Cute. Tire kicker and Wood chucker
I love it your teaching the little ones 😍 herb Baker
This is so cute having your boys to help you with the firewood. Eastonmade 12- 22 is a awesome machine you can't go wrong.
Its a lot of fun having them around. Great to hear from you deb
good
I found that if you shut the tractor off and toggle the the third function to release the pressure that helps a lot. And making sure the implement is relaxed when it’s disconnected
i am lookin at buyin a good log splitter ...your log splitter are th best i v seen so well don ..i live in ireland
You make a very well build machine that most companies can not compare to only a few out there in the same league. Thanks for the videos and keep the kiddos out there with you it’s nice to see a father teaching his children work ethic
Thanks for the feedback and support andrew. Really appreciate it
Hi Andrew, Just wanted to say hello and wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. The boys are really getting big! Hope Santa is going to treat you all well. 😊 I've had my 12-22 for two and a half years now. I only produce firewood for my home. To me, the 12-22 is fantastic! Only problem is I quickly run out of stuff to split! lol. My 4-way is the taller version that serves as a single, if you drop it down for those big knarly rounds. Take care! Shalom/gw
Ours is on order hoping spring of 23
All your machines are great, and the auto cycle both ways is a wonderful feature
Thanks for the feedback and support steve. Really appreciate it.
Hint: Turn the tractor off! Then release the pressure on all the hydraulic control valves/cylinders. The disconnects will slide right in.
Andrew Easton designs and builds great splitters and still has time to be a great dad.. Well done! 👍🏻
Thanks for the feedback and support eric. The good help I have allows me to take the time.
I love watching that saw cut
That's for the support adam
Thanks adam!!!
Andrew very impressive machine that 12-22. You were really tearing through those rounds I can’t see a situation where that machine couldn’t do everything I need. Take care brother.
Thanks for the feedback and support ben. Really appreciate it
Is it just me or are the cycle speeds faster?love the helpers that will remember working with you their entire lives! What a great legacy you are building with them!
I think it would probably seem faster just because of the 4 way wedge. I've got some pretty good helpers. Really appreciate all the feedback and support
Andrew, I LOVE your splitters. What I like even more is that you have your fine young lads with you in this video. They are a true gift in life. Don't work so much that you miss them growing up. I have heard about several older men breaking down in tears from working too much and missing their children younger lives. Please do not let it happen to you. I cannot imagine how busy that you must be with the splitters and processors and such. Anyway, thank you for making an older guy happy in seeing a father spend time with his boys. That right there is priceless! God bless you and your family Andrew. Tell your Mrs. that she has two wonderful little boys there. They are handsome lads. Probably take after momma ( just kidding ). Take care.
That's a nice pile of wood in a short time. You and the machine made it look effortless.
It didn't take long at all. Thanks for the feedback and support john. It's very much appreciated
I almost always have to shut my tractor off , turn the key back on and then hit the 3rd function buttons a couple times to relieve the pressure when I put my snowplow on. Easier and cleaner for me than cracking lines most times. Thankfully I don't have any trucks or equipment with emissions crap on it yet, but it'll be coming whether I like it or not
It will eventually happen. Bit of a pain but I'll get over it. I don't know why they don't have a pressure release on the third function like the skid steers. Thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback. Really appreciate it
agreed, cycle to the third function button with the engine off, key on, no need to crack the line.
Найкрашій дровокол в світі!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Моя мрія!!!
Adorable little helpers!! 😉❤
Good to see you working with the children. Great work ethic to learn early.
Thanks for the feedback steven. I have some great kids to work with. Really appreciate the support
Love seeing the kids enjoying the wood yard. Great point with the Autocycle, it is like having an extra guy. The 4 way is my go to on the 12-22.
The flying tail is pretty impressive as well. Or maybe the star of invincibility
Some of my fondest memories of time with Dad are doing the same sort of stuff your kids are doing. Amazing how seemingly little things stick in a kids mind and as a parent it might not seem a big deal at the time but you can't make an appointment for a special memory. A quiet discussion about super powers or a little time driving the tractor could be the memories and little life lessons they carry to help them be good people/parents someday. Good on ya!
