I DO like that Axis GP, If I was ever to make a purchase of a manufactured splitter, this one would be seriously considered. I wonder if the two slackers were out in the boat....?? LOL Have a great week my friend.
Good day eh!! That's a nice splitter no doubt about it. The cycle time is incredible and the table is such a great height for working eh. Nice and easy on the back. Take 'er easy!!!
Good morning Gord, put a game camera watching your dock and you'll find those two guy's who were missing while you were gathering and splitting wood. You did a great job with your video and the woods are looking good and you really caught the cuts before they were totally rotted. Sure added to Guy's firewood stack too. Looking good around there and that splitter is awesome. Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe and keep up the good videos and fun. Fred.
Good afternoon GP. Hmmmm the stumps are gone.. Hahahah That grapple is great.. I am in love with the splitter.. I think it is the best I have ever seen.. I back even likes it😂. Hey have you ever watched Sawing wit Sandy? He is up by you some where.. As always stay safe and always be kind my friend. Cheers
You really know a splitter is actually fun to operate...When you even consider the notion of doing firewood in the heat of summer! If Andrew ever tries to take this splitter back...It will be like a video of a daycare when the Teacher announces, it is time to put the toys up for naps. There will be a group of grown men rolling in the dirt in tears, while kicking and screaming!🤣🤣
Tried out an Axis today. Is an amaxing machine. Is absolutely perfect for being the firewood equivalent of "surgical precision" when it comes to getting the best wood out of an ugly looking chunk of wood.
I did indeed DA! Got around the lake at the end of each day - yes, the stump video is coming. Super thankful to Ralph for coming over and helping me out!
Good afternoon to you Gord. I thought I would pass along an idea that I now use for my own homemade carryall. I found a small model pickup tailgate web-netting at a yard sale. I mounted it to the rear right side, and placed the securing hardware for the loose end, on the left. Doing this, and since my steps are on the left, I can secure the load then get on up in the Captains seat. Enjoy your videos and your down to earth nature. Be safe.
Hey Gord, check the coffee machine see if it's warm... they might of saw or heard you coming...work run...lol I have to get one of them carryall for my tractor Very handy... good job on the video...
Good day 56! Chalk, a couple of wedges for now. I bought some hand files but haven't learned how to use them yet - an interest I have and want to learn this summer. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Morning Jim. I was thinking the same thing while I was splitting - It always has some shade but a little more overhang would make it perfect - I will talk to Guy! Thanks!
Gord, Another great video. I look forward to watching your videos. Thanks for sharing 👍 I'm curious, do you recall how the two tines got bent on your Grapple? I have one coming and want to know what could cause that to happen. Thanks, Dan
Good morning Dan - I certainly do - LOL. Operator error. I explained it on a few older videos, but it happened when I was removing large boulders. I didn't realize how powerful the jaw is and when trying to grip rocks, you will find that sometimes you try to grab too hard. I kept applying the jaw too hard against the rocks and eventually a few tines bent on me. My fault totally but a learning experience as often is the case. Cylinder pressure against granite...something had to give. :)) Good luck with your new grapple - I think you will enjoy it - it's super useful!
Hey good day JO. Great question - not at all - the height is easily adjustable, so i set it so i can just pivot off my heel and not have to lift my leg, unless I chose to. Very comfortable but also smart that they made it adjustable. Cheers!
Morning Mark - I do ! Check out video #269 which shows each of the different attachments for the LogOX Forester's package, and video #554 will show you the recently improved version. How are you enjoying the new tractor?
@@GPOutdoors the little bit of time I’ve had in it has been great. Used it this weekend to launch the big boat, and pull it up the slope from the beach.
I noticed that the Eastonmade comes up much higher than the height of the round. Is there a way to adjust the stroke length shorter? With each cycle it would save a couple seconds and the amount of wood you go through it would really add up. Bet you sure enjoy the cab when your back in the forest. Great videos. Russ. Esko, Minnesota
You bet - it is easily adjusted to the height needed to reduce the length of the stroke and make it faster. However, LOL. I found that we often have rounds that are much longer than 16" so I just put it back up. Thanks - have a good one!
He doesn't - they got him last year -0( . But a great tip which actually works, is to spray each nest when they develop (in the evening is best) but the trick is to leave the nest there and not take it down. Wasps are territorial and will not make another nest there. I have been doing it for years and it actually works. Cheers!
Hey Gordy. I am between the axis and the 5-11 I am a 1 man log splitting show. Which on do you like better for running alone. I am mainly looking to do bundle wood and smaller splits due to the size of my wood stove and for getting into selling. Thanks!
Morning Nick. I enjoyed the 5-11 alot - not sure how old you are but for what you described above, I would go AXIS all the way. As a few folks said above - it provides precision , big working table and the largest log lift. And far faster than the 5-11- way faster cycle time. Although we can tow it around the property, I am finding now that this current setup seems to be best - right at the wood stack, I bring the logs or rounds to it, and then split and stack on the spot. If I were doing what you are looking to do, I would go AXIS for sure. You can manage the splits - no re-splitting at all. Good luck with your new business!
Thanks you for taking the time out and responding! As all of us we aren't getting any younger lol. I am 44 but due to my profession my back has taken its toll over the years so the work height of the axis maybe my best option. I get a ton of tree service wood so the precision of the axis and big rounds I usually get sounds like it may be the way to go! Again thanks for the response I really appreciate and enjoy your channel!
Thanks for all the support gord. That was a good load for the carryall for sure. Tell the partners in crime i said hello!!!
Will do! Cheers Andrew!
Guy and Bob are inside watching you work, while monitoring the coffee level in the pot! Cheers!!
LOL! Morning Michael!
Nice one GP
Quick work for making a face cord! Thank you for the video!
Who knew you were a power-lifter Gord 💪!?!? Looks like it was a great day to be out in the forest!
Spinach. Lots of spinach Chris! LOL!
Good weather in the woodyard makes for a happy life

