I don't think anyone could ever go wrong buying one of your machines absolutely great products
Thanks for the feedback and support. Really appreciate it.
I can personally vouch for the 22-28 I talked to Andrew and told him I owned a tree service and bring back a lot of massive nasty gnarly residential wood. He said the 22-28 was the way to go. And it is the way to go for that kind of wood. It is a production monster that can keep up with 2 guys with no problem. I can take logs that would normally go into a tub grinder and make firewood out of it. It does not care. Yes you will finds it's limits like any other machine but I can tell anyone looking into the 22-28 that there is no other splitter available in the industry that compares to it or the service from Eastonmade.
Thanks for all the feedback and support mike. Really appreciate it
Roger l Ha, my ‘log burner’ does the same.
We upped revenue quite a bit by not chipping anything 3” or bigger. It all gets cut 18 and split before it hits the dump body. Chips get put in small truck or second load
I'm in the same boat and got out of the split wood game for a few years now I couldn't keep up and the prices weren't there at the time. Now I have a huge pile to get rid of even after selling boiler woodas much ad possible.
can I ask a few Question about the measurements on your 22-28?
Got my 12-22 a few months ago. It’s awesome. After my first day of working with it, the only thing I would change would be a bigger gas tank. That is a thirsty machine. Now that winter has arrived, 0 degrees Fahrenheit is though on the hydraulic fluids. Now I wish I had a hydraulic preheater on it.
Outstanding product EASTONMADE 🇨🇦🔥👌🏻
Thanks for the feedback and support brad. Really appreciate it!!!
I cant stop watching these videos!!! I dont even have a fire place!!! Keep making more great videos!!!
I am excited !
Both great machines. They both have evolved over the years. More and more heavy duty, better features, and improvements. Always look forward to seeing what you come up with next.
Thanks for all the feedback and support steve. Always great to hear from you.
I dream about these beautiful machines, but im just a poor homeowner and rescued a very old log splitter thats 10 inches off the ground.. So after i split the last of what i have im going to build it to where i can stand up instead of kneeling down.
GREAT VIDEO Andrew. Wish I could have seen this way back in the early days. I would have bought the top of the line machine right from the start. I'm with MJM Tree Service & Maintenance! This will be my 3rd machine from Eastonmade, the 22-28. I've had 2 smaller units and right now I have a 12-22 that I will be selling it this weekend if all goes well. If you own a tree service like I do, you will lock up a 12-22 more often than you want. I get some pretty big ugly wood and it often does not split well because it's tree service wood. The long straight 12-18" limb wood breaks up beautifully with the 12-22 but that's not the bulk of what I cut down. I make everything from bundle wood to great boiler wood for several customers. I'm putting in my order for the 22-28 in the next few days! I can't wait for the "It does not care" performance. Many times I have to quarter or even more a big round or bust up by hand a piece I dont think will go well through the 12-22. I know the 22-28 will save me time, my back and sawdust! Nothing worse than trying to push around a 3 or 400 pound block when it's on the splitter folks. Save yourself the time and any frustration if your dealing with gnarly pieces and or tree service wood and get the 22-28. You'll be happy you did.
Thanks again Eastonmade
I learn something more and new, with each video you put up. Thank you so much for doing them. One day I will be ordering a 22-28 for our 60 acres of timber.
Thank for the feedback and support. Glad you were able to take something away with it. Hopefully it helps others out as well.
I really enjoyed the video and find Andrew authoritative and affable.
Both of these are awesome from what I've seen from your videos
Thanks Jonathan really appreciate the feedback
I love watching these videos and daydreaming because right now all I got is a splitting maul and ax
22-28? I don't know. But my 12-22 has been very, very good to me! Sometimes a nasty round gets stuck on the wedge. Extending the cylinder and wrapping a nylon strap around the ram and the stuck round allows you to retract the ram and pull the round off the wedge, no problem. Thanks Andrew Shalom, gw
22-28 in Axis configuration, now that'd be a monster.
But even though feasible, price point in today's market/ economy.
But like they say,money talk's.
Great product as usual.
Top shelf, helping Buckin out west. Be safe.
Thanks for the feedback and support. Really appreciate it
Great video again, really showed the vast difference between power and complete annihilation!!!!
Thanks a lot for the feedback chris. Really appreciate it
Great equipment hopefully I can order a splitter shortly ,the box store stuff just doesn't hold up
The motor is so strong it sounds like it's working harder going backwards than when it's actually splitting the wood awesome machine made to last forever thank you Easton mate I can't wait until March
Thanks for all the feedback and support pierre. Really appreciate it!!!
Hey Andrew
Love your videos, love your explanations, limitations and features of your log splitters. After your videos you pretty much know exactly what you need.watching these videos you walk a mile in the customer’s shoes. God Bless
Thanks for all the support gerry. Means the world to us. Hopefully it helps some folks out.
