Awesome splitter! Rachel and I may swing by his place when we go to the Booneville show to give it a test run. Maybe we can visit you too. Cranking out the wood!

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Hello Heath, I didnt remember what splitter he said he had when he said he'd bring it by and closer to the date I asked and I was like WHOA! We're both right off the 401 in east Toronto, an hour and change off of your direct route through Niagara Falls to Boonville. Have you been to the Canadian side of the falls? Option B is to continue touring heading east from us along Lake Ontario to NY state. Not much to see until you get to the east end of the lake and explore the big bay, the historic town of Kingston and cross the St. Lawrence at the border. I'm always up for woodhound get togethers!, not many live here and are far between.

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Looks great guys!!! Glad to see james made it out to see you.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Thanks Andrew, this couldn't have happened without you!

[@scottm5036]

Nice video and thanks to both of you for showing your 37D in action, it powered through everything. I'm looking forward to seeing your next video using the 8-way wedge. I also have a 37D and it's been a strong dependable machine for our mobile wood splitting business here in Oregon. I'd like to add the Eastonmade guys have been helpful to answer any questions and the machine is very well designed other than the trailer. Your comments about towing were important and useful. We tow our machine regularly and it would be a huge improvement to have a better trailer platform and dedicated axle. Maybe someday they'll offer that as an option for those of us who do a lot of towing in our business model. We recently purchased a Wolfe Ridge 35SHO with Kubota diesel because it comes on a "better" trailer. And for sure, it has more stability, tows better and feels safer. We need to use it for a while to better compare the splitting power and abilities of both splitters. Thanks for the video, the 37D is a fantastic machine, Scott

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Hey thanks Scott. They really have something good going on over there at Eastonmade. I have a couple SpeeclCo single wedge splitters and I bring them to jobs to split all over Toronto and luckily I can put the machine right in my truck so I don't have to worry about towing as well. If I'm going close by, I'll tow it with my personal vehicle. Thanks for watching!

[@leonardryan8723]

37D beautiful splitter in your woodyard.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Thank you! Can't wait for the next visit

[@AndrewAntonelli-dj4qt]

love that machine, downsides are the wood falls on ground without a conveor and you have to produce, season and deliver roughly 60 full chords untill she makes you a penny. the guy with the ax makes a slower cord but he also makes a profit in his 2nd or so cord produced. alot of you guys seem to ingnore net profit. you are one of the few who deffinatly understands. i think somewhere in the middle ground is the sweet spot... cheers from massachussetts

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

You are right, a lot of equipment adds up in cost. I think James is an enthusiast who just splurged on a toy (not for business) so he's got no other expenses. I sold my conveyor which I wouldn't need 4 times a year at most the put the 6 cords in the 40 yard bin. Otherwise, I'd need it for 5 or 10 minutes once or twice a week. I got rid of my old skid steer too. It needed a motor but even if it was running, its just more to fix. I have three splitters, 2 trucks. Saw, wheelbarrows, shop, yard, plus living on my own. I'm used to covering many bases, but it's incessant financially and time wise. Even taking the time to buy gloves, fill up the gas can, buy parts, research solutions, tweak tools: it all gets to me. It's never just work, work, work, I have two uncles living in Massechusetts! I used to visit regularly. Cheers!

[@TonysCoolTools]

Anthony it’s dangerous having James bring the 37 D in your Woodyard. After he leaves you’ll be throwing rocks at any other splitter you use in the future. Looks like you guys had a fun and productive day. Cheers👍TCT

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Lol maybe not, I have the patience of a fisherman 🤣🤣 looking forward to the nedt trip, he said he's getting the 12-way wedge! Cheers!

[@jamesbainton]

Excellent video Anthony - it was agony working today knowing that this video was finally released. Thanks again for having me in the woodyard and we will certainly have to meet again soon. We have a few more wedges to try!

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Thanks man. I knew you were waiting for that chance. I'll call the next one "The Big Day"! Maybe we'll have to do an Eastonmade vs Beastonmade vid, although its obvious which one would win 🤣

[@JoesFirewoodVideos]

At least you didn’t wake up the neighbor living in a commercial area.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Ya, but next time we'll start earlier and have bigger and more wood. We were both behind schedule that morning.

