It is one heck of a machine. It's tough to keep up with only 2 people. It can make bigger pieces with the adjustable wedge. These pieces were going for bundle wood, so we were keeping them smaller. Thank you for the compliment, and check out some of our full length splitting videos.

22 inch round I call bs on that was not 22 inches

@Bern Lew it doesn't look like it, does it. The splitter is so large that it makes the rounds look smaller. I can see where you could misjudge the size. You have an awesome day, and we hope you visit the channel again.

@@bernlew977 look at her hand next to the log. That's every bit of 22"

Hi tsant. It's a eatting machine

It was nice to split some quality stuff. We had been dealing with a lot of nasty wood lately

@@IronOakSawmill Is the "nasty wood" situation a problem all over, or just in your area? How long has it been happening? Thanks!

@Gail Hitson nasty wood aka knotty logs that don't split very well. It all burns the same, but customers don't like twisted / crooked wood. They like the nice straight pretty stuff. I call it "TV wood". As in "As seen on TV" Lol

@@IronOakSawmill I like knotty wood because I always feel it burns longer. Straight is nice too. I like knotty hickory for the pork smoker.

@@Ja2808R you are correct. Those dense knots burn much longer for sure. Hickory is an awesome smoking wood.

Eastonmade makes the best splitter on the market. We are super happy to finally be able to get one.

​@Iron & Oak Sawmill there is one that's equal too. I can't remember the name but it's something fox I believe

@@johncuervo3019 I heard about that one too. Fox Mountain or something. LOL Wolfe Ridge make a pretty good splitter. Like Andrew Easton says, when you get to this level, they are all pretty good. We just feel Eastonmade was the best for us.

They aren’t the best. I have one. A lot of little things make it a pain in the ass

Sorry you feel that way. Ours is running amazingly, and has done a great job. I've never heard of anyone have issues. Sorry to hear that you are.

It is an amazing machine. The splitting part is easy. The biggest challenge is keeping it fed. It splits so fast, 3 people could be needed to make it run at full capacity.

That is one of the biggest challenges when it comes to firewood. Reducing the number of times you handle it. Sounds like you have a great plan for dealing with that. We are trying to set up a system to reduce handling. It's seem to be ever evolving at this point.

Cool, Thank you

@@IronOakSawmill I think the terms are geographical. In Ontario it would be referred to as a chunk, whether it is still circular or split. I had to carry 14 chunks of wood to the house every night in Winter. This was back in Crosscut saws and Buzz Saws and Buzz Piles.

That type of work keeps you strong. We can split into our later years, and continue to keep warm. This splitter makes the splitting easier, but keeping it fed is the hard part now.

Thank You gerry and Happy New Year's to you

Yes it is. Running it is easy. It's keeping it fed is where the work comes in.

It is convenient when we can split some nice wood like this. We split a lot of different species of wood, and the Eastonmade handles all of them.

Hi Kenneth

Split wood after school when I was a kid loved that ash , cottonwood sucked

@Les Haglund haven't split any cotton qood, but sycamore was something I really hated splitting by hand. Pro.ised myself I would never split it again. Would like to try it with this splitter though.

@@leshaglund8566 who the heck Burns Cottonwood?

I was saying, "Come on Deb" LOL. You aren't the first one to think that. BUT, I finally realize why people were saying that.

It works like a charm. Firewood is much easier now.

It absolutely is. They build amazing machinery

It is an amazing thing, isn't it. LOL Glad you enjoyed it.

It has made firewood MUCH simpler. Now to keep the beast fed.

You bet it is. Thank you for tuning in.

It does. Every once in a while it gets something in there that holds it up. No worries. The machine works awesome.

Not an issue, and not an old man. It's not about pushing in back further. Its about whats under the log when it comes back. The machine is working fine, and makes more firewood than any other splitter out there

The return is great. There was just a piece under the returning piece, that stuck out just far enough to keep it from dropping in. It happens now and then.

Thank You Joel

Have a Happy New Year's

@@debfromthemill6945 Happy New Year to you and Chuck. Hope to get to see you both when the warm weather gets here.

It works like a dream. Makes firewood much easier now.

We can go faster

Same here. Hand split for years, then a single wedge, then finally got this one.

Hello James. It eventually pushes it all out. Just need to work through the pile of rounds.

Firewood production has increased dramatically, while the effort has decreased substantially. Rounds like you see in this video would have been a major effort. It's like night and day. There is absolutely no comparison from our old splitter, to this one, and our old splitter was one of the faster single wedge splitters, at a 12 second cycle time.

