- Today for the first #WolfeRidgeWednesday we have @lillysfarmfirewood's New #17VS splitter in the woodyard for certification testing on the new iGX390 engine. Thanks to all the hard work by the #WolfeRidge crew getting this new wood splitter dialed in even more! There is no question, this splitter has changed the game!!
Also very pleased to announce that we added a great friend to the team here at Wolfe Ridge! Bob Nelson and I met back in 2017 at our first trade show in Oshkosh WI farm days. We have always had a great working relationship in the firewood industry and I think he will help us continue to grow in the years to come, please help me welcome Bob to the #WolfeRidgeFamily

Bob Nelson is at the TOP of the firewood industry. Wolfe Ridge has hit a HOMERUN. I think all of us now have to up our game to keep up with you!
Thank you so much!
Thanks Joe, when I heard he was going to be looking for a job, I knew I had to make an offer right away! We always worked well together in the past, even though we didn't have to!
I like the vertical splitter it a new game in your book I have seen other but I think yours the cylender is the fastest I have seen have a great day
Chris, Bob is a real good guy as you know. He has always been great to talk to and deal with! Glad he found a new place to call home.
I love that you put the controls on the front of the machine, it only makes sense!!!! Best of luck to both of you with the new splitter sales!
Me too, we have been friends since our first show together back in 2017. Definitely happy to have him as part of the family!
Thank you Doug!
Love the innovation and constant improvement in the splitter game. The same few manufacturers seem to be at the forefront for good reason.
BoB. Good line. "Well, the boss is the last one to know." 🤣🤣 You definitely will fit right in.
Chris looks great, and this will run for a long time, too. 235 hours on mine as of today..😁👍
Nice machine!!!!
Thank you!
Bob!! We are excited for you and congratulations to everyone at Wolfe Ridge you are lucky to add such knowledge to your team!! The splitter is as amazing as your new employee!
Thank you Tom!
Congrats Matt on the awesome splitter! Congrats Bob on the new position! Chris, I love the hat and I see big things coming to Wolfe Ridge!
Thanks man!
Thank you!
Heck yeah! Glad to see Bob at WR! He’s top notch. Better get him signed up for the HFH24 April 26 and 27! Congrats Matt!
Thanks
Thank you!
Chris you think of it all good to see bob with the team now 👍 would love to have one those or any of your splitters to make life easier that with no more bending up and down 👍👍👍👍
Thank you Joe!
Wow this threw me off for a second seeing Bob here lol. Good guy for Wolfe Ridge and I love the new splitter 👍🔥🪵
Thank you!
Congratulations Bob! Chris, you keep adding awesome individuals to your team. Well done Sir. Love the 17-VS!!
Thank you Brent!
Good move on getting Bob, Chris. Much success to both of you and to the great team and minds at Wolfe Ridge.
Thank you David!
Guys awesome video, can’t wait to get mine, going to be the best Christmas ever!
Hope to be posting some video feedback soon.
Awesome splitter Chris! This will be a game changer for sure
Good job on the vertical splitter. Like that the lift table rises last level to help those big rounds slide on to work surface and placement of pedal doesn't have you extending leg up under machine to reach it. No constantly supporting yourself on one leg.
Awesome machine. Love the R&D you put into it to make it the best vertical splitter on the market. Will make the other manufacturers step up their game to stay in the race! Great job!
Congrats Bob, and Congrats Matt!!! He's definitely gonna put that machine to good use💪
Thanks jack
Thank you!
Congratulations Bob and Chris!
Thank you!
Hi, that looks like a great machine …. I bought my first vertical splitter many years ago and it changed my operation a lot. The versatility is wonderful.
You will sell a lot of these splitters…. They are perfect for one person operations.
Great video
Congrats Matt. That vertical splitter is going to be a great addition to your other Wolfe Ridge equipment . You are going to make some awesome bundle wood with it.
Thanks
Congratulation Bob... I knew you were going to land in a good place, and Wolfe Ridge is it! The 17VS looks good Chris. I know Matt will enjoy it.
Thank you!
Congrats Bob! Happy to see you happy
Thank you so much Adam!
That thing looks slick! I watched a guy use one of those hobby homeowner tractor supply horizontal/vertical deals in the vertical position and my back hurt just watching him, lol, my boss built a few different splitters that we use for our firewood business but they are slow and the only commercial built splitter I’ve used that I liked was a spitfire and I know I can put out product with one but I dare say this vertical rig you guys have put together looks damn good, 1 cord in an hour is pretty damn good, it takes me 2 hours with the one I use at work because of how slow it is
Thanks!
Awesome machine and an awesome crew!👍🏻
Thanks Rod!!
