I wish I could afford a nice splitter. When I looked through your eyes and got a glimpse of your soul, I saw a good man. I would give anything to own one of your splitters. I know I'd never have to worry about splitting ever again. (At 63 with a heart condition, I can tell you it doesn't get any easier!) Happy belated Veteran's Day to all of my fellow Veterans! 🇺🇸
I live in Townsville, Australia and am looking for a log splitter. Your video confirms what my mechanic said to me 25 odd years ago..."The Americans say there is no substitute for cubic inches" That is as true for hydraulics as it is for engines.
Thanks for your straight shooting.
The reason people watch shows on youtube is to get and see the facts, not what the adds for products claim, this is why the old fashioned media is dying a fast death, the public want the facts from someone they trust and can believe. Truth and facts always win. Thanks Andrew!!!
This is true. Appreciate all the support chris
@Roger l its maybe 3/16" at best. I dont see an issue myself. Youll see a smaller barsaw from us in the near future
Perfectly said Chris
Everyone misleads, especially our government…. Glad to see an honest businessman trying to bring up the industry out of dirty tactics! Thanks Andrew
Thank you!!!
I see the big box splitters being advertised as 25-35 tons constantly. I've run them and they are nowhere near as fast or powerful as my 14 ton Ultra but people get snowed by those numbers and buy a product based on it. The Ultra has been a total game changer in my little firewood business and my improved success is a direct result of your work Andrew. Thank you! Dave
Thanks dave. Appreciate the support
My 28-ton commercial grade splittet SMOKES any box store splitter rated at the same tonnage. I can push straight-grained oak measuring 20-24in through a 12-way wedge. On a 28-ton machine. As Andrew knows quite well, it takes a serious a.ount of power to push wood through a 12-way wedge. No way are the box store splitters pushing out 28 tons.
Andrew you’re right, you can’t make an educated decision if you don’t have accurate data. Anyone who has done their own research and run an Axis and the competitors units can confirm what you’ve said. You not only make the best horizontal splitter in the industry but you’ve identified all the shortcomings of the competitions vertical splitter and made huge improvements. Thanks for making a great product! 👍TCT
Thanks tony. Really appreciate all the support
I've been talking to friend 400 miles north of me. He likes the Axis model. I like the 1222. A man can stand at both machines. The 1222 is easier cost affordability but more work. No conveyer though :-( The conveyor makes processing way easier with the Axis. Your machines are wonderful.
Can I find pricing on your web site ?
Hey Andrew, I love the vertical split concept. We used a homemade horizontal splitter I built for years. Had a log loader on it, but it was a deathtrap and I'm lucky someone in the family didn't get maimed or killed. When I retired in 2015 I bought a Northern Tools deluxe 37 ton horizontal splitter with a GX390 Honda and that motor has never worked hard a day in its life. Have no idea if it puts out 37 ton, but it splits gnarly buckskin black oak like butter. Still say if I had to do it over again I would be knocking on your door. Good videos and great content, keep them coming!
This here be a “Good B@st@rd!” Honestly mate, you’re right, be straight up with the consumer, cheers mate! You’re officially a honorary Kiwi! 😁😁
Regardless of the brand I really think that you guys who produce these vertical splitters have got it right my back would love to be working standing up straight like that what a perfect design
Appreciate the support adam. Happy belated birthday!!!
I was way out on the backroads and saw a guy out using his axis. I stopped and asked if I could give him a hand and see it in action.. man that is one hell of a machine.
Appreciate the support sean
its like old school high end audio like the N.A.D. 47.5 watt receiver that sounds amazing!
I received my new 12-22 about 3 months ago and I have split about 150 face cords at this point. This machine has met or exceeded all expectations I had of production capability and allowed me to take my firewood business to the next level. Thank you Andrew and the Eastonmade team for providing tools for our shared success!! There will be more orange and blue in my future!!
Great to hear jason. Appreciate the support
Hi I’d love to buy the horizontal log splitter on this UA-cam video anyone know if they ship to Ireland
Once again. You are not normal my friend. Kudos for your honesty! Your company is going to be unstoppable with your ethics. The customer deserves you👍🏻👍🏻-TOA
Andrew, I always appreciate your honesty when it comes to this industry. These videos really help a lot of folks out there! Love your channel and your products! It’s always a pleasure dropping by the channel and seeing all the cool things going on at Eastonmade! Cheers! Andrew from NB :)
Very true. Tractor especially compact sub compact. Say it lift 1000 lbs like ok but put set forks on it and it only lift 500. It need to be real world specs. Great video.
