EASTONMADE ULTRA WOOD SPLITTER IS LEAVING THE WOODYARD!

[@oakrunacres2564]

Add me to the I bought my Ultra because of Chris club and I love it. Like a lot of guys I thought I needed a bigger model but the price couldn't be justified for the size of my operation. I didn't think the Ultra would be much of an improvement from my old box store type splitter. Then I came across Chris' videos and boy was I wrong. The Ultra has been a total came changer for me. My production is more than twice as fast as what it used to be. Long live Eastonmade! Dave

[@InTheWoodyard]

Great to here Dave!!! Keep splittin'!

[@BreakingWood68]

I bought my Ultra because of your channel too. Thanks for all that you do my friend. Have a great week.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks, nice splitter!

[@Dorchwoods]

Bought my ultra as well after watching this channel. I'm at a few hundred cords myself and I love it. The only thing I don't like is the bottom plate that bolts into the ram head and rides underneath the steel beam. I only split pine and I've broken multiple grade 8 bolts, they seem to loosen up over time. I've tried everything, including loc tite and lock washers with no luck. Luckily eastonmade has been awesome to work with and has sent me new push plates each time the inner holes get stripped from broken bolts 👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

I am on my originals yet!

[@pauliebaker2534]

I've been going thru your videos, really like the eastonmade ultra splitter, saving up to make it hopefully my first splitter here in SW PA.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Just order it now...you can thank me later! Thanks for watching!

[@davidedwards3734]

Congratulations on 60k!! Nice comparison of the two splitters. Great looking sticker....hint, hint!!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!!

[@robertdunning74]

Cycle time and dependability are the key also being pretty good on gas there perfect splitter for 80 % of people another great video

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, they work great!

[@chippychippy8291]

60k finally, (should be way over 100k). Congratulations!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!!

[@aldredske6197]

Hi Chris!!😀😀 The Ultra has been a very good machine!!👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

I think so too!! Thanks Al!

[@coreyriley7160]

G’morning Fellas ! Awesome show. Love the Ultra. Simple and very effective !! Love the shade mount. GoodNightIrene

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Sir Corey!

[@Alan_Hans__]

Very nice. Not a real lot of design changes over the years.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I agree! It was good from the beginning!

[@briannelson4493]

Great video Chris, congratulations on 60k subscribers and have a wonderful Labor Day

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thank you very much!!

[@oleberg4196]

Congrats on 60000 subs. If I got a different splitter it would be the Ultra. I built mine 30 years before they built the Ultra and they are surprisingly similar.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks, yup, they are nice!

[@Kalebspeir]

Great video, congratulations on hitting 60k keep up the good work!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks! Will do!!

[@bwillan]

Congrats on 60K subscribers. One of these days you'll have to arrange a split off with your friend Tyler that has the Brute Force Semi Pro splitter.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, maybe so! Thanks!!

[@calvinlaye7770]

Travis the man he keep stack up with wood great dude fr 💙💙💙

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!!

[@rickthelian2215]

Congratulations on 60k subscribers 😊

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Rick!

[@outdoorsinthe608]

Twin splitters! Nice to see what’s different between them👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!!!

[@grantsinclair4278]

My Axis is really just a vertical Ultra, as far as splitting goes. At 67 with Bone on bone knees and ruptured discs in my back, I love the log hydraulic log lift. The picaroon allows me to roll the logs to the splitter without too much bending over. Standing straight up while splitting is a joy! And if I have trouble splitting, which is rare, with a crotch, or knarley, knotted, tree serv. wood, I put them aside for the 40 ton County Line splitter, which is set up vertical. I recently sold one of the County Lines, which I had set up for horizontal splitting of the quarters or halves, from the other County line splitter that was set up vertical. I had a swivel stool and I would split the big rounds and spin around and stack them at the horizontal splitter. It worked out very well while waiting patiently for my Axis to arrive, which took 1 year, 2 months, and 20 days to get to Arkansas from Perth Ontario, Canada. The Axis was a real game changer! Thanks for the comparison of the Ultras Guys.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, the AXIS is a great splitter!

