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

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Thanks jim. Really appreciate the support

[@pauln4417]

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

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Thanks for the feedback Paul. Different strokes for different folks. It would be easy if one size fits all

[@timberhitchllc]

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.

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day!

[@howardwayne3974]

Now for the real tough question , how much does it cost to : purchase , operate for a full days work , an maintain and pm ????

[@ThePete2432]

Box wedge makes some beautifully shaped wood... makes kindling at same time, I like it

[@ryanhager7985]

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

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Never split black jack before! Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it

[@henryholliday1]

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

[@dgallett60]

I'm in Oklahoma and my 22-28 should be here in October

[@mattbelote3296]

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.

I think it’s awesome that both attachments can be run on the same splitter

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Thanks for the feedback joe. It's very much appreciated

[@S_man89]

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

[@bwillan]

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.

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback. It is very much aopreciated

[@bhermon265]

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

[@kidphillyorg]

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.

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

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

[@kidphillyorg]

@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters the KZbin 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 KZbin 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. KZbin helps us share the information needed to get us to that place. 👍🏾

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

@@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.

[@michaeldestories3412]

12 way looks like it's much more efficient and seems like it'd be less wear and tear on the machine.

[@rnilazarev2553]

SUPER !!!! 🤝🤝🤝

[@oldstudbuck3583]

If I was still buying firewood I would pay more for the consistency of the box wedge product.

[@henryholliday1]

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

[@solarmaplehoneybee6626]

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?

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

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

[@offroadlife05]

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

[@matthewschnoor02]

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.

[@JPLawnsMore]

I use an old single wedge splitter. And it takes a long time. I’d be happy with a 4 way wedge 😂

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Every little bit helps!

[@boohanlon3305]

I would do some seriously crazy Sh** to have enough money for that unit with a box wedge. 🤌 absolute perfection.

[@grwesolek]

Hello, what hydraulic pump did you use to 3000rpm from gasoline engine?

[@johngiannetti.]

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?

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

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.

[@reneebaxter7925]

Hello, Can the 12 way be moved up and down like the smaller wedges? Awesome machine

[@coreym5072]

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

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Most guys go with the box wedge for that. The height is adjustable. Easily make 2x3 squares with it.

[@coreym5072]

Eastonmade Wood Splitters what model is that?

[@Wild_Bill57]

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.

[@stevethiel5838]

Is the box wedge adjustable height like other wedges? If so, how much? Looking for something for outdoor boiler wood, rounds 20 to 40”.

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Yes it does have an adjustable height. We also offer a 5 way box wedge that makes bigger pieces for outdoor boilers

Bonjour, C'est possible d'avoir cette machine pour la France ? Cordialement

[@michaelwortham6971]

How much if I pay for it all at once for 22-28 box weag

[@jeffthiem7710]

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

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

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

[@seather863]

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.

[@jeffthiem7710]

Seather thank you! We also can’t decide between a five way box wedge or the seven way

[@seather863]

@@jeffthiem7710 7 way will give you nice uniform for firewood, 5 way would be better for larger boiler wood.

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.

[@behemothwoodlogsplitter57]

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.

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.
