I've watched your channel for years and really enjoy your content. Followed your firewood journey and doing reviews like this helped me decide how to proceed forward myself. Finally put in my order for a 12-22 with a 7 way box wedge a few weeks ago. Hope to have the machine in the summer. But I'd like to thank you for making videos like this because it's help me learn more and take well informed steps in business that otherwise I might not have. Much appreciated Adam! Thank you!! ~ Will
The more I watch videos of that splitter, the more I want to build another one exactly like that! Lol! This splitter handles anything extremely well! Thanks for sharing Adam!
From Steel To Wood may I suggest a vertical?? You already have the horizontal and the vertical has a much smaller footprint. You will be able to give honest opinions and comparisons on both designs then. EM built a vertical. I think he sees the benefits in them too. Either way I know you’ll be able to accomplish it.
Adam as predicted I was not disappointed, box wedge and red oak making lots of firewood in a hurry. I do see one major flaw with your process “Who’s going to stack all that”. Take care brother
EASTOMADE and ADAM the dynamic duo !!!! another great video Adam ! That EASTONMADE box wedge setup is the ticket for those large rounds .Great camera angles and explanation of what comes off the table . I personally like some of the small stuff it helps get the fire going for my own use .That little bit is small potatoes compared to the time savings you gain , you have to go along ways to beat that EASTONMADE . Thanks for posting !
Just for your own information the log lift comes standard on that machine and it is a great feature . The pusher on all EASTONMADE splitters except the ultra , come standard with a retractable arm receiver behind the pusher . This allows you to add the box wedge later or it can be ordered with the box wedge .The lift coupled with the log cradle makes loading blocks almost effortless !!
I do honestly use my pallet forks more than the bucket. People used to tell me that and I was like no way but it’s true. A set of forks should come standard in these things
I have a rear receiver on the quick attach for my John Deere and used it this past summer for the wood splitter to move it around. It worked great especially to get it closer to the next set of wood to be split. Yours is a good inexpensive solution.
Good morning Sir, that a great wood splitter and a strong one for sure !!! Great way to stir your wood splitter !!! Very nice looking area !!! Cheers !!!
I used a plasma cutter to make a hole in the front of my bucket. You could use a drawbar type hookup or mount a ball. Same goes for the fork. Great video. I am planning to just use bucket loads of wood. Scoop up the split wood, dump into a drying area, then once every couple of weeks, dump some dry scoops into my shed on the house. No stacking!
Great video Adam, you made quite a haul with all the Red Oak you got. That Easton 1222 sure made short work with the splitting of all that wood. Got a good amount of fire starting kinlin and some smaller splits for getting the bigger pieces burning. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Good morning Adam. That splitter is perfect for those large rounds you have where you live. We seldom have trees that large - usually average around 12-15" at most. Thanks for the demo on the pallet fork attachment - should make life easier for you for sure. Take good care and all the best!
Hey Gord, thanks for the comment. Sometimes I wish we had more 12-15” wood haha. Working these big rounds gets tiring. Thank goodness for hydraulics haha. Take care!
A box wedge is certainly a great tool for splitting firewood from large rounds. However the woodworker in me always shed a tear to see such large diameter trees going for firewood instead of lumber.
Hometown Acres You might like Out of the Woods. Folksy but informative. A Wood Mizer LX 15 isn’t cheap but is portable and could handle the 22” trunks easily and make some nice oak boards. I helped a friend after 18 trees went down in a wind sheer and he had a sawmill come to his back yard and cut up some 30-32” trunks. The trees were all oak and the cordwood from the front loaded 16 eight foot bed pickup loads. We got two loads of wood off a 14 ft trunk of 22” circumference in the back. We’re still not done back there. Anyway, nice to see you innovating and enjoying your Eastonmade.
Hey Adam! Those fork hitches are nice. But you are always backing up everywhere. I'm making a trailer mover for my 3 pt hitch. I'm hoping it will work as well in reality as it does in my head. And that box wedge does a great job. Way less handling of the wood, which I like! I think you have me convinced I need one! Thanks for the video!