[@johnsandell4501]

Nice comparison but 60k is outstanding. Enjoy getting to 70k👍👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks a bunch I was thinking more like 300k-500k though!!!!

[@billobermeyer660]

Two boys just playing with their toys!! Great fun video, Chris. GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

You got that right!

[@robertblacksmith4355]

Nice machines 👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!!

[@a-verybasic2]

Thanks for the video, one observation I’ve noticed you tend to pick up smaller pieces off the table to split, seems this is an invitation for that piece to have room between the table for your fingers to get pinched as that wood will travel in any direction. Jmo.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, it can happen! I watch it pretty close!

[@papageo5]

I drilled out an 8 ball and jb welded it on my handle like a gear shifter. Perfect!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Nice work!

[@larryvankirk7423]

Nice video guys. Everything you ever wanted to see about an Ultra. GNI

[@InTheWoodyard]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jessejones9830]

Thanks for this Chris cause I actually had wondered if there would be much difference before I can get me one, I think he didn't catch a couple jokes you had.lol ha

[@InTheWoodyard]

You will like it just get one....I am a joke!!

[@thekiltedsawyer]

Great video buddy, good seeing to at another wood yard. Awesome Big Red, I have a 84 too. Come vist me in Utah when your out west

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks so much...I would love to come out there for some elk hunting!

[@danelionheart5881]

That looked to be a fun day.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, every day is a fun day!

[@mattwarner5909]

Love my countline hasn't failed me at all

[@InTheWoodyard]

I had one of those , good splitter, I wore it out and got the Eastonmade Ultra and started producing 3 times a s much wood in the same amount of time....time is money!

[@MarkMunson-jh9gd]

Great job on 60k subs!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!!!

[@toddpacheco4748]

Chris,they say great minds think alike 😮😊❤

[@InTheWoodyard]

I need to get one of those.....a mind that is!

[@roncaron-l1r]

Hi everyone nice video love it Chris Ty Ron

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Ron!

[@toddschumacker-ex1wd]

Great video guys! Be interesting to compare the Ultra to the Wolfe Ridge 17RS.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks...I shot that video yesterday with my old best friend Tony and his Axis!

[@brandonthefinanceguy978]

Awesome video!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks!!!

[@johnsonr9]

Great splitters, Until I hit the lotto or price for firewood goes up I'll have to get by with my 27 ton troy bilt spliiter-slow but great honda engine. Goog video.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I used to think the same thing for years but when I got my Eastonmade Ultra I was very limited on the production and volume that I could produce....I can now make 3 times as much wood faster and much easier....It is not an expense..it is an investment in more production and MORE TIME!

[@bentwedgestanleybrand5818]

Good morning everyone

[@InTheWoodyard]

Hello Sir Stanley!

[@mw1130]

Illinois here,ethanol free gas less than an hour away here(racing fuel) is 15.00 a gallon. I drive the hour and buy 10 gallons for 7.00

[@BeaverTownOutdoors]

That must be a PITA having to drive an hour for rec fuel. Here we have it at many stations nearby.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Good gas is a must for small engines!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, small engines need the good stuff!

[@kurtloftfield4537]

Good morning all!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Hello!

[@budlegallee4993]

Chris, please bring some of your stickers to the Green Bay show. I am picking up my new splitter there and it is naked without your sticker. Thanks, Bud LeGallee

[@InTheWoodyard]

I will do that!!!

[@KAMP8505]

We have 91 ethanol free here in Kansas. That’s all u use in my 4 cycle equipment

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, me too!

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

I'm running all corn here. The 2 closest stations are an hour away, and traffic here in Northern Las Angeles (Tacoma/Seattle) is horrible. Granted, I am running saws and splitters a few times a week, so nothing is sitting for long

[@InTheWoodyard]

Icky Icky stuff!!!! Get a supply and stock up on the good stuff some time when you can!

