Thanks for adding this

Haha thanks Fred. It was a really fun collaboration. Was really happy to be invited to partake

That’s great to hear. I stand by that recommendation of a box wedge and a 4 way. You will be blown away when you start breaking her in

Not sure how your going to store the wood but if your splitting yourself think about a conveyer. I own a 12-22 with a box wedge and it's very efficient. Makes a lot of waste in the form of kindling but it's quite the machine. My wood buddy has a skidy with a Klaw (for rounding up) and bought a old conveyer, what a blessing if you just trying to cush a pile of rounds. It will work you out due to its fast cycle time if your attempting to always keep it splitting. I'm going to be looking into a dump trailer in the next few years. Coupled with a conveyer it will take care of business. God bless the guy trying to keep up with stacking what comes off the out feed table.

would eyed13 haha I have a video coming up where I have a 40 foot row of rounds stacked as a wall. I’m just gonna run the splitter right down the row leaving a trail of splits right behind as I inch the splitter down the row. Stacking it is gonna be a pain. It’s probably 3 cords worth of wood

2 guys 6.5 hours today, Tha pile is over 12' tall and 16' or more across. Has to be 5-6 cords. We had to fix the conveyer twice due to jams but it was still worth it, so much easier to get rid of splits. Not really a wood elevator but it's working. This was our first long hard run with the conveyer, it makes a difference. For my own wood I split into 4x4x4 custom made crates. It's slower becaue I"m stacking as I split but ready to transport and with a lid on it ready to burn in a year. A mobile 1/2 cord woodshed and is pallet jackable on a hard surface. I put way to much thought into firewood but it's a great reason to enjoy cooler weather while warming the house.

Congrats on the move. How far north are you? I’m in N. ID too.

Yeah I think the auto cycle is probably my favorite feature

Thanks GP. I loved the spray painted 4 ft line on yours haha

Hope you enjoy the playlist

Hometown Acres definitely will

Thanks for the feedback Chris

Yep that’ll be next. Box wedge and red oak rounds. Thanks Ben.

Thanks mark. And it sure is. One heck of a piece of equipment. I’m gonna do a 2nd entry with the box wedge

Thanks Hank

Make it happen

I don't know, Mike Morgan runs a Wolf Ridge which seems pretty impressive also. Would love to own either one.

Just wait til I do the box wedge video. It’s much more impressive

The 4 way wedge would be perfect for you then. It’s great at boiler wood. Thanks for watching

Hope it was worth the wait

They are built about as heavy duty as you can make em.

Yeah I’m in the middle of production for campfire wood

Thanks Buddy. I’d really like to get our 2 splitters side by side sometime haha. Too bad we’re probably a good 12 hour drive from eachother

Yeah I’m in campfire wood production right now which needs to be split smaller. Probably would have taken less than 10 minutes if I just split everything once

Thanks Dave. Checkout the playlist at the end. All the other videos are located therep

Thanks for the comment. I’m gonna try to make it to Bunyan this year

Thanks Wayne

Thanks for joining. And yes. Great company run by great people. Customer service is the best I’ve ever experienced. They send you whatever you need the next day

Thank you! You as well

Thanks for inviting me Roger. This was a great idea!

Haha great emojis. Thanks for the feedback. Take care

Yeah. I’m splitting small because I’m going to sell this wood as camp fire wood. 4x4x16 would take too long to dry for this summer/fall sales. Normally wood that I split for my myself is atleast that big or bigger for my wood stove.

