Gotta love the customers who order early to help with the drying especially for 6 cords. Saves probably 10-12 hours of stacking and loading by hand. How does the debris/waste compare between the 4- way wedge and the box wedge? I guess since you’re selling bags of kindling it’s technically not waste.
I agree that box wedge does a lot more of the work and more quickly with slightly bigger rounds. Wresting bigger rounds on the table can wear the operator out pretty quick. Box wedge eliminates most of that fatigue
hi there nice show . wish i had some cherry , kind of hard to come by here , think i will stick with a single wedge and table , i call the box wedge wood feathered wood , they seem to be covered with more splinters but in turn makes them catch fire easier , well done john
Where are located in Maine? I am the Firewood Czar for the Falmouth Lion's. Love how clean and organized your operation is. We sell both seasoned firewood by the cord along with 2 firepit wood stands and sell columns of wood without having to bundle and wrap. We have sold over $700 in firepit wood this season.
The slivers in your waste totes we sell as kindling, we fill 1 column with kindling and sell by donation with no set price, customers are happy and a way to get rid of waste wood.
I have a 12-22 with a box wedge, tall 4way and 6way. I primarily use the 4way. Every once in a while I put the box wedge on to remind me how much I hate the trash it produces:
Brad I to am all bout the box wedge had the 6 way on once but that never going on only problem having is engine never wants to start think going have to call in to Easton made see what's up. Bill
Ha, getting spoiled is one if the main reasons i haven't ran your box wedge yet, ive fed it and see how fast it splits, which is extremely quicker than the 4 way. Like you said though, for me i do like the 4 way for its ability to fine tune the pieces we create. Another advantage to the 4 way is you can actually split some of the crotchy pieces😂😂 Cheers Brad.
Cherry wood is the best! I cringed a little when you lifted the box wedge by bending your back, glad you didn’t hurt yourself. Stay safe and keep it up!
Hello Mr. Brad, One thing I have noticed with folks who have box splitter's they take the splits as they come, folks with 4 way or singles tend to be a little more picky with the size of the splits, sort of like filleting a fish vs whole fish, one is faster the other yields a little more fish.
A customer who ordered last year wants to get and stay a year ahead on his wood so I’ll deliver 10 cord this summer for next year, and he wants 8 cord of seasoned wood for this year
Hey Scheib, you have a skid steer, use it to change the wedges. You'll wish ya had when you're laid up w a wrenched back. Figured for sure the tree guy was gonna call when ya had second trailer half full
@@FirewoodattheFurnace as a born bred and raised dairy farmer I know the perils of the back. Dad had his operated on in his 30s and I contribute his death at 51 in part to long term pain meds. I've made it to 52 now and have been very lucky. Don't get me wrong, I have wrenched it to point of barely able to walk. Guess what. Cows don't give a damn, they need to be tended. Just please, work smarter not harder. Btw, I think Scheib may be starting to listen to us that have commented along these lines. Keep up the great work. Would hate to see any of the woodhounds unnecessarily laid up
I'm sure someone probably has pointed it out but you misspelled "you're" on your bundle wood sign. Just see it every time and it bugs me. Really enjoy your videos. Never too long and always enjoyable.
My friend - how did you land on your pricing? I have been doing $6 or 2/$10 and I just feel like I’m leaving money on the table, $7 but 3/$20 sounds great… and more worth the time. I have bigger and better looking bundles than everyone around and would still be cheaper than the gas stations and farm stores and I’m 1 door down from a major camp ground. Feel guilty raising prices … need advice! In upstate NY
I started at $5 per bundle and knew I was too cheap fairly quickly. My bundles are larger and cheaper than the stores around me. I set my price just under theirs and provide more wood. 90% of my customers buy increments of 3 at a time. Hope this helps and thanks for stopping by!
Check it out Chris in the woodyard can’t find his woodyard kittens if there turn up in your woodyard Brad would you let know . Cherry firewood good for BBQ FIREWOOD Brad . You got a little order 10 cords off firewood to deliver , break in the four way wedge Brad . Brad your THINK SAFETY and always put SAFETY FIRST around the wood splitter and the woodyard 😊. Allen family’s woodyard got the fastest wood splitter on U TUBE call OLD BUSTER LOL . 😊
Hey Brad. Do you wish your Dump trailer was bigger. I am trying to decide on a 14ft Kaufman or a 16ft Gooseneck. But that extra 2ft will not make that big of difference in Firewood.
I really liked that shot of the eastonmade branded return arm. Very creative.
Thanks!
Staying busy lots of cherry wood
Hit the nail on the head with the wedges brad.
Thanks Andrew
Good Morning Brad, Good video, Your setup is Impressive now, Safe Splitting to ya 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Thank you
Wow those 5 way box wedge are awesome 💪💪💪
Hello Brad you made that look so easy taking the box wedge out. Take Care.Have a nice weekend
Thanks Deb. You too!
You made quick work of that cherry!! Great video!
I love the box wedge it’s a great idea.
Brad,always a great pleasure watching your work and your videos 🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵❤😊
Thank you
Hey Brad what microphone are you using? It does an excellent job of not picking up the engine noise while you talk.
It’s by Serimonic. I’ve had great luck with it and a fraction of the cost for a Rode

