It looks like persimmon. I cut a few persimmon trees about a month ago all the stumps have a black tar looking ring around them now. It makes good fire wood.

I’m sorry for your bad luck. I did about the same thing a few years ago only it was my pinky finger between the round and stop plate. It flattened the the end of my finger from the last joint out needless to say it busted it and broke the bone. Lots of stitches no surgery my finger is twisted...

I ordered it around the first of August. A few weeks before the show I saw a couple videos of the box wedge with the pull back arm and called him and had him add it on the machine and I’m glad I did.

Congrats on getting the new splitter. I started looking at new splitters back last winter I watched videos and researched a lot of splitters. I liked the Wolf Ridge I called and left my contact information two times no one ever responded to me so I assumed they get a lot of calls from people...

I’ve got a lot of back and neck problems the last couple years fire wood has caused me a lot of pain but I like doing it and don’t want to stop. I finally pulled the trigger and bought a eastonmade 12-22 splitter with the new box wedge and pull back arm. We’ve split about 6 full cords of all...

My son bought a hookaroon At the Paul Bunyan festival at the Paul Bunyan festival in Ohio this month. I wish I would have bought one years ago. Its a lot easier on a old wore out back like mine than bending over and picking up every piece of wood. You won’t be disappointed with it.

Hi Adam I’ve owned a H4 for 7 or 8 years now. Mine has a little steam coming around the smoke stack also it has since it’s been new I’ve always thought it was condensation running down the condenser stack inside the outer shell and turned to steam when it gathered around the smoke stack. Mine...

I’ve had a 37 ton Northststar for several years it’s been a good machine and still is. I’ve made arrangements with Andrew Easton at Eastonmade to buy a new 12-22 at the Paul Bunyan show in Ohio in a couple weeks. I don’t sell wood but I burn 9 to 12 full cords of wood a season. I’m not getting...

The typical wood splitter has a pretty simple hydraulic system, pump one maybe two cylinders, valve body a few hoses tank and filter Even simple mechanical equipment has to be serviced every once in a while. $100 worth of oil and filters every two or three years is a lot cheaper than replacing...

I have a OWB it supplies two houses with heat and hot water. I brag on it to everyone that asks about it. It burns quiet a bit of wood 9 to 11 cords a year. My son and I cut it off of our farm his kids and my wife hauls and stacks it in the wood shed no one complains much about the work I think...

Oh well not the first time I’ve been wrong.

It looks like a Smoothbark Hickory to me. Almost all of mine has that green moss on it like that and heavy as lead

I have a Hardy I’ve been using it for 7 years with very little trouble. We heat two houses and heat the hot water for the houses. We use around 10 to 12 cords of wood a year. I’ve replaced the refill float switch 2 times and one door seal. When the fan shuts off there’s no air gets in the stove...

Looks like it doing as good as a store bought machine to me. Great job.

I like it I think it’s just right for a one man operation.

Everyone has opinions about everything I think you’ve got some good advice from some people on this thread. Most people have to work for everything they get and it’s not usually easy. I’ve worked as many hours a week as most people I’ve worked out of town for a week at a time for years and my...

The alpha is a good looking machine with the box splitter on it. From what I can see it doesn’t have much more waste than my splitter with the four way wedge on it does. Type of wood makes a difference in waste stringy is always terrible. I’d like to see videos with the 12.5 hp and some knotty...

Thanks for the feed back. What model did you buy.

Thanks Jeff from what I’ve read and what you guys have said I think there’s is the best machine out there.

All those videos is making it hard on me. I’m probably going to have to buy one in about 6 weeks. I don’t sell wood but I’m sure it will make it easier on my back splitting my own.
