Neighbors helping neighbors, the world needs more of that.
I agree that neighbours helping each other. What I would’ve done is collect all the last season wood together in one heap then put fresh wood together instead of mixing the firewood
I thought so in my younger days, but the older I get the more I realize people only do things for something in return. they pretend it's just good graces, and maybe I'm autistic, but I wish people would just communicate what they want.
Maybe the generations before did them dirty before they died, but I'm not playing the game.
@@macmccune21lmao you aren’t autistic that’s normal. I would absolutely help a neighbor and not ask for anything in return as it should be.
But I actually might be autistic too though since I have a lot of symptoms.
Must be nice to be young and able to do that much in a day..😁 cool look going down the driveway!
I also found another Stihl chainsaw mine is faster than besides yours haha 😂
Doug, don't be upset that you weren't invited. Adam doesn't want to burn you out! Lol
And... Dude, you ain't old!!!
@@HometownAcres we need to settle this off camera. Lol, gotta sharpen mine first!!
If Adam isn't going to use the Crotch Guard, he should at least wear a cup. 🤣
Every time that I see the Axis in action, I am more impressed. Good job Adam, helping a buddy.
Helping a friend or neighbor is one of the best things any one can do . Great job
Love the unspoken teamwork, just two dudes getting the job done!
When I drive my quad by mikes I saw you guy cutting up the wood very nice of you to help him
Something very therapeutic about watching someone make and stack firewood.
Good on, For Helping your Mate out
great job on helping your buddy out!
That stash is the most beautiful sculptural installation I've ever seen! Only truly appreciated by those who know how integral a well stocked pile is to life in the mountains.
Watching this wood being split sooths my soul I love chopping wood , you have a good bit of gear God Bless you cheers 💪💪👍👍🙏🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸
It always amazes me how fast the firewood piles up from big wood. Great job.
Nice work. Two things I was taught by my father and grandfather when I was more of a hindrance than a help… First: when you start out lay two smaller logs alongside each other and lay the logs you are cutting in the valley. That way you can cut right through without ever hitting the dirt. And Second, never pile firewood over your head. You might be healthy and feeling good when you stack it but you may not be when you use it or the wifey might have to get it because of unforeseen circumstances and pulling a chunk of firewood onto your noggin ain’t no fun… even less fun if she is the one getting clobbered by it.
You and your neighbors really stick together. Helping each other out. Very cool! The way it should be.
You definitely had the right equipment for that big job. Nicely done! 👍👍
thank you sir ! asks of kindness are priceless
Good job being a great neighbor. The wood stack paths look nice.
Those were some wide bases to those trees! Old growth! That splitting sound!
I was impressed not only with the splitter but, the chainsaw as well. Both did an amazing job!
You Adam are an astounding friend to this gentleman. I imagine he had tears in his eyes when it was done. See you in the next installment.
Really nice thing to do helping your neighbor. He didn’t slack off as I am sure he appreciates your time and effort. That EastonMade is a Beast!
I like the way he stacks the wood between the trees. Clever...
You are Neighbor Adam, 😍 & you're an incredible neighbor to do all that for your friend. Your tractor did an amazing job of picking up those gigantic logs!!! Great video, as always!! God bless you and your family! 💖
Thank Dianne!
The more people we help and get hooked on saying how much they like burning wood and how much money it saves them is a good thing for all of us sellers. This friend of yours definitely will spread the word now.
That looks like how I got started in selling a little firewood. I quickly realized I had split way too much for myself and before I could burn it all, it was probably going to start rotting on me. So, I split it again, smaller, to sell off my overstock. Axis did a great job. so nice having a log lift and a quick cycle time. I use a splitter that connects to my tractors 3pt hitch and hydraulics, no lift and very slow. 🥵
Walls of wood look really cool. Splitter is a beast.
I got tired just watching you do all that work. Well done.
BUDDY!!!???? Hell, that's life long friends labor there. LOL great job
Where was this device back in the 60’s when I was a kid. I used a 5 lb slug hammer and a wedge along with a bow saw
It nice to help out neighbor. I got ideal maybe he should put some woodpallet under the spit wood to keep it off the wet ground at winter time
Adam, you're a great friend for helping your buddy out like that, especially considering that you took all of YOUR equipment over to his house to help him. Kudos to you! I sure like the look of the "firewood walls" that he's got on each side of his driveway. I personally don't store firewood like that, I use IBC totes for practicality and ease of moving them around. But I sure like the look of those massive firewood walls that he's got!
