splitting 👏 Had to resubscribe again👍🏼🪵🇺🇸
Welcome back! I had no idea you got dropped! I appreciate ya Larry👊🏻🇺🇸
