Thanks Andrew for a great review of one of your machines, also the reasoning for buying a quality built commercial machine to begin with and stop loosing money from the start. Stay safe and keep up the quality work and videos you share. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻✋🏻✋🏻
Easton made is definitely the Duesenberg of the firewood industry. I reckon if you made a log table with a 30-inch hydraulic saw which drops the rounds onto a roller deck going to the splitter that would be the go , all powered from the splitter. You could cut a log , then split it all done by one person if desired or 2/3 people at full speed
I went with a commercial machine for the speed and durability. I started splitting by hand, then I got a harbor freight splitter. It was a dual direction splitter. The cylinder ran inside of the beam. The cylinder had round stock welded to it for the friction points. After about 50 cords it had noticeable wear. It would have probably gone 200 cord before it gave a problem but I wanted something faster so that was when I upgraded. In reality though, that little harbor freight splitter would have lasted a homeowner a lifetime. Another downfall to it was wood chips and bark would build up in the beam and it would have to be cleaned which took a half an hour to do. It needed to be done every 6-8 cords.
Andrew, you forgot the best reason! “That you will deliver on your promise of providing the best splitter on the market, using the best materials, to provide years of reliable service without concerns for continual repairs!” That was good enough for my wife to choose your product, and me too.
Reason number #6. Your budget. Purchased a Ruggedmade 37 Ton to get started. Wish I could have bought an Eastonmade. Honestly after shipping , not sure on taxes and your attachments, could be looking at almost 14k ? I would have to sell 56 cords of wood at $250 a cord to break even. 7168 cubic feet of wood. Good investment for a big time commercial operation or a homeowner with serious bank. I did try and find a used one with know luck. lol
I’d like to see a basic setup video for swapping between the box wedge and a regular 4 or 6 way. I would probably be interested in running both but I’m not sure how reasonable it is to swap out back and forth with potentially heavy components.
All completely valid good points for a commercial operation. Hard to justify it when it comes to non-commercial because the workflow is only as good as the weakest link and every other link is likely to be weak compared to a commercial grade splitter unless the person upgrades everything else so the additional handling mechanization costs are going to be significantly more. Look no further than The Morgans, who had to change the entire operation to fit around the commercial splitter. The other drawback (although the box wedge splitter may be an exception) is scrap and waste. That's the cost of doing business with 4 or more way wedges but if you're just one guy, that's an additional handling and cleanup and separation task that takes a fair bit of additional timel unless it all just gets lumped together, which is going to lower the perceived quality to any customer, as they will soon be asking themselves what's all this extra crap in with the firewood?! Solve those two problems for me and I'll take the plunge!
I've researched timberwolf and wolf ridge splitters and these Eastonmade splitters are definitely better in every way! Way more bang for your buck and well thought out for build specs.
Useing a surge master at the moment considering your machine for next season been cutting wood for ourselves parents and grandparents house for a while decided to start selling this year, been selling for a month and have done about 13 cord of wood allready going to have to replace the little one for something if your caliber of machine before next fall that is for sure will be considering your machine for sure.can spilt a cord in little over an hour however I’m running and can’t keep that pace all day.
We have the Wolfe Ridge 28 Pro and one of the biggest things for us is the log lift. I know several guys who have thrown out their backs because of lifting big blocks on their splitters. Throw out back=doctor visit=medical bills=possibly missing work. They are well worth the money in opinion.

Eastonmade Wood Splitters I totally agree on the box wedge. I live about 10 miles south of the Des Moines metro, so would be ideal package to process the larger pieces. I also have a 32 inch buzz saw for the little stuff. The 24 inch opening on the splitter is ideal.
Neither do I but I'm 65 and getting lazy .I'll upgrade to a 22 28 box and log lift to save my body ,enjoy my hobby and have a retirement asset outside wall street.see you in Burlington Oct 5 .how would we do business? Credit card bank check. I don't do online
What is the smallest machine that I can get a box wedge and lift on? Need to plan out the right thing so I can finagle a way to get the wife to help. Auto cycle looks like a godsend.
We are a couple of days behind on emails. Send one to me with your phone number and ill have someone give you a call andrew@eastonmadewoodsplitters.com
Great video, I am actively looking for a log splitter. We have a dr kinetic splitter now that is fine for our 5acre property and works surprisingly well BUT, the wife and I just picked up 100 acres in N Idaho we are going to retire on. I plan on heating my shop and home with wood. I figure 6-8 cords a year for us and another 6-8 cords for my father in law. I need a much more substantial splitter. If I ended up splitting say 20 cords a year which machine would you recommend? The 5-11 and the 9-16 seem like they would more then meet my need. I may even try to sell a little wood on the side. We will mostly be splitting Red Fir and Tamarack/Larch. Excuse my ignorance but what do the designation 5-11 and 9-16 represent?