You could make two small holes on the side of the towball sleeve on your fork, weld nuts to the box section and tighten up the slack with two wind in bolts with washers welded to them for hand tightening. Easy to take up the slack and easy to remove again. :)
You could leave the legs of the splitter as is if you put the forks of the tractor down as you move, as opposed to up. Or at least I think so. Great video and channel. Thanks for the free entertainment while it rains here!
Hey Adam....I like that fork hitch, looks like it works great with being able to see when hooking up and does look to be more stable when pulling with it compared to the bucket hitch. I gotta get myself some forks & then think I'd prolly switch to something like that...good stuff. Yeah its no fun getting stuck moving a wood splitter, been there many times with my D130 John Deere...hahahaha. Those are sure some nice looking premium splits coming off the end of the splitter! 👍 Have a good weekend.
Yeah I’ve been stuck with the ranger to where I couldn’t go forward or backward. Had to unhook everything and then hook it up to the truck. Sucks when it happens at the end of the day. I would like to try a regular trailer mover or kinda like what Hank did. Might be nice to tow from the back of the tractor
Awsome splitter. You could drill two holes on the side and weld nuts over them . Then just put some bolts in it to keep the Hitch from side play on the forks.
Adam that is a very impressive splitter. The lift is perfect to save your back. Last week Gord, GP Outdoors, posted a video of a set of forks he just purchased. I suggested he drill a hole in the end of one forks or in my case both forks. Then you can put the 2" ball right on the fork. Less to have around and I'm sure it doesn't compromise the integrity of the forks. You can also put the hook part of a chain through the hole to lift things.
I’ve seen people have a ball directly on the fork before. I saw it in a boat yard where the forklifts are constantly moving boat trailers. It looked to work really well
That will eventually bend your fork. You can buy the three point hitch attachment. Family Farm , Tractor Supply, Rural King. I just gave one away last year. Bought one for bumper pull and gooseneck trailers.
I would love to get the same exact set up but not sure on the way to go with the wedge choice. Can you please expand on the different wedges you use for what and why you prefer each. Thanks
I like the pallet fork hitch. Seems like it would work good. When I use my atv to move my 12-22 from the engine side the back tires will lift off the ground sometimes, a little heavier on the wedge side.
I just watch these videos. I use a maul and a sledge and wedge. I wanted to see with a box wedge was. Wow, why don't you use that thing all the time? Forget the straight, four, six, and eight wedge. I love the return bar that just pushes it back to the splitting position. Will this work on a 10" log or and 8"? Thanks for any information
Those box wedge splitters are awesome I wonder how many cords that does an hour the best things about those is the pieces come out square so it makes it easy to stack the wood and you're always getting 4 pieces of wood split consistently and if I were to sell firewood I'd want all my pieces around the same size and this delivers that
Some day, someone will make a box wedge that doesn’t produce so much waste. If you are selling wood, I would think 20% waste would be a deal breaker. I enjoyed the video.
Gus M if you are heating with wood, that 5% will wear you out refilling your boiler, stove etc. if you are selling firewood, that 5% can not be sold. Like I said, someone will come up with a design that has less waste/kindling.
If you could go back in time would you choose this one or the 22-28 or the Axis. Im getting all the tree service wood I want and a one man show. I have a Super Split now and it honestly goes through these bigger rounds but lifting them is getting old like me. The last batch I got dropped off were probably 20-24" sticks.
That’s a great idea. I think I’ll have to do that. Like I said I don’t think it presents a safety issue as is but it makes it a little too loose for my liking.
Sigh, forget buying/building attachments to haul around equipment. Cut/drill a hole in a fork/bucket and simply screw on whatever size ball you need. Quick, simple, cheap and it works perfectly. 30 seconds to install or remove the ball.
