Chris and all, thank you for finding time to get together and make a great video. I really felt like i was there, we all share a passion for making firewood. Helping people bring warmth and light into their homes - this is what unites us! Thank you, Beaverton Family Firewood
Tony I really like my AXIS with the electric starter. It took 18 months to get it, and when it arrived May of 2023 ~ it was love at first sight! LOL I am fortunate to have a Box store splitter I bought used (Troy-built) and it has a Honda 270 GX engine....I due love that engine also so I can relate to what your feelin'. Lastly, I have six of the nine Tools for the woodyard....Thanks Chris, this is where my retirement is leading too! Hahaha!!! Keith aka Cowboy Joy!
I'm out of town for Hoosier cutting day. I've helped a minister friend there feed vets in September. Should be a cool spot to do the splitting. Nice video
My splitter just got welded Should have it in week or two. It not a Eastonmade but a commercial grade splitter. Can’t wait to get it. I don’t do ton wood. I definitely don’t have tons of time so time is important. Great video guys.
Good morning guys. Eastonmade a game changer. I for one has owned my 12-22 for 3 years. A one man firewood producer , owning this machine no disappointments serious production gains. Cheers everyone.👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
There are showers at the campground for the Hoosier Firewood Hysteria. I'll be there both days again this year, along with my grandson! See you then. Mike Shea
I can’t wait to get my Eastonmade Ultra. I’m using a CountyLine 27 ton right now for my first one ever to start my firewood business. I plan on moving into the Axis a year or two later after the Ultra.
Yeah I can't wait to get a ultra probably a year maybe two,till then I'm stuck with the box store,but I'm fine with humble beginnings on mine ,but I can't wait.lol
Whens the Wisconsin woodhound demo day at the woodyard or at a fairgrounds or even at our sawmill. Lots of firewood TH-camrs in WI and metsa/japa and wolf ridge. Id bring my supersplit hd and my brother could bring his woodmizerLT35 full hydraulic to demo sawing 2 cedar logs at once and mill big walnut logs. Even bring our iron mule. Could also do it at our farm/ sawmill bc we have thousands of logs piled up already. Could even demo firewood processors,splitters, chippers chipping slabwood and running our board edger.
Morning Chris. Great conversation about the Firewood World. I’ve always said to my friends; “ Chris could talk a dog off a Meat Wagon!” Love your talks and conversations 🪵👍 Have a safe day!
Funny hearing Tony talk about Honda engines, after a few years of Andrew using other engines he said they were less trouble than that Honda. Still member Tony getting his Axis, then saw Bucking Billy Ray with an Axis Axis is my favourite splitter.. I’ve thought the
Hi Guys!!😀😀 Great to see all of you together. Wish I was in shape to come hang out. But life troughs us curves sometimes. Take care my friends!!😀😀👍👍 Love you all!!😀😀💚💚 Logger Al
Hi Logger Al. Surgery went great. I am under strict restrictions. Can only lift a fork and spoon. No running, playing or jumping. The difference is incredible. I am seeing things I never knew existed. Left eye will be fixed on March 13. This is the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. The colors, crispness and detail is like looking through an electron microscope.
@InTheWoodyard I have freckles on my arms that I never saw before. I also know what a real eight inches looks like on a tape measure. I always wondered why the text on my phone was a light grey on a white background. Today I discovered the text is a very crisp black.
Good to see you all together. Lots of info. I will be at the Hoosier firewood event with a Timberwolf TW-1. Hope I can find someone to feed my splitter. I am a veteran Air Force firefighter 1970-74. Which hotel are you at Chris?
Freedom First!! A hearty thank you to all the soldiers who have or are actively defending our God given rights. Looking forward to meeting you all at HFH2024. I just paid for my Axis yesterday and I pick it up in Perth on April 15th. See you all on setup day! Stacey A. Weston
Chris, have You's seen the Whiland Rex 600c processor? They're an awesome splitter. Eats big wood and no need for the ultra. It also has 6 second cycle time.
Good stuff fellas! You can’t go wrong with any of the commercial grade splitters! I guess I will need to order one since I will be 50 in a couple years🤣 HFH 2024!!!! I was there last year and I won’t miss another one! Can’t wait for the fellowship. Take care fellas👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Lol that looked like a lot of fun. The hysteria should be great. Wish I could make it. Not sure who dressed bert....Thats almost as offensive as a Maple Leafs Jersery :)
I’d buy an Eastonmade if they used Honda engines. They are great machines but I’m a Honda guy so I’d buy a Wolfridge when I’m ready to pull the trigger. Both top quality machines.
@@InTheWoodyard Or Eastonmade could offer both engines…I bet 99% would want the Honda. Honda small engines are The Standard. I lust after a high end vertical splitter….total game changer for bundle size wood.
Why is everybody in such a hurry to split their firewood? I enjoy my time being in the woodyard and if I get all the wood split. What will I do then? Watch more TH-cam?🤠 I wish there were more good options of splitters, in the market between box store and these industrial type splitters.👍👍
Wayne. I had the same feelings until I found the Split-Fire 2265 with log lift. I’ve had box store splitters for 40 years but bought one of these last year. Commercial quality at a semi reasonable price. I love the bi directional splitting, no need to pull the wood back. Super fast, I run it on half throttle most of the time. Easy to move around too. I’ve split 36 inch logs on it.
My family is 6/7 generations of loggers, and I always remember them talking about all of the diesel engines having a hard time starting in cold weather. Is that still true?
Chris at the end you panned the snowblower(?) that said "FarTKing" brand then you panned to Bert. Was that telling us something? LMAO Enjoyed the video.
I thought that once too. My production TRIPLED when I got mine. and I gained my time back, it was a game changing bargain and my machine increased in value......you can't afford NOT to.
So tempting to throw tools in the beater with a heater toyota prius. And just go. Only about $375 to go 5,500 miles. Round trip. Well thats basically an oil change so probably over 400 Probably just a pipe dream.. Mabe next year sigh.......
@InTheWoodyard Yea I know I'm just getting older with time. There will come a point where sleep in a auto will no longer be practical, in terms of what the body can handle. . I just said goodbye to a dog of 15 years a week ago. That was a bad day.. in more ways then I need to type out. Just reminds me I'm not getting any younger.
I don't doubt this is good equipment, just hard to get the math to work for a $13k splitter when selling part time. I also have some concerns that the price and demand of splitters will fall when all the Ash trees are gone.
Chris and all, thank you for finding time to get together and make a great video. I really felt like i was there, we all share a passion for making firewood. Helping people bring warmth and light into their homes - this is what unites us! Thank you, Beaverton Family Firewood
Thanks so much for watching!
One of the best videos you've put out in awhile Chris ! I really enjoyed it a lot.... A ton of wood and machine knowledge in that room / shop/ garage.
Thanks!
Great chat guys! Looking forward to all the great footage from the event in April! We’ll see you soon! Andrew from NB :)
Can't wait!