Agree totally the 12-22 is an incredible machine. Definitely need a conveyor now to keep up n keep the unit from getting buried with wood.
Thanks for the feedback shawn!!!
I'd love to own that machine behind 1 day. Love the logo on the pull back arm 👍🏽
Thanks for the feedback. It is very much appreciated
Hey Andrew
We love the 12 22 not sure how many cord we have put through but we are well over 2000 cord.
The time we save is unreal.
Getter done

I'll try and do that in the next couple of weeks john. You can do it...but it's either a 2 man job for the box wedge or a machine
I would appreciate seeing how you swap between the various wedges as well.
@@pf3516 there was a video they did swapping out wedges, though I can’t remember the title.

Yup....Makes perfect sense to me as well! But I'm the only one doing all the work🙄One more person to convince as well as the bank I guess😉
Lol I hear ya.
Reason #6 Because I want one!!
As good of a reason as any I guess!!!

Jesse Bodey I have been doing the same thing and had the exact same thought. Hoping to purchase a 5-11 this year.
Looking forward to getting my 12-22

Hey Andrew,
Thanks for the videos. When you say 2-3 cord an hour, are you referring to whole cords (4x4x8) or face cords?
Whole cords
You cant buy time ask anyone who is dying. How much is your time worth that's why I bought one of these splitters
Andrew I watch the videos of you all the time.i will be getting one soon.ive got Gerry number, 12_22.
What is the ideal size length of block these machines can handle? I love the features your machines have. I hope to own one, soon. 🤠👍
Standard length is 23" (24" opening) we also do a custom length if need be
Eastonmade Wood Splitters I normally do a 16-18 inch log. We have mature timber on nearly 60 acres.
@@craigmilligan616 if you have big stuff the box wedge is the way to fly

@@craigmilligan616 that would be great setup
How big rounds will the box wedge can handle
Up to around 30" without having to screw around to much
Don't own a fire wood business but I can't see myself dropping 10k for that 12-22 especially with that box wedge.
They do make life a lot simpler that for sure!!!
the wood doesn't dry well if it is bigger split diameter.
@@jessebodey9421 smaller pieces do dry a lot quicker

Auto cycle looks like a godsend.
The autocycle is worth its weight in gold!!! The smallest machine we do with the box wedge is the 5-11.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters can that come with auto cycle?
I have emailed you guys a few days ago and have not heard anything back from anyone
We are a couple of days behind on emails. Send one to me with your phone number and ill have someone give you a call andrew@eastonmadewoodsplitters.com
I have done it that way the other day
@cookie dough0814 i asked you to leave me your number. You sent me an email about our store not working.
I want 2 of then
Thanks for the feedback lance
Heres the number 1 reason they dont......$18800 price tag!
Cords per hour for a 12-22 with 20” wood?
From what I've seen and researched it looks like 2-3
Around 2.....3 in good wood/conditions. Hardest part is moving the wood
I’ll be getting one this august Andrew. For sure.
@@ryanwebb9099 sounds good ryan. If you're looking for one this fall order it sooner rather than later. We are booking into august right now
How much to Vancouver Island?? I want one 👌
I think around $2000
My question is when do they go on sale haha!
Only at shows!!!!
We will try and catch ya at Richmond. I see the one in Bloomsburg Is canceled. That one would have been ideal!
@@brianhowell3179 ya it sucks that they cancelled bloomsburg. Look forward to meeting you!!!
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters ill see you at either the NY or VT show. need a small machine with the box on it. #1 Time.
@@danpiper1 sounds great!!
About what kind of throughput can you get out of a 5-11 with auto return and a box wedge and how do your machines handle knotty spruce. Thanks.
Np with spruce. Could expect a 1- 1 1/2 cord per hour comfortably
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters Thanks.
I think we'll get a 22 or 28 this year. Is there a shipping cost if we meet up for it at the bunyan show?
No shipping cost. You'll love it!!!

Hi! How can I buy one of this in Romania, Europe?
We havent ever shipped to europe. If you can get it there we can box it up.
I dont see this one on your site?
This is the 12-22
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters OK so $10K for this one that splits and then pulls the log back by it self and splits again.