I’d like to have a splitter like that! I’d like to have just a 4 way instead of the old single 😂 big wet hickory doesn’t like to split well with one of the singles
We are anxiously awaiting our 12-22. Backed up till October. We had a 130’ Doug Fir fall on our property the other day. 10’ circumference. Can’t wait to get at it. Are you cutting your rounds at 18” or 16”?
I’m shooting for 16”. I’m not exact but I get pretty close. I can’t believe they’re backed up til October. That’s wild. Good for them. Sorry you have to wait
@@HometownAcres That's probably more due to being able to get parts from their suppliers. Hydraulic valves, hoses, fittings. etc. Also I suspect Andrew is now working alone due to this pandemic.
Adam I I def need an upgrade I love watching your videos this particular model.you had the 10/22 with box wedge . Do you miss having since you got the axis ? Just wondering cause I like the fact customizing the wood splits but honestly I feel tossed between these 2 models. I was going to purschase a power split I like the idea of being able to move the machine without using another
Thanks for sharing that video adam it's funny I did. Watch that befre but for some reason I got off course on this . So the axis is a nice machine I will research the 2 other companies that make vertical splitters like power split and theres another one in Canada that makes these too But the height is important so I will look into the height difference. Thanks for the info . Again love the videos adam 👍
I needed to adjust the set screw on the pump. It’s supposed to be a 5 second cycle time. Must’ve gotten knocked out of whack from transporting on the road.
I love watching your videos but I don't like how loud your music gets where I am constantly turning the volume up and down. Can that be adjusted? Don't get me wrong, I love your music selections but just don't understand why the volume change.
Hey Adam nice job in the splitter wars. This machine performed awesome. I have to ask...would it work for you to hook ranger to pull end and tractor with either bucket or carryall at splitter discharge end? I’m looking for you not having to pick up the splits again or are you stacking them right there? Too bad they don’t manufacture the carry all with 2” receiver tubes already installed.
I make sure where I drop my rounds is where I’m planning to stack so I have a lane of rounds, an empty lane for me to come through with the splitter and then the next lane is where I’ll stack it. So all my splits are right next to where I’m stacking. Trust me I’ve learned this the hard way. When you’re dealing with as much firewood as the box wedge puts out you need to touch the wood as few times as possible
Any videos on the economics of this? Seems like a great job or side hustle, except that I see cords going for about $150-200 around here. Not much for the work involved.
With the size and weight of the logs you're pulling around, it almost looks like you could use a full size ag utility tractor. The weight alone would be helpful.
They do make hitch receivers for a tractor 3 point hitches. Makes them height adjustable. www.amazon.ca/Titan-Attachments-Trailer-Receiver-Drawbar/dp/B00CNUUU5A As Paul Short (youtuber) said, if you just pull a trailer from 1 fork tine, you may bend your loader arms out of alignment.
How long will that oak take to dry out where you live? Not sure if it is different here in the northeast... but it takes nearly twice as long for me versus my normal wood( cherry, and maple).
After burning Red Oak, I have to say , it is a pain in the as, I let it age for 2 years up in Maine, and still sizzles at times. Beech, cherry, maple, 1 year or less time to burn great. I'm of course surrounded by Red Oak, can't throw a rock without hitting a Red Oak. Beech is all dying or died, cherry is scarce, Maple makes syrup. Damn you Red Oak, cut it now and burn it when you tap into your 401k.
Mike G thanks for the input, I’m glad it’s not just me. I stacked 4 cords of 10 months seasoned oak for my winter burning only to be extremely annoyed. Had to drag out and store another 4 cords of my cherry and maple to burn. I hope by next year it’s ready to burn, at least it’s already by my house lol!
Hometown Acres absolutely true! I’m finally getting ahead on my cord wood. You inspired me to plan on some equipment investments so I can sell some cords and make a little side money
Nice simple receiver that works good. That box wedge is the cat's ass. Enjoy watching that work. By the way, I watched all the other splitter wars videos. Must have been a little communication error. The other guys split into 6 pieces. Seems like you split yours too small, could have made 1 pass with your 6 way wedge.