Got my 12-22 a week ago. This thing is insane. Even my kids love it. Going from a county line TSC 22 ton splitter to this is, there are no words for this splitter. Just pure machine. Love the videos Andrew. Hope to meet you someday at a show after COVID.
Thanks for all the feedback and support. Glad the 12-22 is performing well for you. Hopefully get some shows in next year.
Update: Since I bought the 4-way "Tall-boy" wedge for my 12-22 the nasty, big roûnds are no problem. Thanks for suggesting it. :-)) Shalom, gw
It's nice to see that there is one for me how much
Good overview Andrew. We are really happy with the 22-28 - it is a beast - one and done on every round. Thanks again!
Thanks for all the support gord. Really appreciate it
Thanks for the comparison and explanation. They are both great splitters!
Thanks for all the support Dave. Really appreciate it
love to see both box wedges myself.
Think I'll give it a try for you guys.
Great Video Andrew those two machines are more different than I realized my 12-22 is a beast It has great power and is really good on fuel . I saw that axis in person that is one fine looking machine ! some day I gotta run the big brother hope the food plots are growing good say hello to the guys and tell your Dad I said hello take care
Thanks for all the feedback and support tim. Food plots are growing good. Will tell everyone you said hello.
Awesome!
Thank David!!!
I'd like to see a timed trial of the 12-22 vs 22-28 1 face cord of the nice and then 1 face cord of the nastiest stuff you can find... nasty on the lift side and nice on the other side... 5 inch box wedge. I think that would give your customers a better perspective into what we are getting... thanks Andrew
I thought about that, but its really difficult because every knot is different. It would be really hard for it to be accurate.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters yeah some pieces look the same but split completely different...maybe try the nastiest stringy crap you can find?
@@sureflamefirewood4174 if I get some in I'll give it a try for you
I do wish I would have talked with you before my purchase. Not that I don’t like what I got but I get my wood from a tree service guy and the 12-22 is having trouble with some wood.
I completely understand. What I've been doing is ripping the really ugly stuff at least once. I can tell you it will split ugly junk with the single. Slow but effective. I do like watching the knots burn knowing what a pain they were to split. Which wedge are you using ?
Mark W I have a 4 way. Also have a box wedge but haven’t had anything that we have been able to use on it.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I hope this helps some guys out
@Michael Roberts there's guys looking for used ones all the time. Due to the lead times (which have improved) I bet you can sell your 12-22 for a darn good price and recover quite a bit to buy your 22-28. Just a thought.
nastorino today we put the 4way wedge in and the 12-22 was a beast . We split wood for 8 hours taking an hour break to eat at lunch. We got 30 ricks of wood split and stacked. All I can say is wow!!!
Love it! Have you ever just for giggles have you ever built one larger? What are the cycle times on them? Can you equip them with a capstan winch as a pseudo skidded before bucking the log?
Yep....we have built a handful or 38-40's and a couple with really long strokes when requested. The 38-40 had a 6" cylinder on it. Really not a huge advantage. A properly built wedge doesn't need a lot of force to push wood through it.
Could you do a side by side comparison with those same machines, with box wedges on them?
Yep no reason why I can't. Going to have a box wedge video coming up next Tuesday I think.
Would love to see how the 9-16 handles material going through the box also.
@@danpiper1 next one we build I'll show you. Check out surviving country life. Ben has a couple of videos of it
Another great video 👍🏻
Thanks mike. Gerry said you might be coming our way someday?
This is excellent info! Thank you for comparing these for us.
Brilliant engineering
Absolutely love ur machines n ur videos. Eastonmade 💪🏽. Full watch n 👍🏽 always! Have a few questions (other than what I asked here n u answered. Thx!). I'll give u a ring in the near future Andrew.
Thanks for the feedback and support. Always great to hear from you.
Andrew, there both awesome machines, I'm pretty sure either one could do the job, I was wondering how much fuel consumption is there between the two, if any? As always great video 👍
I really should measure it some time. The 22-28 is probably twice as hard on fuel.
Good question!
I need to find a way to get one of these before too long. My parents are too old to be doing it the way they're doing it. The one they use now we have to use a shirt to hold on to the pullstart or it will dislocate your elbow or shoulder.
I really would like to know the price of the 12-22 as it is in this video
Andrew according to the Eastonmade website the 22-28 has fenders. In the video the 22-28 does not. Which is the correct configuration? Thank you and keep building the most amazing wood splitters on the market!!!
This is right before we started putting fenders on them. All the new 22-28's have them
Great video I'd love one of those 12 22 just a pitty there not available in Ireland
We have a dealer in the UK now. Get ahold of ian gregory. He should be able to fix you up.