Thanks for the kind words and support. Really appreciate it
Great Video Andrew good to see the boys are helping ! that's the perfect size wood for the 4 way the 12-22 really eats the wood up it is a really good machine I love mine ! I would HIGHLY recommend any one looking for a splitter to check this model out it never fails to impress
Thanks for all the feedback and support tim. Really appreciate it.
Hope the two young fellas are on the payroll! 😆Soon they will be running those machines without dad's help😉That 12-22 looks like the perfect setup with the 4-way wedge! I was actually picturing myself running that setup in my yard as I watched your video.........then my puppy came in and peed on my foot and woke me up! Well, someday. I better get myself out in the yard to cut and split some more. Impressive products Andrew! keep it up
I just ran the 5-11 with the 4-way wedge on some Elm, Andrew. Two thumbs up!! Here in Ontario, the big test for any splitter is how it handles the Elm. Really happy with it. Cheers and be safe!
Thanks for the feedback and support gord. Canf wait to see the video of it.
It's like a dream works like a dream
Great video! Good to see the young lads helping their dad. Reminds me of when I was young. The splitter sure goes through the wood as fast as you can bring it. Auto-cycle really does make a huge difference!
1st. 2nd 👍🏽. Time for full watch 🙂
That is one solid built fast machine
Those 12 22 are really nice Machines
Thanks wyatt. Really appreciate the feedback and support
I really wish I could afford that 12 22 hope in a couple of years I can
That was a great pile of wood at the end!
There was quite a bit there. Took longer to setup and move the camera around that it did to split it lol
Joe from Ohio Wood Burner will be calling.
Thanks for all the support c.b. really appreciate it
Awesome video as usual. Andrew you have taken your time and perfected a quality product. All your machines are definitely the best. Your dedication shows in each one that is built. Many blessings to you and your family. Hopefully before long I will be on the waiting list as well for my new machine
Thanks for all the feedback and support really appreciate. We try and do our best
Beautiful machine, I'd love to own one !!!! Good video bro thumbs 👍
I like how you use the log dog and don't put your hands in the danger zone
Thanks for all the feedback and support pierre. Reallya appreciate it
Got a link?
Another awesome video. Andrew is right that 4way and good wood and it’s hard to keep up with the machine.
Thanks for the feedback and support Mike. Really appreciate it
I just subscribed about 2 weeks ago , been binge watching your videos , it's cool to see all these guys from the states going crazy for a well built Canadian product like yours , make Canada proud buddy keep up the good work more and more guys are buying Easton made splitters
Thanks for the support really appreciate it. Will giver our best shot.
Doesn't matter where a man's from. If something is built well it deserves to be admired even if it's made in Canada ( just kidding you ). You are good folks.
Almost forgot. I use a big pair of channel locks to mate my hydraulic connectors.
Andrew, really like your Grand L. You will have less regens if you run that baby around at least 2600 rpm around the yard, and do not idle it to much. Works well with my Kioti. I usually get a passive regen occasionally, but can keep on going. Cheers
Hi Andrew,
Great video getting the kids involved. As you know, we use our 12-22 almost exclusively with the 4 way wedge for the various sizes of logs we get. We feel its the best all round design for not just cracking open the big pieces and handling the small single split pieces, but also for breaking down and splitting away soft centres, etc.
As for your issue with the couplers, I have the same ongoing issue with our 2007 CAT 257B2 skidsteer. This skidsteer does not have any pressure relief valves to make it easier putting on attachments. I find the issue is rarely the machine itself, its usually pressure in the lines on of the attachment. That pressure build up comes from one of two sources;
A. Lines were still pressurized when last detached.
B. Hydraulic lines are exposed to sunlight which will cause pressure to build in the lines.
Solutions I have are;
1. Before disconnecting an attachment, shut off the machine. On level ground, turn the ignition switch back on but do not start the machine, engage the hydraulic system (take it out of park mode), and then cycle the joysticks (or levers) through its motions of forward, backward, up down, etc. I usually see one of the lines on the attachment flex to show its depressurized. Should be alright after that.
