Nice splitter and I love the box wedge design you highlighted in another video. I own a Wolferidge 35 Ton SHO with the box and love it though yours seems to create less of a mess. They are sending me a 12x wedge soon which I'm excited about. The funning thing is, as impressive as yours and mine are, my dads 1981 homemade splitter is still my favorite! I'll never part with that one.

@@HometownAcres Suger Maple (aka hardwood maple) is a beautiful hardwood to work with in furniture crafting. Silver maple can grow just as large and is technically a hardwood as well, but its features are bland and the tree is prone to decay. Around where I live we have a saying: "Silver Maples are good for two things: Growing fast and falling on your house." Perhaps look into an Alaskan Saw Mill to diversify your lumber holdings. Milled boards can fetch a modest price if cut from the right kind of tree.

I have a TimberWolf log splitter which is similar to this model. Whenever I get it stuck splitting big rounds, I take a split piece of firewood and place it virtually (like a post) behind the log by the push; I then try and split again, sometimes moving the piece around after each attempt. With this technique I can usually split any piece within a 1-3 attempts. This trick works by changing the location and amount of force applied.

Growing up we went cutting every year. My Dad and several of his brothers got together and filled 4 2 ton dump trucks and several pickups in one day with split and stacked in the truck oak and hickory. My uncle had a" lickety log splitter" he modified with an 18 inch wedge and a bigger cylinder and he kept the blade sharp... I remember one time he put a 3 way knot that size on it. It grunted and groaned as it literally cut it's way thru it. I hated it then, happy memories now.

Nice video Adam, that eastonmade splitter is a beautiful machine I myself have a 12-22 and could not be happier with it. The guys that build them are of the same quality as the machine, great company. Have you had any experience with the box wedge and draw back arm? I use it on the massive rounds as well, pieces come out nice and uniform and the draw back arm avoids having to constantly pick up the massive pieces that fall of the catch pan. You get four pieces each push but you save all kinds of time by not having to pick everything up again and can cycle way faster. Great option and well worth it so you can maximize the wood you have in the yard. Check it out if you haven't seen it Jay

If they stagger the six way wedge wedge faces, it should allow the splitter to handle larger pieces. If faces 1and 2 are an inch ofset from faces 3 and 4 which are offset 1 inch from faces 5 and 6. As a log goes through, the first two faces have started splitting when faces 3 and 4 just touch the wood and 5 and 6 are not in contact yet so it helps the machine handle more.

We have the 12-22 as well. The box wedge is what you need to produce large amounts of consistent sized fireword. I run about 15,000 bundles a year through the box wedge.... I find the 6 way wedge works best on the 8 to 12 inch rounds I one quick push, but anything large it's easier to stick with the box wedge. Large crotch and knotty pine will cause the box wedge to jam up, and I have actually had to cut a round off the splitter before... ( Very large knot about 6" into a 40" diam pine). The box wedge does leave a lot more debris however..

Adam. Do you have a single vertical wedge to go on the machine? Maybe with the really big rounds, just split in half first and not let them fall off to keep from lifting them again and keep the big chunks on the lift side. That is similar to what you are doing with the four way. You could use it and split first right down the middle and work with the four quarters?

OK I've been watching these Easton Made splitter videos for a while and a guy I know is having one delivered in March 2020. I need to split 26" to 30 " long pieces for my Alternate Energy gasification wood boiler. I'm using an American brand right now that is a beast with a log lift. Nothing and I mean nothing stops my piston and it weighs 1,100 lbs. Towable from both ends, flush to pusher height table which lets you slide the big pieces back easy (that was my design). 11 inch high spliting wedge with drop on 4 way. If this Easton can do 30 " inch pieces for my boiler and convert to a box splitter for the bundled short wood we sell at my store combined with the cycle time I will buy one. Can't wait to see my friends unit up close in March. These guys seem to have thought of most everything and the cycle time is the huge advantage over the American I'm using. Great video but the length is what defines the sack of a true splitter. Diameter is nothing compared to the length of the piece being split.Looks really well made compared to most other units out there. I'll pick his apart when it shows up and get back on here with my worthless opinion.

Haha I know they can customs make longer rams. I believe mine is 24-26” long somewhere in there but I’ve seen Eastonmade post videos with custom splitters they built for customers with 36” strokes

Andrew can accommodate you with no problem check out his videos he made a custom 12-22 with a 36 inch stroke but it has a very clever stop design when using it to make shorter wood so you don't have to wait for the long stroke cycle give him a call you wont be sorry it handles the box wedge very nice and is designed with an arm that brings the wood back until the piece is split awesome x10

Even though that started to split with the 6 way the top split went at an angle and I think the eye loop on top got in the way of the splitting process more so than the lower wedges.

You would enjoy a box wedge on large rounds like that. Big splits don't fall off the splitter.

@@HometownAcres, just watched your box-wedge videos. Outstanding. That's a great design they have. If I purchased one, I'd have them make the verticals about 5-1/2" apart to keep the splits larger. Larger splits burn longer, of course. I realize that for your use in selling the wood, the smaller splits are a better fit.

I was wondering how much that first round weighed. The log lift seemed to lift it easily. Great video. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Merry Christmas to all of your followers.

Adam... gotta love them big rounds!😆 they do have a benefit as you seen first hand, there is a lot of wood in them. My next few sentences are gonna draw some heat but I’m calling it like I know it cause I’ve used both...commercial dedicated vertical splitters handle big pieces like this with much less effort and faster. I myself am more partial to the horizontal as I have a modified commercial made splitter that I’ve put up against a cloned commercial vertical. On

Hey Garny, thanks for your honesty. I’ve never used a commercial vertical splitter but I can tell you when you are splitting stuff this size production drops way down that’s for sure!

That's a nice splitter. Try Pin Oak on it. That stuff is PINNED together. I don't use a hydraulic splitter much. This past weekend was the first time I mounted my homemade skid steer splitter this season. That was only for elm. What awful stuff. I have OWB, so mostly just split enough to make it easy to load it. The Fiskars splitting maul is usually adequate. I usually cut 24-30" long. 10-12 cord a year.

@@HometownAcres Well, I don't split most of it. If it can easily be wrangled into the OWB, it goes in whole. Only stuff 10" round and bigger gets split. I have folding steel crates that are very roughly 2.5 by 3.5 by 4.5. They hold .25-.3 cord. I burn an average of 2 crates a week, starting the end of September and usually through April. This is any wood I cut while clearing fence - Boxelder, Mulberry, Black Walnut, Hickory, buckthorn, pin oak, burr oak, whatever my saw touches. My OWB is a wood gasifier and is very efficient. Hardly any ash comes out. The house, on the other hand, is about as good as a corn crib. It is a farmhouse built in 1929, we've worked at making it more efficient, but it'll take a lot more.
