This is the video that convinced me to buy my Axis. Took 1 yr. 2 mo. & 20 of the longest days of my life to recieve it!😂

This was a very good detailed view of the axis. Of all the reviews of the machine That I'd seen, none mentioned the dimensions of the table or the size of the log lift chute.. Thank you.

Awesome review Tony, appreciate the time you put into this video. I’m looking into getting a firewood splitter and this machine is on the top of my list! Thanks again

Great video Tony. I haven't ever seen that much wood on the Axis. If you're watching Brittany the pin wheel makes the machine!!! Really appreciate all the support.

Great show Tony!!

I can see that being able to stand at a workbench and sliding and spinning the logs is much easier than bending over not to mention wrestling with stuck logs makes this unit the choice for me. It also seems much easier for a single person to use alone. I only split wood for myself so I am really not concerned with seconds on my cycle time. Now I just have to send him 500 bucks and in a short 15 months Ill have one lol. Looks like it will work good for breaking beads on tires also. Thanks for the video.

Nice job Tony 👏 Thanks for sharing 👍

HI Tony, great review on a great machine!! I appreciate your perspective on all of the equipment you showcase and review on your channel, thanks for sharing.

Nice Introduction, Nicely Explained and well constructed,

One of the best reviews on this splitter so far👏it no wonder you have so many subscribers in such a short time.

Great machine Tony thanks for the review . Terry

Good explanation , good video , Thanks Tony

For mostly bundle wood production, I can see your affinity toward the Axis. For occasional bundle wood, but mostly firewood for other-than-bundles, the 12-22 all day long. The 12-22 is a production beast, especially with the choice of a 4 way, 6 way or box wedge. Cheers!

Good morning Tony! Nice walk-around and demo. Love this machine - it is awesome! Splitting firewood has never been so civilized. LOL!

Great video Tony. Very nice machine.

That is a very quality built machine!! Andrew thought that through when designing it!! I see a lot of advantages to having a vertical splitter!! Stay safe my friend

Nice breakdown of the features and the operation of the Axis Tony.

Great review of the Axis!! Hard to believe you've had it for a year!! Have a Safe Day

The axis or ultra would be perfect for my operation. Another great review Tony. ~Daryl

Tony great review on thy Axis love it and less work TY Ron.

👍 I’ve seen you run this machine before and it is a beast.

Nice job, thanks for the detailed look and review. I'd love to have one of these!

Very good review of the Axis! Would like to have one some day.

Being 6'2 myself, the wokring height really looks awesome!

Good morning Tony. You really found your calling doing demonstrations. You're knowledge and thoroughness is amazing. I love your pinwheel! Has it helped your production? I feel like the wind energy it gives off could really be an asset! 🤣 The Axis is a beast and I am thankful to you for all of your hospitality! Take care and stay cool this summer! 💗 Brittany

Hello Tony, thank you for the one year review of your Eastonmade Axis. Cannot believe yours is a year old. I think the Axis is just about the most versatile log splitter, as you can split huge rounds 40”+ to splitting kindling. Having the work table at a height without bending over. The lift table is massive and can fit a lot of rounds on and has the power to lift them. When you get use to the Axis, you can achieve multi splits per round (pie cuts) without taking the round off the table.

Great video on axis Tony! Very thorough review!

Good review Tony..

Easton Made should use this video on their website

The proper working table height is a huge benefit in keeping your back from getting overly sore. Although you didn't show it in your splitting demo, processing those bigger rounds is much easier on the Axis due to the large work table and log lift.

Great video Tony Eastonmade # 1 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦

That’s a great splitter Tony!👍👍

Looks like the axis will do everything you need it to great video

hi there nice. they make nice splitters .good set up . i split a bit different then most people on a old splitter i made 50 or so years ago. happy splitting john

Such an amazing versatile machine. Eastonmade is the best in my opinion. I've owned my 22-28 since September 2019 and it never failed me.

