Why You Need A Wolfe Ridge Firewood Bagger, Maximize Profits!

- If you sell firewood you need either a bagging station or a bundler to maximize profits! We will discuss why we chose this versatile bagger from @WolfeRidgeSplitters over a bundling machine for our operation. We will also show how much more money you can make by adding one of these to your operation, it will quickly pay for itself and increase the enjoyment of bagging firewood! Rachel splits up some premium ready to burn ash on the Eastonmade Axis splitter and then we bag it up while discussing the pros and cons of bags vs bundles. The Trax power dolly easily moves our N&N dump trailer into position to make the splitting easier without having to hook up and unhook the truck or tractor. Follow along as we show how fast and easy we can produce value added firewood! See why I think this is the best bagging unit available on the market!
You can find the Wolfe Ridge bagger here: www.wolferidge...
It comes standard with the 1 Cubic Foot barrel but can be customized with a .75 cu/ft and a 1.25 cu/ft barrel as well to increase the versatility. Plus as of today if you buy a bagger Chris is including 100 bags to get you started.
The Trax Power Dolly can be found here: traxpowerdolly...

My kind of people, Rachel rocks & you can tell she enjoys what she's doing 👍
Thanks Chris and yes she does.
Hey Heath and Rachel , that yellow bag was off the charts good . I really liked how you could see the quality of the wood . Great video !!!
Thanks Del! I was very surprised at the difference myself.
Thank you De. I definitely think they Will become more popular as people find out about the.
WICKED COOL WAY TO BAG ON YOUR WOOD. I LIKE YOUR SPLITTER TOO. I AGREE ON THE BUNDLES, BOTH ( BUNDLES & BAGS ) IF YOU CAN DO BOTH TO PROMOTE THE PRODUCT - WHY NOT... KEEP PUSHIN ON GUYS... PEACE, FROM CREEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO...
Thank you, eventually we will have both Bags and Bundles.
Yup! I’m going through the same process right now. Evan just bought another 200 bags but I do think we are going to be going to the yellow mesh after that. Evan actually sells more bundles than loose or bulk. His “ Evan Ridge” bundler has been awesome🤣 See ya soon👊🏻🇺🇸
Kid’s a genius!!
Todd, we may have to go into the firewood accessory/equipment production business together! I have some ideas!
Yellow bag for the win. I can see your point Heath.
Thanks Kenny, I agree the yellow bags look much nicer imo.
Great video. They seem to be the thing those bagging stations. Phil and Karen are smart cookies, and entertaining.
Thanks for your expertise on firewood sales, and comparisons.
Have a great day.
Thanks Noel!
Thanks Noel, Phil and Karen have a great operation going. I would say thumbs up to them but well you know. Lol.

Liking the vertical splitter!! Makes nice bundle grade wood!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Yes it does! Thanks David!
I love how the barrel of the bagger was made by sequential bending on an iron brake…LOTS stouter reinforcement built into it. It should last forever! Rachel, tell Heath you want a steak dinner! -Jack
I’m hoping for some good dinners while we’re in Ohio for Bunyan!
Definitely well-built unit!
Love your channel and will be retiring in the next 12 months. Been cutting and burning wood and also tree service work for 40+ years. I will be starting a small operation for farm-stands and campgrounds around here. I’m doing a job for a friend that had tons of dead standing ash! I have taken 6 cord out and there is at least 12-15 more. I am doing the math and I think the maple and oak will be for cordwood and the ash will be bags! Btw, I make the same fire starters as you but use dry aspen shavings I get at the pet supply store. I get 38 minutes burn time! Thanks for all your tips and hope to meet you sometime and buy a shirt!
Thank you! Congrats on retirement, I can’t wait! We have some shirts and hats available and hope to get a web site up soon. But if you want one shoot us an email at hardworkingmanoutdoors@gmail.com
I’ve been buying the .75 bags selling them three for 20 but I think I’m gonna go to the one cubic foot give more product
Look in to the yellow bags from Quadel industries. I’ll be doing a video on them soon!
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors ok cool !