I asked my question before hearing you say that you haven’t used the 4-Way yet.
You are doing good job Place nice in order
Thanks so much

I think the best wedge is all of them lol. I haven’t run a box wedge with pull back arm but even without it it makes firewood pretty easy.
You should definitely look into getting one. You’ll fall in love

I’m actually in Maryland. Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate you watching
Wow I didn't know u got you another Kaufman Dump Trailer
Yeah very happy with them
@FirewoodattheFurnace Me too buddy. I should be able to pick mine up soon.
4way looks a lot cleaner but slower and end of the day it all burns so do it quick hey👍

I could use some of that cherry. Nice looking wood. Do you think the 6 way would have been better ? You are correct the box wedge is fast unit.
Can see the box wedge is a lot faster and less work good for bundle and fire place think you do a great job on your videos look up and be safe
Thanks so much
Brad I to am all bout the box wedge had the 6 way on once but that never going on only problem having is engine never wants to start think going have to call in to Easton made see what's up. Bill
I’m sure Eastonmade will help you out. Great people fill the entire building up there. Do you have the Honda or the Briggs engine?
Briggs n ya hoping to give one last effort myself after memorial day parade otherwise going call into them

That’s a great analogy Ben. Yes I find myself striving for the perfect split on the 4 way. Box wedge you just shove it through
Great setup brad. As watching the splitting i myself would pick the box wedge looks like less work involved. Just my opinion. Love the channel.
Thanks so much
Good stuff and good vid Brad. That's alot of wood in yard. Where do you find a 10 cord order right off the splitter? Take care
A customer who ordered last year wants to get and stay a year ahead on his wood so I’ll deliver 10 cord this summer for next year, and he wants 8 cord of seasoned wood for this year
👍👍
Hey Scheib, you have a skid steer, use it to change the wedges. You'll wish ya had when you're laid up w a wrenched back.

Lol yeah I didn’t plan that too well. Thankfully I didn’t get in a jam with the trailers

What are you doing with all the scraps? I don't consider it trash,
I separate most of the kindling and get rid of the rest

Need a 6 or 8 way wedge
Check it out Chris in the woodyard can’t find his woodyard kittens if there turn up in your woodyard Brad would you let know . Cherry firewood good for BBQ FIREWOOD Brad . You got a little order 10 cords off firewood to deliver , break in the four way wedge Brad . Brad your THINK SAFETY and always put SAFETY FIRST around the wood splitter and the woodyard 😊. Allen family’s woodyard got the fastest wood splitter on U TUBE call OLD BUSTER LOL . 😊
the 4 way wedge produces better wood then the box wedge,
Long run box wedge then your scraps are cheap kindling
It looks like the box wedge makes a lot of waste.
It does make waste but we get a lot of kindling from it
I like the box wedge, but they make a mess
Yes there are some scraps to deal with but they make quick work
Hey Brad. Do you wish your Dump trailer was bigger. I am trying to decide on a 14ft Kaufman or a 16ft Gooseneck. But that extra 2ft will not make that big of difference in Firewood.
I think it’s the perfect size for payload and getting into people’s driveways
@FirewoodattheFurnace Thanks Brad. I have decided on a 14ft as well. Kaufman makes great quality trailers. 👌
Brad do you have to resplit any of the wood coming out of the box wedge for your bundle wood?🔥🪵🇺🇸
Yes my bundle wood splits are small so I do resplit them for bundles
