Nice work Todd and Evan, thanks so much for working with Norm and Tom at Widman's. Many people forget about our dealer network who have machines in stock to look at anytime. We have another semi load of splitters heading to St Louis next week! Take care! ❤❤
Well I’m having fun so far and I think this colab is gonna work out great for both of us. Norm called yesterday and he had some great news that has already happened for him because of the first video release just three days ago. He might have to add a few more splitters to that load🤣 It was Bobs idea to make this connection with Norm and I at Hoosier and I wanted to definitely point out the dealer network!! Thanks for all the great equipment Chris👊🏻🇺🇸
Awesome! I’m hoping it’s going to swing by my place to drop off a VS17-C 😉
You guys make great splitters. Do you have a dealer in Western Pennsylvania?
@@offthetrailsoutdoors1169 Hartville Hardware is the closest dealer to you. Lots of machines in stock. Thanks!
@toddsoutsideagain I keep hoping that a VSC will fall off the truck and roll to a stop in my woodyard. But my 28C is probably scaring off the VSC.
That’s a great splitter Todd. You will never be satisfied with your box store splitter after using a true commercial splitter. You did a great job explaining the situation. It’s truly a win/win.
Yes it is Dick! Well the boxer is like I told someone else is just on vacation! It will get used again but I’m not sure I will enjoy it as much!😂 Yeah it had to be a scratch each others back situation for me to be comfortable borrowing this splitter! The only thing I could contribute was my reach on CZcams to bring awareness to Norm and the dealer network! I got a call from Norm three days after the first video and I was very happy to hear he had already benefited from this collaboration. It is doing what I had intended! Thanks for your continued support 👊🏻
Hey Todd, I'm glad you and Norm were able to make the connection and I really appreciate your content! Thanks for the video, looking forward to seeing what you can get done with that VS before it heads back down the road. Have a good week!
Well thanks again to you Bob for helping make that connection! We are having a blast running the VS and hope to get out some more content that might be of interest to people who might be looking into a vertical unit! Appreciate ya watching and commenting 👊🏻
Nice job, it’s great that awesome companies like Wolf Ridge and Eastonmade have confidence in their subscribers to offer a demo program. You are going to get so spoiled with that 17VR. You and Evan have fun👍TCT
Well Tony I’m humbled! This was actually an idea from Bob Nelson at Hoosier. He introduced me to Norm and He is making it possible! Got a call from Norm yesterday and he has already seen the power of social media work to his advantage. That was such satisfying news to hear! That’s what it’s all about for me! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Well, huge congratulations Todd and Evan on having a WR 17VS on your property!!! Great job on working with Widman Cycles to make this all happen for you! You know how I feel about the 17 VS and so glad it was you two who are helping everyone else benefit by the collaboration. Enjoy it while it is in your possession and hope it leads to many more awesome opportunities for you and Wolfe Ridge!!! Get outside and get splittin'!!!
Thanks Bill. We sure are humbled for the opportunity. I really wanted to make sure I could give back to Norm if we were going to do this colaboration!! I’m not one to borrow. So I wanted to really focus on the WR dealer network that I knew som folks weren’t aware of. After the first video release Norm called and said he had some good news! I was so happy to hear the colab has already been beneficial to him. That’s what it’s all about. Thanks for always supporting Evan and I and the channel! Take care Obie👊🏻
When i got my Wolfe Ridge splitter, I was surprised at how fast I am able to split and load the truck and trailer.
I know by myself I can do a half cord in about 1 hour. Depending in the size of rounds.
The oil cooler on any larger machine is a must. 😉👍
You’re not kidding Daniel. I figured that out in a real short amount of time! Stacking is happening way more frequently 😂
She's a beaut Sir Toddeth!
Thanks Sir Chriseth! You need one! Appreciate ya watching and commenting 👊🏻
Couldn’t have happened to any nicer people!! Great machine and great video. I honestly had no idea till your last video that Wolf Ridge had dealers throughout the country and splitters in stock at those locations!! Excellent job Witman Cycles & WolfeRidge!