Nice setup! That is a really cool trailer dolly, looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Thanks, I love that dolly! Check out the Samurai saw for your slab wood.
good video and job like you said you can use the bagger with smoke wood to. i think the hand hog rinmg pliers may be better for must people i have one rarely use it. both of you take care, be safe and well.
Thank you. Definitely looking forward to seeing what we can do with the bagger.
Very true Rachel- “ I don’t think there’s a learning curve”! The mesh that the Allens found makes a clean, tight bundle, and as you said Heath, important to show your premium product. In my opinion, the bags scream China-made. Take care🇺🇸🇺🇸
It’s true! It’s a sweet addition that anybody can do!
Thanks Mike, we will definitely be using the open tubing mesh once the bags run out!
I’m moving in the bagger direction too. A couple things you didn’t mention that I’ve thought of: 1.) with bundles each piece has to be premium to make a really nice looking bundle, with the bags, you can fill up that bucket with lesser quality wood and still make a nice looking bag 2.) in addition to smoker chunks and solo stove wood you could possibly use it for kindling too! Great job HWM! See you in a few days!
Yes, that’s one of the things I like about these bags, lots of uses besides, just wrapping premium grade, wood like bundles require.
Glad to see Rachel back in her uniform shirt lol. Keep up the videos you two make wood splitting enjoyable.
Thanks! Will do!
Looks like a nice unit
Dan, imo it is the best bagging unit out there. At least that I’ve seen.
That is a sweet bagger. Nice work, Heath and Rachel! I hope your firewood stand sales really take off! 👍
Thank you, this bagger definitely makes bagging Firewood much nicer, and now a viable option.
Looks good 👍
Thank you.
Gotta love that Axis, and if course the Wood Bunny 🐇 sure knows how to make some good looking firewood out of those rounds! The Wolfe Ridge bagger is a nice unit. May have to oick one of those up eventually.
She’s real good at that Axis for sure! We love the bagger so far
I have the brute force bundler love it
I’d love a nice electric bundler and will ah e one some day but the initial cost is a lot higher. I think having both is the ticket.
I was thinking about getting the bagger for all the slivers and sell for kindling
@@LeBlancfirewood another great use for it.
The bagger system made quick work. I might have to consider buying one in the future. A lot of the ash you guys split looks like the ash I’m getting. Great video guys
Jason, you definitely should get one of these baggers. It makes it so much faster and easier.
Hey Man ; I still really like that Donkey Motor .
Thanks, I use it all the time and love it.
I have been looking at one of the Wolfe Ridge baggers. Pretty fairly priced.
I agree, if you are going to sell bagged firewood, I believe this is the best way to go and extremely competitively priced.
I ordered the new axis
That new Axis is sweet!
Nice video God bless Tell. Your. Wife. I. Said. Hi
Hi Ralph! Thanks for watching
Thanks Ralph! Rachel never misses your comments!
I'd try tying the bag with a bow to make them easier to untie, then put a bag return container out by your stand. You might get multiple uses out of one purchased bag.
I do tie the bags in a bow. I just did a quick half tie on these because I did not have fire starters ready to put in them. The bag return station may just work.
hi there question why not just sell bags or bundles . see ya soon john
John, we have one stand that is only Bags/Bundles. But we had that one placed closer to the city. I find the stands further into the country do better with loose stacks, and bags/bundles work closer to the city.
I was thinking about getting one for my cut offs can you show bundling cut offs i have. The brute force wrapper works good
We will be doing some bagging and bundling videos soon. We will most likely bag our cutoffs though with the Wolfe ridge bagger.
Great Work on the splitter and I love the Over Head Videos Beautiful Woman
Thank you! She’s one of a kind!
Hey Heath and Rachel, I will see you at Bunyan on Friday. I have some ideas to share with you for using the WR bagger. I have bagged 100 bundles of fresh oak with the yellow mesh like Phil and Karen, and have them on pallets outside and probably won't touch them for a year. I've have some other samples and ideas to toss around at the show, so see you soon!
Look forward to talking Obie, See you soon!
The yellow bag option is inexpensive enough to cut them long and tie a handle into it like lumber capital log yard does on their bags. I’m going to move the the yellow mesh next purchase.