Yeah. I thought it was more of an eyeball test to make sure everything was campfire size. Some of those rounds when split into 6 pieces were still to large for even my indoor wood stove
i didnt like the 6 way because it kept throwing most of the big pieces off the front and he would have to push them back to the lifter. the box wedge is wayyyy better

Don’t know why this is so satisfying to watch, but I love it! Keep uploading the content!
Glad you enjoy it. Thanks for the feedback
Holy smolly, that box wedge is AWESOME!!!

Joe I like your splitter also can’t wait till you get it finished. Still waiting on the cup holder and the magazine rack.
Lol! Will see if needed!
Adam as predicted I was not disappointed, box wedge and red oak making lots of firewood in a hurry. I do see one major flaw with your process “Who’s going to stack all that”. Take care brother
Haha yeah it’s gonna take longer to stack than it will to split. Maybe I’ll hire some neighborhood kids to come stack it haha
EASTOMADE and ADAM the dynamic duo !!!! another great video Adam ! That EASTONMADE box wedge setup is the ticket for those large rounds .Great camera angles and explanation of what comes off the table . I personally like some of the small stuff it helps get the fire going for my own use .That little bit is small potatoes compared to the time savings you gain , you have to go along ways to beat that EASTONMADE . Thanks for posting !
Yeah after I get the firewood stacked up i come through and collect all the kindling for firestarters for next winter in the wood stove
That splitter is a good one! As long as you have the wood ready, this splitter will make quick work of it! I've got to get one! Awesome!
Nice splitter, looks like works good some nice oak splits to. Good job
Awesome job. Box wedge and the log lift are great accessories.
Just for your own information the log lift comes standard on that machine and it is a great feature . The pusher on all EASTONMADE splitters except the ultra , come standard with a retractable arm receiver behind the pusher . This allows you to add the box wedge later or it can be ordered with the box wedge .The lift coupled with the log cradle makes loading blocks almost effortless !!
fralin1966 I know
Love the uniform shapes and sizes of those split pieces, makes for more stable stacks, and less open spaces in the stack as well.
Yep. I’m looking forward to getting it stacked and drying. Oak takes forever to dry
Love that sound when wood splits.
I really like the music on this one.
From Cyprus Dave, Adam, that log lift definitely saved your back,great spilter,1 of the best!
I couldn’t imagine not having a log lift now. There’s no going back
Wow!! Im really impressed on how this system works !!
And yet another use for pallet forks. So handy to have!
I do honestly use my pallet forks more than the bucket. People used to tell me that and I was like no way but it’s true. A set of forks should come standard in these things
Nice set-up Adam, just look at that pile of split firewood ! So sweet 👍
Thanks Dave!
That's an amazing rig! Thanks Kindly for the video! Great splitting Adventures! DaveyJO in Pa.

Good morning Sir, that a great wood splitter and a strong one for sure !!! Great way to stir your wood splitter !!! Very nice looking area !!! Cheers !!!
Excellent looking red oak ! Jealous of the box wedge !!
The end products on the box wedge couldn’t be more perfect. I’m actually looking forward to stacking it. Should stack easy
Absolutely
I just love the box wedge, I envy you :D
It is a very enviable machine. Eastonmade makes a great product

Yep. After I get all that stacked I like setting aside all the scraps for next years kindling. Makes getting fires going in the woodstove a breeze

A box wedge is certainly a great tool for splitting firewood from large rounds. However the woodworker in me always shed a tear to see such large diameter trees going for firewood instead of lumber.
I’d love to have a sawmill

That splitter is absolute beast. I’m falling behind on splitting too, selling a ton of firewood lately so I am always doing deliveries
Yeah I went and got another three truckloads of ash yesterday. So now I’m even further behind
Good stuff, Adam! I have some rounds that big I'm busting up by hand next week. haha! Have a good one
Doing it by hand sounds like a good workout haha
Hey Adam! Those fork hitches are nice. But you are always backing up everywhere. I'm making a trailer mover for my 3 pt hitch. I'm hoping it will work as well in reality as it does in my head. And that box wedge does a great job. Way less handling of the wood, which I like! I think you have me convinced I need one! Thanks for the video!
