Great vid Andrew. I run a mid level machine, 16" max and if I set the table up with straight 12" logs I can make just over a cord in one hour. I would point out that the operator has to be in the "speed mindset" for max output. It takes its mental-toll on an operator focused on max production and I think it wears you out after a while. It is more reasonable to pace yourself and run the machine responsibly and at a pace that is both efficient and productive OVER TIME. I also think we get too hung up on the speed of production and seem to forget to add in the time it takes to prep logs for the table, forking them, etc. Not to mention resplitting etc. That can take just as much time as producing the firewood. I also think at the end of the day the "speed" of a machine is prob not the most actionable metric for a machines worth to your operation. Is it durable? Does it make the kind of wood you want to sell? Can you get parts? Will the dealer or manufacturer answer their phone when you call? Will the machine put you in a place to help your enterprise grow? As for 9 cords an hour?? LOL. Maybe under ideal conditions, when Jupiter aligns with Venus, during a snowstorm in Albania on January 17th at 4pm.
😂 Andrew! Yes in a perfect world with perfect wood and perfect weather makes for A Perfectly not Logical Statement! Take care my friend 🚜❄️🪵🇺🇸
Maybe there should be an industry standard method of measuring and manufactures should abide by them. I understand wood is inconsistent and there could be a range, but maybe the industry needs a test and advertising committee. They can overlook the manufacturers.
9 cords an hour is attainable if you are splitting 20 to 30 inch logs all the time and you have a machine feeding you all the time. Manufacturers should advertise minimum cords an hour with small knotty stuff not big straight sawmill grade poles.
Honesty is always the best policy. That said, people often hear what the want to hear. There is physically no way 9 plus cords per hour exists from a machine unless the govt and NASA get involved. Then that machine will cost a billion dollars. So everyone is saying cords per hour. A full cord, a face cord, a bush cord? Who knows. Like I said, some people hear what they want to hear. Speed sometimes is everything to some. Realability, customer support, availability of parts, cost of operating, all of that be damned, so long as it's the fastest. Not for me and my businesses. I like reliability and all that stuff. Keep putting out good products and you won't have to worry too much about the competition.
All I got to say is: Andrew is a man of his word, shows the prof, and does not send out false information. Eastonmade is a company that stands behind what it sells and goes above and beyond; they care and it shows. I can not speak from personal experience as I do not have a Eastonmade splitter nor any splitter other than a County Line 22 ton splitter. What I can say is out of the channels I have seen they all back up what Andrew and Eastonmade say from the customer service to the splitter/processor. All facts based on real world experience. Not one time have I heard anyone not say they have had a bad experience with Eastonmade other than the long wait times but guess what: No splitter leaves Eastonmade without being fully tested and ran threw with a fine tooth comb. Andrew and the Eastonmade crew have a lot of pride in the work they do and it shows. No corners cut and no bolt left loose. Keep up the great work to all the great people at Eastonmade. 👍🏻👍🏻
Words well said ! Eastonmade #1 outstanding company with outstanding employees and outstanding splitters & processors
Andrew you are correct. We do not live in a perfect world. Although there are people/companies that seem to think we do. Thank you for your honesty and not sugar coating your numbers.
I'd like to say Eastonmade is the Snapon tool of wood production. You've got the class,the best tools and the best guarantees.
Jim, the "Hit me Jbonthehills" is a fraud. He sent almost the identical text comment to me about 1 month ago:
"Congratulations you have been selected among our shortlisted winners, telegram the above username" to claim your prize..."
I asked him some questions in the Email I sent him, and it took forever to get a reply! He is here posing as Andrew Easton! The "son of a bit¢h"!
Forget a processor - I can push 24 Full Cord through my 37D splitter in an hour. Easily. With one guy. On stilts. and taking a 10min bathroom break to watch Tiktok.
Your equipment is so impressive, Andrew! I hear nothing but great things about you and your company!
Right on Andrew! 👍🏻👍🏻 -TOA
This man is exactly correct... do your research before you buy something you will come to rely on to service your customers... trust me it really sucks when you have to call a customer 6 months after they ordered wood to find out they gave up on you because you said you could get it to them sooner...