I certainly like the adjustable return for the piston so not to waste time!! Well done and you're right about the other companies claims on rated tons! I for one do the math!
I love the cylinder comparison shown in this video. That 5" cylinder is a beast.
Powersplit just saying been 3 years still no gas tank to 4 calls to obtain a parts number called to get a replacement valve and they telling me they don't manufacture what I need so now have a 15k machine that's a yard ornament basically.i should have ordered a eastonmaed.
Sorry to hear that joseph
If I could afford this machine it is the one I would get. Thank you for you honesty and up front good information.
you make the best wood splitters
Thanks uncle cecil. Appreciate the support
Thanks for that honest review, Andrew. I wish all company's would be as honest as yours is. I hear nothing but good things about your products!
I have one of the others…. I ordered it with higher table, (34”). Barns 2 stage pump with 6.5 Honda ( no flywheel ). Without conveyor. Not very many tons…. Don’t really need big tonnage with a single wedge. Works fine!
Lots of manufacturers use numbers that are not obtainable!! Thanks for your Honesty on your products!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Thanks david
G'day Andrew, the 30 hp Kohler carby model that Lucas Mill were using on their 10 inch model was actually only rated at 27 hp 👍.
I run my business the same way.. honestly... I've lost about 600 cords worth of sales in the last couple months because of it... all because I don't have dry wood and I won't tell them it's dry until it is
You Lay it right out plain and simple , What I love is the fact is how much you care about the end user and you guys make a product that delivers Take care
Appreciate the support tim. Always great to hear from you
Enjoy your videos and the information you share. It's refreshing to get a dose of truth and reality in the world of lies and make believe that we now live in.
Good evening Andrew..
I love that splitter.. When you dropped one off to Gord I said now that is a great splitter.. I just stopped burning wood last year and I said if I was still doing it I would get one in a heartbeat…
It is a fantastic machine..
You out did you self…
Thank you for sharing..
As always stay safe and always be kind
Cheers
Thanks gus. Appreciate the support
Great video Andrew. Campbell and Hausfeld compressor tried the same thing years ago. They had a line of compressors ranging from 2hp all the way to 7.5 hp all on a 20 amp plug. A 5 HP on 240 would take 25 amps.
Man you can't piss what you don't drink. The Chinese manufacturers are famous for false advertising. Just look at King woodworking machinery. Eventually people catch on.
Keep up the good work.
Given the same HP and pump flow rate and pressure settings, We come to a quandary about performance. There are other things like flow restrictions in the system IE: larger diameter hoses and ports. The ton rating becomes a matter of cylinder size...larger in diameter it is , the greater the tonnage capacity. Cycle time is a function of the cylinder size also...the smaller in diameter, the faster it will be. 2 stage pumps, I believe is a necessity on a log splitter because you can get the the higher flow rates/low pressures for speed when you need them and the high pressure/ low flow rates for power... and it shifts when needed. The tonnage ratings from most other manufacturers are greatly exaggerated across the board. It's a simple matter of doing the math to see who's telling the truth and who's not. I'm an engineer so it's very simple for me to do. But, anyone that knows how to figure the surface area of a circle and the volume of a cylinder can do the math for any given cylinder and pump flow rate and pressure. The internet and a calculator is your friend.
At any rate, I love watching this machine in action.
They're a lot of fun to run!!!
We’ve got the same issue here in New Zealand. The log splitter ratings make no sense. Take a 3000psi max pump with a 4” ram gives 19us tons according to basic math. They call a 25t splitter. But here in everyone uses a similar exaggerating rate, so, strangely, you can compare the units again.
Hey Andrew ! I love your honesty in this industry ! I was talking with one of your sales staff at the Paul Bunyan show how and I really appreciated the way you approach this in your videos and business. Keep up the great work and awesome videos! CHEERS!
had a timber wolf boxed wedge made more of a mess than it was worth and would not splite eucalyptus ! sold it! running a wolf ridge thats ok for now! would love to have a ultra I could really show that ultra around california wood guys thay would love it!
Love seeing the Eastonmade splitters in action on In The Woodyard.