That is one of the methods I plan on trying! I’ll have a video on them up soon.
Camden says hi😂
Hi Camden!
Hi Camden
Based on the thumbnail I thought that the video was just going to be Rachel having fun bagging wood.
Selling a cord in bag/bundle form = dayum! 💰💰💰 Stupid Plainfield TWP doesn’t allow stands 👎🏻
“Clear” bags look good
Good point about the look of the wood. I’ve had people say they didn’t like wood that is darker in color, they this it went bad or something… 🤷🏻♂️
That’s a bummer! Stands are super profitable.
Jason, time to move lol. Fresh cut green wood looks great until you try to burn it.
@@rachelpostma4505 yeah, bums me out… We live right on Northland (the Beltline) so we see lots of traffic too. 🙄
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors I hear you. The older I get, the further from people I want to be 🤣
Minahal nga higala, nanghinaut ko nga maayo ka niining adlawa. Maayo ra ang tanan, akong higala
Thank you! Have a great day.
Bags definitely sell better in my stand!👍👍
Jeremiah, it’s crazy how different they can be.
How big are the bags. Have a great day be safe.
These bags fit perfectly on the 1 cubic foot barrel.
Where did you purchase the yellow bag material... also northern woodsman has the red bags like you used without the firewood logo on it for a cheaper rate
Thank you, I will definitely be using the yellow bag and moving forward. It comes from Quadel Industries .
How much y’all get for the red bag of firewood.
We sell them for $7/ea or 3/$20.
Thanks for reply appreciate that
I like the bagger how much would one cost
Carl, right now that are $650 with 100 free bags.
Unfortunately everyone around here sells ther bundles for $5 each. I started at $6 per bundle, 2/$11 or 3!$15. I have had people buy all of the options.
It’s crazy how different markets are based on location!
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors I have my eye on at least one retail location for next year. Their bundled wood is not that appealing
Did you say the trailer was full?
JB, lol yes I did, I didn’t mean full trailer, I meant all of the wood in it was nice bundle grade ash. My bad.
@hardworkingmanoutdoors can that tongue pull pull that trailer full of firewood?
Down hill maybe.
@@jbbrown7907 it will pull it full of firewood but you need to be on a decent surface. Traction is the limiting factor, there’s plenty of power. We are going to do a full video on it soon.
I don't know how you handle wood without gloves😢 I guess I'm a softy.
I debated if I should use my gloves, but these splits were nice and smooth😊
Bundling and bagging are about the only things that I will do it with wood without gloves on.
It's not so much the taking off when dumping. I know on my trailer Big Tex 7x14 with a full load if its not hooked up to a vehicle the actual frame of the trailer will tip like tongue up in the air half way through the dump when all the weight shifts to the back. I know that the trax wont even come close to preventing that. Load it up full and tilt the trailer all the way back you can actually lift the whole front of the trailer by hand cuz the weight distribution is way off. Just something to think about. I speak from scary experience trust me.
Thank you that is a very good point, I would not try this with a full load.
Just have to throw a couple chunks of firewood under the rear of the trailer frame ( not the tipping part of course). A cheap set of axle stands work good too.
Seems alot slower then wrapping
Honestly I feel it is faster than wrapping if that’s what your doing and not talking/producing content.
Uh Oh...should be wet-t-shirt time coming soon!!
Rachel says it’s too cold right now for more wet T-shirts
Tie a bow tie. Not a knot. People will be able to open bag’s easier. And they mite return them so you save money reusing the bags
I didn’t tie these bags shut because I still had to add fire starters. When I tie them completely, I do use a bow tie because like you said it is much easier to open.
Gas money
For sure.
Hey Heath and Rachel, that bagging station works great. What is the cost difference between the netting and the bags? I'll have to stop in at Wolfridge at PB and check it out. Look forward to seeing you guys there.🔥🪵🇺🇸
I haven’t broke down the netting cost yet. Not sure how many bags I’m gonna be able to get out of that roll. It’s a huge long tube that you cut to your size you need. So I guess it depends on how many bags I can get with it before I know what it’s worth. I will be doing a video on it.
