Gentleman, great comparison vid of 2 very nice commercial splitters - I'd take either one but my yearly personal wood pile nor tight wallet would justify the cost of either for a few days of splitting... 😉😉
I had no personal interest in log splitters before these last two videos. But you managed to make them interesting for all the reasons you demonstrate. Great shares, and fun to watch - you even managed to live at the end! 😁
I went with the splitfire because of the log lift. And the fact i grew up using a 2-way spliter. And it is light enough that i can move it around by hand. I am very happy with my decision. Greeat review. Both make amazing splitters.
My splitfire is a smaller model than the one he brought to you. Mine, i think, is a quicker cycle time but not as powerful, and mine doesn't have the 4 way wedge. Mine was $5200 Canadian delivered to my door. My add ons were the log lift, Honda engine, and back trailer hitch. Splitfire wood splitters are the most common rental splitter used by rental companies cross Canada. Believe me they are a commercial splitfire and can take a beating.
To be fair there is a more affordable Split-Fired model (2265). With the Honda engine & log lift upgrade, the price is approximately $3,506.00. Shipping to my location adds $315. I've been using a Brave log splitter with a 5 hp Honda engine for almost 20 years, & it has no problem splitting my firewood (72 wooded acres landowner). I seldom run the 5 hp engine at full throttle. A 2265 would be more than adequate for most anyone. I'm not saying the Eastonmade is not a great machine, but I would have to do a lot of firewood to justify the cost of any of these machines.
I agree with everything you said except for the full throttle part seems unusual to me. These two splitters have 10 and 15 hp respectively and I think they need every bit of that if not more
@@RockhillfarmYT My 22 ton Brave log splitter has a 5 hp Honda, & I have been using it for almost 20 years. I seldom go to full throttle unless I am doing large elm or something like that. I've never had a piece I couldn't split, & I'm confident mine is much more gas efficient. Can I split as fast as you? No way, but it still beats using a splitting maul. Joe may have gone full throttle to compete with you, but it's not really necessary most of the time. I enjoy the quiet operation of mine at partial throttle.
Good times Brock! I always have fun when I come up your way.
The lift table is a real advantage, even if it's just to store the cut logs to be re-cut - very handy indeed.
Great comparison! We really like our Split-Fire.

Thanks for watching 902. It was fun!
Nice splitter comparison. Please don't damage back without lifter!

Awesome video you guys! I like both splitters, but I am still glad with my decision to go SplitFire. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Nice comparison of two excellent splitters. Thanks Brock
Both splitters are great machines. Really depends what your situation is as to what machine to choose.
Brock is doing good with his channel. Even splitting wood brings back memories.

Awesome comparison video Brock, should help some folks decide which is best for them.
Very nice comparison!
Thanks for watching
That Eastman needs a foot controlled installed. Both hand free to maneuver.
The Eastonmade is about $5400, the Splitfire with the lift table and a honda engine is 3200..and it was faster...