Thanks robert. Chris does a great job
1/10/23; Andrew I am not a wood cutter or splitter, but am impressed with quality equipment you are using in your machines. Also your (eastern?) Canadian 'accent', inflection, arm motions emphasis & staccato pauses make your videos... 'ear-grabbing'...maybe little bit unusuall..but always very plesant to hear! Your sincerety comes through! Now, it looks very cold outside in your wood yard, so before you begin to film for we YT viewers, what do you put in your coffee ☕ before you face the cold Canadian weather & 'warm up' before starting your camera? Son, you sound kind da 'wound-up'..but it's a 👋 good, human characteristic. Also I think if anybody is going to do firewood, man they need your complete log 🎢 rack, single (straight?) log feed into size selector, big round wheel cutter, then 6-8-10 (12?) piece splitter then conveyor to ...trailor..bunker..basket etc. That is absolutely the total package! Oops..forgot the operators enclosed cabin with all those controls. Just an awesome & complete package way to go! Thx Andrew for educating all we outdoor lovers on mighty fine wood splitting equipment..from small lift-it-up-to-you units..then you man handle it...all the way up to that commercial 'it-does-everything' unit. Phew, too much typing...now I gotta get some ☕!👍👍👍👏⚙️😊
Thank you for explaining the difference!
I was in today. Was hoping to catch you but you were out back making this video. Got a quick walk through of the plant. Pretty impressive. Had to use the credit card machine in the back office. Was lucky to get a single wedge in stock for my Ultra. Thanks Andrew for the video.
Should have come out and said hello!!!
Love the cut and dry presentation. I ll remember it if ever my 1980 iron and oak 22 ton ever breaks such that it is not repairable. Have you ever thought of upgrade kits and parts for other splitters that would help approach the cycle times of your splitters. Many people may actually pay up for your formula of performance that may not want or need or be able to afford a new machine? Or maybe that info is out there And I just have not found it yet not that I have really looked lol. Good luck in this new year of ours!!!!!
I needed to see that the blade return can be adjusted to save time. Very Cool! Reno
This is awesome..
Great video! I wish there was more businesses like you!
Thanks brian. Great to hear from you
I do not have either but yours and the wolf ridge are Both very nice built units
Some day I hope to be able to afford that beautiful beast. 🙏
Great work, ham much pump have liter/min
Chris says you’re the best and now I need one. Do you ever have sales?
Great video as always Andrew!
Thanks sandy. Appreciate the support
I can't even describe how much I wish you made cars. Seems like everyone in that industry just thinks vehicles are for selling a loan.
Thanks Andrew , always look forward to your vids 👍🏻
Appreciate the support dave
Love watching these videos.
This was really informative and well done. I have often questioned the big box store splitter ratings for tonnage and cycle times. Thanks for doing this video.
The good feeling of a great deal is gone long before the reality of the bad performance of the so called great deal. The reality is you get what you pay for. Congrats Andrew saw you reached another milestone in the subs.
Thanks gerry. Appreciate the support
As always honesty is the best policy! I am thrilled to own one of your missions! My 22-28 is a monster! Andrew do you recommend an attachable heater to pre-warm the hydraulic oil before use?
I dont think it would be necessary. We out aw32 oil in them. They dont take long to warm up
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters Thank you Andrew!!!
Another great and informative video. I have not run an Axis yet but have run an Ultra and the 12-22 and they’re both quick and smooth!
Appreciate the support heath
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters No problem, I started my channel for a few reasons and one was to help people. When I find a good product with a good owner and product support I am more than willing to let people know. There are a lot of great people in the Firewood community and Rachel and I are enjoying both learning from others and being able to help others out along the way.
Thanks for these comparisons Andrew! Keep up the good work!
Appreciate the support
Well said indeed!💪💪👍
that was nicely explained and well constructed,
Thank you
That splitter (side on) is almost as long as a limo! ;-)
I always say to buy once and cry once. So many times I have been burned buying the cheaper model, that it works out cheaper (in the end) to buy the best one right from the start.
Lol ran the limo yesterday. It was awesome
I don't know about all of the numbers and specs I just know that when I pull the trigger on my 48C nothing stops it! Great video! 🔥🪵
Appreciate the support ed!!!
Patiently waiting for mine!! Hopefully will be done late summer! Thank you Andrew for the great honest videos!
What was your lead time?
@@robj. 12months. I ordered mine last September
@@nickcr1312 So are you saying you've been waiting 4 months or 16 months so far?
4months
The only way to run a business is with honesty. Being shady won’t get you far, if you sell firewood or equipment!. So many people called this year because they have received “seasoned” firewood. It’s a shame that happens out there.
Appreciate the support reuben
I would really like have one of those log splitter
Keep up the good work Andrew 👍
Love watching eastonmade splitters in action!! Hey! Andrew any chance you could do a video running a 37d piston pump with attached conveyor, setting
machine up and splitting with box
wedge? Always look forward to seeing new videos keep up the good work!!
