Running the box wedge on my 22-28 100% of the time. May end up being a few more cycles at the end of the day but it's still fast as hell compared to any other machine and versatile enough that it consistently produces no matter what size blocks I'm working with. I find it also safer handling the bigger pieces. Less hands-on the wood and let the machine do the work. ALSO, Love the serrated teeth on the lift plate! I noticed some of the machines in the videos have non-serrated risers and really appreciate them on my machine.
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day!
Now for the real tough question , how much does it cost to : purchase , operate for a full days work , an maintain and pm ????
Been watching for while, Your machines are amazing your attitude toward serving what the customer needs is one of the best. If I ever get to purchase a real machine, you're the number one Choice
Thanks jim. Really appreciate the support
Good to hear a legit explanation of the different styles and not a company saying this is the way it is. We do smaller for the bundles than we do for winter fuel. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback Paul. Different strokes for different folks. It would be easy if one size fits all
Box wedge makes some beautifully shaped wood... makes kindling at same time, I like it
Great video, not only quality wise, but showing you need the right tool for the job. Sometimes 12 way, sometimes the box. Both have their place.
Thanks for the feedback. It is very much appreciated
That was an interesting comparison. Thanks
Your guys stuff flat kicks ass! I'm a working man and hope too afford an ultra someday. Love the videos.
Thabks for the feedback eric. It is very much appreciated
im glade your explaining now i have just got the commercail alfa 5 or timberwolf im finding that no matter how the commercail big splitter are built to process fast the wood get -stuck! on( Normal wood ) that in the real world of splitting! not that i have tryed your but there all built in the same fashion
Andrew, I fer one really appreciate yer honesty. Not ta many businesses er like yall. I'm still puttin thins tagether but will definitely do my business with ya.
Let us know when your ready. Really appreciate all the support.
I think it’s awesome that both attachments can be run on the same splitter
Thanks for the feedback joe. It's very much appreciated
That 22-27 is an absolute beast of a machine. I think I remember Andrew saying it’s somewhere in the ball park of like 38-40 ton. I might be wrong but it’s definitely 30 something for tonnage
I'm in love with ur machines bro
Thanks
Thank you!!!
I love watching you split wood! You don’t know pain until you split Black Jack oak. I need me one of them there machine down here in Oklahoma
Never split black jack before! Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it
I would say dry black locust logs would hard as well that wood becomes like granite once it dries out it splits like butter when it is green but once it dries out I have heard of it bending 2" steel plate on splitters from a guy I used to know who was a welder and repaired a logsplitter
I'm in Oklahoma and my 22-28 should be here in October
Great video I like the 12 way
Thanks for the feedback. Its very much appreciated
I've observed with many firewood splitters, the larger number of wedges (6 way, 8 way and bigger), that they work great for a certain narrow range sizes of log. Anything outside that range, one might as well use a box wedge with the pull back arm and get consistent sized firewood splits.
The woodworker in me always sheds a tear seeing such large and relatively straight logs get cut up for firewood instead of made into lumber.
Thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback. It is very much aopreciated
SUPER !!!! 🤝🤝🤝
Can't believe the pandemic caused for me to watch enough of these videos to the point I started splitting a lot of wood and am strongly considering buying one of these machines in the near future. Something positive that's come out of an unfortunate situation.
Lol well I'm glad you enjoyed them. Hopefully we can get you fixed up with a new splitter some day. Really appreciate the support
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters the UA-cam channel "Hometown Acres" and their use of your splitters brought me here. I don't know if you guys have a deal but at the very least, you can share comments like this with them.
I love UA-cam for this specific reason. We are all people who want good quality equipment to produce a quality product we can sell with confidence to a happy customer. UA-cam helps us share the information needed to get us to that place.
👍🏾
@@kidphillyorg adam does have alot of really good content on youtube. Very helpful for guys looking to get into the firewood business. Another good guy to check out is ohio wood burner. Joe doesn't have an eastonmade but does have a lot of info on starting a firewood business.
I handle logs up to 4' in diameter at times and I can't wait to get a splitter with the box wedge well at least I have a goal to work towards
Let me know if there is any way I can help in the meantime. Really appreciate the feedback
Where did you get the measurement stick for the saw.
Where did you get the measuring tool for your chainsaw
From what I see 12 way for bulk orders a little quicker and box wedge for the fancy gotta be perfect orders nice !! Nice comparison
Thanks for the feedback outdoors. It is very much appreciated
Should let us know what you charge for the product. What model would would be the lowest cost? Thanks!
Thumbs up 👍
If I was still buying firewood I would pay more for the consistency of the box wedge product.
12 way looks like it's much more efficient and seems like it'd be less wear and tear on the machine.
Dude could u be more Canadian haha love the splitters I'm saving a little for the 22_28
Hello, what hydraulic pump did you use to 3000rpm from gasoline engine?
Damn nice splitters. I'm still kind of feeling that new Axis model. Is there any way to make that conveyor go out towards the back? Either way awesome machines! Hopefully will get one soon. Do you only do commercial financing?
Yeo we do commercial financing. The only reason we dont out the conveyor the other way in the axis is because you end up working yourself into a corner set up like that
Can the wedge be built to different size of wood. Most of my customers like the smaller wood. Where the ladies like handling the firewood.
I use an old single wedge splitter. And it takes a long time. I’d be happy with a 4 way wedge 😂
Every little bit helps!
I think I remember you saying at one point in time that the 22-28 couldn't have both the 12-way and the box wedge due to the power of the machine; it had to be one or the other. Am I remembering that wrong, or have you updated designs to allow both?
You are right john. We were in the early stages of testing the new (back then) box wedge design. It works great with both wedges.
Beautiful machines! Will u guy's be at the Richmond VA equipment expo in October?