That splitter is awesome!!! I have a BUNCH of 12’ long 5-6 ‘ round logs I had dropped off from a buddy, mostly maple, it’s so hard by myself but I’m working my way through them!!!! Lol
Great video, Adam. You and your friend got a heck of a workout, the axis got a heck of a workout, and the Kioti got a heck of a workout. This video proves to me, once again, that the axis is the ultimate log splitter.
That’s a lot of nicely stacked firewood. And Working with a friend is always enjoyable.
I like the firewood going down the driveway. It’s a cool look on the approach of the house. I hope he gets to the “old” firewood on the bottom before it rots!
Right, needs to get some pallets or at least some scrap lumber to prop them up off the ground a bit.
Unless of course he is just using the bottom rounds as a buffer and never intends on burning those
Impressive! The Eastonmade really shined on this job. Not many splitters could handle 34" rounds and the log lift didn't flinch. Also as a fellow Kioti owner (although much smaller CS series) you tractor moved the stumps. Great video Adam and you are truly a good friend to your buddy. Keep up the good work.
That's a lot of firewood! 😊
I don't do this kind of thing but, I learned a few things today just watching. Thanks
That looked like a lot of work! I like how the wood stacks look in the yard!
Hi Adam, great job helping out a friend. The Axis and the Kioti, awesome equipment, and a dream to work with i can imagine. Greetings from Belgium
Love this kind of you tubes!!!
Fun to watch. That ash skirted the limits of that Eastonmade. Gives us a good idea what that splitter can do.
There is somthing about the sound of wood splitting just feels like a compliment
It was very nice of you to help someone in need.
Some serious bucking and splitting ! Nice setup , nice to have friends ! 👍
You two work so well together in sync as they say.
That's a lot of warm winter nights in that wood pile!
Lovely days work boys 👍
Gotta take off the Crotch Protector for that stuff! Good neighbor! Lotta split wood!
That log splitter is one powerful tool.
Great assist from a good friend! Just wish you guys would wear your PPE. Thanks!
That machine has some capacity, holy moly
if I tried stacking that way in NW Oregon, it'd be a battle to keep the weeds, and blackberry in particular off of the wood.
I’m impressed with the side by side load ability
Nice of you to help your buddy out :) That splitter sure eats up them big ones & not much bending over, Very nice great video !
Nice job, Neighbor Adam. That was a great commercial for the Axis. That lift on the side looks like it wouldn't be super strong. Those huge pieces of Ash proved me wrong. It brought those up no problem. The ability to split it without hesitation too, was very impressive. Nice job getting so much work done. I bet you were sore for a couple days after.
Ooh. The new sommer collection of chainsaw gear!! You big fools!!😅😅😅
hi that eastonmade is a amazing machine the way it gos through them big logs with no problems
Your a good man!
You Sir are a good friend!
We always humped it out by hand. Never used a lot splitter til the year dad died. We cut two trucks of wood in about three hours. I was MAD because of what we could have done, but am fearful for all the time we had together. But definitely will have the right equipment next time!
Not fearful, greatful! Stupid autocorrect.
Big rounds, splitter made quick work of them! Nice work.
Hi from the Netherlands. That Eastonmade is a real manly stanley. Top class handling too. Love it.
That's a lot of wood. When a person comes to help. You work twice as hard as normal. Or try to do 2 moves to their 1. Good on you Adam.
Great video Adam. The Eastonmade Axis just eats what ever you throw at it.
Cool awesome log splitter you got there fun video to watch also 👍🏽
Nice that been lot work with box store splitter
Good to have friends with tools!
Adam you and Doug also the rest of the wood 🪵 hound community are there for each other ❤makes the world a better place 😊
Good job helping your friend with splitting his firewood
That splitter is very impressive. Thanks for the good videos
Where are you all living where he needs that much wood? Is for heating, Cooking Power or all of the above. Nice job, cool splitter
Do not know if this will help but it can not hurt is if you spray some Silicon Spray onto the Bed of the Splitter and that way it should make those big Logs slide easier, give it a go and see how or if it works.
Nice job! Thanks for helping your friend. KC Don 😉
What a workout. All of the equipment seemed to meet the challenge.
