Eastonmade; 5-11 Full Cord. Big Channel Announcement.

[@frankhampton1837]

Watching you handle those rounds .makes a old man tired. I can’t do that any more. That is why I had to go to a different wood splitter.

[@stone8597]

Sorry, but don't thank us for the support. The support is deserved...you've earned it.

Hard to soar with the eagles if you run with the turkeys. You guys have helped build a great community here. The support is very much appreciated.

[@michaelbaumgardner9493]

Good evening. Really impressed by the 5-11. Appreciate your time advising us,breaking it down if you will. Be safe.

I actually just ordered this model this morning from Justin seems like an awesome guy can't wait to get it.

[@davidcarrow5419]

The 5-11 is all the splitter most people will ever need. I would want the auto cycle valve as I could use that time to get next round being a senior my cycle time isn't the fastest. Great to see the pickroo being used it's a back saver

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

The 5-11 with the autocycle is about as fast an anyone would normally work. The pickaroon saves a lot of sore backs for sure. Really appreciate all the support david.

[@aldiminico6513]

Morning Andrew. That splitter is fast enough for me. Love the monster push plate👍 keep up the good work🪵

yes Andrew i saw it was yellow birch and i have a lot of it on one of my wood lots here in Vermont love it some of it is stringer then hell and some is so nice it split's like butter

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Its weird wood like that. Some of it splits great and some of it just tears apart. Thanks for all the feedback and support john. Really appreciate it

[@markluxton3402]

I want one. I need one....weeks ago. I can't afford one :-( I have been studying current wood splitters, looking for as good or better, than our "family" splitter. This 5-11 is what I would imagine as a dream machine upgrade. Needs the automatic return, to save some time. Probably safer though when you have to hold the handle, when pushing forward.

[@trentwatts8670]

Man like Iv always been taught having the right tools for the job and you’ve definitely got the tools makes things almost easy and in this case for me It’d be fun thanks for the video

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Having the right stuff makes it a lot more enjoyable. Thanks for the feedback trent

[@chrishicks493]

Always look forward to new videos from ya. someday i'll have a big orange beast in my stable!

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Thanks for the feedback and support chris. It's very much appreciated

[@bwillan]

One of those 3rd on the tractor forks was a yellow birch based on the bark. I'm thinking the nasty one was elm. I see Jerry 'with a G' and Cousin Mike were nowhere to be found to help you out with those monster sized firewood rounds. The 5-11 handles those like a champ. I would think that adding the auto cycle valve option for the 5-11 and you'd have a great splitter for the average homeowner that splits 5 to 10 cords a year.

[@n3qdz]

I’m surprised you don’t sell a boat load of that model. Think a video on that machine with a box wedge on it would be cool. I do have to say you swing that log rite pick like a golf driver! Super happy for the wait list! It just reaffirms your doing all the right stuff

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

I think it's just because we don't showcase it very often. I think it would fit most guys needs and price point. We have been really fortunate to be as busy as we are. Lots of great people to support us

[@BKD70]

I agree 1000% Speed sells, but how long can the average man keep up with a 12-22 before the machine is spending an unnecessary amount of run time waiting for the Human to feed it? I don't want to buy capacity that I can't use, if you know what I mean. Decisions Decisions... LOL!

[@GPOutdoors]

She's a nice looking splitter Andrew and very capable. Nice demo on it. Thanks for taking us along. Have a good Thanksgiving Weekend! Cheers!

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Thanks for all the support gord. Really appreciate it. Happy Thanksgiving

[@chrisbromley5400]

Hey Andrew, geat to see a 5-11 in action. I have thoroughly enjoyed mine and how efficiently it handles my wood pile every year even if it is one of your earlier models without quite as many of the bells and whistles of these newer ones. It always impresses myself, friends and family to see it work. Was disappointed that saw tech didn't happen this year for our yearly meet but maybe things will settle and it will happen next summer.

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Glad its still working well for you chris. Really great to here from you. Hopefully meet up before to long.