Eastonmade Wood Splitters What about in New Zealand Andrew?
Hey Andrew! Can we see a similar video showing the differences between the 9-16 and the 12-22 please?
Yes...next 9-16 we build I will make one
I for one would like to personally test out the 22-28 and see if I like it better then my 12-22.... And if they become friends you wouldn't want to separate them... Why not both!!!
The 22-28 and the Axis would be my dream team.
Lol for you kevin anything. Thanks for all the support!!!
@@markw2266 that would be a good way to do it for sure. Have the precision of the axis and the power and performance of the 22-28

Have you ever tried to put a log in sideways on the 22-28? I’d be curious to see what would happen
Booom!
Yes I've done it. Will split most stuff sideways
I need one of those. I have an endless supply of free hardwood but I am in Georgia and maybe a bit far for a delivery cost wise. I have a cheap box store splitter and it just is not strong or fast enough.
Where are you located in GA? I have a 12-22 and a 424 skid steer Eastonmade. Live just south of Atlanta.
Freight down to Georgia is around $1200. Great to hear from you Ricky. How's every going down in your neck of the woods?
@@rickyherron6110 I am in Canton about 30 miles North side of Atlanta
Will be working both tomorrow , message me on FB for directions if you want to put hands on one.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters going good, these machines are waring we out. Working great!! Hate Bunyan was canceled miss visiting, stay safe.
I can't wait till mine comes. Andrew on the gizmo that measures block length could you direct me to where I could get one? Thanks
You're gonna love it. I don't have a name for the measuring stick I use. I bought I at a local saw shop
Wish I was watching this from Paul Bunyan show. I really miss the smell of fresh wood chips and diesel fuel on this cool morning!
That make two of us. Really look forward to the Paul bunyan show every year
Looking at the 22/28 and I wonder why you are running such a small pump on it? By ratio of hp/gpm based on the 5/11, 9/16, and 12/22 the pump size should be over 40gpm on the 22/28. I realize that would really be pushing the limits of fluid dynamics but it would also put your cycle time into the sub 5 second range and wouldn’t compromise tonnage.
2 stage pump design limits it to that range. We do adjust the relief on the second stage of the pump to limit the amount of time its spends in low speed and make better use of the extra horsepower
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Starting a firewood business in the pacific Northwest in oregon. I don't need a powerhouse with our softwood but cycle time is very important for me. We will be splitting 100+ cord per season at a minimum to start but need something that can keep up as we grow. What do you recommend
If possible make a video of different between the 9 16 and the 12 22 thanks east Texas says hi
I can do that!!!
My name is Rian Rebecca my wife and we are tired of using a box store splitter have a black diamond 25 ton but up graded to a 8.5 hp husqvarna engine instead of the 6.5 that comes on it made a big difference on power and its not as loud as the briggs that come on them plus added a 25 gallon hydraulic tank to the side if it to keep the fluid cool actually pretty fast for what it is around 8 seconds just Rebecca retired this past November of 34 years 4 months with work for the state prison and I'm doing all I can to do with firewood to sell and its wearing me out shopping around for a commercial splitter got be a better way than how I'm doing it
Hi. Really nice splitters. No doubt they are built to outlast the people that use them. Just curious why you have such a large hydraulic tank and a cooler? I thought you could get away with a much smaller tank since you have the cooler and don’t need the heat sink. Is the large tank needed for air separation?
The large tank is still required for heat and oil circulation.
I see the link in the description is clickable now. You put an S there, too - you do that if your website has a certificate attached to it. Yours doesn't so I get a warning when I click on it. Edit the description and remove the S there or remove everything before www if it does correct itself to that or something. Take care!
Sounds good. Appreciate all your help. I'm really good with wrenches not so much computers lol
You look like you have a top of the line prodcuct. I am still in the "planning stage" of getting a commercial splitter, but am definitely leaning toward an Eastonmade. What is the stroke lenght on these two machines, I couldn't find it on your website. Thank you in advance.
Is there a cycle time difference between the 2 machines? It appeared to me that the 12-22 was faster.
Yes, I own a 12-22 and it is blazing fast. When I'm working by myself with easy wood to split I run the engine at 1/2 throttle and it's still way fast and I can't keep up with the machine. I'm upgrading to the 22-28 because speed is not my main concern. I split gnarly wood often so I need power over speed. Having said that the 22-28 at full throttle is I'm sure faster than the 12-22 at 1/2 or 3/4 power. I have not tried that yet but rest assured bwillan, the 22-28 is FAST ! You'll need a 3 person crew to max out the speed and performance of the 22-28.