Wow, I've split firewood, but not that HUGE. That wood splitter showed that ASH who's boss !! That machine works like butter. Amazing how much wood you cut for your friend. That's got to be at least if not more than 10 or 15 cords? We cut wood up North here in Montreal for heating.
Haha I think you must be the only accountant people actually like!!!
Lol
Holy shit you guys banging that out. I just got back from Maine took my big box 30 ton up to my buddies house and split a load of beech horrible wood super stringy. Hopefully it burns hot. Your neighbor had some nasty stuff.
This was a VERY SATISFYING video to watch ty Sir 😎🍺🍺
Pretty big stuff to split but that machine is awesome.He needs a woodshed.Greetings from Alberta
Adam, on those gains rounds you needed Chris from in the woodyards 3210 Husqvarna with hie 60" bar!!!! Lol. Great days work. The axis is aback saver. You guys have a great day
I have heated old houses,, I have heated new houses. NOT applicable in this case,, but something to consider. Insulation. Two methods on newer homes. One,, fiberglass is cheap. Fiberglass is so much cheaper than natural gas, wood,,, I have built 12 homes, two of which were for me,, wall framing based upon a 2X10, 9.25 inches on the frame. By the time sheathing, siding , interior,, works out to one foot thick. Hell, you can heat it with a match. You would need 1/3 of that amount of firewood. I know, because I HAVE been there and done that. Second method,, only practical if you are going to replace your windows,, because windows often need the whole house replacement,, and that is the time to make a major change. Strip the exterior to its tar paper or Tyvek. How thick you want to add should be according to your local climate, but the easy addition is 1.5 inches. (2 and 3 inches are just as easy) Tack, nail, screw a 2X3 on the flat (or on edge if you are going for 2.5 inches) around each window and door and on each corner, use a 2X3 in one direction and a 2X4 in the other to give yourself a good stable, straight corner. Nail on top and bottom perimeters. Then go to the center of the wall or any convenient start point,, for an 8 foot tall wall use a 12 foot,,or 10 foot 2X3 nail it on the diagonal formed between the top and bottom perimeters. Take a 24' or 16' wide X 4 or 8 foot long sheet of foam,, your choice of expanded, extruded, poly , or urethane, install above and below that first diagonal purlin, add the next two 2X3s, add the next foam,, etc. custom cuts top and bottom at at the doors and windows. Squirt some canned spray foam in any voids. Apply new windows to the new wall depth, and side as you like. Treat the house once. Expensive, yes, but the labour for treating the house once will be in the same range as cutting and splitting and stacking for just one heating season. But then, after, you need much less firewood for the rest of your life. The greatest single wrong we do when building a house is making thin 4 inch thick walls. They are good enough to hold up the roof, but they absolutely suck (heat) at insulating the house.
Good man, Adam. He needs some pallets. That bottom row is going to be mushy by next winter.
I like when you use the side by side to move Firewood I like those videos
Luvly stockpile indeed!💥💥🍺💪💪💪👍
The efficiency of the Axis is shown how you can make multiple cuts then rotate your piece 90° and make more cuts. This machine is far more efficient than any other than I see on CZcams. This is a great advertisement for the Axis.
A friend in need is a friend in deed !,
Big wood like that is a lot of work even with the proper equipment. I think I would have been sliding Doug's Ball Buddy back in there after breaking those big ash rounds down. Things looked a little sketchy on a few of those splits and I'm not sure if your outstretched arms would have saved you if one of them kicked back on you. Great work and always nice to help a friend out. Dav
Nice work
That wood must be good to go by now.
Helping hands 🙌 some one gave you those to help someone out along the way
That machine is cool af
ADAM, great video! What a guy!
Great test. I’m sold on the Axis.
I do believe the Easton made is unstoppable
Interesting. I would split the wood where it will be stacked so I wouldn't have to stack the wood twice; one in the side-by-side and again on the wood pile. Impressive work on those ash logs.
Great video, great act of kindness and/or friendship, very nice demonstration of efficient use of equipment, but, and yes there is a ''but'', guys do not wait for the nasty bite of the chainsaw to maim you for life. Chaps, work boots and eye and ear protection as a minimum.
Wow that’s a lot of work especially for one day but great job , does buddy cover his wood ? I am a subscriber , your videos have been very helpful plus no vulgarity so I can forward them to kids , family , friends , whoever , thank you & God Bless .
wonder if steel rollers would help on the deck of your splitter. simple roller bars may make it easy to move big pieces around
