    When I picked my fully loaded 28C a few months ago, I was impressed with the amount of work they crank out in such a small shop. No log splitter model is perfect for all splitting situations, which is why there is such a variety of designs. For bundle/precision split wood, the Axis is the best. For 12-16in cleam wood, the Wolfe Ridge 12-way wedge is a very fast machine. The Wolfe Ridge magnum package pusher with the zerk fitting locations is the best of any splitter that I've seen. Is little things like that which make using a piece of equipment a hoy as maintenance is easy to perform. I absolutely love the dark sapphire color I chose for my log splitter. Anytime you want to run a Wolfe Ridge 12-way wedge in nice wood, I'll bring my splitter over.

    • @TonysCoolTools
      @TonysCoolTools  Рік тому

      You are so right, no one splitter is perfect for every application or every person. We are fortunate to have so many great brands available to us today.

I need to do some digging if you upgraded your 500i air filter. I heard dust can get by the cover knob so i upgraded to the jason egan airfilter set up. Good to see Mike is a stihl guy.

    Hi Tony, Your friend Dick's new machine is Honda powered like Eastonmade used to be . Woe to the guy who ordered from Easton w the express order for Honda and then cancelled when they did their bait and switch with Briggs. That was me BTW. However , like your friend Dick , I now have the superior Wolfe Ridge pro 28 . I am surprised easton is still in business. Hi Dick, you are a lucky man.

      Gay i had the Honda engine on my Eastonmade 12-22. When I ordered my Axis it was 6 months before the switch to Briggs. I was extremely disappointed when I called to find out I was getting a Briggs. I felt Eastonmade should have called the people who had orders in and were anticipating a Honda to approve and accept the Briggs substitution or get their $500 back. With that being said if you take the engine out of the equation I still feel that Eastonmade is one of the top splitters in the industry.
      Oh and by the way Dick is extremely happy with his Wolf Ridge.

December after me having to call them, I'm told it went into production Dec 1st and told it should take a week. Called again Dec 19th told it's in assembly. Really!

It is great to see businesses like this.👍