Well, I appreciate that Brandon. When I was approached with this idea from Bob Nelson, I sat on it for about 4 to 5 days. I’m not the borrowing kind. Evan actually was pushing me to give Norm a call and after I finally did, we hit it off and had a great visit. I was not going to do it unless it was going to help both of us. After the phone call I received yesterday from Norm, the power of social media is already paying off for him!! That was the spin I wanted to put on this collaboration was to make sure people were aware of the network of dealerships and it has already worked! Thank you watching and continuing to support the channel!👊🏻
Very nice splitter TOA., That thing is set up nice 👍👍 from me. Awesome vid by the way , you guys operate it like you owned it for years , nice . Later on . Have fun folks and safe week ahead you’all.
Thanks brother!I always appreciate the positive feedback and support👊🏻 You have a great week as well Richy👊🏻🍻
When Evan goes off to college I think he is going to go through wood splitting withdrawals! Nice job guys 👍👊
😂 Well I’m sure he will think about it. I’m betting he will be kept busy on his new adventure! I’m pretty sure when he comes home for a visit I won’t have to split any wood🤣 Thanks Ken👊🏻
Congratulations guys this opportunity couldn’t have happened to a better team! The VS is a perfect splitter for your needs!! What a great company 💪💪👍👍👊👊
Thanks J! I appreciate the kind words! We are humbled by this opportunity! I appreciate your continued support of the channel. That is what made this possible👊🏻🍻
Great video fellas!! Happy for y’all to get the pleasure of running some top notch equipment and working with Wolfe ridge!! I’m sure it’ll work out great for both parties!! That’s my dream splitter there!! Maybe one day!!
Thank y’all for the video!!
Enjoyed it!! 👊🏻👊🏻🔥🪵
Thanks Jacob! It’s definitely a great splitter and we are humbled to get this opportunity. It has already been a successful colab! We appreciate your continued support👊🏻
Look-at-that! You know I’m excited for you and Evan! Those bundle pieces are so nice and easy with the vertical splitters.
Well thanks Mike! It’s definitely a humbling experience to get to use this machine! I was hesitant at first, but realized I may be able to bring a little awareness to the network of dealerships. As of yesterday, Norm had some great news that it has already benefited him now I feel like I have given back and made this so rewarding for me. Thanks for always supporting.👊🏻
Nice job, guys! Looks like you may need to double the side board height on the 4 wheeler trailer for the speed of that wolferidge. 😁 The dump trailer would be a better option, but respecting the neighbors property is a must, in my opinion. It is very nice that he allows you all to use it. I would love to demo that machine for the summer, I would get so much more firewood done! Nice job again, and keep up the good work. 👍
This machine has definitely sped up our production! It is so satisfying to run! Yeah if it wasn’t muddy I would use the dump trailer. I really don’t want to go much higher on the bike trailer sideboards. It will make loading rounds more of a chore.😂Thanks for watching Robert👊🏻
Pretty cool, buddy. Evan got the jump on ya with the wood splitter. I can't blame him. She's some nice.
Evan usually get the jump on me on most everything😂 It’s awesome to see his excitement! Thanks for watching and supporting Kenny👊🏻
Awesome splitter and great video! I think the shirt just brings it’s all together 😂
Thanks Matt! Must be the shirt😂 I just felt it was appropriate for this splitter unveiling. Appreciate ya watching and commenting 👊🏻🍻
@@toddsoutsideagainI think it was very appropriate. Thanks man have a good day!
Also, Congratulations to both your kiddos on graduating. 😉👍
Thanks Daniel. We just actually got home from the grad ceremony! Appreciate your support 👊🏻
Congrats on the success of the channel!
