- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- We took a road trip down to Connecticut to visit the Dude Ranch! Jake at Dude Ranch DIY was an awesome host, and he showed us his heavily modified 700-series splitter.
His splitter has split hundreds of cord and is still going strong all these years later. Stay tuned for next time when we take the splitter to the woodyard and get to splitting!

Glad you guys made the trip to Dude Ranch. Hope y'all seriously consider the mods and maybe put some into practice. I really like my 737. If you could extend the hitch at the catcher end like Jake's and add a 2" receiver at the other end, it would sure make moving it around easier as he explained. Adjustable splitter wedge, and auto-return would be a big plus and really put you in the competition with the other guys.
Thanks Dave, we love feedback and this was a big part of the reason we reached out to Jake about his modifications.
Yes. The mods make the machine much better
I am glad I quick panned through this video, because I was wanting to see it in use and they kept saying, later you will see it in action....Yeah, later in another video!
Love the splitter and especially the mods. I have the original horizontal/vertical splitter from them. Wasn't called ruggedmade back then. But want to upgrade to having that lift. Not a spring chicken anymore.
RM I hope you guys have these mods as options in the future. One more if I may offer that Jake didn’t do is move or add tank vent port closer to beam. Having it close to the wheel causes oil to leak out if splitter is tilted ever so slightly to the left side. Like riding on a bus…where do you get the best ride?…Seats that are in the middle equal distance from front and rear axle.
So how many mods has RuggedMade made to the unit(s)?
Do you sell those in Canada?
We only ship inside the U.S. We have customers from Canada who have purchased and used a freight forwarding service, but we do not make those arrangements.
@@RuggedMade Thank you.
I also really like my 737. Wish I could get a 6 way wedge. : (
I noticed you don't have the stop plate on there with the auto cycle valve. Did you find out it brakes the cylinder end like I did.
Jake from Dude Ranch DIY installed his own auto cycle valve. Our machines don't currently come with auto cycle available.
@@RuggedMade I know that, I put one on mine too. A ruggedmade, and the stop plate put too much pressure on the cylinder and snapped the end off that goes into the push plate. I have a 28gpm with 16 hp, it's so much faster now. Love my ruggedmade
1st what type of steel was used to make the 6way?
2nd Rugged Hope's props your a percentage or at minimum a $
3rd Dude Ranch is solid
Glad the company has the reach out to get with you.
Keep growing my wood friend.!
Keep them and there eyes open, split straight and enjoy the break downs.
Excellent video
put a wedge lift on your splitters
What a waste of my time. Could you not just split some damn wood to show the improvements....me and Chris, me and Sam...wgaf?
Do you ever wash that splitter of, sure is Dirty.
Jakes splitter is an older model which is probably about 8 years old now. He works this splitter pretty hard year round at the Dude Ranch!
Where are these made? China, Ohio, or, Canada?