2. Park the attachment in a shaded area, this will help with keeping the sun off of the hydraulic lines resulting in a build up of pressure in the lines. It's less of a concern on a cloudy day. And happens more often in the summer than in the winter as the colder temps in the winter will keep the pressure in check even while in full sun.
If you perform solution #1 and the hydraulic lines in the attachment pressurize, you have no choice but to crack open a line or two. Keep a rag handy to clean up the mess. :)
When we are processing firewood I often have to switch between the grapple attachment and the pallet forks. Depending on the time of day I park the grapple attachment wherever there is some shade. I owned a MF-1623 several years back and it had exposed hydraulic lines on the tractor itself like your tractor. I often found myself having to use solution #1 for the tractor as well, assuming it was because the exposed black hydraulic lines were heating up from the sun. Only had that problem in the summer.
Hope that helps.
Jim
Thanks for the help jim. Will give it a shot. Really appreciate the feedback and support
when you stop the Motor and switch the Valve you release the pressure in the connectors will release. That would be without oil on hands and the ground.
Suggestion to alleviate the pressure, shut the machine off and cycle your valve. It will keep you from having to use a wrench!
Ur a great dad! Miss the young yrs. Get them on the controls. Idk what best super power is. Mario 27 should have 2 powers at once loll. So I saw it go out n stop, didnt return...just 1 of those things. Very nice edit. Loved the part on the pusher! Wreck it! GoPro 7? Bad a** machine! BEST in the market!
Thanks for all the support. I think I missed the second lever for the autocycle. Thought the gopro might get it on that one.
I love my 12-22!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR CREATING THIS MAGNIFICENT MACHINE. SHALOM GW
I have one on order do you have 4 way 6 or box. What do you prefer or is 4 enough in your opinion
@@adventurerhoades I have a 4-way and a 6-way wedge. The one I use depends on the log diameter. But I think there is more scrap with the 6-way. BTW I have taken to putting a tarp under the catch table to collect the little pieces that fall off the splitter. It makes clean up easy. Shalom/gw
Hey, If you get the 4-way make sure its the "tall-boy". That way you can lower it and effectively have a single wedge. Andrew will know what I mean.
@@googleboy7 from what I've heard 6 way us best with 14-16 inch log. So sounds like I should maybe just get 4 way tall boy. I was wondering if you would prefer the box wedge over a 6 way also if it's really hard to change out
@@adventurerhoades The 6-way is heavy! I guess the tall 4-way would be best.
I always disconnect my hyd quick couplers as soon as I am done. That way the oil is hot and contracts as it cools off. Also park attachment in the shade in hot summer weather. Cold oil shrinks enough you can couple with out cracking lines. Works for me. And proves my theory every time I forget to do it.
Regents are a way to meet emissions, not the engine manufacturers choice, but they have been forced by EPA. The best thing to do is not idle the engine, and when using it make it work. Love giving my grandkids rides in tractors or fork lift etc. Stay safe my friend God Bless
This is true. Thanks for all the support gerry. Really appreciate it
I am probably going with a mccormick or Branson to get away from the dang emissions stuff. They are still mechanical so when parts fall off it doesn't throw codes. Oh and close the grapple down shut off tractor, cycle the valve, disconnect grapple. Connecting the lines together on the grapple when not in use helps too.
Will give it a try. Thanks for the help haven't heard of Brandon before. Will need to look them up. Really appreciate the support
I gotta say you make one of the best splitters around. I have been debating for a while now but I think it’s almost time to order one up to come home to Maine.
Thanks for the all the feedback and support russ. Its great to hear from you. Let me know when your ready
You have some good help today.
That's for sure. Thanks for the feedback and support bill. Really appreciate it
I dont burn wood or have a need for a splitter, but I love your videos. Keep it up, New subscriber!!!