[@randyteal3420]

Yes I was thinking yellow birch as I a few in my current log load. I can attest to the 5-11s capability. Just picked mine up and am very pleased with it. It certainly meets all my expectations for my use being a homeowner. Makes splitting wood a real joy. Great job Andrew.

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Thanks for the feedback randy. Was great to visit with you. Best of luck with the new splitter

[@anthonybanda8192]

Your splitters are top notch! Those huge rounds were nothing for it to process. If you make 1 video a week during the winter you make all your wood at the same time . I bet you always have plenty of high quality wood to burn . Great work !

[@jaytysver8832]

I enjoy cooking over fresh cherry wood but due to very bad legs and back is where the box would work best for me

That piece that fell to each side, my reaction was oh NUTS, well that's the pc version.

[@kenmiller4981]

Andrew I think those were the largest logs I have ever seen split on U Tube. I sure like to have one of those 5 11 splitters. They are a really nice piece of equipment. I too would op for the auto cycle.

[@JohnNichols-os1mo]

Hi Andrew, I'm working on being a new customer discussing options with your salesmen. been checking out the 12 22. Thanks for showing the 5-11. I've seen your video using the Box Wedge with the 5 11 really impressive. I understand with Eastonmade lead time being long the demand is high. I''ve seen very few for resale or used. I've been lucky to see one unit (12 22) in Texarkana Ark. I'm looking to go into business Thanks for the Videos.

[@skeets6060]

I think that auto cycle would become very addictive !

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

It's really handy to have

[@gregmislick1117]

Red Oak and Hickory can also have that interlocked grain - Very nice splitter !!

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Hickory can be nasty for sure. Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it

[@silverlakelandcare7621]

Currently using a Chinese kinetic splitter and a tractor supply 25ton to do about 50 cord a year, thinking the 5-11 with a box wedge would be the perfect fit for my part time operation as I plan to do about 60-70 cord next year!

[@josevelasco3245]

The worst is Osage Orange….my God stringy as hell and tough. I need to upgrade to one of these

[@digbyodell2924]

Yeah, I thought it was black birch; we have some yellow here in west WI but it's almost all ornamental, and more bronze than that was, maybe because the ones I've seen are smaller.

[@robertframe7310]

I like your spitters

[@donaldpetrey3064]

What you did in 17:36 of the vid would be every round for me to split that’s why I need one of your machines. My true value machine with single wedge makes a single round take like 6-8 cycles of the ram I need to shorten this.

[@torkmonster8425]

That wood you asked about, is Birch FO SHOW, haha, that’s all we use in Thunder Bay 😜

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

You guys would have lots of it in thunder bay.

[@timberhitchllc]

@24:40 You can see a nice progression of a "built-in feature" of these splitters. With the machine not connected to anything, it is stout enough to scoot without hurting anything as the woodpile builds up at the discharge. If you have enough room and lay it out right, you can stack the rank of blocks along your route to keep everything close at hand and flowing nicely.

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Thanks mike. It really works well if someone doesn't have a conveyor and has the room to make a windrow

[@sawsurgeon]

Howdy Andrew. Simply put, I’m impressed. After using and servicing the Ultra you sent Joe’s Premium Firewood, I know who I’ll be contacting if I ever need to buy another splitter... You! Joe gets his share of hecklers about the Ultra, but I think I understand your engineering logic. As you stated “It’s not a machine for everyone”. But for the person who’s breaking down sub 12” rounds and doesn’t want to waste a ton of time waiting for the cylinder to cycle, it’s an awesome little machine👍🏻 Bless’ns to ya! Tedd

[@S_man89]

Awesome stuff Andrew. As soon as the listing are up I’ll look. If things go my way maybe it will work out. I don’t know but I’d love to have a go at doing firewood. People sell it all over but I don’t see many doing delivers or that kind. But I’m probably just looking at a pipe dream. But if nothing else it’s a fun hobby (wood working/forest work)

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Biggest thing is having a quality product and good service. If you have that you will succeed in the firewood business. Thanks for all the support seth

[@S_man89]

Eastonmade Wood Splitters thanks Andrew. I look forward to seeing the listings for the used equipment. Maybe I might have the opportunity to purchase one?