Great show Tony. Thank you for sharing this and giving your honest opinion on this machine. I'm not sure how fast that conveyor travels, but why would you need it to go faster than what you showed here.? People may say, you need to run it faster to throw it further. That's just gonna wear parts out quick plus it'll rob hydraulic oil from the wedge ram like you mentioned. The 2nd reason is you can only split the wood so fast, so a fast speed conveyor spends most of its time empty wearing parts. (I'm not sold on the conveyor speed as a good option). I do like this splitter. It one of the best I've seen. I like all the other options it has. Thank you.

Great approach to splitting and stacking , 1 full cord an hour neatly stacked is impressive

Looks like a excellent splitter. I spit what people call tree service wood. I would like a 12-22 or the next size up. I work full time and don’t sell wood. I might start selling bundles because I got 3 years ahead right now. Good video as always.

That's a great piece of equipment !

Powersplit is the splitter that Andrew copied. Lol He forgot to add the "drive it around on the yard" aspect though. I don't understand why the exhaust on a lot of splitters blows right in your face. I had to put a diverter shield on 2 of my splitters. So, I have a 1 yr. waiting period to get my Axis. At 65 I hope I'm still alive!!! Nuce review Tony but I was sold on the first review that you and Chris did.. Nice video Have a great day!

Tony the Eastonmade Axis is definitely one cool well made tool and very well suited to your firewood splitting for bundles and boiler use. Wonder how much added frictional surface area is needed on the table to keep the angle splits from slipping at the heel…would a textured epoxy paint system like Rhino liner work versus a modification to add expanded metal strip or raised texture surface from the manufacturer. Glad you and Chris were able to troubleshoot the directional exhaust port issue so you no longer get splitting headaches 🤕

So cool, excellent.

Thanks Tony for the detailed review!! I think you brought out all the pro’s an con’s of the machine. Too bad your tractor won’t lift it…that would be a big plus I would think,if it did. Does the foot petal get hung up when moving it? It appears to be so close to the ground……thanks again ! 🪵🪓👍👏 Rick

Great review. You should’ve been a sales rep🤣🤣🤷‍♂️ Thanks for the info Tony👍🏻👍🏻

Another Cool Tool 👍👍🇺🇸

Tony you probably get a starter kits at northern equipment for your motor. I can’t see it’s be a problem hook it’s up . EASTONMADE are on holiday until August 07 , 2022 the hold company employees are off . I got it on my e-mail , great video keep out off the hot weather .

Obviously no beers before operating this machine. Hope you keep all your fingers !

Hello Tony, Love the Axis, stand up and split! Its only 2nd to me sitting in the bobcat running the Halverson 120😂Take Care and work safe🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

I can't believe I haven't watched this video. If I recall right you had a different eastonmade, the 12-28?? I have to mow before it rains but I can't wait to watch this video! Part of me is wondering if you'll be upgrading to the new axis? Thanks for all you do Tony!

Good job old best friend!

Lots of folks use these machines but to me it was your opinion that the axis had to pass muster. Thanks Tony!

Oh man I have major wood splitter envy! But I'm still happy with my DR RapidFire...

You have more control on the splitting size etc for a smaller/mid-side user in volume.

Great bundle wood machine, nice thorough review Tony. I should do a 3 year review on my 12-22. Why do you cut the entire side out of your IBC tote?

One problem I have often observed is that when rounds or pieces with slightly canted ends are being split, they frequently slide out of position. Perhaps something can be done on the table top to prevent this slippage. Possibly a piece of expanded steel or some gridwork of welds? Otherwise, that is an absolutely excellent stand up piece of equipment.

The knife height is adjustable, as you said. One operator commented that he does not like it to stop close to the round because it does not allow enough time for him to get out of the way. If the knife is dull you would get better performance if you sharpened it. I expect that the vertical is much slower than the horizontal. I suppose that depends on exactly what you want to do with it. The speed that you described was not a bad speed. You probably did not count the time it took to stage all of that wood. The reason the vertical is slower is that you need to give each piece constant attention, instead of just pushing the go lever.

