Oh, that looks beautiful by the lake. Wow

[@bobpurs]

Another nice splitter. Nice blue sky behind you. Have a good weekend. 👍

You too Bob!

[@Lakecenterlawncare]

I just received my 12-22 eastonmade and absolutely love it. Best machines on the market. Love your videos! You are like the Mr. Rogers of the outdoors!

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good morning GP 🌞 Great wood splitter for sure and yes the view is realy nice for sure 👍 Have a great week end SIr Cheers !!!

[@GPOutdoors]

Cheers Dave!

[@henryrodgers3409]

That's a nice splitter . Just the right size for me . Not too big yet not too small . I like the catch tables on it . No need to be bending down and grabbing the splits . Just toss them in the trailer . The only problem is that Eastonmade make such a great product and that they are so busy that you have to wait until next spring to get one . LOL . I'm surprised that you still have your boat in the water . I guess you'll get to it when your ready . Great camera angles Gord . Take care .

[@GPOutdoors]

Good morning henry! LOL - just got it out yesterday - a little cold and rainy but busy lately. Glad it's out though. This splitter is getting a little more realistic I think. Still a little big for me alone but with Guy, Bob and Bill's wood needs it might make sense. We'll see how it does over the coming months. Hope you are keeping well. Take care Henry!

[@ohiowoodburner]

Looks like a strong machine. I like it. Good job.

[@spiritintheforest]

Wow, am envious because you split all that load without once bending over to do it! Too bad the rig is so expensive, need to find a model at half that cost.

[@vernonleenc]

Nice video

[@rohoroyarrington3224]

Nice splitter GP. What a beautiful looking day to enjoy looking over the lake and the fantastic fall colors. thanks for sharing. Have a great week...cheers

[@GPOutdoors]

You too Roy! All the best!

[@tractorman4461]

Another superior product from Andrew and crew !! Yes, a little more practical cost wise for non commercial use for sure. Nice view... all is mostly brown here. What’s odd is what’s not brown is still pretty green. Go figure huh. Nice splitter. Nice video. Nice Canadian gentleman too. LOL.

[@GPOutdoors]

Nice comments too, T- LOL! Cheers mon ami!

[@donmcconnery5080]

Another great review! Nice machine

[@jh9855]

I love cutting wood, splitting, then sawing the wood into stove length......many fond memories of working with my family on the wood detail. For many years, wood was our only source of heat. We now have heat pumps throughout the house and solar panels. But I am glad I had the experience of cutting wood, etc. Great video and nice wood splitter. Southern Maine has finally received some much needed rain. Now looking forward to lots of snow this winter.

[@GPOutdoors]

That sounds wonderful Jean. The solar panels must come in handy - the hydro power foes out all the time up here so having these panels keep the heat and electricity on all the time. Have a great weekend!

Hi from Allen and Brenda from canada nice wood slitter

[@tomwinegar1371]

Great video Gord. Tough way to start my day. The view where you are splitting the wood is beautiful. I could work with that view all day long. Thank you, have a great week.

[@jimspirnock1184]

Nice video to watch in the morning with a great cup of coffee. Enjoy your channel and keep up the good work.

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks Jim!

[@peterkober6758]

G P another good splitter as you choices are many good luck God Bless All PaK

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks Peter!

[@larrymayberry2312]

Quality machine that will probably do everything you need. Cheers

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great job Gord, Easton to the rescue!! That’s a great machine you have. Thanks for sharing your view with us today, it was so peaceful. Keep up the good work and videos,we appreciate you all.

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks very much Fred! Have a nice weekend!

[@randyteal3420]

I've had the 5-11 now for the past couple of weeks and am very happy with it. It has split everything I've fed it. I have no regrets buying it , expensive for the average home owner yes but in my books worth every penny I paid for it.

[@GPOutdoors]

Good morning Randy! Thanks for sharing the feedback. Great to hear. I have only used it once so far but we have some elm to split soon - I am looking forward to seeing how it performs. Have a great weekend!

[@sunjaybedi4389]

Good splitting Gord.

[@redeagle6842]

That model is more for the serious homeowner. Will serve you well in the years to come.

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks William. Yes, I think so too. I think you would need to be splitting alot of wood each year to consider a heavy build like this. We'll see how she handles the winter. Cheers!

[@mygrassisbrowner]

now that's a great looking splitter! Great job GP and kudos to Andrew for letting you and all of us take a look at this great looking machine. I know I just added another model to the list when comparing splitters for my property.

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks Steve!

[@JeepinMaxx]

Great review and great machine! I like that is made with the beefy materials like it's big brother. Of course the ram return feature is a time saver

[@georgemessner3171]

Great video! I absolutely enjoy your videos. This is a great splitter. I too burn firewood, I have mine delivered cut, I have to split and stack it. Your comparison of splitters has really helped me out in evaluating the options and sizes available. Thank you.

