What an awesome machine. The video could be an ad for Eastonmade, because it's that's good. Your production skills are reaching new heights. Can't wait for the follow-up vid on this.
GOOOOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!! Please pray 🙏🏻 for the folks devistated by these hurricanes… WOW 🤯!! Adam, great video & man oh man what a machine. Looking forward to a follow up to see which direction he goes. Very impressive Have a day
I'm like you Adam. I'll never have a use for a processor like that but I throughly enjoyed the video. Some real pros talking about a well engineered machine and discussing the pros and cons in an objective way. Great video.
Seems like the splitting head to stacker belt transition could be reworked a little as pieces were falling on the ground and needed workers stationed at this area.
Seem like they should have the wire baskets right under where the machine spits out the firewood to avoid the way, way too big unnecessary conveyer belt and truck. All the efficiency lost with the unneeded conveyer and the truck!
@@benroberts8489probably only can fit so much in the kiln before needing to wait for it to dry which could take weeks and probably want to split more at one time than what the kiln can handle plus if they split it and store it it can dry naturally avoiding unnecessary costs of kiln drying and to store that much would require thousands of those little baskets which aren't cheap and would require someone constantly replacing empty and full ones under the processor so basically wouldn't be efficient at all plus he probably bought that conveyor used and didn't care how long it was if the price was right and as far as wood falling off the conveyor well this was just a demo so they probably didn't worry to much about an optimum setup 🤷🏽♂️
@@benroberts8489BTW they literally explained exactly why they didn't have the baskets right under the processor in the video when they were loading the baskets so not sure how you missed that?
how in the heck did I watch this 43 min video in 7 minutes... :) that was so fun to watch and I love the analytics... I approach everything like that... can't wait for the break down!
Great video Matt, Marc, and Adam. All around great to see all the factors and hard work that the EastonMade crew has done to make the most out of a big investment makes sense. A new approach that Andrew has been doing for a while now, making a great machine that makes sense to invest in that will make money and keep going for years to come with proper maintenance. Can not wait to see the follow up video. Great videography Adam, a talent even an accountant has shines through. Time to cut and grind the numbers before they find a loose shirt. 😉👍🏻👍🏻
This was fantastic Adam. I really enjoyed the comprehensive walk through on that kind of machine that has so many features. Like you I will never probably run anything like that let alone have a need for it but it sure is interesting! Thank you for bringing this content to us.
I love Eastonmade products Andrew makes sure that every single part on the machine is the best of the best that he can get his hands on ! I mean, look it has a cat engine! You can also add look at the people that he has representing his business you couldn’t ask for more knowledgeable guy.
Well, I'm not getting out my checkbook just now, but a larger part of me is envious of that being the position Matt is in (not implying he didn't work to get there - just that he has been on that path). Very informative and interesting video as always!
Gotta confess that I have been skipping all your wood processing videos and ran out of pond videos to watch and said “what the heck…”. Like you, I have no likely situation of ever buying one of these units but absolutely loved watching the demo. It was established in what and why the demo was being performed but also did a great job of hitting highlights and potential reasons to do things differently. My biggest “critique” has to be that for a machine that eliminates manpower, this demo certainly exposed how important establishing a good conveyor handoff is [I know, it was a demo using CPE conveyor]. I’m looking forward to the spreadsheet video that describes how to review and analyze the data beyond just gut feeling….heading there next.
This video is exactly why smart guys like Andrew from Eastonmade and Chris from Wolf Ridge MFG partner with UA-camrs, Mark is an Awesome and knowledgeable ambassador for the product! absolutely stellar video Adam, this video will definitely sell equipment 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Looks like a nice machine. I love the rotary saw blade, that alone would speed up production. I would think if you want production you would want an enclosed cab for the operator. TY for sharing the video. Dave D from Maine.
In our country we would use the valuable „what you call waiste“, shred it and press pelets out of it. So after making pelets, they are well loved by owners of modern wood burners for absolute efficient heating a house or warm water production
This was a great Video Adam the 48c is a beautiful beast ! It is almost cheating using the 48C with these huge straight log piles LOL with a little seat time this will be a parking lot in short order ,on a side note I was a little shocked the Log truck operator kept swinging the logs and then the boom over the cab of the processor , things happen hoses break ,human error be a pretty expensive oops when it isn't necessary . In my opinion the speed at which this machine makes firewood is so fast the time you save in production will make money fast enough to outweigh the little scrap left over . What a dream set up a mountain of straight logs and a new Eastonmade doesn't get any better ......
Don't let that nation wide retailer dictate that you sell them everything that you can produce. At the end of your contract they will drop the price they are willing to pay to nothing and will go to another supplier who is willing to give away profit to get in with retailer. Keep supplying the customers who helped you build your business. I've seen it happen more than once where suppler puts all their eggs in one basket.