I'm not too far from Widman. I have been meaning to stop by and get a look at one of these machines in person. Based on what I see it is the perfect splitter for me. I'm not a large enough operation to justify $12k (but that machine is worth it)
Yeah we are in the same boat as well. Evans firewood buisness was started basically to earn him some money for vehicles etc.. and I thought it would teach him some work ethic. That it has done!! Firewood has to this point been a side hustle and a way for us to spend time together. As it has grown moving forward I will have to seriously think about upgrading to a more commercial splitter! Thanks for watching and commenting👊🏻
Nice splitter and Bob is a great guy to work with..
Well Bob is a great guy for sure! He threw the idea out there and Norm made it happen! I can’t say enough about this community! Thanks for watching Ted👊🏻
Hi Todd! Making friends in the right places, how fun is that?! Keep splitt’n buddy. 👍
This community is so awesome! There is an unlimited supply of great people! Thanks for your support jdubb👊🏻
For a solo operation, using a commercial vertical log splitter is the way to go. Having complete control over the split size and minimal scrap are just 2 among many reasons why a commercial grade vertical splitter is a great option.
You are correct sir! In the short time we have had this great opportunity to run it I have already realized many benefits! Thanks for watching and supporting 👊🏻
Hi Todd and Evan. That VS-C is identical to mine, color and all. You’re going to love that machine. Heavy duty machine. I love mine, works great for Minnie wood too. Get your bucks dug out and just buy it before it’s gone. Can’t be many hours on it. Just do it.
Well it didn’t take long to realize this machine was awesome!! I started digging last night and I still haven’t found any bucks😂 Been a very financially draining year for us with having two kids graduating and going off to college at the same time! It will happen someday! There will always be another one. I thought I could try to give back to Norm for this opportunity and as of yesterday it has already worked! That’s what it’s all about for me! Thanks for watching and supporting Allen👊🏻
Couldn’t went to a better guy. Great splitter. Glade to see got teamed up with Wolfe ridge and the dealer. I wanted a portable splitter or else maybe I went with one them. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Dan! Well I was hoping to bring awareness to the dealership and give back to Norm for letting us use a demo! Bringing awareness to the dealer network was what I thought I could contribute and as of yesterday it has already paid off. Thanks for all your support 👊🏻
Todd and Evan,big time saver in the wood 🪵 yard and enjoy the graduation party with family and friends 😮😊❤
Yes indeed! Stacking more frequently now!🤣 Thanks for all your support Todd👊🏻
Great video Todd that spliter is awesome. So glad you and Evan got. It will be a game changer with your bundle grade wood. The collaboration is a very good opportunity for you.
Thanks. We figured out real quick how handy this machine is for bundle grade! I hope to keep bringing awareness to the dealer network thru my reach on CZcams. Got a call yesterday from Norm with great news! It was so rewarding to hear! Thanks for your support👊🏻
Just ordered a 17vs yesterday at OWB's Expo. Dark sapphire & should have it end of July.
I have a video currently downloading on this ( just 7% in 4 hrs. - might take awhile)
You are absolutely right about Bob - GREAT ASSET to WR!
Awesome! Congratulations. I can say with just the short amount of run time we have had in this unit, you’re gonna love it! I appreciate ya watching 👊🏻
Very nice splitter 👍🇧🇻 keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Fredrik! Appreciate your support 👊🏻
Heck ya buddy that’s awesome for you guys . I know your going to enjoy running that vertical and for making bundle grade wood a vertical is the way to go . Great colabaration it’s going to be a win /win for both sides .
Yeah I’m am completely blown away by the support of the community that has given me this opportunity!! Vertical is definitely something to get used to but I believe it’s very handy for anyone making a lot of bundles even kindling! Or if you’re just picky like I am on how the splits look🤣 I do believe as of yesterday that the colab is working well for both of us! Norm called and said he has already sold two splitters from my first video release! That is an awesome feeling!! Thanks Phil👊🏻
@@toddsoutsideagain Nice thats what its all about .
Hey man, experimenting with toys is always fun!