It actually works pretty well driving forward. The trailer is very responsive so it’s easy to turn. Just can’t go too fast
That's getting it done.. good job..
You could make two small holes on the side of the towball sleeve on your fork, weld nuts to the box section and tighten up the slack with two wind in bolts with washers welded to them for hand tightening. Easy to take up the slack and easy to remove again. :)
You could leave the legs of the splitter as is if you put the forks of the tractor down as you move, as opposed to up. Or at least I think so. Great video and channel. Thanks for the free entertainment while it rains here!

Have a good weekend.
Yeah I’ve been stuck with the ranger to where I couldn’t go forward or backward. Had to unhook everything and then hook it up to the truck. Sucks when it happens at the end of the day. I would like to try a regular trailer mover or kinda like what Hank did. Might be nice to tow from the back of the tractor
Awsome splitter. You could drill two holes on the side and weld nuts over them . Then just put some bolts in it to keep the Hitch from side play on the forks.
Adam that is a very impressive splitter. The lift is perfect to save your back.

I’ve seen people have a ball directly on the fork before. I saw it in a boat yard where the forklifts are constantly moving boat trailers. It looked to work really well
Great set up👍if you let the wood drop on pallets you could just let it dry there.
That will eventually bend your fork.
You can buy the three point hitch attachment. Family Farm , Tractor Supply, Rural King.
I just gave one away last year. Bought one for bumper pull and gooseneck trailers.
I would love to get the same exact set up but not sure on the way to go with the wedge choice. Can you please expand on the different wedges you use for what and why you prefer each. Thanks
Lol. My dad is a freak. He likes to stack everything up. He even stacks the huge logs.
Just a thought, if you had your tractor bucket under the table the split wood would fall into it and it would save you a step moving it.
I suggest you drill a hole to the side of your fork width and drop a pin with safety pin to keep it from moving around?
Very nice.
I like the pallet fork hitch. Seems like it would work good. When I use my atv to move my 12-22 from the engine side the back tires will lift off the ground sometimes, a little heavier on the wedge side.
I had the same issue with the ranger. My back end would was really light. I had to have 4 wheel drive on so my front tires would bite
@@HometownAcres Same thing for me, atv needs to be in 4 wheel drive. That's why I bought a conveyor.
I just watch these videos. I use a maul and a sledge and wedge. I wanted to see with a box wedge was. Wow, why don't you use that thing all the time? Forget the straight, four, six, and eight wedge. I love the return bar that just pushes it back to the splitting position.
Will this work on a 10" log or and 8"? Thanks for any information
I drilled a hole in the top of my box blade frame for a 2 inch ball works great for me , tow it behind my tractor anywhere !!!
That’s a pretty good idea
Dang. I got drunk watching you pull that thing driving backwards. Any way to rig it up on your tractor’s 3 point hitch instead? Awesome video!!
Like the splitter. Uniform size.
Those box wedge splitters are awesome I wonder how many cords that does an hour the best things about those is the pieces come out square so it makes it easy to stack the wood and you're always getting 4 pieces of wood split consistently and if I were to sell firewood I'd want all my pieces around the same size and this delivers that
I think realistically you can probably expect about 1.5 cords an hour working by yourself. All depends on the size, quality and species of the wood
Some day, someone will make a box wedge that doesn’t produce so much waste. If you are selling wood, I would think 20% waste would be a deal breaker.
I enjoyed the video.
Of that 20% probably 10-15% is salvageable kindling. Only 5% is true waste
How is it waste ? Put it in the fire and burn it .
Gus M if you are heating with wood, that 5% will wear you out refilling your boiler, stove etc. if you are selling firewood, that 5% can not be sold.