You make me think I'm watching how it was made (and I mean this in a good way)!! Really impressive machine and excellent overview of how this machine efficiently processes wood. Now the big question is, how log would it take this machine to fill up a pond :-) Love your content!
Pretty slick machine! I'm a little surprised by the lack of electronics available to the operator, like an LCD with oil temperature, pressure, machine run time actually splitting as opposed to idling, and a few things like that. Interesting that the bypass valve is manual instead of electrically operated. I also noticed there were two pieces that stayed jammed in near the top right of the wedge for a while.
@@jamesbainton That's not the same thing. That's a simple engine monitor, and doesn't count strokes, hydraulic pressure, or anything related to the non-engine portion of the machine.
Very interesting video. I’d be interested in how the Eastonmade wood processors are built. Would it be possible for you to make a video at the factory?
I had the opportunity to try out the 60c when Marc stopped in at my yard.. I tried to run the oversize we seem to run into.. though it had no problem cutting or splitting it through the 16 way kinda wish I would have ran a few of the nicer logs just to see
It seems that the hydraulic pre-heat valve could be operated electronically so that the operator doesn't have to get back out of the cab. I say that because I am a lazy old coot, but I love the machine!
Ok, the bucket of what you call waste is some of the best kindling. It dries fast, hand full in the stove, off it goes. There is a market ,if you bag it, it will sell.
From my reclining perch it seems that two giant whirling blades of destruction would increase production substantially. Dropping two blades simultaneously and having one big ram push for two rounds dropping instead of two small ram pushes seems like a no brainer
not to say there are no engineering means to avoid it, but just off the cuff analysis... a "loose" piece of wood equal in length to the space between two spinning blades is a recipe for disaster. Any slight change in orientation could make it a substantial projectile.
During periods of high air pollution, known as "Spare the Air Days," most areas in California prohibit wood burning in fireplaces due to regulations aimed at reducing particulate matter emissions.
Great video, other than the "music " much rather hear engine, saw crunch of the wood, any or all the above. But thats just my opinion 😂very interesting and impressive
really dumb question? do the they offer a electric swap instead of the engine? if you are doing production yard work it feels like that would be a good application for electric hydraulic.
Having grown up in the far north-east corner of Washington state there were only 2 possible options for work - farming and logging. I'm in my mid 80's now so the only "machines" used in logging in those days were chain saws. Thank heavens I didn't use one. My father was a builder during the summer months, so I knew about 2x4s etc., and that is all. Now, I must ask the question and I'm not trying to embarrass anyone, but, what does the "all-in-one" machine cost? To get one I will probably need a payment plan. Thank you for a great and educational video. Regards, James Giovannini
Only issue I see is the amount of wood falling off the chute after its spllt before it lands on the conveyor. Not sure if something wasnt set up properly or what.
Don't you also have a processor (the firewood guy) that is used for doing short rounds for pizza oven and to avoid resplitting that you recently purchased? Im wondering if you could set that machine at the reject door of this one to feed rounds to that machine while also operating this one?
Great video. I will never own a processor but like to watch them run. He runs a mulch yard too so if he ueses the scrap over there is it a loss? Just asking.
Would it not be counter productive to have to have two guys standing at the bottom of the conveyor to pick up all the wood that falls off to the sides??🤔
The junk wood possibly isn't as bad as it actually looks. It probably should be weighed as the stuff that is being rejected is fluffed up somewhat and has a much lower density to what the good splits are. I wouldn't be too surprised if the waste wood from a couple of cords was actually equivalent to a wheelbarrow load of salable wood.
Just out of curiosity why does the log loader crane operator not swing the longs over the open lot to the front instead of going over all the equipment
Ya but got more power with diesel and the cat motor has power just like my heavy equipment for earth moving and loaders I like to play in the dirt and get paid to do it 24:19
All of the waste could be chipped and sold for mulch. A lot of people are using wood chips in gardening these days. I live in Florida so firewood is not that big a deal here and most of the stuff I get is not reliable for firewood, unless it is old stock bundle wood that cost an arm and a leg !
This is more professional tools! The previous video I saw was much too slow. There are no "trash" from this maschine. The "trash" is perfect for making the fire.
It’s too bad Easton can’t figure out a way to put a couple of wraps of plastic around the split wood before it hits the conveyor belt. Unless you have a separate machine for doing so, I’d imagine it takes a LOT of human/manpower to create those wrapped bundles!
With all the technology why don't they have a onboard computer to figure out optimum cut length a little more or less than your preset cut length over entire length? It would eliminate your waste at the end.
Are old processor does more wood than that are has fins on the machine so all split wood goes on conveyer belt a constant firewood supply on conveyor belt would of filled that trailer up in no time 38:20
Give Matt a week of run time on a new 48C and bring your old processor to showdown any day! In fact send me your contact info and adresss and I'll come to you some day...
Save the crotch-wood for me and my little splitter! We never see nasty hard-to-handle twisted pieces run on high output splitters. Splitting saw logs is silly!
left hand does nearly nothing. Would be much easier to operate with controls for both hands. Pile of scrap is concerning.Manufactures protect operators from circular saws with very restrictive access to spliter functions .Make sure to try Multitek before calling this one!