[@TimStout71]

What a beast. I didn't see it even hesitate once. I would need a bigger wood yard and more customers to justify a 37D. Maybe someday. Have a good one Anthony.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Same here. I'd have to do big advertising. My sales have always been somewhat relative to my inventory Hopefully University Forewood shuts down if they dont sell. They do 6 figures in sales every year and they get their wood from the Mennonites. The owner called me for a scrap metal pickup and ibsaid i couldnt make it because i was delivery the 40 yard bin with 6 full cords and then she brought up the sale of the business. Thanks man. You too.

[@redpoole9323]

Awesome machine. I am gonna order one after the Paul Bunyan show.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

It's totally worth it, faster than all the other Eastonmades

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

Thanks for the demonstration, Anthony.. was also cool that James was able to come over too..

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Can't wait til next time!

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

That’s quite a machine. You got your work out that day Anthony. I’d say it’s just about as fast as the ultra. But the ultra needs a hydraulic wedge, in my mind. Have a great day.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

It had me on my toes, that's for sure. I could barely keep up. Looking forward to the next visit with the 8-way wedge. I'm starting to stock up for it.

[@wolley2012]

That's an extreme high level wood hound splitter.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

What an awesome machine...next time will be better with the 8-way wedge and apparently the 12-way will be an option. Thanks for watching!

[@jimbo5056]

That was nice of James to come to your woodyard with that beast. A 6 or 8 way would have been nice but resplits were still easy enough. Overall quite a session splitting guys.👍👍👍

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

For sure! I'm stocking up for his return with the 8- way

[@Living-The-Dream]

Way to go James, helping a fellow woodhound out ✔️ awesome splitter ! Nice video Anthony 👍👏😎 Rick

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Thanks Rick, we started late and I picked through the pile before he came so we didnt have as much wood as I wanted but we made the best out of it and editing makes it all the better

[@josephgrant9137]

Sweet. Thanks James. Great video friend.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Thanks man, It was a good day. I'm stocking up for his next trip.

[@josephgrant9137]

@@OntarioFirewoodResource I would too.

[@thisismine1426]

Very nice HD toy. Long term business model setup would make sense; unfortunately, current market conditions and economy does not justify cost unless manufacturer offers low monthly payments with in house financing. Fun video though. Keep up the great work. Thanks James & Anthony.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Definitely a beast! I wish I had known more about my business and Eastonmade earlier, then I wouldve bought one instead of building one. Hindsight is 20/20

[@SkidderKev]

Thats was awesome James finally made it to your yard. Hopefully James can make it out to our yard this spring or summer and I can test out that beast. As for that line that's to big on yours. You can get restriction fittings for it that just slow the flow down. Might be a cheaper option then changing the whole line.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Thank you! I try to come visit you as well. Time to meet some more woodhounds! Where is your woodyard? I already replaced those lines so it's all good now. Went from half inch to quarter inch

[@SkidderKev]

@Ontario Firewood Resource that would be awesome if you came up to check out the yard. Be nice to meet you. The yard is 15 mins north of milton. Send me a email and we will see if we can work something out!

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

@Skidder Kev ok, I'm now remembering that you mentioned where you are before. I'll send an email. Looking forward to meeting you and hopefully many this year.

[@thehogslogs8631]

Great video Anthony and James. Fun to watch the 37D in action. 🔥🪵🍊🔵

Thank you sir! It eill be even better next time around

For some reason I was thinking it was their new battery powered splitter?

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

I thought it was just an electric that they're coming out with

[@JoesFirewoodVideos]

Maybe you’re right and it’s electric?

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Anthony your spoiled now! 😂🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Gonna try to get a loaner and make it a double! 🤣

[@bwillan]

James still has the tag on his tall 4 way wedge. LOL It certainly took a while to get this video out. I saw a December 27 date on the screen.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Yup. Not many hours on this one yet. Almost three months behind. But I'll be catching up. I was filming so much content, almost every day of the week in fall, sometimes on weekends, sometimes on the weekends. Plus with the mild winter, tree cutters were still out in the first half of it before all the cold and snow.

[@jamesbainton]

Those tags aren't ever coming off! They need to wear off naturally.