Like I said, someone will come up with a design that has less waste/kindling.
@@Hugh1966 I use it for ground cover in my backyard and or dry out the larger pieces for kindling no such thing as waste
yea the box wedge is way better than the other ones you used last video.
Thank-you.
If you could go back in time would you choose this one or the 22-28 or the Axis. Im getting all the tree service wood I want and a one man show. I have a Super Split now and it honestly goes through these bigger rounds but lifting them is getting old like me. The last batch I got dropped off were probably 20-24" sticks.
You could always weld a piece of tubing inside to make a tighter fit on your forks.
That’s a great idea. I think I’ll have to do that. Like I said I don’t think it presents a safety issue as is but it makes it a little too loose for my liking.
Love that splitter in west texas n[t enuff wood to warrant price
Use 1 of the waste wedges of wood to pack the fork mounted hitch to stop it waggling around...!!!!
Those big rounds make a lot of, pile adds up fast.
They really do. I’d guess no less that 25 pieces in each one of those rounds
Hi, thank. You for your content. Could you pleas tell me what hydraulic pump is on this splitter?
Enjoyable to watch! Wish o had one of these splitter, the music was a little bit loud.
Yes it was.
I enjoy hearing the splitter and the splitting.
@@Cinder2008 I do too. I has to crank down the volume three notches for music and then back up to hear voice and splitting.
I was browsing at this side an came across this machine an was interested to have it but I also need more details
Adam that splitter is making life to easy mate, you need to get back on your old splitter every now and then to get a dose of reality.
Hahaha i’d still be splitting with the other splitter. Time is money
Just curious why you changed from this machine to the Axis
Sigh, forget buying/building attachments to haul around equipment. Cut/drill a hole in a fork/bucket and simply screw on whatever size ball you need. Quick, simple, cheap and it works perfectly. 30 seconds to install or remove the ball.
I’d like to have a splitter like that! I’d like to have just a 4 way instead of the old single 😂 big wet hickory doesn’t like to split well with one of the singles
Isnt it all firewood, so what a but of scrap to it?
We are anxiously awaiting our 12-22. Backed up till October. We had a 130’ Doug Fir fall on our property the other day. 10’ circumference. Can’t wait to get at it. Are you cutting your rounds at 18” or 16”?
I’m shooting for 16”. I’m not exact but I get pretty close. I can’t believe they’re backed up til October. That’s wild. Good for them. Sorry you have to wait
@@HometownAcres That's probably more due to being able to get parts from their suppliers. Hydraulic valves, hoses, fittings. etc. Also I suspect Andrew is now working alone due to this pandemic.
@@bwillan They are running full-time. That's how busy Andrew is. I'll be thankful if I get mine before 2023. Happy New Year!

Approximately how much does the box wedge cost? Do you use a strap/chain to lower it onto the splitter?
Do you just pick out the little pieces when you stack it?
Hello Adam, What is the cost of that splitter with the box wedge?
How much firewood did you produce in that time?
Nice splitter but the cycle time would drive me nuts. Need more GPM on the pump.
I needed to adjust the set screw on the pump. It’s supposed to be a 5 second cycle time. Must’ve gotten knocked out of whack from transporting on the road.
I love watching your videos but I don't like how loud your music gets where I am constantly turning the volume up and down. Can that be adjusted? Don't get me wrong, I love your music selections but just don't understand why the volume change.
Having the tractor tilted upwards, I think it would help the cores to fall off ?
Do you guys like the vanguard engine? Is there a Honda option?
wat is de prijs van deze kliever en is hij leverbaar in belgie
Was this before u got the axis?
awesome looking splitter, great lawn stripes too!! what mower you running?
Hey Adam nice job in the splitter wars. This machine performed awesome. I have to ask...would it work for you to hook ranger to pull end and tractor with either bucket or carryall at splitter discharge end? I’m looking for you not having to pick up the splits again or are you stacking them right there? Too bad they don’t manufacture the carry all with 2” receiver tubes already installed.