[@PurpleCollarLife]

I love those Eastonmade splitters! I haven't seen a splitter from any brand that I think even compares (from the videos I've seen).

[@mitch_smith]

I like the way those folks at Eastmade make equipment. Build it like a tank and it will never break. you know, it's much less "industrial" than the other, but still a monster of a wood splitter. I guess with the other unit gone, there goes my hopes of seeing GP's firewood at a retailer near me!

[@edwardkenny2356]

Nice looking and operating splitter. Seems like that one would be a good fit for your place. Thanks for another video, GP.

[@stanlancaster489]

tou have great camera good videos.

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks Stan!

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Look Right at home with that 5-11 Gord.

[@GPOutdoors]

She fit in nicely. Thanks again Andrew!

[@daveabercrombie3446]

Nice splitter! It looks like it would handle everything most guys would throw at it easily. The cycle time isn't as fast as it's big brother but it's not like a guy by himself is waiting on it either. It looks like a perfect fit for personal and/or light commercial use. Thanks for showing it to us.

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks Dave! All the best!

[@rcote1234]

Quite a splitter! They’ve really come a long way. Headed over to the EastonMade site to have a closer look.

[@GPOutdoors]

Good stuff. Cheers Rob!

[@peacefieldfarm_mn]

I am seeing some leaves on your driveway, Gord. Time to get that monster blower out again!! Nice looking and performing splitter. When I look at my home made model, which is about 20 years old, I get jealous, real fast! Great video. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

[@GPOutdoors]

It doesn't take long Michael. But hey it's still working and producing firewood! Keep warm and all the best!

[@BradMyers]

Finding the right size implement without breaking the bank can be a challenge at times.

[@donmacdonald7758]

Good one Gord, a little slower but gets the job done.

[@seather863]

I have the 12-22, the 5-11 with the 4 way is ideal for you and Guy. Great choice GP!

[@seather863]

Maybe I'll trade in my 12-22 for the 22-28 that you had there, LOL.

[@GPOutdoors]

LOL!

[@GPOutdoors]

Morning and thanks Seather! A little closer to reality I think (but sure was nice having the 22-28 and conveyor - spoiled). LOL. Cheers!

[@seather863]

@@GPOutdoors Enjoying your channel, keep up the great work!

[@bwillan]

That Andrew is a great guy. The 5-11 is a great splitter and more than enough for even the busiest property owner and his neighbours. I'll bet you miss the auto cycle feature of the 22-28 and the 24' conveyor too.

[@GPOutdoors]

He certainly is. And yes indeed - I do miss them. LOL. Back to reality...:))

[@jeffwhite2107]

I think that’s probably the right size for me I’m only gonna be cutting wood for myself 10 or 11 pick up loads a year All I have is a box store splitter now with no log lift. Plus they could probably put electric start on it

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

GP, liking the new product, looks good + practical for a 'one man' operation with the log lift and all. At my point in life's time line now splittin wood, I feel that the 'Log Ox' would better suit my needs. (and wallet !! LOL) I would like both! You do great demonstrations and tutorials on your channel ! Stay healthy. Good stuff !!!

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks kindly John! She's still alot of splitter for sure. I'm looking forward to using it through the winter. Stay safe!

[@regsparkes6507]

Yes, I agree that that model is generally the one for my use too. It will 'handle' all the rounds ( or 'junks' , as we call them here ) that you and I will want/need to split. Thanks to Andrew Easton and of course you too Gord ( mostly ) for this demonstration.

[@GPOutdoors]

Great to hear from you Reg! Enjoyed it - a little lighter and smaller - we'll see how she weathers the winter. Hope you are doing well. Cheers!

[@regsparkes6507]

@@GPOutdoors Yes, time will tell,..that applies to me too. Hahaha!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? That looks like a better sized splitter for residential needs even though it's listed as commercial!! It sure is beefy. The log cradle looks to be 1/2 steel!!! Hard to damage that eh!!! LOL The stabilizers are nice too, as they will hold everything nice and level. Pretty nice unit and will split any kind of wood I would throw on it!!! Take care and thanks for sharing!!!

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks Grampie - a little closer to reality for me I think. We'll see how she does over the winter. Keep warm my friend!

[@thatguyc5899]

Eastonmade makes some impressive products, I would say this is still serious overkill for anything below commercial production. If you have a chance to test out their Ultra unit, please do. I also like a company called Wolf Ridge, made in Wisconsin, very similar design and build. I checked out some Timberwolf products, but they seem to have fallen behind the other two companies mentioned above for this sized product. The other consideration is once you reach a certain capacity you need to add the conveyor to keep up with the efficiency of the splitter. The conveyor costs as much as the splitter. As always, your experience and analysis are priceless.

