    WR is the better machine for your application in terms of producing boiler wood and the Easton made is better for bundles/ roadside stand. But awesome content coming up on both machines

    Now you will be able to do good side by side comparisons. Plus the convenience of not switching wedges plus have a wood splitting party and get both machines going. You are a lucky man to be in the situation you are in! Hard work good content has paid off for you!!! Congrats on the accomplishments you have earned!

    Machines break down like everything else so to have two splitters isn’t a bad thing. Both of these splitters have different pros and cons. It is sort of like having two tractors that aren’t the same but do similar things and if one is down then you can grab the other one- hopefully.

    I already figured you would keep your splitter because the other one is just a lender. I think there is a lot of scrap with the Easton made splitter

    • @Back40Firewood
      @Back40Firewood  Год назад +2

      The box wedge does make a bit more of the slash-n-trash.

    • @AroundTheYard-MN
      @AroundTheYard-MN Год назад +1

      I have noticed that as well with the Wolfe Ridge Box Wedge, but the other factor I believe is overlooked is you are creating so much more wood in just a few strokes, it evens out more than you’d think.

  • @AroundTheYard-MN
    @AroundTheYard-MN Год назад +1

    Great show! Keeping it is the right idea, I have 3 splitters and I could definitely see looking for a kinetic, WR RS, or an Ultra for re-splitting some day. The thing about the 37D or the blue Ox is you need a tractor or a pickup to move it around, there is no such thing anymore of grabbing the hitch and dragging it somewhere else in the wood yard. - it becomes a production, at least that has been my experience so far.

  • @billobermeyer660
    @billobermeyer660 Год назад +1

    Smart idea to keep the WR as there will always be reasons to use it. Very good explanation on the podcast about the story surrounding the 37D and the WR and how things transpired. See ya tomorrow!

    That would have gone through the box wedge. I only have gotten one piece stuck in my box wedge, and it was a 4-way crotch piece. Even then, I pulled it back with a chain then pushed it through without issue.

  • @williamellis8993
    @williamellis8993 Год назад +1

    It was interesting to see that elm go through the splitter. Many, many years ago when I was young and foolish (I'm not young anymore), I tried splitting elm with a maul and wedges. Needless to say, I quit after the first unsuccessful try.