Yes it is. These commercial machines are no joke! Appreciate ya stopping by Anthony👊🏻
Great video!! If i ever get another splitter,, it will akways have a conveyor!! My 35c Magnum and 16ft conveyor is a world of difference from my box store splitter!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks David! I wasn’t too concerned on a conveyor but now I really see the benefits 😂 This is why this opportunity I have is such a great one! Thanks for always being a supporter of the channel👊🏻
Congratulations on the deal for new splitter demo! You won't be going back to the box store machine
Well I’m hoping the awareness of the dealer network will find a buyer for this 17VSc. At some point the boxer will come back out. It’s just on vacation 😂 Not saying I will enjoy running it as much! Thanks for watching and commenting 👊🏻
Congrats on the demo splitter. I'm a small operation by comparison to others. I really like the Wolfe Ridge 22 RS like Jeremiah has on Outdoors in the 608. I would want the log lift though at my age.
Well I’m hoping Norm has one on the next trailer from Wolfe Ridge to St. Louis😂 I am in the same situation of size of operation and the 22rs will fit a lot of folks. I would like to spend some quality time with one of those babies😂 Thanks for watching Tim👊🏻
That's a nice machine for sure! Seems like it's pretty quiet for a splitter?
No kidding RE the 'ole box store splitter LOL. My County Line gets HOT! Nice in the winter to warm my hands though :)
You got that right! In the cold of winter I usually rest my leg against it for the warmth.I don’t dare touch it in the summer🤣 I appreciate ya watching and commenting J-me👊🏻
Seeet machine. Very exciting. You won’t want to use the box store splitter again.
Well my eyes have definitely been opened to the commercial side of splitting and vertical for sure! The ole boxer will still be around until I feel it’s time to pull the trigger on an upgrade! Thanks for watching Dana👊🏻
@@toddsoutsideagain there are a few different options for sure. Every machine has areas that they excel. The perfect machine isn’t the same for everybody.
What an awesome piece of equipment that’s pretty crazy that your oil reservoir gets that hot on your other machine that can’t be good for the pump 😳🤣
Yeah I assume the all do but people just don’t realize it until you split with shorts on😂 Oil coolers definitely save on pumps and extended oil life. Thats the difference in box to commercial I guess! Thanks for watching and supporting Tom👊🏻
@@toddsoutsideagain true
What a great machine! Take care!👍🏻
It’s definitely different. It did not take us long to get the hang of it! It’s very satisfying to run! Thanks for stopping by and for your continued support Rod👊🏻
That's fantastic Todd, great work by you and Evan. I bought my first ever Wolferidge 28 Pro from the Vermont dealer. beautiful machine. Best wishes.
Right on! I was going into this colab trying to to figure out how to get back to Norm. So I focused on the dealer network that as I am already finding out most people were unaware of. And as of yesterday, my reach on CZcams has already helped Norm out and that’s what it was all about for me. Thank you for watching and supporting Michael.👊🏻
That is a sweet machine! You're gonna need more wood to feed it! - Tim
You’re not kidding! It’s gonna be a full time job keeping it fed😂 It’s very satisfying to run so it’s worth it! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
17VS great machine the log lift is perfect how it raises past level to slide round down to you. Enjoy while you can
Yes I do like the log lift a lot. In this vertical machine I feel like it’s not in the way like I notice on some horizontal machines. Appreciate ya watching Lonnie👊🏻
Hey Todd and Evan , what a splitter . Very cool y’all are getting to use it and hopefully it will be around with you awhile . Hope you’re feeling better brother . Great video .👍🏻🇺🇸🪵
Yes this is a game changing splitter for sure! It might be here longer than I expected. The colab is already doing what I hoped it would form Norms sake. Appreciate your continued support of the channel Del👊🏻🇺🇸
Awesome job Todd. I definitely would like to try out some of those splitter’s myself. I guess I need to start showing up and some of these events. It’s just been very busy.
