Ahhh, there’s that cup holder! What an awesome piece of equipment!
If only it was insulated
Cool vid. Thx for sharing. I liked the no frills vid, just letting the machine do it’s thing.
Looks like a good machine Dan. I like the facts that it doesn't need a tractor because it has its own engine and you can run it from one side, you don't have to move around it to fill the log lift and then come back again to get to the controls.
Yeah I hate walking around to fill the log lift. In fact I only use the log lift when I have a helper to help load it. If the round is too heavy I have an old craftsman splitter in the vertical position to quarter the round first.
There's also plenty of room to operate and having the pullback arm bring the piece back for re-splitting is great!
Amazingly efficient piece of machinery.... Worth every penny
You got that Eastonmade because it will hold your drinks, right? LOL! Sure is a sweet setup.
Yep, that was the deal maker....lol
TOO EASY !!!!!
Ha...yeah it actually really almost is.
the conveyor is for sure a game changer stay safe and keep all your fingers
Looks like it working well dan.
Of course it is. It's an eastonmade.
OHhhh yes indeed...the machine is working well and doing all the work in the process...lol
Nothing but work with a sweet splitter! Great job Shifty!!👍👍
I have the same unit and I'll let you know. I take all the shavings and put them in a bag and sell them as fire. Starter works very well and I do get quite a few bags of it sold
Excellent job Dan it’s going to get your wood 🪵 done quickly maybe amazing Amanda could run it also ❤😊👍
Wow!! That makes a lot of wood in a short amount of time!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Yes it sure does...and doesn't take much effort to do it...lol
Hi Dan!!😀😀
It definitely makes nice wood!!
WOOOOW! I didn't know wood splitters have a stealth mode. If not, yours sounds like a conveyor.
Hahahahaha
Eastonmade hit it out of the park with this setup
possibly slow that conveyor down to reduce premature wear. i've seen guys running their conveyor at a snails pace and it still keeps the wood moving. Great content, great equipment. Love the channel, subscriber.
There isn't a speed control on the conveyor, but I'm thinking of looking at getting one put on.
Awesome!
That's an awesome machine Dan! You might want the pizza wedge like Schieb has because they look a littls big for bundles. But that rack at the end of the video ilooks awesome! Dan, did you even break a sweat? lol
Takes all the work out of it hahahahaha
lol...yep, but keeps the fun in! Hahaha
Awesome
Oh so you got the complete splitter. Very nice I myself am thinking of having one made with a conveyor on it as well.
Take all the scrap wood and fill your outdoor boiler. You will a roaring first fire for sure!! Hell of a machine.
That box wedge and conveyor are going to make you lazy. Lol
Sweet machine there shif-tee! You may want to look at slowing the conveyor. There should be a flow control adjustment knob. SpeKing if the conveyor looks like the paddles are redesigned again?
There's no flow control or speed control for the conveyor but am thinking of getting one put on.
Flat out making wood!
Maybe you can start buying firewood by the rounds. I’ve seen facecords priced reasonably well that way. That splitter is so efficient that you might be able to recoup in volume what you lose in buying pre bucked logs.
I don't pay for the logs I get now...not sure I'd want to start paying for anything even if it were cut in rounds.
Not that easy Dan is workin it Hard!
Can you adjust the speed of the elevator?
Asked that couple vids ago, believe I'm still waiting for answer unless it was on the live show Fri
I literally thought at the beginning of video he had added a drum roll as background sound!😂
It sure doesn't need to be running near this fast and possibly needs some lube!👍
Not an option at the moment...going to maybe look into having a control put in for it.
@@brandonhoad9033 well, he has answered the same question 38 times on this video (so far).
Evidently NO ONE reads anyone else's comments.
If Dan gets $5.00 for each time he answers this same question, he could buy a hydraulic adjustable flow control valve, all the hydraulic hoses and fittings he needs, pay to have a hydraulic expert install it all, and have enough money to buy a case of Captain Morgan.
Does the 37D use the same wedges as the 22-28 and/or the 12-22? Are they a bit interchangeable between models or does the 37D have its own heavy duty grade of wedges?
I think the 22-28 & 37D wedges are a little thicker and heavier built than the 12-22 wedges.
Be interesting to see it side by side with the wolfe ridge and actual differences between them.
What’s the major improvement of the eastonmade other than the conveyor?
Biggest difference is the design of the box wedge that I've noticed. My buddy Rick has the 35 SHO with box wedge that I've run a few times.
At the start of your video, you raised the horizontal knife some. How high can you raise the horizontal knife?
Stay safe.