I can work that in im sure
Hey Andrew, a little off subject but I was watching DDDIY the other day & Neil Koch fashioned a led light holder on his Axis for splitting after dark. I wondered if you had any thoughts on maybe making something as a add on feature from the manufacturing side like this? Like a “option” when buying like the conveyor or whatnot. Especially for these short daylight times of year.
Thanks! Good stuff
Ok I need one Andrew 😊
Great video Andrew. 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Thanks god bless
Great video as usual
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello Andrew, I’m a huge fan of you and your splitters. I love the Axis. Would you consider making an electric Axis?
I'd be willing to convert mine to electric if the option became available
Should have one done in the next month or so. John just finished up the drawings today
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters Would that be single phase?
Apples for Apples! industry standards!
Someday Andrew come around
Awesome
I ordered an Axis without the conveyor plus electric start. I have seen some videos lately about putting lights on an Axis and it was suggested by an Axis owner that you offer a light kit (at least for the horizontal machines). Is it an option for the Axis? Looking forward to a call soon to finalize my order.
You may see it in the future.
That’s a sweet machine. What are your current lead times on an Axis with the conveyor attached? Great video Sir!
Around 12 months right now
The ONLY way I would run a 30 ton vertical splitter is with a remote. If you ever had something kick out at you at 14 tons, the thought of 30 tons is concerning!
This is true.
Any chance that you will be going back to a Honda motor any time soon? The B&S Vanguard is the sole reason that steers me clear of an Axis right now.
Otherwise, i believe it is the top vertical splitter on the market.
No....we've had really good luck with them
Ok. I plan on coming to the Boonville show. Hope to talk to you then in more detail, if not sooner. Thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated!
I can't get on the website for some reason
When are you going to build a band sawmill
Thanks Andrew, there is a lot of misinformation out there.
There sure is. Appreciate the suport mark
Why don't you put the big cylander on the upright axis
Thank you. I would like to know if you make a 30 ton axis. I have been wondering about this cause I been watching and listening
Its not necessary. The axis will split whatever you put on it.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters thank you for the reply. Well I guess I need to order one then. Will you put a tx emblem on it
And a Canada Maple, leaf two that way I’ll have the only one in us( especially in Texas)
I gotta try 1 out sometime
You'd have a blast running one lonnie
First impression 👍Eastonmade 👍12-22👍👍
Can you put a log lift on both side on the axis if you dont do a conveyor?
It could be done. But we wouldnt do it at the factory
Andrew I really appreciate you and your feedback on the tonnage for splitters. I’m an inpatient person so I couldn’t weight for how long it would take to get a log splitter from you guys. In all I really want a 12-22 or a size smaller from you guys. Been my first choice since I started firewood
I'm going to sell my 12-22 this season. It just sits since I bought an Axis. Has single, 4, 6, and box wedge. Does not have a pull back arm nor the pusher that would attach the arm. I'm told it can be configured for a pull back arm. 10,500. Eastern PA.
Just a question , not a knock. It appears your cylinder is tilted, is it, or just the camera angle?
Just the camera angle. Its perfectly square.
Wood spitter and chainsaw are some time are not true on there number 😊. Andrew you just keep put out a strong wood spitter with strong Steel and welder all that counts.
Thank leonard. Appreciate the support
Andrew have you ever thought about making a four way to replace the single wedge on that or a 6 way. Just curious if it would work on that piston.
We wont do it just for the sake of safety
How does it handle real wood? I can split pine with a hatchet! Let's see some hedge, hickory or any of the oaks. Not water oak??
Could someone order an axis with the setup mirrored to load rounds on the left and discharge to the conveyor on the right?
we wouldn't normally do that no
How big is the pushrod in the 5 inch Cylinder
4.5
Looking hard at your axis for my bundle wood business. What your leed time
Right now its 6-8 months
are you going to upgrade the piston?
How many tons would the average person need in a splitter? I keep seeing higher numbers every year but why?
I like your products but I’m just splitting for myself.
Reallu depends on the design of the machine
14 ton splits anything worth splitting IMO...love my Axis
Thanks cliff. Appreciate the support
what is the height of the axis, please
Simply stated: a more inefficient process I cannot imagine...if the goal is minimal touching/handling of the wood, how is this anything but a major fail.
Not quite sure what to say to this. Its been a while since i have watched the video in its entirety, however i typically state that there are significantly more efficient machines, but hardly any that offers more precision. Thank you for your feedback
This machine against Wolfe Ridge 17vsc. Who wins?
I would imagine that performance would be pretty close to the same
Hi Andrew I’d love to buy that horizontal splitter would you ship to Ireland
Yes. Get in touch with ian gregory www.logsandsaws.co.uk