[@conormegan2824]

Congrats on 60 k . finally!!!!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thank you!!

[@fergusonto-2032]

I noticed you load & unload by hand , unless you use the dump trailer , that’s a lot of work but gives me hope because I sell a little firewood & that’s how I do it . I sell a Nissan pickup truck loaded full for $75 , I’m in southwest Va , lots of wood available, rural population .

[@InTheWoodyard]

I am fat and need the exercise!!! HA!!

[@fergusonto-2032]

@@InTheWoodyard you don’t look fat in your videos , I’m 5’ 10” , 150 lbs , lol

[@calebwright2377]

Next you need to have Bob bring you a 17 or 22 rs to compare head to head with the ultra

[@InTheWoodyard]

Funny you should say that he did and I did, you will see it soon!

[@calebwright2377]

@InTheWoodyard that's awesome I love my 22rs

[@ericbalza-zj9nm]

I don’t think I’d want to be 36 again. It’s kinda nice knowing I could retire any time I wish. Work slow and layoffs coming ?? I have a pension to fall back on. It’s not much but I ll get by on it if I have to. The biggest issue with ethanol is its short shelf life. It’s fine in things that get used on a regular basis. It’s bigger problem in seldom used things like boats that only get used a few times a year. I try not to use ethanol in my saws as I only burn a gallon or 2 a year. If I used them everyday I’d use lower cost gas. But that’s just me.

[@InTheWoodyard]

I would give up a lot to be 36 again...that is 26 more years of life for me!!!!

[@ericbalza-zj9nm]

@@InTheWoodyard There’s not much I’d do different if I could go back in time. I remember working a lot of overtime to pay for things I probably didn’t really need in my 30 and 40s. It might be fun to go back to my early 20s knowing what I have learned. It be nice to have some people around that are no longer with us. But I d probably end with a ex wife or 2 if I did that. I am looking forward to the next 25 or so years. Like Clint East Wood said don’t let the old man in.

[@hubertyoung1938]

I know how you can split even faster. On the return stroke, stop the ram just past the length of the wood, instead of letting the ram go all the way to rest. How can I get one of your WOOD YARD stickers?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, I do it when I can. See me at a logging show...the Paul Bunyan.

[@goglu1969]

Hey Chris, can you ask your friend if it is a 1/4 inch valve he had put in? Thinking of installing one on my 12-22 that has the same motor…

[@InTheWoodyard]

I think it was...the gas shut off valve??

[@goglu1969]

@@InTheWoodyard yes 1/4 inch?

[@BGWenterprises]

When its all the same rpm/gpm/psi. the only way to win a speed race is gov screw. Remove screw and they run at about 4,400 not 3,600 LOL The Briggs is 68~ more cc's displacement. With a fuel tank thats 0.4~ liters smaller. Thus the half hour run time difference. . Id personally use a gx 270 or possibly a 240 on one, should it actually need a replacement engine. 0.01c

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, I like the Honda engines too!

[@bobnboof397]

Hi Chris, can i get a sticker for my splitter. Cherrs from Australia 🇦🇺

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes you can! I will be at the Paul Bunyan show in Ohio with a few!

[@wikstromwoodworks1840]

Chris, I'm a retired firefighter you should know that fire trucks don't just sit in the fire station and get polished! Tax payers pay firefighters to keep that equipment ready to go at a moments notice and when we get called it does get used to save property and lives (maybe yours)! If you did take care of your equipment like firefighters do it might last longer. Careful what you say.

[@InTheWoodyard]

If I kept my equipment in the condition of a fire truck I would never get much work done, I would always be cleaning it. I understand why you cleaned the trucks and I am glad you took care of the trucks my taxes paid for and your wages. It was just a joke and comment that everyone makes about the shiny firetrucks.