You get good production when you put 16' to 20 ' on it that is the only way your going to get past around and past 6 to 7 cords an hour i just sold a 27-40 cord king and my next machine is that 60c and the reason why is it is quieter in the cab it as ac built into it I don't have to bring a generator to run the ac, one joystick operation, reject door last log tray all standard on the machine my only dawn with it is you have to get a conveyor there is no conveyor with the machine it is an option but it does not outwait the rest of the machine
We have a Hakki Pilke falcon 35 with a Honda engine. We do not have a log deck. We can do about a full cord per hour. If everything is perfect and nothing jams possible 1 1/2 full cord an hour. 10” round by 10’ long. And perfect
This is a question that will always come up. My answer will always be the same. Depends on the size of wood you are running. We supply ourselves with wood so we take it down to 4 inch. That small stuff does lower our production rate, BUT with the 48c fast cycle time we can get through it fast to keep it at a reasonable rate. 2+ a hr. Best we have done so far is a 15 full cord load in 5 hrs. If we ran bigger diameter wood we would have even higher production rate.
Kev, I have always said you "have the fastest hands in the West"...that is... running your 48C!
Please look at the comment I recently posted with the Cord King video above, creating 8 cords per hour at the 2014 Paul Bunion competition. I can't imagine anyone sustaining a rate of 8 cords per hour all day long.
9 full cords an hour? I don’t think you could even load 9 full cords of logs on the deck in an hour. We do about 3 - 4 full cords a day with a little range road processor and that’s with an extra guy loading the deck and moving output pile. I would love to do 10 - 12 full cords a day on average with The 22MB Eastonmade processor. It would certainly up our production and doable with the right setup. I like your honesty Andrew and how you and your Team treat your customers. 😎🪵
hi there rented 1 -2 timed , 1.25 cords per hour , what is needed is cords per man hour . As for the cords per hour out put ,i do believe it is based on what the machine is capable of , if there is a 5 second cycle time and zero wait between splits and each round made 1.5 cubic foot that would yield 8.3 cords per hour , like you said that just aint the fire wood business , the machines can do that but we can't . even with a large support group witch is needed for even 3 cords per hour , .not sure one could even get 5 cords pressing utility poles / i do believe you guys have the best machine out there , john
Great Video Eastonmade has set the bar in the Industry Every product you make is ready for the task at hand my 12-22 has been awesome it is 100 % reliable and built like a tank !
What are you thoughts on this machine nd the price. I’m looking on a better machine as to cut down on the amount of handling of my firewood having to touch a piece 5/6 times is rediculous and sense it’s for personal use cuts into my narrow summers when weather is nice
Yeah...good points.
We hit 3 cords an hour pretty consistently with our Bells 6000 on 4"-12" diameter wood
I run a blacks creek 2000b and can do max 1.5 full cords a hour. Average around 1 cord per hour.
Maybe if you set it up so the wood was going "downhill with the wind behind it" you'd gain a little??
After putting some time in on the 22mb I have figured out that if the splitter was on a foot operated pedal and auto return like the axis it would be faster. Did a test with it having my son run the splitter and it was faster and to the point of having next block almost cut by the time splitter is all the way back.
The 22mb does take some practice to get that timing right for sure
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters Andrew, I am curious, why is the splitting chamber at a 90° angle to the in feed?
The cut log has to "slowly" take the time to roll sideways to get into position to be split. I always thought the straight on "drop down" like the Bells 6000 was faster.
Why was this changed?
PS: I recently heard Andrew partially answer my question: A 90° angle allows the operator to "eject" rounds that are defective, which would cause the round to "plug up/jam" the splitting chamber!
Nicely shown at the end!
That was impressive towards the end of the video watching all those pieces of wood falling on to the conveyor at once. Your transparency and honesty is awesome and rare. Keep it up!
Andrew.. Paul's old processor did 7 cords in a hour and fifty minutes of 20-22 -24 inch stuff split four way cut 20 inches long 5 years back..
He's was can't hooking and swearing alot of the time.
Andrew stands behind his processors Thank you Sir Rice Tree Co .
Appreciate the support!!!
I have ran 2 different processors and yes one definitely antiquated by far but anyone claiming 9 cords and hour IS BS!! but 4-5 most definitely. Id love to have an eastonmade our here in Arizona as it would just rip everyones mind of just how bad ass your machines are--
Enjoy the videos and seeing how much your company has grown. I have been running a 22 28 since December 2019 and it has been a game changer for me.