That staging is awsome this could be the one i need for my bundle wwood business

Cool tool. Tony

Wow! That thing looks brand new even though I know you’ve used it A LOT! You keep your stuff immaculate. Great 1 year review. Any idea how much wood you have produced with it in a year?

I don't care how good of friend they are...I would not have their goofy pinwheel on my nice Axis! 🙄 Does the machine have leveling bubbles on it anywhere or do you have to carry a level around? Like so many 1st generation makes of things. There will be bugs and issues discovered once they hit the field. It seems to always pay off in waiting for the smoke to clear and get the next generation model. Andrew always seems to be forthcoming with issues and tackles them straight on. He strives to make them better, and not just the finger pointing alot of manufacturers seem to do with issues. Thanks for video!👍

Powersplit makes a single.and double splitter with conveyer and it can self propels to wood location

For me I think that is the best splitter. I'm making boiler wood so a single wedge is all I need and I think there is far less waste. I noticed your one IBC tote you have the front cut out of it all the way to the bottom. Looks like a better option, have you had any issues with it?

👍👍

Hi Tony, I just received my Axis today and am blown away. Have you, or are you planning on grinding the wedge to a little bit sharper edge? I've only run mine for 3 hours but am curious if you think that would make a significant difference.

It would've been nice to see the setup process.

A few points from another Axis owner.. the machine is a beast and nothing will stop it. It’s a solid unit but can be improved with a bit of engineering. 1) Engine should be turned 90 degrees CCW to blast cooling air AWAY from hydraulic tank so it doesn’t heat up the oil and operator during the summer. It should be fine in the winter, but it roasts you in hotter weather. I installed a baffle to block the airflow and that has helped. 2) The lift table should be just about 1/4” higher than the tabletop so large rounds slide onto it easier. 3) Conveyor need major re-design so it feeds better. The machine design forces compromises on the conveyor but I’m sure it can be improved. The feed performance is bad and most people toss the wood half way up the chain to get it to go. The new shark fin paddles will help, but the overall design needs help. 4) I saw Joe’s muffler video when he put it out but it looks like he’s taken it down. It was an honest criticism and it’s too bad it’s gone.

cool tool

👍

Love the videos Tony, Chris may have to step aside. You defently have the tools.

Good job Tony. May I suggest you make more videos once a week I don't think is enuff for you to increase your subscriber rate, Oh, by the way, have you looked at the Napa mini processor I would be willing to bet it you contacted them they would be happy to sponsor you, just saying :-)

Cool video Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪 tony Found channel through chris

Getcha a tote to put by your left foot when splitting to catch the kindling, splinters left on the deck.... For use later to give or sell to customers...???

i should have bought your 12-22 when you sold it, it only needed a box wedge to make it perfect for me i should get to the shows and run some of these splitters even the one chris has might be more than enough splitter for me. maybe a road trip to the wood yard would be good also as im probably only 4 hours west of chris and i could try his splitter and get my 15 minutes of fame as they say.

I wonder if they could put ram limiter on a horizontal splitter

Morning Tony I enjoy your channel instead of putting your tote on the ground and bending over when you’re doing what you’re doing but I stack put a couple skids under the coat so you don’t have to bend down so much thanks Bill

How tall is it to the top of the cylinder? Looking for what size garage door?

Good morning everyone

Just curious does it come less the conveyor?

Sad you skip a lot of wood. I enjoyed watching the log splitting and listen to the wood cracking.

Can u get different wedges for this splitter tony

My Daddy (Dana @ TowMe Trailers) says Eastonmade builds the best stuff hands down. And I wouldn’t argue with him, ok I argue with him but you shouldn’t !

Tony, are you okay? You sound like you're out of breath from just talking. Your breathing sounds so labored that it makes me think that you have a physical ailment, or is that just from being overweight? Either way, I wish you the best, and hope that you're doing okay.

Does anyone rent these in Ontario?