The events are very rewarding. That’s not why I go it more about the people! This opportunity is humbling! I’m not one to borrow. It came to me and I actually sat on it for 4-5 days and was not going to do it. My son Evan was giving me the nudge to call Norm and I’m glad I did. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to give back so I wanted to focus on awareness of the dealer network for people to find Norm. As of yesterday it has already been beneficial to Norm!! It was so rewarding to hear the news!! Thanks for your continued support Dean👊🏻🇺🇸
17VS is awesome! Good video, looks fun to run and process firewood.
It sure is! We are having a blast getting the opportunity to run this machine! Thanks for your continued support Todd👊🏻
You better take full advantage of it while you have that splitter. Also congratulations on your 4K.
That's the plan! We have a lot of plans with it while we have it! Thanks Kevin👊🏻
That’s a fast splitter. A bit faster than your last one. Looks like nice weather. Glad to see Evan come out and show you really how to run it.
Yes it is fast and very enjoyable to run! I will let Evan show me how to run it everyday😂🤷♂️ Thanks for your support Robert👊🏻
Nice job! 👍 enjoyed this.
Thanks for the visit! I appreciate ya👊🏻
I think the area code for Widman motorcycle is 314 instead of 324, as shown in the link below. Just an observation. Awesome video.👍
Thanks so much Michael. Great catch! My fault on the typo! I just updated that to correct it. Hopefully folks used the link to the website if they were trying to contact Widman! I appreciate you bringing this to my attention and for watching the vid👊🏻
Todd, with a rig like that sitting around the yard you’re gonna have to upgrade your stacking trailer! I started with a smaller yard cart and an atv and now I’m pulling a 4x8x 26 inch deep trailer and it’s all my atv can do to pull it around with a full face cord of heavy oak or the like. Feels like I’m really abusing my equipment but affording a tractor does seem like it’s in the cards for a while. I just got my pro 28c so now I’m splitting for 10 minutes and stacking for an hour lol hopefully the atv can keep up for a few more years. Congrats man!
Well the ATV cart sure does fill up fast now😂 I do have the dump trailer but I can’t get it everywhere I need to stack that’s why the small size ATV trailer is so handy! No one like to stack and I’ve already realized having a commercial machine that I’m gonna be spending stacking more frequently 😂 Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Great content. Those are cool machines. If I was in the market I would drive quite a distance to pick one up just to avoid the lead time.
Well that’s what I thought I could contribute as a give back, was to bring awareness to the dealer network. As of yesterday Norm has already benefited. It was awesome to hear the good news. Thanks for the support 👊🏻
Well done.
Thanks Bill. I appreciate your continued support 👊🏻
That’s one nice splitter, looks like you guys are enjoying it!
Yes we are! One of us more than the other🤣 Evan has really gotten used to it quick! I got quite a bit of run time on it yesterday and gonna get more today on that Hickory. Thanks for all your support of the channel Genin👊🏻
It's going to be very hard to go back to your box store splitter. I was just about to say you're going to need a bigger trailer when you mention that in your video. Best of luck with all the graduation party planning. Great video.
Thanks Jerry! I’m pretty sure when we go back to ole faithful it’s not gonna be near as enjoyable to run😂 As Expected! These commercial splitters are what everyone has said!! Thanks for your support Jerry👊🏻
Outstanding
Thanks Dave👊🏻🇺🇸
The 17VSC IS A NICE VERTICAL MACHINE ARE LOOKING AT HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL AS YOUR NEXT PURCHASE,
Well that is a good question and that why I’m so thankful for this opportunity to run some demo units! I will really get to make that decision moving forward. I will say that vertical splitting is very nice. Especially if you make a lot of bundles and tend to be particular on how the splits look like I am😂 Appreciate ya watching 👊🏻
Nice sharing 🎉
Thanks! I appreciate ya👊🏻
Nice video Todd. If you run a demo unit enough that the hours add up, maybe the price will come down. - just a thought. Lol. Looking forward to seeing the hickory split.
Well just getting to try it before ya buy it is enough for me😂 I hear ya though! I appreciate Yair support Chris👊🏻
Man that thing is awesome!
It sure is! You need a green one Steve🤣 Your back will love you for it! Appreciate all your continued support brother👊🏻
Nice!