Interested in your thoughts on your machine I’m thinking of the same machine or 5e next size down
@@donaldpetrey3064 This is my first commercial splitter but when I bought it I got the biggest due to getting tree service wood. I never know what I will get. I run my box wedge almost always and it will turn out the wood.
The thing I think is the best part on your processor is the ram power. It does not care one lick if a piece of wood is sideways in the split zone. It's gonna power through. It's just an all around great product. If you are ever looking for a demo dealer down here in The States, let me know.
Hello, Andrew. Although I do not see a processor in my future, I like to see how you're doing with your machines. You are right. Using my own words, honesty is anyone's best policy.
Just wanted to know if you ever gave a thought to making your own Kilns for drying firewood people and half million million and a half dollar homes would pay extra for firewood that has been killed dried free of bugs and things of that nature in their million dollar homes just food for thought tell me what you think take care and God bless
Happy New Year Andrew! Good on you. Call it like it is. Love those Eastonmade processors - such awesome machines. Cheers!
Well said! Really enjoy your videos, Thank you.
Your machines are super fast! I would like to see them run head to head with some of the others.
Like Brute Force & Timber Wolf.
At such a fast speed, a person could lose concentration, and easily lose a hand on the manual splitters!
I feel it is dangerous to split at such speeds, and there should be a "speed limit" imposed to prevent accidents!
I dont know if Eastonmade is too fast, but I value safety.
@@garylaszewski7380 the speed of a splitter has nothing to do with loosing concentration, that is on the person loosing focus that is a mental issue, not a speed issue. At some point shouldn’t people be able to self regulate for themselves. All Vehicles are able to go too fast. Boats, jet skies and snowmobiles go too fast. Track loaders, wheel loaders and excavators move too fast. Bicycles, snowboards and even runners all can go too fast. Tobacco continues to kill and now formulary elicit drugs are now legal.
Just saying these machines are meant to be operated by competent operators. The best safety device is between the operators ears. If you think something is too fast and is dangerous you shouldn’t own or operate it. Let the rest of us decide for ourselves. Unlike these other things I mentioned the only person that is going to get hurt by a woodsplitter is the one operating the machine. The other things pose a risk to others. For what it’s worth focus your attention on those things, the things that kill and maim innocent bystanders.
Just my humble opinion.
@@smorefirewood Hi there Dana! I just subscribed to your channel, and like what I see and hear. I've never seen a Hakke Pilke before. But, I have heard about them.
I plan to ask Andrew Easton if he would ever build a manually operated wood splitter, like a 24D or 37D, that would split and return the ram in one second combined.
My guess, is that his answer will be partially based on "liability" where someone gets hurt, and he gets sued.
Would you let "Millie" operate such a fast machine?
Good thing I watched. I was ready to go remortgage the house and get one of these money printers. Lol
Your a good lad Andrew honest and stand by your equipment you got my vote
There’s tons of variables in this equation. One is the size of your logs. The other is log length. I get semi loads of firewood poles. 100 inch length. If I have over 10 inch wood up to 15 I can produce about a full cord in a hour 15 mins. That’s myself loading the deck and cutting myself. A lot of my poles are 3 to 6 inches. If your cutting all small stuff I am about a hour and 45 minutes per full cord. If I had someone loading the deck it would save about 15 minutes off my time per face cord. It takes about 4 decks of logs for a full cord. I have a Dyna xp 12. There’s one video on TH-cam showing it run and some of my production.
Good stuff. Tell the truth and stand behind it
Seems as though you had a great teacher.
I have run a bells 4000 for 3 years now - not every day - I have done mobile work so you might be steady for a month or 6 weeks then nothing for 2 months but in that time our machine has averaged about 2.5 cord an hour - sometimes more sometimes less. There are a lot of factors that play into it. Typically I can do a double in 6 hours.
Come down to right size off wood , good lucky with that . The better size and straight going into milling logs . Junk go into firewood. Soft wood like spruce and D fir go into logs junk go into pulp ( know as paper mill ) . Who the operator on the machine to .
Axis…1 full cord an hour if everything is bucked up ready to split. And that’s NOT moving at record speed. That’s enjoying the hobby and not tiring yourself out.
Another great video and honesty great team work on the builds of your machine’s can’t wait to hear back and use one 👍👍👍👍
Andrew did you send this ?
