Those big chunks can be a pain to split. Your setup with the Eastonmade and the mini excavator takes a lot of the wasted time and manual effort out!

@aldredske6197 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Ben!!😀😀 That was definitely some nasty stuff. I'm so worried that the splitter is going to self destruct with wood like that. I would take my 660 and rip them into nice shaped blocks that you could have sold if you wanted to. There will definitely be a lot of heat in those blocks. Take care my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al

I probably should have noodles some. I'd definitely be kicking myself if I bust my splitter

@crazyman3157 3 жыл бұрын

Great video Ben. Gnarly wood but it will give you some good heat in the boiler. The crotch has all sorts of grain orientation, tight grain at that, and is very dense. Definitely made your splitter work. Andrew at EastonMade sure makes a great splitter, proof is in your video Ben. Stay safe and have fun.

Great video.. do you have a box wedge? If not pick one up they make a big heavy round disappear in 4 or 5 passes

Yes I got one. But usually don't use for the knotty stuff. Works great on straight grained rounds thou

@justinlambert2447 3 жыл бұрын

What are your thoughts on a “skid steer upside down style splitter” to bust up the big stuff into more manageable chunks? How does the box wedge do on those big pieces v. 4-way wedge?

@survivingcountrylife7069 3 жыл бұрын

Big straight pieces box wedge is good. Crooked crotches I think the single knife of four way works better. I wish I had a skid loader splitter

@justinlambert2447 3 жыл бұрын

Would you prefer a 12-22 and a skid steer splitter, or just a 22-28? I already have a deposit in with Eastonmade, and get tree service wood so some are very large locust, elm, maple, etc.. Some nasty wood for sure, and many I have to cut up with chainsaw just to move them to the splitter regardless of the splitter. I use for my pottery kilns, so need the 7 way box wedge for easier handling size wood. Many Thanks.

Ben, I noticed you have the extra tall 4 way. What wedges did you order with your machine? I have to wait until January to get mine and would like to get it right when it's delivered.

@survivingcountrylife7069 3 жыл бұрын

I just got the tall 4 way and a box wedge for boiler wood. The box wedge will split it in 5 pieces if the round is big enough