Best splitter ever ..made so strong and so efficient and fast... Single high wedge is awesome ....
You are going to love it!
nice!

Eastonmade...overbuilt...strong, reliable and efficient ...great to deal with.....worth the wait to get one .....and worth every penny ...

Maybe next time we can come to you!!

@@annmariekowalski7505 Great to hear my dear!! Sounds like when Linda had hers done. Told you it would be great!!😀😀👍👍
When I was young, I split with a maul. Elm was only done in temps 10 and below Fahrenheit.
Yup, me too!
My 22/28 is one heck of a machine. Best investment I’ve made beside my loader mount splitter.
Yup, they are awesome!
G’morning Chris. What a good group of guys. Great information and convo !
GoodNightIrene
Thanks!
Nice round table discussion type video 👍
Glad you liked it!

Awesome, good to hear!
Nice hearing how good the splitters are compared to the cheaper ones.
Yes they are!
Hey Chris-your discussion on quality reminded me of my uncle’s favorite saying: “You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shit”😊
Ha!!! Thanks!
Ultras are awesome splitters in my thinking. And your channel Chris, has proved that.
Great chat fellas. I enjoyed that.
Have a great day. 👋👋👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Thanks Guys...
Thanks for watching!
Good one. Been watching everything "Eastonmade" since placing an order.
Nice! Thanks!
Chris, have You's seen the Whiland Rex 600c processor? They're an awesome splitter. Eats big wood and no need for the ultra. It also has 6 second cycle time.
Sounds nice!
@@InTheWoodyard $64,000. HEHE..
Great forum!😊😊
Thanks!
I would love to see a race with horizontal versus vertical splitter ! It would be interesting, to compare waste, fatigue...
Go to firewood on the hill, he just did a comparison between his 2 machines. A vertical versus a horizontal machine
yup
Nice job everyone. Can’t decide if I will make firewood or go fishing today. GNI
I would do both! 1/2 &1/2!
Going to be a great time at the HFH. Looking forward to going and might even bring the Brute Force along with.
Cool!
Good stuff fellas! You can’t go wrong with any of the commercial grade splitters! I guess I will need to order one since I will be 50 in a couple years🤣 HFH 2024!!!! I was there last year and I won’t miss another one! Can’t wait for the fellowship. Take care fellas👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Right on! 50! that was long ago for me, I was still in diapers back then!
Lol that looked like a lot of fun. The hysteria should be great. Wish I could make it. Not sure who dressed bert....Thats almost as offensive as a Maple Leafs Jersery :)
If I had an Eastonmade sweatshirt in an XL, I would have worn that.
@@BertsCustomCuts 😆
Yup, it always is fun talking shop!
Sure hope that Andrew supplies the "liquid refreshments" for the next bull session. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Nice discussion, I like Tony’s splitter, but it’s bigger and harder to move unless you have a tractor, like you both have.😊
Yup, it is a beast!
I'm thinking about about the axis to replace my supersplit need the log lift and would like working standing up
Yup, good choice!
Tony had one sharp looking hat on today.....😀
true to form it even sat on his head crooked.😉🙃🤪
The hat was straight, it's his head that is messed up!
Yup, the more you cover him up the better he looks!
@@InTheWoodyard that's a given he is a Stihl guy!😜
@@InTheWoodyard Hey now take it easy I resemble that remark.
Wish we had something like that charity event closer to my area. Indiana is just a bit far for me to be traveling right now.
No worries!
A very informative quintet. Live video for the future? From someone who only uses wood, “as in a toothpick!” Many thanks! 🏴
Great suggestion! Thanks!
Chris and his motley crew watch out Hoosier’s history will be made 😮😊❤
Yup!
Thanks Chris,are you gonna take saws, splitter or tractor to that event????
That's the plan!
Awesome I'd like to try within the next year to make it to some of these types of events
I think the splitter i got only came with an electric start. 😉👍
Nice to turn a key!
The delivery charge for the ultra is a third the cost of the splitter, only 300 miles away.
You can pick up at the factory.....