@@joeshaffer2506 No its a fraud! I got the same thing 1 month ago on the "Ohio Wood Burner" channel!
Lol i got 3 cords on my timber wolf but i worked all day in red oak and locust. It was hard on my splitter and even harder on me. I might be able to do a cord a hour if all my rounds are close. I love my timberwolf 5 but that is the best i can do with it and not wear out my machine
I need a 9 cord an hour machine so I could split my whole years wood in 2 hours LOL!
But the question is exactly how long it will take to stack all that wood.
Andrew, I recently posted this comment to the Ohio Wood Burners channel, and I would like to get your opinion if my idea has any merit:
PS: I heard Andrew Easton on a live stream, tell a story of a guy who installed "perfect split" on his Eastonmade wood processor. Why not just get a Japa, and save $100k, and get a 405?
The big 60C's, and 48C's, are so fast, and expensive to run, it just slows them down to install Perfect Split. Its a waste of money. There is no advantage to pay that much extra just to install Perfect Split?
Because of the JAPA perfect split patent, my idea for Eastonmade, is to install an "After Split" feature where it does automatic "resplits" on over sized split rounds coming out of the initial split!
Then, "they would have their cake and eat it too"! This would fix the biggest disadvantage on their big processors: re-spits! The big diesel engines just "gargle" the diesel fuel, they should at least address this issue, and give the customer more value for their $150k investment and operating expense!
The "After Split" feature would work as follows: the split chunks would be "pushed thru" an extra chamber, where "over sized chunks" would be detected, and extra wedges would be activated to further split the chunk. The speed of the processor would not be slowed down.
For the most part anything 16" and under goes through the 12 way in one pass, 3 seconds. He uses the box wedge for very diameter wood
Common sense suggests there isn't a machine in the world capable of producing over the course of an hour 1 cubic foot of firewood every 3 seconds.
I know for a fact the 40c will produce more in 2 mins, every hour, than a Leader Vortex evaporator will burn in that same hour.
No, I don’t have a firewood processor, but I don’t see how you could do 7 cord or more an hour. Someday I’ll have an Eastonmade with the box wedge on it. I wonder how many you’ve sold in Texas
Why can’t a processor buck a log all at once? 7 chainsaws lined up 16 inches apart. Then rounds roll onto a conveyor to feed a super fast splitter. 3 guys one feeding logs, one operating the multi cut system and the last splitting rounds like a madman?
What a wicked idea! Wish I had thought of that one!
Even at 3~4 cords per hour that still works out to a full log truck per day.
A full truck in less then 5 hrs at 3 full per hour
I’ve only watched these processors, the quickest appears to be a 2.5 second cycle time, with a vertical drop. Your machines are about 4 seconds.
Three cords an hour sounds pretty darn good to me! Andrew, are there any of your processors running in the Connecticut area? I’d love to see one in a real work environment.
Power split is there worse for this and there machines are more expensive and you have to pick your rounds up to waist height or you have to pay almost double for the log lift.
@Hit me Eastonmadewoodsplitters ok what did I win a swift kick in the ass or hot pocket under the fingernails
Under promise and over perform might not be a great sales pitch, but it produces the most satisfied customers.
Yes it really all depends on the logs, I've had my bells 4000 up to 15 face cord an hour and probably as low as 5 once all the hydro poll Ash trees are gone I'm sure everyone's averages will be going down
According to the math of a log diameter cut to 16" is as follows...
Disclaimer... no air space just hard math ...
Inches cuts per facecord
2 1454
4 361
6 160
8 90
10 58
12 40
14 30
16 23
As you can see there is way too many variables to actually calculate the real production on a firewood processor.. Maybe if someone took ten equal 20,000 pound loads of firewood all cut at the same time out of the bush ( all sizes 2" to 16" ) and time each session and devide by 10.. it would give you a more scientific realization of what these machines can really do..
I was mad at first when I got my 1st processor and it wasn't keeping up to the projected amount of cords it was supposed to do until I did the math and realized it was the wood I was running not the processor I was using
Tell me about it…got duped by the green and yellow competitor of yours. “4 cord an hour” they said, nope I can get 2 an hour……
Sorry to hear that.
I’ll be ordering a 22-28 and 24’ conveyor from you guys soon. Once I’ve got the cash flow in 5 years or so I’ll order a blue and orange big processor 😊❤
One thing that can be worth remembering is rhat there arecabout a gazillion variables: species of wood, sawing speed compared to splitting, length of the wood, logistics of wood in and out, quality of chain/blade, operator skill and so on...
