We change out the tall 4 way wedge for the 7 way pizza box wedge and fill a large tote in under 20 minutes.

Liked how you used front loader to lift splitting wedge & installed a different wedge on your splitter. Your working smart & taking care of your back. Good watch.

We loved our 22-28. Great machine. Sharpening the wedge makes a huge difference. Love the grizzly bars.

Good video 👍 Your getting pretty good at switching out wedges 😊 Glad to see that your sharpening your wedges. We were religious about sharpening splitting axes and wedges because it made a world of difference when hand splitting. Logically using a processor that mechanically is doing the same thing, it's gotta help.

It seems like DIY grizzly bars are the must have accessory for the attached conveyor Eastonmade splitters. Andrew and crew might want to offer them as an add on.
@oldguyfirewood5 ай бұрын
Eastonmade doesn’t offer grizzly bars on any conveyor under 24’. I’m thinking it might be a safety issue because they hang down too low. That’s just speculation on my part.
