Super split or wolfe ridge

I need a faster machine, what do you guys think. I do not want a processor because of the way i get my wood.

 

Pleased with my Wolfe Ridge.

 

I have no experience with either brand, but I like the power split design. Noticed eastonmade has a similar design with the Axis.

edit: I had super split confused with power split.

 

Both great machines that will split a lot of wood. Completely different styles though. The Pro 28 WR which appears to be there entry level model is about $5,500, whereas the entry J model SS is about $2,500. If you need a log lift and come across a lot of big wood, the WR makes sense. You could always noodle them and use the SS though. Im partial to SS, but I’ve never tried a WR. For the price of the WF you could get a SS and another toy or two as well.

 

I have run an SS for a long time now. I heat and sell so mine runs year round.

The SS is fast. Cuts thru wood as opposed to crushing it. It is simple, reliable, and requires very little maintenance. Without a log lift you will need smaller logs or a stronger back. If you get it on the beam the machine will split it.

Wolf Ridge makes a nice machine. A lot of people seem to be pleased with them. All the pros and cons one can expect with a horizontal splitter.

After nothing but positive to say about my SS, I just put my order in for an Eastonmade Axis. Cycle time is close to the SS. The vertical design reduces moving blocks back into place. Towable on the road and a log lift. Pretty tough package to beat. Even has a conveyor if you care to spend the extra coin.

 

The EM Axis looks a lot like the old Powersplits.

 

Correct....the Axis though has a taller work area and a bit more splitting power. Powersplits are still in production and I do like their forward facing conveyor. Either would work well for a man if they chose a vertical machine.