[@henryrodgers3409]

Love that 5-11 . It would be perfect for a guy who only splits a few cords a year . That's the one for me . Just put the auto return on and away you go . Can you put the trailer hitch on the front or back .

[@Wild_Bill57]

Wish you split some Locust, when I was younger, got free firewood clearing a 1/4 acre for a muffler place. Cut everything down except the locust. Dulled our chainsaw on it. Did a sharpening job on it, still couldn’t cut it down.

[@timberhitchllc]

@20:00 People are ALWAYS shocked when I'm slinging rounds like that up onto my 22-28. They never think the log lift will make it happen. They don't know what overbuilt/overpowered monsters these machines are.

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Thanks for all the feedback and support mike. Really appreciate it

[@michaelroberts1342]

Those big rounds make a lot of wood but they can wear a person out!!

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

That's for sure. Really heavy stuff to work with

[@danielniquette5187]

Looks like yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis). This kind of wood is common here in south Quebec. Note that yellow birch is rated at 26.6 millions BTU per dry cord while the white birch (Betula papyrifera) is rated at 23.8 millions BTU per dry cord.

Thanks for the feedback and support anyways steve. It's very much appreciated

[@howard5567]

Andrew: At 19:39 mins in the big round you were splitting, is what I said we crack down with the Champion vertical & horizontal. To keep down the chance of Workman's Comp claim. So on some future episode maybe you could split a 20" T by 40"+ on the the Axis? Even with my Champion it's no piece cake. (Thank You)

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

I'll give it a try for you howard. I still have some big ones kicking around here.

[@Twindadx2_]

Thanks Andrew! You have an amazing line of splitters and conveyors! I would love to add one of your machines to my property here in southern Ontario. Just graduated to a splitter last season after a couple of decades of swinging an axe. My hardware store 27 ton is a big improvement compared to swinging an axe but would love to get a hold of one of your units and conveyors. Maybe I could go from feeding my own outdoor wood boiler to selling some for some extra cash! Keep up the production and quality units! Maybe one day I will have the Eastonmade gracing my wood lot.

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Thanks a bunch for the feedback and support. I bet that splitter made life a lot easier.

[@Twindadx2_]

[@bullybluecoal1831]

Yes .... black birch. Edit: .... well I just have to after viewing the comments. It's still birch, just a little yellow.

[@TractorTech]

I was going to guess Birch, but I was not specific enough. Lowes has bundles of firewood, they have bundles of birch. All of the bundles are from Latvia. I can't believe we are getting firewood from overseas.

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Really? That's bizarre. Lots of great firewood producers. Can't see it being a huge cost savings

[@nothanks3462]

2 insane examples from the UK for you, years ago we learned that some Scottish cod gets sent to China, filleted and packaged, then sent back to Scotland for sale. To lower labour cost. Another was the export of general waste made into bales and sent to another developed country by ship to be incinerated in a power station. Cheaper than tax on landfill waste plus pollution legislation.

[@russellfowler2478]

I have a lot of yellow pine. How much power to split the logs.

[@samskeeter1]

I like this model, sure the cycle time is a little slower but like any machinery efficient operating has a lot to do with output. The machine still kept you pretty busy and you had prepared a nice pile of wood to work from before hand. Why have a faster one if you cant keep up with it ?

[@thesmallwoodlot433]

A friend always said the real test of something was to give it to the general public, and see what happens! In this case, some non Wood splitting person would try to split across the grain of the buck!

The ultra isn't for everyone. We build it to be bare bones entry model. Thanks for the feedback kay. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day

[@stone8597]

I purchased an Ultra two years ago. I'm a home owner and burn about three to four cord a year. I owned a 30 ton "big box store" splitter for eight years before that. I love my splitter...it splits better then my old one...way faster and more power. It does not have the lift but I have a tractor with a front loader. I fill the bucket with rounds, bring it over to the splitter and go to town. I just wish the Ultra would stack it for me.