You should have a video cleaning and opening your wood castle👍👍🤔
Great job! I was wondering, did you ever get a jam on the machine by two subsequent wedge shaped complementary wood pieces?
It seems like it produces a lot of "shred" which is what I call those 1/8th - 1inch thick end cuts when the log is just slightly too big.
I get it with my single wedge busting down big stuff but usually only end up with a handful over a cord. It looks like you're losing a small slice off almost every log.
I'd be curious to see if it adds up to several bags of firewood over a season or two and if theres any plan to utilize it. Mine usually ends up in my fire pit. Even green as can be it'll dry out to where its burnable in a week or two of direct sun exposure.
I noticed the same thing. I'd be interested to know if the lower amount of effort using the box wedge is a good tradeoff with the increased amount of slash/shred.
Any box wedge is going to produce slash, but like ya said it dries out pretty fast so I plan on using it in my fire pit...it burns with great flame!
Pretty sweet. How did u like the bucking up station ?
Worked pretty good...the logs I have aren't level/smooth enough. Need to find a few logs that didn't have so many branches...lol
@@Back40Firewood awesome
I wish Dan would indicate what type of wood is being split while it’s happening. It’s interesting how some species go through like butter, while others are very difficult.
This was all Oak. What makes some pieces split better than others is some have knots and branch unions so inside the piece the grain of the wood is crossed or going in various direction. The wings of the wedge then have to split through this cross grain instead of with it so just takes a bit longer to push through.
Can you slow down the conveyor? Seems like it’s running twice as fast as it needs to just added wear for no reason
Perfect noise maker even on YT! 🔊📢😭
Hahahaha...yeah it does crank out some sound!
@@Back40Firewood I think playing the video close to bed would work as a dream enhancing sleep noise sound machine for a real wood hound! 🎶🎶🎶
Is there an option to slow down the conveyor speed? Seems to be running way faster then it needs to be. It’s loud too, you must be filtering out the noise from the diesel engine.
Currently not an option for speed control, but looking at getting something added on to allow for that.
What size rings can you run through that we have at the smallest 28 inch just wondering what the max would be ??
I'm not sure what max diameter would be, however once you get too wide then the outside splits need to be re-split and can be a pain trying to handle the top split when it's being pulled back.
Any thoughts on how wobbly that entire engine is on every stroke, especially the return?
It's shown really clearly at various times but look starting the 3 minute mark to 4 minute. Seems concerning.
The radiator is mounted with 2 thick rubber washers on the mount to allow for some flex when the ram returns. I'm thinking that is done by design but not 100% sure.
Having watched every eastonmade video out there I haven't seen that flex with other 37d units.
Never seen any at all with the 23hp gas engines.
Appreciate all your vids
Break in complete?
For the most part, I'm still getting used to everything however...lol
@08:50 Looks like the machine is having trouble splitting?
Yeah a few of those pieces had multiple knots and the pushing through cross grains of wood with multiple angles of iron it's gonna slow anything down...lol
Way too much talking in this video, very nice setup
I totally agree.. less talking more standing around. 🤣🤣👍
It was like all the yappin' would never stop...🙄
LOL...yeah I've been known to ramble from time to time.
QQQ Dan with this type of wood splitter will you start selling small pieces of wood as kindling to take advantage of the entire piece of wood? $10.00 Bags of Kindling!
My plan right now for all the slash is to just use it in my fire pit. Then I don't need to burn other wood....the slash burns great after a week or so drying out...give great flame!
I was thinking..."Wonder what he will do with himself since not being able to hand push the splits off the end of table like on his Wolfridge?"
Yep...wasnt 5 minutes and you already were getting your dirty paws in underneath to help push it out! How will the otherside ever clear itself without you there to push each piece off the table??.😂😅😂😅😅
Hahahahaha....I was just pushing those pieces through so the camera could see the next pieces coming through the wedge...lol
Sure Dan....😂😂 You just can't handle standing there doing nothing while the machine does all the work! Really going be tough once Ms.Amanda starts pushing the levers!
@@Back40Firewood Almost like you will need a new hobby to do while the machine works. Maybe crocheting some mittens???😅
So, what do the Wolfe Ridge people think of you cheating on them with Andrew Easton, lol.
lol...I don't think most look at it like that.
@@Back40Firewood Somebody had to say it, though lol.
@@pyroman6000 not really, Dan addresses that very question in a previous video.
Seems not much different than the 35SHO
Box wedge is a completely different design on the Eastonmade.
@@Back40Firewood
Ok, since I haven’t seen the 37D or a 35SHO other than what you and Brent have posted for videos,
What’s the difference between them?
If you oil that chain it will quiet down a lot, take care