Thanks for the feedback and support. Really appreciate it
things a beast ! ill own one someday lol
Your hilarious on the re-GEn lol
Lol thanks for the support. Really appreciate it.
Good lil helpers! Now it's cartoon time. Dad.
By the end they were ready for some cartoons. Thanks for the feedback ray and support ray. Really appreciate it
Next time try turning off the tractor, seems to help on my brother’s tractor. Relieve pressure easily.
Will give it a try steve. Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it
A conveyor also does the work of a man. It would be nice if there was a machine that would pick up rounds and put them on the splitter.
This is true. I have a handful of customers that have hopper that they dump the wood into. Appreciate all the support.
@9:40. What I found with my grapple, when I unhook I leave the jaws about 1/2 open. If I closed them all the way I would fight those dang flat face couplers. Give it a try. Let me know if it helps.
I will ray. Thanks for the help
I'll have to try that.
Green mushroom
Can't go wrong with the green mushroom lol. Thanks for the feedback
I hear ya, my LX3310 went into regeneration about every 16 hours for the first 290 hours. I am currently at 26 hours without one. Many of those were right at the end of a project. I wonder how much wasted fuel that is?
Great machine Andrew how’s it going buddy long time
Thank ben. Going great. Getting geared up for deer season now.
Next time you disconnect your grapple hydraulics, take the time to shut off the tractor release the pressure by moving your remote back and forth. Then you don't have to get the wrench out.
Very efficient! I can't wait to get an Eastonmade eventually and maybe the logox soon. Looks like the logox would be a back saver. How many cord per hour can you roughly average with this splitter and a 4 way?
Boiler wood 2 full cord and hour
ReGen seems to happen about three minutes before the end of the day... It would be great if the operator was given the choice to engage the ReGen.
It would be a lot more convenient for sure. Thanks for all the support David. I really appreciate it
There will be a day when a job will take LESS time with the boys helping than if you worked alone. But it won’t be as enjoyable.
I do believe that. They are pretty entertaining to have around. Really appreciate the feedback and support
2nd! Andrew, regen is a nightmare. We are having issues with our 3500 chevy for the fifth time because if the def system. I hate it so much. Anyways, great vid. By the way, is this the same machine that was in the previous video? Granted that's not bad looking wood, but it seems to handle it all like a champ.
Different machine. My gm hasn't been a very good truck so far. Lots of little stuff. Have had good luck with my dodge. Thanks for all the support really appreciate it
Man... I have been pretty sold on a new Wolfe Ridge splitter for awhile now... but now I'm just not so sure
Wont go wrong either way andrew. Appreciate the feedback and support
Hey,,make one that will split big blocks up to 3 foot ..whole block at once,, design a auto loader for no touch operation..then design a auto sorter and packer...V8 power it,like a small plant..there is a fortune to be made in this field..also design a stove to use it..I'm a retired engineer,and it's not that difficult to do..you're on the right track..the secret is,,make it simple and reasonable cost..
Lol sounds awesome. Check out some of our other videos. We can piece it together pretty easily
You probably said this before but where do you get those firewood bags?
Good evening. She just eats the wood.
Far as pressure staying in the lines. I'm wandering if the pressure relief is restricted? Malfunctioning?
I've been in the shop 6 times this year for the 2012 T800 with a ISX 485 Cummins, regen,doc,burn off injector, exhaust filter burned completely out. Oh yeah I haul Propane, Butane and Anhydrous Ammonia. 1st 2 products don't play nice with fire.
I know of a lot of guys that have a hard time with the big trucks. Hard making money when it sits in the shop. Really appreciate the support michael.
Is it possible to make a 12-22 or 22-28 with the ability to put the log lift system on either side of the splitter "on the fly" with some quick/basic disassembly? Would it require dual hydraulic cylinders or could one cylinder be swapped from side to side?
