    Good one today for the masses. At 15:00 using the same strategies as a vertical on a horizontal is very efficient and produces with similar speed and quality either straight grain wood! I think we all forget to try to use as much of the wedge as we can splitting multiple big splits. What a word salad sorry I sound like politician lol. Good splitting session!

      Yes it is David! Very enjoyable to run! I am grateful to have the opportunity to run these WR splitters. Everyone watching and supporting the channel has made this opportunity possible!

    Morning Todd , you are going to need a fleet of wheel barrows or a bigger trailer with that 22 RS . That was some beautiful maple bundle wood . 👍🏻🇺🇸🪵

    • @toddsoutsideagain
      @toddsoutsideagain  2 месяца назад +1

      😂 You are correct! It makes splits fast! I probably should have been putting bundle grade in the trailer and less desired bulk in the wheel barrows. Pretty much all this maple split up into bundle splits. I appreciate ya watching Del👊🏻🇺🇸

      @tpctrash 2 месяца назад +1

      I have watched Jeremiah 608. The option of auto cycle without the lift seems like the ticket. I know he had a tractor to lift the big stuff but once they are split you still have the better parts of the tree to do. Snd the auto cycle is very beneficial in my opinion. The issue with having the large rounds from the tree service can be nullified with a powerful larger chainsaw. Then you still gave auto cycle for all the splits. In the end it is up to each person to decide but I am all in with the 22 rs auto and deal with the big stuff as you need too.
      Good luck and thanks for showing us all the splitters and demos. Very very helpful for us that don’t have the connections. It helps you and us.

    • @toddsoutsideagain
      @toddsoutsideagain  2 месяца назад +1

      @@tpctrash Hello! Yeah to each their own I guess! I do love the auto cycle!! I split more tonight and was having an inner struggle about not getting auto cycle 🤣 I don’t like working with the big stuff. If all my rounds were manageable I would definitely get auto cycle. One other advantage to log lift is the extra room for staging rounds! Maybe auto cycle and a bigger table would be a great option. I’m glad this demo program has been helpful. Thats what it’s all about! Thanks for watching 👊🏻

    Straight maple splits so nice, you just touch it with the wedge, and it pops most of the time. That looks like a nice splitter. I definitely need a log lift now. I have big hickory on my property and can no longer lift them onto my splitter.