Yes the 12-22 is almost 2 seconds faster than the 22-28. In big tough rounds the 22-28 is faster because it doesn't operate in the second stage of the pump near as often
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters is there any risk to the pump or engine or valves by running half throttle as he mentioned? The risk would be if he hit something twisted or knotty the engine would bog and unnecessarily load it too much.
I wouldn't think there'd be a valve issue, that said, yes you could bog it down on something twisted/knotted all to hell.
Hope this helps you. Be safe.
I run a tree service in maine and always have a need to split bigger wood. I'm in love with the 22-28 and have called a couple times but not received I call back. Should I keep calling? really interested in ordering one.
Question ? Does the 12-22 can take a box spliter and can it do well for an old man like me? kinda dumb to ask but I had a stroke last year so kinda limited to what I can move or pick up , I have a old spliter that we bought new form Lowes in 1997 that works great , But still very heavey for me to move and all
It can take a box wedge easily. It takes a lot of the labour out of splitter wood for sure.
Hi Andrew, I'm looking for a 12-22 electric. How much price difference is it from gas to electric.
Just figuring space what's length and width of 12-22
15k vs 17k yeah I think at that point might as well just buy the 22-28
Whats the difference in cycle time
1.5-2 seconds
What size splitter, at a minimum, would be needed to split cotton wood found in colorado?
You should be able to do it with any of our models. Really tough stuff I would recommend a 4 way wedge for
What's the cost as shown in video on both units?
I'm wondering the same . I guess we're gonna have to call them .
What size ram are you using on the 22-28 Andrew? And what GPM pump? Thanks.
5" 28gpm pump
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters Thanks Andrew. Um, I'm new to log splitters so I'm trying to understand here, and it's great having knowledgeable people like you in which to interact with. Now, if 28 is the maximum gpm of a two stage pump, then what's the '22' part of the 22-28, is that the minimum (gpm flow, high pressure) side of the pump, or is that the HP rating of the Honda V twin motor you're using? Thanks again.
@@SeriousSchitt hp of the the engine 22hp/28gpm
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters Thanks again Andrew, you make great log splitters, keep up the good work and keep those videos coming.

What speed can your 22-28 splitter be towed at? Thank you.
50 mph
6:35 How dare you try and talk us out of the bigger machines. As the saying goes, "Shut up and take my money!" Oh, wait you already did! Loving the 5-11
😂 just want to make sure everyone's happy lol
You may have said this but; what was the tonnage of the 12-22?
Also, what do these numbers mean? 12-22, and 22-28?
Numbers are hp/gpm and the 12-22 is 24 tons amd the 22-28 is 37 tons
So where is the price sheet what do they cost?
All of the prices are on our website www.eastonmadewoodsplitters.com
What speed can these machines be towed at?
We advertise 55 mph
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters I like your 12-22 with the 5 way box wedge. I'm going to have to order one. You do a great job on your videos.
As a home owner that processes wood for personal use and for sale. I frequently get big gnarly wood and mostly large trunks. I’m not big commercial but would the 12-22 be enough or is the 22-28 a better step up?
If in doubt go bigger.
@@vodaredhill1704 better to have extra and not need.
@@patrickkelly8095 I have an MDL 37 ton splitter and it can even cut logs sideways !
Big rounds of ash 24-36 on the 12-22, which wedge do you recommend?
Box wedge and 4 way for that stuff. If it's mostly clean the box wedge will take a lot of the labour out of it. I have run into some really tough ash to split
I use the 6 way for everything. On large piece I leave the wedge all the way down and it works as a 4 way. Once you get one pass through a big piece you can start breaking it down with the 6 way.
@@jrusc that's works great also. Thanks for the input. It's always great to hear from guys that are running them
Box wedge, does make some kindling but super easy to use. Your wood is also very consistent in size and shape. I have the single, 4 way, 6 way, and box on a 12-22 if it's above 18" I personally always go for the box wedge. I think the 12-22 has more effective splitting force with the box wedge as well. It slabs and breaks up the slab instead of trying to split the whole round. If you ever hand split it like starting from the outside instead of trying to get the round to split in half. If your trying to reduce your wedges I would get the box and 4 way. The 6 way has its application but I think the 4 way is a little better at size control in smaller rounds.
I should also point out that I only split for personal use so uniformity is not important.
Does anyone know how many ton the 12-22 is rated at?
We rate the 12-22 at 24 tons
My question too. Glad was asked & answered. Thank you!
What is the cost of each machine or can I find that on your site??
It is on our website
Where can I get one.
How much is the 22/28
Best machines yet,,, heavy made,,that's good...they just need to hook a aux fuel tank to that Honda for longer run time.and electric start that Honda .yes Honda starts good,but us old spoiled senior citizens don't like wasting energy..ha ha..I have a Briggs and Stratton 20 horse electric start on mine...,5 gallon fuel tank..
Wait... These things don't have electric start?