It could be down. I don't see an huge advantage to it myself, but then again everyone's application is different.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters I split wood for customers throughout the year. Often they have a pile of rounds that need to be processed, and sometimes space is tight (driveways and such). I’ve had to do a lot of rolling big heavy rounds in the past because my log lift (Timberwolf) is on the wrong side, where being able to swap sides would have saved a lot of labor. Being able to swap towing ends on your splitters would probably help half the occasions, but I know there would come a time when I wished I could swap sides.
Nice machine we need something like these in New Zealand if you interested in cornering the asia pacific market let me know and i will demonstrate them in New Zealand and Australia market and split timber at the same time??😊😊😊👍👍🤣😂
You guys need them for sure. If I could find someone that wanted to import them in would be all for it. Thanks for the feedback and support. Really appreciate it
How have you got your marker for length of wood attached to saw. Would like to know
We still on for March?? I can take anytime
Yep I think we are only off our schedule a couple of weeks and gaining on it right now
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters hammer down... did you fix my phone number on my account. Just don't want you guys calling wrong number
I'm on the fence on buying this model. It comes with a 6 way wedge, can you swap for the 4 way? Also, could you raise the 6 way and make it a 4 way split or a 2 way split?
Yes you can swap the 6 for a 4 way. Both wedges move up far enough to make a single split (the wings on the 4 way will also lay flat) the 6 way can do a 4 way split or a single comfortably
Does the 12-22 come with the 4 way and the 6 way sir
Hi,my name is Ed from Ohio. How much does the 12 22 like in the video with auto cycle cost
$10,000 the way its setup
I drive a motorcoah and the big diesel engines in there scream like a banshee at 1500 rpm when doing a regen. However that beats the other option of having your engine derate on you at the most inconvenient time. Looks like the youngsters enjoyed riding in the tractor and helping dad out with loading the firewood in the bag.
Thanks for all the support. Really appreciate it.
Hey love your videos! I know you must be swamped, but I have left four messages, and an email, and was hoping to get an update on my splitter. Any suggestions, don't mean to be a pain.
Will get you an update on monday morning chip and have someone give you a ring.
What’s the difference between 12-22 and the 9-16?
The 12-22 has a little faster cycle time, and has more standard features that are options on the 9-16. Other than that they are the same machine.
I bought a 2007, so I don't have to regen! Tell me how that saves emissions to run a tractor doing nothing!
What kind of hook are you using?
log rite pickaroon
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters What lenght?
What kind of grapple is that on that machine?
What’s your saw? 372xp?
Yes

Is it true that the Galtech valves are no made in India instead of Minnesota?
They havent ever been made in minnesota. They are italian
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters oh. I watched a video from Wolfe Ridge and he made that statement. That’s for clarification! Can’t wait for my splitter to arrive! Production getting faster I hope!
@@Lakecenterlawncare i think hes been having a hard time with them. It took us a lot of screwing around to get the right combination of parts for them. We hardly ever touch one after they leave.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters I knew you had a lot more experience with the Galtech valves. Thanks!
It’s not that big of a deal when chipping or brush hogging but yes it seems to come when u don’t want it and as far as I’m concerned it’s making more pollution than saving
I think so to harlow. I can't see it being that much better for the environment overall. However I am no expert. Thanks for the feedback
You have a problem you shouldnt have to loosen fittings
how much is this one andrew?

Is the auto cycle necessary with a box wedge installed? Seems like its better to have it and not need it rather than needing it and not having it.
No not neccesarily. A lot of the time running a box wedge the operator is standing right there to recycle the piece of wood. Where it comes in handy is for the last piece. You can cycle it through while your grabbing your next block. Thanks for the comment. Really appreciate it
Do you need help with fabrication of parts?
No not right now. Appreciate the offer
Try to remember that regen is to save the planet. High rpm for extended period of time to clean the carbon out of fine exhaust filter. Makes perfect sense if you think about it.
Yeah and luckily if it doesn't work right you have to do it again.
Thanks for the feedback Marc. I really appreciate it