The same when wanting to go bigger: logistics of logs, logistics of the firewood, need of manpower, (possible) need of new equipment, cost if operating (fuel/parts/investment) and so on.
I have said it before (and say it again) with no bad/ill intension: these machines are nice and well built (probably some if the best in the trade), but making them "make money" is a substantial work. OWB-Joe has talked a lot about "bulk firewood" and "value added firewood". That nice ~250 000$ machine needs manpower and equipment to keep fed which eats revenue...
I really don't want to pick any fights, I just want to offer another (different?) wiew. Have fun, keep safe and be well!
Andrew you are the mand
Man
I dont even know how you'd make 9 cords an hour unless you have some Mad Max looking thing lol
With my 12 year old processor I can do 7 full cords in 4 hours if the truck had some small logs on it that could go up to 4 hours and 30 min. My logger that bring me all my logs I move my processor to his home and do his wood cut to 16 inches and can do that in 3 hours and 30 min but most of the logs are around 14 inch diameter so the size of logs make a big difference in time. takes the same time to do a small log as a bigger one. I bet this beast you have could cut me down to 2 hours 40 min to 3 hours for the same 7 full cords let me know if I am wrong P S I do 800 to 850 face cords at 16 inches per year
And I had sandwiches
👍👍👍
I've seen that over rating in the industry before
I love the big processors but could you you a video on the entry model! Great content as always my man!
Check out "In the Woodyard" - he has a 22MB which is the entry model for Eastonmade. He is still learning, but can still pump out a lot of wood.
Youll see a smaller processor from us in the near future
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters I think that is wise
I currently run a 35 Ton splitter from a box store. Would also like to see the entry level processor that guys like me might consider. I love to watch 25k machines work but my budget is more like 5-8k. HELP
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters oh sure, now you decide to build a smaller unit. Do you need a guy to help design and build it? My father says he is waiting for your call. He he.
Try selling firewood in the south it’s ridiculous people show up with a pick up truck. Tell their customers it’s a full cord of firewood and it’s a 5 foot bed.
Amen to that
Buddy of mine has a tree service and sells firewood in the fall & winter .
He had a fella show up a week before Christmas. The customer seriously thought he could get a full 2 cords on a Toyota Tacoma & 6x12 trailer. My buddy that owns the tree service told the customer there's no way a full 2 cords on the truck and trailer. my buddy said the customer wounded buying about a half cord total. Long ways from a full 2 cords
Andrew, I like you and your company very much. I often bring to your attention ideas to improve your splitters and processors. Ofcourse, some/most are difficult to implement.
The following is a Cord King vs Bells vs Multitech competition at Cambridge Ohio (Paul Bunion?) back in 2014, where the Cord King created 8 full cords per hour compared to the Bells 4 cords per hour:
th-cam.com/video/_PkTqtqNInY/w-d-xo.html
Nine years ago they indicated 10+ cords per hour in one of their videos!
Personally, at such speeds, I find it hard to believe an operator can maintain concentration at that rate for very long. I am not sure what happened to the Bell, since it had a straight drop down log system, which I believe is the fastest design.
I know your processors are overbuilt for durability. I value reliability, over speed.
I actually ran the bells for that shootout. We sold 3 machines that weekend over the cord king because you could actually sell the wood that we produced. The cord king made a bunch of junk
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters Hello, since you mention '' made a bunch of junk'' can I ask, when you rate the output of a splitter'/processor, how do you calculate it since your wood is just piled up off the conveyor??, and as I watched your vid here, I saw a fair amount of fines, and very small sticks, that would be tough to sell,
@Ben Scoles you will get that off any machine, however it was significantly worse
If you're going to post production numbers on your processor, at least be transparent and list the conditions under which you got your number. Ie diameter and species of wood, how many pieces it was split into. How many logs you ran and whether you extrapolated out the hourly production. Better yet post a video of the machine running.
Hey Andrew what is the size of the blades on the 60c and what would be the smallest blade that you would use on a firewood processor?
This is a 60" blade. We will be coming out with a new model this spring that will have a 40" blade.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters Thanks 🙏 for replying to my message. I can’t wait to see that model!