More in-depth than the Middle East peace talks, enjoyed the discussion! The sticker placement at the end, Berts work? 🇺🇸
Nope, that was someone else's handy work when he was there last.
Thanks, I put that on Tonys equipment a year ago and he never even noticed!
That veterans charity is that the one they were piling it in the barn to the rafters. ??
Yup, that is it!
I’d buy an Eastonmade if they used Honda engines. They are great machines but I’m a Honda guy so I’d buy a Wolfridge when I’m ready to pull the trigger. Both top quality machines.
They can be switched out and you could sell the other engine????
@@InTheWoodyard Or Eastonmade could offer both engines…I bet 99% would want the Honda. Honda small engines are The Standard. I lust after a high end vertical splitter….total game changer for bundle size wood.
I see a glass carboy fermenting in the back with an airlock. Who has what brewing?
I do not know? I did not ask, I figured it was none of my business.
@InTheWoodyard for a few years I had some stuff fermenting. Mostly cider and mead.
Nicolas it’s hard cider that probably will be distilled at some point.👍TCT
Elm! My nephew called it spaghetti wood after he split a bunch 😅
Yup, nasty crap!
Tacos, gum, and bottled water for everyone.
I am on restricted activities, as I had successful eye surgery yesterday.
Creek water...no fancy schmancy bottled water for us! Heal well!
Why is everybody in such a hurry to split their firewood? I enjoy my time being in the woodyard and if I get all the wood split. What will I do then? Watch more TH-cam?🤠

Get the work done faster so you so you can go fishing, hunting and what ever it is you enjoy!
nice!
yup!
My family is 6/7 generations of loggers, and I always remember them talking about all of the diesel engines having a hard time starting in cold weather. Is that still true?
Much better today but they still do not start as easily as a new gas engine.
Yes but they are much better now.
Chris at the end you panned the snowblower(?) that said "FarTKing" brand then you panned to Bert. Was that telling us something? LMAO Enjoyed the video.
Good eye! Yup, you got it!
Chris was the one farting all day.
I can’t wait to get mine unfortunately it’s going to be a year or so
You will love it!
What's Tony brewing in the back ground chris
I do not know.
@@InTheWoodyard it’s hard apple cider! 👍TCT
I know there are comparison videos out there, but I'm too lazy to search. How fast can one guy split a face cord with an Ultra?
If the rounds are right next to the splitter 15 minutes. It is easy for one man to split a full cord an hour.
@InTheWoodyard I find that hard to believe if you're talking smaller splits.
Good Morning 🎉
Good morning!
Morning all
Hello!
I see that Tony had a jug of something brewing in the background. Any taste tests?
I think that was some kind of cider???
As nice as the Axis is I think I would prefer the table layout of Buster for economy of motion to the conveyor.🤔
Both nice machines!
This has become the cat skinner channel.
Ha!
🎉
Thanks!!!
🤘
Thanks!
Where's the beer guy's ??
None of us are big beer drinkers and it was about 9:00am so.... sodas!
A good coffee would work for AM talk.@@InTheWoodyard
👍👍👍
Thanks!!!
"Your not Norwegian?" What do you mean? Did Honda say that?
Some, mostly Polish!
@@InTheWoodyard hmm
Joe from Ohio Wood Burner says he wishes he had an electric start.
yup
Mike, you need to build a quonset hut over your splitter area.... Rain snow or sun would bother you or the machines!...
That is a good idea!
I would love one but too much money Me right now I've only been doing firewood for 10 years
I thought that once too. My production TRIPLED when I got mine. and I gained my time back, it was a game changing bargain and my machine increased in value......you can't afford NOT to.

Only about $375 to go 5,500 miles.
Round trip. Well thats basically an oil change so probably over 400
Probably just a pipe dream..
Mabe next year sigh.......
Go for it! You will regret it when you are not able to some day. Live now, it is all you have.

I don't doubt this is good equipment, just hard to get the math to work for a $13k splitter when selling part time. I also have some concerns that the price and demand of splitters will fall when all the Ash trees are gone.
I did too but after my production increased 3x my doubts disappeared fast.