@@IronOakSawmill at 12 seconds thats like a 4 or 5 min log, maybe longer... wow!! I currently use a handy tools splitter and its a good machine aside from the fact that it only has a single wedge. I want a box wedged easton made so bad... i gotta get this new job going then buy one

Alot very fast willdavidsonakawd.Happy New Year's to you

The Eastonmade makes it fun. Hardly feels like working.

Hello rickim. It was fun but I had a little pressure behind me

Too much firewood around here. We are selling, but the price is too low in my eyes

It is definitely a money maker. We worked towards this for 5 years or do, since we first saw one. This will allow us to split much later in life. We'll worth it.

It sure is. We were super happy to finally own one. They are amazing

Thank you very much. It has split everything we have put through it. It's an amazing machine.

You bet Anthony. An awesome machine

That's the truth. Firewood is fun again.

The best

Thanks Michael. Yes it is

Thanks Joe. Eastonmade build one heck of a machine.

Thank you. Splitting is a lot more fun now.

It definitely is in both cases. It makes splitting a lot more fun these days.

Thank you Bryan. We are super happy to finally own one. It was a long time coming

We agree Chris. Firewood is actually fun again.

We agree. Makes firewood alot simpler

I'm sure we could finish that up in a hurry.

Thank You Rick. Happy New Year's to you

It works great for us. We are thrilled to have it.

Thank you Brett. We like it too.

Deb always comes through. GO DEB!!!!

Yes your exactly right backyardfirewood

You bet my friend. Splitting was fun, now it's a party. LOL

Thanks Todd Happy New Year's to you

It has made firewood much easier now. We are super happy ti finally have this one.

Thank you Steve.

Absolutely it is. Firewood has become a lot simpler now.

Hello Art. Put plenty of oak knots through it. No issues. Oak, hickory, ash, maple, cherry. It still splits it.

It was a fun piece to split, buy we can push most anything through this machine. We ha e a 4 way and a 6 way wedge for it, so no logs should be an issue.

@@IronOakSawmill My statement doesn't have much bearing sense. I go after loggers and clean up tops and it's all smaller stuff so I get it. I think I split 60 chords this year so far but have to stay warm somehow lol

I tell you there's nothing better than going out in the woods and having such a enjoyment from the quiet of the woods and getting all your yuckies out, split and firewood and cutting it and cleaning up the forest. I enjoy watching your videos too. keep up the good work

@1979utuber we get 99% tree service wood. You really have to dig through it to find good stuff. Being in the woods, or on the mill is awesome. It's good to go home tired, and Hungry, knowing g you earned a good meal and a good night sleep. The peace in the woods is a bonus for sure. We hope you keep watching. Any suggestions for videos, let us know.

@@IronOakSawmill sounds great! yeah I have a LT40 super from 2005. problem is the Nissan engine you can't really get parts for. so now I'm thinking either going electric motor with a generator or Kawasaki 37 horse V-Twin. but yeah like you said coming home tired enjoying what we're supposed to be doing. working hard and cleaning up the forest to provide a product is always great. thanks again!

But these logs were not fit for lumber. We have salvaged more ash in the past few years than most. Mills overlooked ash as "poor man's oak" and tossed it aside. We realized that it will be gone in just a few years, so we milled thousands of board feet, and have more logs to mill in the log yard. We keep the best for lumber, and live edge slabs, and the rest for firewood. It's a shame the tree will be gone soon. We are happy in the knowledge that we have saved so much of it for future generations to enjoy.

Need lumber for a house but also need the wood for heat. How is it wasted? Cheaper than gas or pellets! Need to stay warm somehow lol

Hello Greg. We look at each log, we get to see which ones are good for milling or firewood.

No my design. This is the product of Eastonmade Wood SPlitters

Thank you Dave. We have been super happy with this splitter. Firewood has become a lot more fun since taking delivery. LOL

@@IronOakSawmill I'll bet , it will finally get old , hopefully you have some kids around !!! 😁

@Dave Kreitzer we do have a couple kids in their 30s. No interest right now, but we are working on it.

Thanks for watching

It is an amazing machine. We split for years by hand, then got a single wedge splitter. After many years, we were able to afford this one. We enjoyed splitting by hand, but it wasn't practical for us anymore. Its good to hear someone say they prefer an ax.

Thank You Miriam

You sure can. We used to do that with our old splitter.

@@IronOakSawmill yessir. Looks like you decided to automate the process and save your back.

No jam is this splitter. We just send the next round through, and everything is pushed out. This machine has made firewood so much easier.