Hey good morning T! LOL! They were hiding out for sure. Hope you are doing well!
Great way to keep in OUSTANDING fitness shape GP 👌😉👍 You old carry all is still doing strong 💪👍😉BIP BIP BIP 🤣🤣👍👍Cheers 🍻🍻
LOL! It sure is Dave - hope you are keeping well!
GP that Eastonmade Axis just makes it too easy. I call it making Picasso firewood since it’s sooooo pretty! Be safe
You might say it's a "cool tool" Tony....LOL! Thanks!
Good day eh!! That's a nice splitter no doubt about it. The cycle time is incredible and the table is such a great height for working eh. Nice and easy on the back. Take 'er easy!!!
Morning Grampie! Got the heat and humidity early here this year - take it easy out there my friend!
They are out sunbathing at Husky Bob’s! Good job getting more wood split! A never ending job for you North dwellers!
I see your grapple doubles as a Sawhaul lol. I was almost carried away by the black flies this weekend myself. Thanks for the video
LOL!
Enjoyable video. Thanks, Gordon. -Dave
Thanks so much Dave!

LOL! That's a good idea Fred! I'll catch them for sure. Thanks - have a good weekend and all the best to your family!
Nice job 👍
Great Job ! You desserve a cold canadian beer !
Good afternoon GP.
Hmmmm the stumps are gone..
Hahahah
That grapple is great..
I am in love with the splitter..
I think it is the best I have ever seen.. I back even likes it😂.
Hey have you ever watched
Sawing wit Sandy?
He is up by you some where..
As always stay safe and always be kind my friend.
Cheers
LOL! Video on the way for the stumps Gus. Yes, he is several hours north-west of me but enjoy his channel when I have time to watch. Say hi to Sally!

LOL! So true Wayne. I'll have to put a big padlock on the gate. ;)) Have a great weekend!
@@GPOutdoors Now you are thinking!👍👍
Thanks!
Good morning Rick and thanks again - very kind of you good sir. Have a wonderful Sunday!
Good Morning GP: Another Great Video- Have a Wonderful Weekend
You too Richard! Thanks!
Tried out an Axis today. Is an amaxing machine. Is absolutely perfect for being the firewood equivalent of "surgical precision" when it comes to getting the best wood out of an ugly looking chunk of wood.
It's pretty impressive for sure FD!
You know those rounds didn't have a chance just from Gorden's scan over the tractor load just before relocation. Nice quick work for the morning
;) Cheers Bay!
I really like the work station platform on your Eastonmade Axis. Looks very user friendly, and comfortable to use
Nice, some beautiful woods and great machinery, looks like a great day
You too Wooly!
I see the stumps are gone! Nice job with the firewood. I hope you got some relaxation in as well! 😁
I did indeed DA! Got around the lake at the end of each day - yes, the stump video is coming. Super thankful to Ralph for coming over and helping me out!
Gordon you sure Guy wants splits that small, just kidding. Have a blessed day
LOL! Morning Brian!
Gord your boys went MIA on you. You better put them to work when they surface.
LOL! I knew they would - I could hear the ice machine in the workshop running. :)) Cheers!

LOL! Thanks BJ!
I was impressed with you being able to heave those logs up to the second row, but the third? That's just showing off.😁😁😁😁
LOL! Have a great weekend Mark!
Good show. Cheers!
Hot day for doing wood but you got it done good job where was your sidekicks probably hiding in the shade lol take care have a great weekend
Morning Tom - I am sure they were relaxing in the workshop waiting for me to finish. LOL!
Enjoy the video What's in your tool pouch.
Good day 56! Chalk, a couple of wedges for now. I bought some hand files but haven't learned how to use them yet - an interest I have and want to learn this summer. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
how about extending the roof over the Axis for shade & lights at night, hehehe.
Morning Jim. I was thinking the same thing while I was splitting - It always has some shade but a little more overhang would make it perfect - I will talk to Guy! Thanks!
The front of the tractor must be very light with almost a facecord a the back !
Gord, Another great video. I look forward to watching your videos. Thanks for sharing 👍

Gee Gordy if you put the bucket on you could have hauled a bunch more out.. lol... stay safe
LOL! Cheers skeets!
@@GPOutdoors :) :) :)
Nice rounds / blocks of firewood. When using the splitter does your foot get tired operating the pedal?
Hey good day JO. Great question - not at all - the height is easily adjustable, so i set it so i can just pivot off my heel and not have to lift my leg, unless I chose to. Very comfortable but also smart that they made it adjustable. Cheers!
Gord do you have a video on your log peavy/cant hook? Interested in seeing that if you do. Have a great weekend! 👍🚜🍻🪵