Wait til I do my 2nd entry with the box wedge

Yeah I was pretty impressed with Joes box wedge. I’m gonna do a 2nd video with the box wedge on the Eastonmade and see how it compares

It’s easy enough to stop. Just pull both handles back. It’s no more dangerous than one without auto cycle. I usually only use the auto cycle when I’m walking away from the splitter to grab another log. If I’m standing there I keep my hand on the lever

Thanks Scheib

Hometown Acres n/p bud I just put my version of splitter wars out if you want to check it out I think I may have done over 1/3 cord though lol I have a six way also but like you said it is great with pieces that are 8-12 inches unless your doing boiler wood then the bigger the better lol.

ahh darn. Thanks I’ll fix it now

Thanks Kevin

Haha yeah I agree. The crab thing is pretty sweet and I would have found that useful on multiple occasions repositioning some bigger logs once they are on the table

You should see the box wedge that fits on this thing. I’ve got some videos on it. It’s way better than the 6 way wedge

Thanks Dave

Thanks

Your welcome. Thank you and the others for the demos of home made and factory splitters. I really like how you can change the blades up and down or remove and add blades . God Bless you and your family, and its my first time watching what a great group of people and there wives helping to make it all come together . Take care brother

Thanks Guys. I spent a little extra time splitting the wood smaller. If I just ran everything through 1 time I probably woulda been done in like 8 minutes haha

@@HometownAcres lol yep for sure. I thought you did a great job!!!!

Definitely a good representation of your product👍🏼. Love the AutoSplit Feature👌🏼. Blessings!

@@sawsurgeon thanks!!!

I did a whole video on this topic. It’s called “this log splitter pays for itself in 2 days”. Covers a lot of what you are asking

Yes you could. It’s just easier for me with long arms to be out of the way. If I was working by myself I would have been on the other side

Yeah if I just ran each piece through 1 time I probably would have been done in like 8 minutes lol

I haven’t made it yet. I’ll probably work on that this week and have it uploaded by the weekend

What kind of splitter do you have?

@@HometownAcres I have a 22 ton something or another. I do like my axe. I have a few vids. I subbed. Correction my splitter is a quality farm fleet splitters. 17 years old with some modifications.

Nobody else seemed to have a problem with the format and layout of the video

It makes working with firewood almost like a desk job haha. Key word almost

@@HometownAcres haha you got that right

Thanks for the great videos! I spent years on KZfaq looking at splitter videos these past few years has had really great content for everyone!

Glad you’re enjoying it. Make sure to let me know if anything is getting stale. Last thing I want is for the channel to get old.

Oh yeah. Can’t wait to do the box wedge version

Yeah. I have always said if you only cut and split for yourself this splitter is overkill. But if you want to heat with wood and sell some on the side this is a great splitter for that. That’s my use for it. Last year I burned 5 cords and sold 5. I’m hoping to sell about 20 cords this year

@@HometownAcres Wow ....at my Son in-laws place they do 55 face cords a year but they heat the milk house....the garage and the big farmhouse....they have an outside furnace and they have the dual-direction spliter...stand alone....they just got it this year and they love it....I`ll be checking more of your videos....CHEERS

That is a lot of fuel to heat all that haha. 55 face cords is about about 20 full cords so that’s on par with what I’m hoping to do this year

@@HometownAcres This is in Northern Ontario and the winter is long and cold and the old farmhouse is not built to the new standards of insulation....All the places they heat are sub-standard but they had all kind of wood in yesteryear....they still have lots of wood that they could cut to heat but milking is the main business and there is no time left so they buy the wood...time is money...take your pick but I think they're still lucky to have that option if thing go bad....CHEERS

Prices are always changing. Check out Eastonmade’s website for current pricing

Yeah I probably would have been done in less than 10 minutes. However any job worth doing is worth doing right so I wanted to make sure the splits were small enough for me to sell as campfire wood

I don’t believe they have dealers. They just have their shop in Perth Ontario but I believe they ship all over

Indeed

I’d like to see Buckin Billy Ray participate. That would be cool

We actually have a brute force grapple and firewood bundler

@@HometownAcres how do you like them?

Yeah but $20. You can’t beat that

Yep that’s what I said at the end of the video

A pile 4*4*8 feet

Neat and stacked tightly.

@@dethmaul thanks for letting me know

What is a biotec box splitter. I just did a google search and didn’t find anything
