It's unbelievable how fast the circle blade goes through the wood.

Thats definitely the full of it!! Great video josh. Really interested to see how you guys make out with the new splitter beam when you get it.

We are definitely looking forward to it! I think it will make pushing those big rounds through a little easier

That answer, sass a CHIT TOn of my questions I can't take the risk on buying one because the logs I git are identical to what you ran in video. I'll have TO think RILL HARD now.but I need a PROSSER bad.

I agree, if you're going to have resplit big rounds even going with a 12 way wedge, using a 8 way wedge may make it overall easier on the processor. I suspect that going with a 16 or 20 way wedge, may make the problem worse with the big diameter rounds.

@eliteoutdoors2748 2 жыл бұрын

Exactly right. I do appreciate that eastonmade takes the time to engineer a machine that will not just tear itself apart. I would trade having to dislodge a log occasionally over bending a wedge. I would imagine with a 7” splitter cylinder this would have caused permanent damage to the machine

Well it’s been a few months about time to do an update on the processor? Would love to hear your thoughts after plugging the hours to it !

Some big wood for sure!!! Makes the loads of 8-12 inch wood look tiny lol

I definitely prefer multiteks lod grappling system for holding and advancing the logs

First off if you're running a 100k processor you obviously have an endless log source so there is no need to struggle with the random large log. You should be picking through loading the correct logs to keep the processor rolling. Lastly if you're going to use your entire crew to resplit what comes from the processor then start with the 4 way and have your crew resplit those with a 6 way. Just doing that will cut your work load in half as your guys are only picking up 4 pieces instead of 8. Personally I'd stack them logs off to the side and resell them when I get a load ready.

I know we don’t have to struggle with these. I just took this video in an effort to help others. I’m always getting asked how it handles large diameter. We are still just testing the machine. Production is not what I’m focused on at this time. I’ll post another video once we have the buildings, concrete, and full operation setup. The firewood will never touch the ground and rarely be touched by hand. Should be very efficient

@@eliteoutdoors2748 Oh I see, you're just fooling about with it. It's not to often you see someone invest 200K into a set up like this and they just play around with it. I envy you in a big way , that thing is one bad ass play toy. And I'll add that it was cool to see its limitations as I did not think it would have any, not on the splitter least ways.

@@Tonnsfabrication Appreciate it! oh we take the firewood business very seriously. We work hard and sell a lot of firewood, but we do have other businesses and do not want to be forced to cut firewood everyday. That is why we invest. When you can produce 25-30 cords in 1 day you don’t have to cut firewood as many days. These machines free up lots of time for other things.

Thanks for sharing. The circular saw worked fantastic, but the hydraulic splitter appeared to lack power, for such a heavy duty machine?

@eliteoutdoors2748 2 жыл бұрын

We are working on that with eastonmade now. Should be running higher pressure on the splitter soon

Thanks for the video definitely makes me wonder how a 16 way wedge will do. I’m in Texas our wood down here is hard, narly, knotty & twisted. After seeing this makes me a little scared to purchase a processor.

@eliteoutdoors2748 2 жыл бұрын

Pushing knotty, gnarly wood through a 16way wedge is not easy. Not sure if there’s a processor on the market that’s capable of that. You can find plenty of 16way videos but they are running perfectly straight saw logs. Not sure why everyone tries to hide the true limits of these machines

@@jsanchez3818 if that's the wood you have you might be limited to running a straight split or 4 way and replitting a ton of it if it's bigger stuff, and that would suck. Good luck, Man.

@heathenfirewoodservice2021 2 жыл бұрын

Do you guys have the 18 way wedge? I feel like I heard Andrew say the 60c can run that. It might not be a product line piece yet. Anyways that’s a killer rig you guys got best of luck cranking the wood out!!

Will you be setting this processor up the same way as you previously had with 2 splitters on discharge end?

@eliteoutdoors2748 2 жыл бұрын

Yes we will. Our plan is to process onto a custom made 16’ horizontal belt conveyor that will basically just be a moving table. That is where the re splits will be processed. Then it will all feed into the eastonmade conveyor and disc cleaner

@@eliteoutdoors2748 yeah your setup looks pretty slick. It’s about the only way you can get good consistent splits in a wedge like this. A grid style wedge may help but not sure EM will be able to fit that style in this splitting chamber. Along with any of these multi wedges is trash. Some like it some don’t. I just remembered when you had to push the stuck piece clear, I asked EM if they would consider putting remote controls by the splitting cylinder. 1) it would help in situations like this…no need to jump in and out of cab or get another person and 2) with the trap door what’s not to say you can’t use the splitting chamber like a normal horizontal splitter?…drop trap door, toss in a chunk, hit remote splitter control…done.

It’s holding up great! We’ve had a lot going on this last year or two so I just haven’t kept up with KZfaq at all. Sometimes I post on the firewood sites on Facebook so I’ll try to get some updated videos of it running there soon. The processor still runs great and breezes through logs in a hurry!