[@bwillan]

@@jamesbainton better find some monster rounds to run through your tall 4 way wedge. ;-)

[@jeffwhite2107]

How long did you have to wait to get that🎉

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

The owner knows the answer to that, thats as far as I know. Thanks for watching

[@jamesbainton]

It was a 16 month wait; picked it up last July. However, I think it might be down by a few months now given that mine was during peak COVID.

[@yellowmetaldriver1460]

Is this a brand new 2023 model? It's missing the large hydraulic intercooler. Looks like they downsized it so tiny that it's in front of the radiator? That isn't going to perform the way the larger stand alone cooler w fan was. That's dissapointing, especially at these price points. There is such a lag in lead time that it seems impossible to.know what your going to get exactly by the time it's delivered.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

This is probably a 2022 model, Ask James Bainton in the comments about it, he knows best. Thanks for watching.

[@jamesbainton]

It is a 2022 model - but I don't think they really have a model year. The 37D and 24D run a piston pump which means that they already run cooler. So, I suspect that after the first few, they determined that the hydraulic intercooler wasn't required on these units. That would be a question for Andrew. However, I can say - the hydraulic tank doesn't ever really heat up that much and is only a little bit warm to the touch even after running it for extended periods.

[@adammoggysawmilling5164]

Does this fella sell firewood? He must to have a machine like that

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

No, he got it just for the cottage 🤣🤣 not sure if he does any at home. Considering most of the woodhounds live in the Midwest, in comparison, he's practically my next door neighbour

[@jamesbainton]

Hi Adam, I do some mobile splitting, however, it is more just a side gig. Some people have a fishing boat...I have a 37D. Cheers!

[@clarkharms]

Just wondering how much you charge for mobile splitting and how you advertise? I just bought a 12/22 and think I may try and get some work for my son this summer. I think $50/hr and he kicks back 10 to me for use of my machine.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

I myself rent out my SpeeCo for 100 per day dropped off and pickup up. I charge 50 Canadian (37 US?) when I do the splitting. My splitter is slow so you can get much more money than that. Not sure if James will get notified of your comment, bit message him saying that you asked a question in this comment section. Thanks for watching

[@jamesbainton]

@@clarkharms I typically charge $200 for the first three hours onsite (fixed rate). I try to only drive a max of 50km one way so it cuts down on travel time, etc. Then, $75 each hour after the 3 hours. I also try to give a firm price - people seem to prefer that. So, if I think the job will take 4hrs, then I will quote something around $275-300 depending on whether there is anything that will make it a PITA. Some things that would add extra time is that if I have to do any cutting, and moving of wood, or how much cleanup I would likely need to do once done splitting. That is roughly how I charge.

[@ianedwards8553]

Great machine! An observation, if I may, the 4 way wedge splits awkward. It’s as if the stroke of the cylinder isn’t long enough or maybe the horizontal blades should be welded closer to the vertical splitting edge. Seems like you are always trying to pull apart the pieces you split. It’s a 37 ton machine with a diesel. Should do a more complete split. Just an observation, not a criticism. Cheers!

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Yes it is! I've noticed the trend of putting some of the blades further back. I'm pretty sure that it's because you wanna spread out that pressure so that it pushes smoother and separates different parts of the round at different times. Also. How it should be ran is that the next round pushes out whatever is still lodged in the blades. The second man pulling them out is just getting ahead of the game. Thanks for watching.

[@DaleFarrish]

Most of the big fast machines are designed for pushing into a conveyor. so the next round pushed it out. Anthony is also right that setting them back makes for easier pop open. Another reason is so that the round stays stuck inline in the wedges until the next round applies pressure to it to push it straight thru the wedge. Otherwise the splits will sometimes flip back around and you have to stick your hand in to move them out of the way. That's why you see people grabbing splits out of the splitter all the time. Its a dangerous spot to put your hand and really no need as the next round will push it threw. I find that it's mostly new people or when you have too much help that they do this. Us one man shows are too tired to grab every split off the wedge.

[@robertblacksmith4355]

Nice machine looks new time to break it in Anthony

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

That thing will last forever because it's just for personal wood. Its still not even broken in yet!