Excited to see the second video. This was an interesting demonstration. I liked the visual of the “good” wood towards the end.

Take a look at Adam's other videos of Matts complete operation, they waste nothing.
WASTE. PELLETS.

Brilliant,👍
Looks like adding a skirt on either side of the conveyor at the start would keep the wood on the conveyor.
either they to smart ass to not testing it, or it has another purpose like for side container collection
That isn't a conveyor that is designed to work with that machine - just what they had already in the wood yard.
It also states on the machine not to stand there and there was a guy on both sides.
I used to work in the plant that built that Prentice A frame. Zebulon NC.
I had the opportunity to try out the 60c when Marc stopped in at my yard.. I tried to run the oversize we seem to run into.. though it had no problem cutting or splitting it through the 16 way kinda wish I would have ran a few of the nicer logs just to see
A no hop out button to open the warm up valve would be nice
WOW! Thanks for the extra effort in letting us see this monster at work! Be well, be safe!
That’s a lot of logs and money setting there to turn into more money 😊😊😊. I think I would have turned it around to be closer to the pile of logs 😮

Now just need to loose the aggregate conveyor and get an Eastonmade 40’ unit with the gorilla bars.
How far did this machine have to travel for the demonstration?
Looks like it needs more structure around the conveyor belt to keep the wood on the belt vs paying 2 guys to grab overflow.
Needs more warning stickers on the operators front window.
really dumb question? do the they offer a electric swap instead of the engine? if you are doing production yard work it feels like that would be a good application for electric hydraulic.

How did the lower pond recover water after filling the main pond ?
Biggest disadvantage for a business is that it needs Diesel, would be better if electric and maybe that's an option.
@@thereplacementfordisplacement yep, they can make em electric I believe. Some guys have them indoors in a barn or shed
Electric drives is available.
Ya but got more power with diesel and the cat motor has power just like my heavy equipment for earth moving and loaders I like to play in the dirt and get paid to do it 24:19
Should it not be set to move your log ahead as the splitter pushes . Would increase production by a lot.
if they fix it so that one man could operate it then i would buy one
37:12
You got it wrong, it's a "Mooo point".
What’s with the bits falling off the sides though.
All of the waste could be chipped and sold for mulch. A lot of people are using wood chips in gardening these days. I live in Florida so firewood is not that big a deal here and most of the stuff I get is not reliable for firewood, unless it is old stock bundle wood that cost an arm and a leg !
If they have walnut trees down there don't use those chips have acid in them and would kill plants and ruin soil
Speaking of less waste, doesn’t that circular saw waste lest wood (sawdust) than a chainsaw?
Probably similar as they have symilar kerfs. Sawdust from a circular saw can be packaged and sold as beeding.
EPA has been trying for the last 10 years to get rid of outdoor wood furnaces.
This is more professional tools! The previous video I saw was much too slow. There are no "trash" from this maschine. The "trash" is perfect for making the fire.
It’s too bad Easton can’t figure out a way to put a couple of wraps of plastic around the split wood before it hits the conveyor belt.
Unless you have a separate machine for doing so, I’d imagine it takes a LOT of human/manpower to create those wrapped bundles!
Matt kiln dries all his wood so that would not work.
That firewood burn up it 15 min.. bigger the better in my wood stove.
With all the technology why don't they have a onboard computer to figure out optimum cut length a little more or less than your preset cut length over entire length? It would eliminate your waste at the end.
Whoa, that’s wild!!! 🪵🪵🪵❤
Maybe put some big tubs on each side to catch the pieces falling out?
how much?