I make sure where I drop my rounds is where I’m planning to stack so I have a lane of rounds, an empty lane for me to come through with the splitter and then the next lane is where I’ll stack it. So all my splits are right next to where I’m stacking. Trust me I’ve learned this the hard way. When you’re dealing with as much firewood as the box wedge puts out you need to touch the wood as few times as possible
Неймовірно крутий дровокол!!!
How does it work on wood that is stringy like elm?
We don’t have much elm. I’m not too familiar with it
Do you miss the 12-22? I'm thinking about selling my 12-22 for the axis or the 22-28. I'm concerned about lack of tonage on the axis.
Any videos on the economics of this? Seems like a great job or side hustle, except that I see cords going for about $150-200 around here. Not much for the work involved.
With the size and weight of the logs you're pulling around, it almost looks like you could use a full size ag utility tractor. The weight alone would be helpful.
Soy de MÉXICO, no hablo inglés¿Cuál es el precio de esa máquina?, Gracias por el vídeo muy ilustrativo, BD
How much Canadian for this splitter $
Sunny or not...eye protection always!
What is the cycle time?
I have some stuff in the 30 to 40 inch range , wanna help ????
That thing seems to struggle alot for what these cost id kinda expect that thing to push that wood through there without any effort.
My hydraulic pressure relief set screw wasn’t adjusted properly in this video. Normally it does
They do make hitch receivers for a tractor 3 point hitches. Makes them height adjustable. www.amazon.ca/Titan-Attachments-Trailer-Receiver-Drawbar/dp/B00CNUUU5A As Paul Short (youtuber) said, if you just pull a trailer from 1 fork tine, you may bend your loader arms out of alignment.
I should move the fork to the center of the 2 loader arms. That might help with this problem
That thing sure binds into the grain and mashed up doesn’t it.
Do you buy your wood
I have yet to buy any wood but I may consider it in the future
90 mins wow

How long will that oak take to dry out where you live? Not sure if it is different here in the northeast... but it takes nearly twice as long for me versus my normal wood( cherry, and maple).
I’m in Pennsylvania. Normally oak takes 18 months. I split this stuff kinda small so it will definitely be ready for winter 2021-22
After burning Red Oak, I have to say , it is a pain in the as, I let it age for 2 years up in Maine, and still sizzles at times. Beech, cherry, maple, 1 year or less time to burn great. I'm of course surrounded by Red Oak, can't throw a rock without hitting a Red Oak. Beech is all dying or died, cherry is scarce, Maple makes syrup. Damn you Red Oak, cut it now and burn it when you tap into your 401k.
Mike G thanks for the input, I’m glad it’s not just me. I stacked 4 cords of 10 months seasoned oak for my winter burning only to be extremely annoyed. Had to drag out and store another 4 cords of my cherry and maple to burn. I hope by next year it’s ready to burn, at least it’s already by my house lol!
sean peterson that 4 cords of oak will last you a lot longer than 4 cords of cherry and maple. It’ll be worth it in the end
Hometown Acres absolutely true! I’m finally getting ahead on my cord wood. You inspired me to plan on some equipment investments so I can sell some cords and make a little side money
Burn a Whole though your Fork, Worked for me.....
Just drill a hole in your fork and stick a ball in it!
Nice simple receiver that works good. That box wedge is the cat's ass. Enjoy watching that work. By the way, I watched all the other splitter wars videos. Must have been a little communication error. The other guys split into 6 pieces. Seems like you split yours too small, could have made 1 pass with your 6 way wedge.
Yeah. I thought it was more of an eyeball test to make sure everything was campfire size. Some of those rounds when split into 6 pieces were still to large for even my indoor wood stove
i didnt like the 6 way because it kept throwing most of the big pieces off the front and he would have to push them back to the lifter. the box wedge is wayyyy better
I agree. 6 way wedge has a specific size range that it is best suited for.