Can't wait for the video of the "sister machine". With a bigger motor and I'm guessing higher flow pump. It should be even faster if that's the case or stronger if a larger cylinder is used. I'm thinking your guys got this model dialed in about as much as possible at this point. Thanks for showing the "tuned in" version of this model Chris. The more I look at this design, the better it looks to me.
On a totally different subject, who is that Bob guy? I am not making a joke. It seems like folks in the comments know who he is but I don't have a clue. Anyway, thanks again for the video.
Thanks! Bob worked at another company in the firewood industry prior to joining the Wolfe Ridge family.
Verticle machines are great for the ergonomics and fast when splitting to a specific size. They just don't work well for a one-legged🦿 dude. Good to see you at Wolf Ridge Bob!👍
Thank you Kevin!
I was pretty sure that Bob would end up here. He will do well for your company Chris. I think a table extension for the tote side would be a great option. Same as the log lift but just a manual flip up one that doesn't kill the price. This would allow the stacker person time to move behind the operator and stage the next round while the operator continues to split then go back to stack the splits. Would also give the stacker more time to change out totes too. And nice machine.
Thank you Dale!
Folks make sure you haven't been unsubscribed like I just found out I was... Love Bob Nelson, great addition to the team (Bob don't forget to send my check)
Haha thank you!!
Congratulations that’s a great move on both your parts. I predict that the partnership will last a long time and growth will follow soon. Congratulations to both of you.
Thank you!
Congrats Bob!!!
Thank you Stan!
Pretty sweet splitter Chris!!👍👍
Thank you!!
Great looking machine
Welcome Bob!
Thank you!
@@BacktoBob1 You need to promote your own channel now! 😉
@@ecossearthur My family is planning on starting a small firewood venture in summer of 2024. We’ll be sure to get it on my channel.
@@BacktoBob1 We are moving to Tennessee and will be doing the same thing! Looking forward to seeing it! 👀
Bob is a Good Fit for your Company Chris Congratulations,
For sure, thank you!
Thank you!
Guut 🙏👍❤❤❤
Come on chris wolfe. Let’s get this party started. Damn near past my bed time.
8 pm bud!
You can stay up a little later Tim, it'll be worth it...
Will Bob still be able to visit Ohio Joe? Congratulations on the team building.
Absolutely
His open house is a good time, I think he's planning on doing one again in 2024!
Just looking at it I think cosmetics need to be played with a tad as it seems a bit drab looking. I don't like the large model placard on the front of the operators station, I feel that space should be for the large Wolf Ridge placard and the model sticker should be off to the side or up on the stripper blocks. The machine is awesome but cosmetics do matter to the consumer and getting that correct alone can increase sales. The one thing I've always loved about WR spitters is how badass they look, you guys have always been above everyone else in that respect. Just my opinion as I look at it.
Are you able to choke the Honda from the front control panel ?
This engine has an electronic controlled carb with automatic choke. Thanks!
what's the price point on this machine?
Go to the website
We don't post prices on videos because this will be online forever. The website has pricing and more info, thanks!
Yall need to send Cris from In the Wood yard one..
I was ready to pull the trigger yesterday and call and put a deposit on one...until i went on the website only to realize the price went up 2k.😭
Yes, we did add a LOT of standard features that drove up pricing. This iGX390 engine alone is $700 more, But we felt that having controls at the split station was well worth it!
I'm just guessing but the foot activator seems too vertical. If possible could it be moved a little to the right?
The pedal is mounted about 6 to 8" right of center. The brackets are incorporated into the frame, so would not be able to move
Bob......... Is japa still available????
Hi John. Yes, Metsa Machines still sells and services Japa - I am just no longer affiliated with either.
Glad to here that. I sure enjoyed seeing you with Joe and all the other japa owners on the tube. I hope to see you on the tube , you do a excellent job with the demos and info you gave out on Japa. wolf ridge is lucky to get you, experience comes with a price. Hope they take good care of you.......... Best of luck with your new venture .........@@BacktoBob1
Thank you John!
Congrats Bob. I bet Napa is sucking wind right now. 😳
Thank you!
What is the certification process for the engine?
Bob discusses that in the short we posted earlier today! Thanks!
Thats great tp hear, is there a link to the process video? Also, what is the quality standard(s) to thus process if any,? Is there an independent inspector or engineer who conducts the steps to certify?
Bob still working for Metsa machines/Japa too and you ???
Hi Jimmie, I’m no longer with Metsa Machines. Wolfe Ridge is my new home.
What happened to Metsa?
Metsa is still in operation, I'm just not there anymore.
Not important
@@BacktoBob1 I always enjoyed your videos and your narration style. I will no doubt enjoy your work with Wolfridge! Hope that all goes well for you!
Chris you think of it all good to see bob with the team now 👍 would love to have one those or any of your splitters to make life easier that with no more bending up and down 👍👍👍👍