Motivation my friend.....Motivation. Got to keep her excited about splitting.

@@IronOakSawmill , I’m sorry I thought you said Dad in the clip. Sometimes I don’t hear so good. I’m glad to see an American making something. ✌️

@@jonnycool9862 No worries. Thank you for checking it out

Thank you Jo. Making firewood has become much easier

Thank You Brad. Happy New Year's to you

It is an amazing machine. Firewood is much more fun now.

Thank You Very Much. It has made firewood a lot easier

@@IronOakSawmill I bet it has 👍

Thank you Preston.

Good thi g I don't live I. Australia. LOL. May have to find out some day.

Nice work my friend. That must be a sight to see.

I'm fast too bro but this beast puts out five pieces of wood with each stroke. You and I are faster than a regular splitter but not this one. Just cuz you insist doesn't make it so. This one's got us bro. I'm sure you like the workout as much as I do though. Check out my other comment on here. Use big tires to hold your rounds and split like a mad man. Happy splitting!

@@topshelf65ace86 it's fast. The workout comes from trying to keep it fed. You aren't working hard to split the wood, but 3 good people are needed to keep this thing running at full potential.

It is amazing, for sure.

One would think so. Unless we have a conveyor to take the wood away, into a dump trailer, where we can transport it to a customer, or a stacking location, where we can lift the dump trailer, reach into the trailer from a standing position, retrieve the wood, and stack it in the proper location. Check out some of our other videos, featuring our conveyor. Also, while one is splitting, the other can grab the wood, before it falls to the ground, and toss it into the trailer, or stack it directly where it should go. Lots of different options. We just aren't showing them in this video.

Not even for that fire pit out in the back yard? LOL Enjoy the warm winters my friend

@@IronOakSawmill Haha touche'

These are being split to customer request. We can go bigger with this wedge, or switch to the 4 or 6 way wedge. It's good to market to multiple consumers. Much better business plan. Thank you for your comment.

Hello Scott. We call these little pieces starter strip they work great to start your fire with

@Deb from the mill Yes, that makes sense Deb.

It's one heck of a machine www.eastonmadewoodsplitters.com/

That's what we love about this splitter

Thanks so much Colleen. Have a Happy New Year's to you

@@debfromthemill6945 Happy New Year Deb & Chuck!!

You bet it is. Ready for some good steaks

@@IronOakSawmill oh not just stakes brother chicken pork and lamb and some good ol kobobs as well it will come just perfect 👍

Had to cheer her on. LOL

Agreed. But this is what the customer wants. Smaller splits for the fireplace or fire pit. We can also split big by adjusting this wedge, or swapping out for a 4 or 6 way wedge. Lots of options to please lots of customers.

Thank You Lynn. Splitting is a lot more fun now

We've split all of that before. No issues. In fact, one of the first videos we did of this splitter, are some huge rounds of hickory.

Absolutely. Exactly what the customer ordered. Best business plan out there. Give the customer what they want. Some nice sized pieces for the fireplace or fire pit. We also split larger pieces for those who are heating with the wood. It all depends on the customer. All of ours are VERY happy.

Hello Brian and thank you for your question. Eastonmade makes several different machines, with different options. If you visit yhe website listed below, you can research what you want. Prices have changed lately, and I don't want to give you bad information. www.eastonmadewoodsplitters.com/

@@IronOakSawmill Thank you $ Happy New Year That is the best wood splitter I’ve ever seen

@@briansullivan1621 it is an absolute beast of a machine. We are extremely happy with it.

It is a beauty. That's for sure. It was 5 or 6 years in the making, but we finally got it. Wood has become a lot more fun since then. LOL

I bet it does make life easier

We are coaching her, and we should have her doing sub 30 second splits any day now. Sorry for the sloppy performance. Carry On. LOL

It depends on the options you order. Please visit eastonmadewoodsplitters.com

Hello younismehdi. I see Chuck took care of this answer

Thank you Joe. Yep, that's an Eastonmade 12-22. You can check their website for pricing. It's a little different since we bought this one, but not a whole lot, I don't think.

Thank you Steven. Splitting firewood has become a lot more fun now.

Splitters are in high demand. You should sell that one that sits in your garage. Someone might be able to use it.

The Eastonmades fit our needs perfectly. It's nice to run a quality machine

This wood will be sold. We have the big woodshed behind us, fully stocked for us.

It was a long time coming. We split by hand, and a single wedge splitter for years. This machine has made firewood, a lot more fun