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Nice video Gord, I hope everyone appreciates the effort made in your videos =) I do lol

[@GPOutdoors]

Good morning and thanks very much folks! Hope you are keeping well. Stay safe and all the best to you both!

[@ronalddean4834]

Hi G.P. this splitter is a bit more realistic for the average home owner. Good looking machine but I do miss the automatic loading ( my laziness is showing ) haha . Great video thanks for sharing have a wonderful weekend

[@GPOutdoors]

LOL! Me too. Was fun having the conveyor. Getting a little closer I think. Thanks and all the best!

[@mitchz.6234]

Hey GP...that's another great working splitter...but have you seen the Eastonmade Axis splitter with the 8'conveyor? It's a vertical splitter and is quick. Easy to move around the wood lot.....Keep the vids coming!!

[@GPOutdoors]

Morning Mitch! I have indeed. It looks pretty nice - all-in-one, so to speak. Have a good one!

[@marclauzon1882]

Splitting wood with GREAT equipment next to that beautiful lake on a perfect day - what’s not to like ?

[@dustinlaford3498]

Good morning

[@GPOutdoors]

Good morning Dustin!

[@jameshalliday412]

Looks like another great splitter, but far out of my (and probably most of your subscribers) price range. $7,000 - $9,800 listed on the website is a heck of a dent in the wallet! When I tried to add one to the cart to see what was included in the base model it would only start at $9,000. (Not sure what happened to the $7,000 version...) After tax (and probably shipping) it's well over $10,000. Maybe an "investment' for a group, like you've got, but I think most of us will have to settle for our sub $1,000 27 ton gas splitters we get on sale! There's a lot of stuff I can get for that $9,000... That difference is slightly more than I paid for my 66" HLA grapple, 84" BE box blade, BE 4800lbs. pallet forks, BE rear auger (with 6" and 12" bits) and Woods 84" rear snow-blower combined! However, it's slightly less than I paid for my Ferris mower this year! I guess it's all relative. If you spend 10+ hours a week splitting wood (like you guys), or 10+ hours a week cutting grass (like I used to), you starting making deals with the accountant and start calling these depreciating assets "investments". : ) Always fun to see how the other half lives, though! (like with that Ferris blower!) Glad you get a shot a playing with all this fun stuff! Keep up the great work, Gord!

[@GPOutdoors]

LOL! Good morning James. So true. Everything is relative for sure. But yup, it is awfully nice getting to try out things here, and hey you get to see them too. :)) Cheers and all the best!

[@bobbennett3153]

Yes that's definitely the size wood splitter y'all need my only additional suggestion would be to use your pallet Forks for the rounds to sit on to lift into place. Save your BACK !!! Remember your mother never sent you with replacement parts

[@lorenfassett3965]

Hey Gord; I have had a deluge of leaves blowing in here from the north. I ordered up a stout wind out of the south yesterday hoping to blow them back north, but not a lot of success. Next time you fire up the leaf blower aim it north!!! HeHe. That looks like a very functional splitter, but as others said, the price will buy several years worth of heat for your home and shop. By the way, when are you going to build that shop/man cave for yourself and your buddies??------------Loren

[@GPOutdoors]

LOL! I was wondering how they all came back the next day. :)) Yup, commercial splitter - commercial build, commercial price. But sure enjoyable to use. One day my friend - I keep looking over at that clearing picturing a big garage and shop - large doors on it and heat inside. LOL! Cheers mate!

[@randthompson5716]

Gord, about time for some shots of the wood shed dontcha think?

[@GPOutdoors]

Morning Rand. Sadly, it's on hold till next year. Wood is still scarce and the prices have soared. I was really looking forward to cleaning up the back area. Hopefully wood and pricing will get back to normal come next year. Cheers!

Who has north of 5 grand to heat their home? ... only those who expose our weaknesses as consumers. Gord you do a great job at disguising the truth however it is what it is and we can only afford what we can afford.

[@GPOutdoors]

Good morning Mike. Not intentional by any means - I tried to cover that very point in the introductory comments of the video - "lots of choices at different price points". All things considered , this splitter is a commercial grade unit so going to cost much more than a consumer grade for sure. Like many things, folks will determine what they need and how much they can spend and work from there, I guess. Thanks for the comment this morning - always appreciated. Have a great weekend!

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

the type of splitters shown are for large scale personal like 20 cords a year for one house but mostly for making money selling firewood

[@wayahedia9989]

Far too expensive though. I've been seeing this splitter all over youtube. Yes, it is a beautiful piece of gear but.. way out of most folks' price range.
