Fastest Hydraulic Wood Splitter on Earth | My Thoughts on Eastonmade Ultra

Рет қаралды 66,506

Жыл бұрын

When a new wood splitter rolls along into the wood yard, I can't help but feel like things are about to change. Whether the change is for the better or not will be seen today as I give you a run-down on this brand new Eastonmade Ultra wood splitter. This wood splitter is the fastest hydraulic wood splitter on the market today and rivals the cycle time of previously untouched kinetic wood splitters. Best thing about it is it's hydraulic so way less moving parts. Now before I get ahead of myself, lets see whether the hype surrounding this wood splitter is actually true. A proper shake down is in order and that's just what we'll do. Glad you're all here for the first look and splitting of this wood splitter. Should be a good one!

Another great real world test, thanks Sandy. I have always been skeptical of the 4 way wedge, and you proved me right. It is really only good in a picture perfect world. I feel like it gave inconsistent splits in size etc. That being said I am on the Easton made wood splitter website, very impressed with the product, just as a personal preference i would stick to a single wedge. I look forward to future videos where you perfect your technique. Change my mind on the four way.

I've only ever done this twice on my friends small holding in South Wales, UK, loved being outside helping a friend. We've both taught manual handling in past lives and were initially throwing the split wood in the same way you did. Wish I'd known about the tool used to pick up the logs. Having stopped for a piece of cake and a cup of tea, why wouldn't we, we're Brits, we decided to move the splitter next to the cage rather than in line with the rear of it. The throwing is in a straight motion rather than twisting our backs whilst throwing. Where are we going to get our 'Sawing with Sandy' hit if you get hurt. Gotta love the outdoors, keep it going Sandy, always look forward to the next episode!!

One slight drawback is no log lift but a round too heavy to lift can be halved or quartered with a saw. No hydraulic wedge either. Maybe they could be an addon option for the Ultra. One needs a model up for those. Otherwise, real nice splitter and real nice tour of it. World class stuff.

@sawingwithsandy Жыл бұрын

All good points Neil. I think to likely keep the price point where it is some of those features maybe had to go to higher models. Not too sure though. I figure I'll load my tractor bucket with the heavy rounds to lift it up if needed.

You'll quickly figure out that the single wedge does a much better/easier job on those gnarly crotch pieces of firewood. The Eastonmade ultra is a great splitter. Just like the your FX85 skidding winch you'll quickly wonder why did I wait so long to get this. Chris at In The Woodyard youtube channel has been running the ultra for quite a while. So that would be a good resource for tips and tricks on how best to use it.

Hi Sandy like your videos I am in Aberdeen Scotland and run my house completely on wood . You are having to handle your wood more than necessary with your splitter gwhere with a Farmi 36 you put the log on the processor cut it split it and conveyor it to your trailer or wherever. Now it is fast. Having been since 2006 I notice North Americans seem to favour splitters as to wood processors big mistake in my opinion processors save time for you to sawmill. Just bought a Norwood MN 27 something new for me mostly larch. Have fun.

@sawingwithsandy Жыл бұрын

Great to have ya on the channel. That processor sounds like a great tool for ya. One thing that likely holds back many from the processor purchase here is the cost compared with that of the splitter which is often considerably less. Sounds like a great sawmill ya got!

These are a very nice entry level commercial splitter. There are a few changes I would like to see… 1) catch table edged. I recommended to Andrew that they brake these to 45* instead of 90*. Chris from the woodyard can attest to my suggestion 2). Pinning single wedge. I also recommended put the “weld stops” on the single wedge at the highest position. I see no advantage to having multiple setting for a single wedge. Only needs one hole at highest setting and it will stay put during transporting.

@@sawingwithsandy Sandy, no recent Eastonmade owner will give an actual wait time for their splitter. I have a 12-22 ordered and was told the canned "12-13 months". Did Andrew tell you guys to keep the delivery time a secret or what? Things were supposed to get quicker with the move to the new shop. I'm climbing the walls waiting to get the call. Thanks!
