I work with lot nasty wood. That tall 4 way would be best for me. The box wedge would be great for them huge rounds. I working with box store splitter and it is so slow. Hope to get into a commercial splitter soon. I looking into a dump trailer first.

I've watched (and givin a big ol thumbs up to) more than 30 of your videos in the last few weeks. I've been wanting to heat with wood for several years now. It's very likely that I'll own a 12-22 before I own a wood boiler. As a machinist I can see the quality that puts you ahead of your competition. What a great product.

Like the 6 way on my Halverson 120 and 4 way on my Ramsplitter upside down splitter.

Thought I clicked on GP outdoors for a second. You answer questions before they are asked Andrew.

[BillSkidmoreoutside]

I really like your honesty about stuff, not just trying to sell stuff

[tomwaldo]

Thanks. I understand the wedges better now.

[OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Great video and discussion Andrew! Really enjoy the channel, tips, and your awesome setups! Keep up the great work.

Just got the call from Drew. 12-22 will be here on Sunday!! Can't wait to destroy the stuff I have pre cut for it. Love the videos and am so excited. Thanks Andrew!

Nice job Andrew explaining the difference between 4 and 6 way! We use the 4 way for the smaller logs to keep from splitting to small for our boiler, then switch to the 6 way for the 12 to 15 inch stuff then back to the 4 way for the nasty stuff.

[DudeRanchDIY]

I’ve been using my 4 way constantly, tired the 6 way and it worked well but like you said Andrew, you really need those “perfect” sized rounds in order for it to make those nice pretty pieces of firewood!

[malbojah]

I've been using a 5-11 with the 4- way for the past month and with the knotty oak that I have I think it works just fine. Also seeing the splitter snap the wood if it goes in sideways always brings a smile to my face

After watching you muscle the wedges to change them over I had a thought that a simple overhead crane like an engine crane that could take the hard work out of the lift could be handy. Just drop it into a mount somewhere near the oil tank and it could could be swung in or out as needed and removed if not needed.

[daveholmes]

Whoa! Nice tractor Andrew! That will definitely be handy, I'd probably go with the 4 way and box wedge for my needs and always want the 6 way also Lol! Nice job on the showing the difference between the two 👍

[thefirewooddoctor]

For my needs, a 4-way eedge and bundle wedge is thr way to go.

[Tonnsfabrication]

A large majority of my wood comes from the loggers buck saw. It's always big and knotty and always a PITA to bust up but damn, those large oak knots are some of the best long burning wood you'll ever toss in a fire.

I've been running a 12-22 for a while now. Your explanation on the wedges is spot on Andrew. I get a lot of tree service wood so the 4 way and box wedge are my go to. I rarely use the 6 way wedge unless I get log loads or consistent size pieces of about 8-14 inches in diameter. Nice looking Grand L you have there.

[WoodchuckCanuck]

5:54 pretty much sums it up. Both get the job done. For our 12-22 we have the 4, 6 and box. For the first week I tried all three. For the last year or so, the 4way has remained in the machine. We run most of our logs through the Hakki PIlki. Whatever is too big for that machine (+15" diameter), or is too knotty, twisted or rotten, we set aside and let the good ol' reliable 12-22 get the job done.

Have you ever built a diesel splitter? What’s the biggest way wedge you guys have ever made? As always thanks for the videos!

[kevinbrewer]

I agree with the ugly pieces of wood with the four way wedge. Now my opinion if a person is not sure which one to get two questions they should ask themselves is how big of pieces they want and the size of rounds you are going to use. Love the channel.

[jeremy]

Everything you said Andrew is exactly spot on! I use my 6 way 100% of the time, I wish I got the 4 way instead of the 8 way, I only used my 8 way for 30min and it’s been sitting in storage ever since, oops my mistake! I wish I could trade the 8 way for a 4 way, either way I love everything about my 12-22!