Very nice machine! It’s unbelievably comfortable to run! Thanks for all your support to the channel Chris👊🏻
That’s an awesome machine! Now will you be going in for dinner, or will your wife be bringing something out to the splitter 😂
Well the splitter does have a great table top😂 Yes it is an awesome machine! I’m glad to have the opportunity to run it for a while! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
I hope to get my Chanel to grow . It will in time I have just started in March . I went to Matt’s Firewood on the hill . And tried the17 and28 C . I got a splitfire for my excavator I got to get some more videos of it working soon .
Awesome! Keep at it and it will grow in time! It has taken me 2-1/2 years to get to this point with the channel. There will be ups and downs. Times when you think”are people watching”😂 I can’t explain CZcams and don’t know if anyone really can. Just stay persistent. Thanks for watching and commenting Jason👊🏻
I never fail to wonder why people split their wood so damn small, twice that size is good for my use in a wood heater!
Well Mike you said it, “for your use”. That size is what works for heating for sure no questions asked!! But for making bundles for recreational burners they want it smaller. 98% of our customers actually comment on the fact that they love the size of the splits. I have started splitting some stuff a little bigger because we did pick up a couple customers that want to use us for their heating purposes. To each their own I guess. Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Great score, hope your on the heal,👍🏼🪵🇺🇸
Thanks Larry! I’m starting to feel better! I always appreciate you and Robins support👊🏻🇺🇸🪵
Make a small batch of mini firewood with it. If it does well, I'll make the 165mi drive to Eau Claire to pick onr up.
Well I do have some differed ideas of use for it while I have it! Kindling was one for sure. If I get time I will try to make some mini with it! Maybe a short would be best for that! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Fathers Day is coming a few more hrs splitting and you won't let it leave the wood yard !!!! 😂
Well I’m not sure I will be ready for a purchase like this just yet! This last year of high school for the twins and with starting college this fall has been rather expensive on the pocket book! Maybe next year! Thanks for watching and supporting 👊🏻
Nice splitter they let you steal for a while
You’re not kidding! I’m not one to borrow! This has so far been a great experience and as of yesterday already benefited Norm! That’s what it’s all about. Thanks for watching and supporting Larry👊🏻
Todd, just a friendly reminder, don't be stealing the money from Evan and his sister's graduation cards to buy a new splitter 😅.
It sure makes a lot of firewood fast. Take care my friend.
😂 Not a chance Bobby! The splitter money wil come from the firewood stand after Evan heads south😂 Appreciate your support brother👊🏻🥃
3rd board
😂I hear ya Brandon🤣👊🏻
Have a tote or something off to side and toss in the few pretty barkless pieces you get for your barkless restaurant guy.
Yeah great idea. The barkless customer only wants oak though. We will really be able to put the barkless out now with less effort! Thanks for watching and supporting Jimmie👊🏻
@@toddsoutsideagain with you oak rounds for him you can shave the edges fast toss that into a pile for bundle wood or whatever and fill the trailer with barkless quick.
Or not so pretty oak you can pull a couple pretty barkless chunks out the center.
Great video and machine! What exactly is “bundle grade” firewood? I know what a bundle is but curious about bundle grade. Thanks.
Thanks! Well bundle grade to us are splits that are more straight grained usually cleaner pieces that are easy to slide into the bundler! We stack all of our bundle grade in totes. It usually stacks tighter and just makes uniform looking bundles🤷♂️ Thanks for watching 👊🏻
nice machine,what is the max size…20 or 24”? thank you
Bob, I believe it is a standard 20 inch stroke with an option to upgrade to a 24 inch on the verticals! Again, I’m no expert. There’s links in this video description to get you to Wolfe Ridge’s website and I’m sure it is posted there. Appreciate you watching 👊🏻
How much are they asking for that unit?
James that would be a question for Norm and his Dad Tom! I have contact info for them at Widman Cycles in the discription of this video. Appreciate ya watching 👊🏻