I dont think we will be. It's just after the paul bunyan show.
I'll keep watching your UA-cam videos. That box wedge setup will take care of all my mountains of oak and pine!
I’m liking that box wedge!
Both are awesome, the only problem is the video kept getting interrupted by creepy joe Biden commercials of how after 40 years he’s going to do his job. Lol
Hahahaha

Hello, Can the 12 way be moved up and down like the smaller wedges? Awesome machine
yes. there is 10" of adjustment there
How do these do on Douglass fir? Any feedback from people in the Washington ,oregon area? My guess is its smooth like butter
They do work really well in fir
How much if I pay for it all at once for 22-28 box weag
TRIED TO CALL ! CAN:T GET TO YOU TO ORDER ?
Andrew I'm still drurling over the boiler size box wedge Lol ! Awesome! also that husky saw is a nice ripper man, at the end of the video is there something new behind you? Hmmm 👍
Thanks for the feedback dave!
Do you make a wedge perfect for restaurant wood? Small pieces that they like without hand splitting every piece. Or is there something out there like that
Most guys go with the box wedge for that. The height is adjustable. Easily make 2x3 squares with it.
Eastonmade Wood Splitters what model is that?
Is the box wedge adjustable height like other wedges? If so, how much? Looking for something for outdoor boiler wood, rounds 20 to 40”.
Yes it does have an adjustable height. We also offer a 5 way box wedge that makes bigger pieces for outdoor boilers
Eastonmade Wood Splitters , is there a lead time on the 9-16 splitter? What would be the delivery charge to Prospect, Ohio 43342?
If you do a lot of wood 10-18inch diameter for cordwood (mostly selling) would you recommend a 6 way or the box wedge and if the box wedge would you say 5 or 7 way? We have a 12-22 on order for October but can’t decide on wedges. Only one we are certain of is the tall 4 way
Really hard to say without running it. We have lots of guys that only run one wedge and lots of guys that swap them back and forth. Normally if you need to resplit anything the box wedge is better as it's less labour
I bought a 12-22 a little over a year ago. I use the 4 Way most of the time, Box Wedge 7 Way second, and 6 Way rarely. A tall 4 way would be very nice, the one I have is the short. Like in this video, the box wedge is great for the large rounds. Good luck.
Seather thank you! We also can’t decide between a five way box wedge or the seven way
@@jeffthiem7710 7 way will give you nice uniform for firewood, 5 way would be better for larger boiler wood.
@@jeffthiem7710 Jeff this video will give you a good idea on what size wood to expect from a 7 way box wedge. ua-cam.com/video/XiyvlGCHgpQ/v-deo.html
Do you sell your products in Europe (France)?
Hi
Where I can buy this machine in France
Why does the ram on this 22-28 look so much more massive than on your other videos with a 22-28? Are there options?
No they are all the same
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters What is your lead time, shipping cost to 28714 zip & do you collect sales tax?
@Eastonmade Wood Splitters not much specifics on your website. What is the rated tonnage & what length log can this handle?
How does the box wedge fare against knotty rounds or crotch rounds?
It will split them. Just not near as clean.
If you look at the amount of work involved, it ain’t even close. I’m an old man, that wedge hurts my back just watching it. I’ll take one of the box ones. Still not sure which one.
Do the prices on the website include freight?
No
Bonjour,
C'est possible d'avoir cette machine pour la France ?
Cordialement
where do you get measuring stick for saw?......thks
Our local saw shop has them. Haven't been able to find them online. If I do I will do a video on them.
I found these... never heard of this shop though so no idea if they are reliable. www.baileysonline.com/quick-stix-firewood-measuring-guide-14-16-18-47150-47150.html
@@darthsitharibane1551 Bailey's are a top notch bunch. Thanks for the link. Really appreciate you taking the time out of your day.
Can a box wedge bust rounds with alot of knots
It will just makes a bit more of a mess
Estabien ....pero necesito videos en español y dónde que e pais
The box does not make nicer wood. In theory it does but in actuality wood has knots which won’t let it lay perfectly flat so you end up with small drop offs btw I made one and went back to a 4 way wedge which is faster.
Depends how big your box splitter is. I can put 3 rounds in mine for 12 pieces a pass side by side. And i often do this. To slow on 300mm rounds splitting 1 at a time.
Hey Andrew, are you selling sacks for wood now?
No....doing my own wood and planning on doing a comparison of sacks vs bins.
@D P bag supplies canada
Have the cutting done before starting the video.
Where I can buy this log splitter
We sell them direct. Our phone number is 613-812-3213
HOW MUCH ?
Awesome splitter but a box wedge or a 12 way make way to much waste wood.... A good 4 way or 6 way works best. Yea, you have to run parts of the wood back thru but theres so much less waste.
Yep to each their own. I'm going to try and get another video of the 12-22 with all the different wedges.
Can. You. Have both. 12. Way. And. Box. Wedge. On. The. Same machine
Yep. The wedges just pull in and out
how many liters of pump
28 gallons a minute
Work on reducing slash. Slash is like weld splatter, a waste of material and a pain to clean up.
slag
That 12 way wedge on the 12-22 would be the absolute truth.
In my opinion folks split wood too small these days. Firewood is like a good woman it needs some meat on the bone. 😎
Lol to each their own I guess. Thanks for the feedback it's very much appreciated
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters
But seriously small chunks seams like a trend but seems like it would burn up faster. To me anyway.
Blessed Day
U wont do that w hedge
You can with box wedge. I do it
@@ryanwebb9099 hedge trees is wat I'm talking about that shit is hard
Box wedge seems like less work with the bigger blocks.
Yes it is for sure. Thanks for the feedback
I would do some seriously crazy Sh** to have enough money for that unit with a box wedge. 🤌 absolute perfection.
