Eastonmade 12-22 How Fast to Split Facecord of Firewood?
ฝัง

- How fast can we split 1/3 cord firewood? We run all hardwood ash rounds through our log splitter, producing quality splits of firewood. How long do you think it will take us? We will show how a 4x8 stack of rounds translates to the same wood split and tossed into a 300 gallon Ibc tote.
We issued a fun challenge to other TH-cam channels to produce a video making similar splits with whatever machine you have, and it’s been a lot of fun. Here is our third run at it. These videos have helped show how quickly different machines and set ups produce firewood. #firewood #hardworkingman #allwood #eastonmade #splitforce #wolferidge #firewoodbusiness

Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to your channel! We met at the fellowship and THANK you so much for taking the time to chat with me about my power dolly needs. The guys at TRAX have been amazing! Even though its been a bumpy road (I have quite a story) I an excited to now have my dolly and see what it can do. Keep up all the great work! Look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Awesome and you’re welcome. I really think you’ll like it! I plan on doing a more in depth video soon. If we can get this mid to go away.

Rachel definitely got her workout in here. Run it again with her splitting now. Im with Bert. I bet you guys can do it faster. Nice job guys💪
She’s definitely do better! Smooth is fast and she’s smooth.
You two are certainly competitive ! Nice job keeping it fun
Thank you, this has been a lot of fun for sure.
Hector(?) described the Wood Bunny 🐇 perfectly.........smoooooooth!!😅
She’s one of a kind.
Definitely a lot of wood quick
It’s all coming together nicely!
Love the challenge
Thank you, we had a lot of fun with it.
Speed splitting! My 20 ton splitter only has one wedge. vernicle/ horizontal. keep your hands out of the 'Danger Zone'. Tom Cruz. BUT you mentioned that in video. I don't even like burning wood, but it becomes necessary, due to extreme COLD> You have to make sure it starts, then return, to damper it off, and after get back remove ashes. It takes a lot more baby sitting. from n. MN!
Burning wood is still better than buying propane!
Wow probably a cord of wood in less than 20 minutes if have a conveyor to clear the wood! Money printing machine right there! Thanks for sharing!
Yes it is, we definitely need to add a legit conveyor to the operation.
Well Heath... this time you have it coming from Rachel. And you know she's not gonna let this one goQ!
For sure Dennis.
Probably better to switch positions the next time. Heath I was waiting for you to run out of gas at the worst possible moment🤣
🤣🤣
Lol, I get to run the machines once in a while.
Rachel definitely wasn’t the bottleneck. Think about how ridiculous it is scoffing at 6 minutes to split 1/3 of a cord. It takes me a couple of hours with my box store splitter. Only a month and a half more before I get my 12-22. 🎉🎈
Oh yeah, it used to take me over an hour easily with my old splitter! You’re going to love it!
Nice work you two! I like the intensity. :) The Eastonmade 12-22 is a sweet splitter. I need to get a commercial splitter someday. Thanks for sharing. Have a good weekend!
Thanks Steve, the commercial splitters out there are nice and pay for themselves if you have access to wood and the ability to sell it!
You know, if you two keep practicing you might be able to beat me and the CountyLine! 🤣
We are gunning for you Jason!
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors I could tell. Eye of the Tiger! 🤣
Hey Heath and Rachel , good job . Can’t wait to see y’all at Bunyan !!!
Thanks Del, should be fun!
That was a tough one. I think it was the few mess ups
For sure. I needed to run clean to have a shot.
That was fun to watch! Thanks. 😉
Thanks for the feedback!
Nice work. It not all about speed. The 12-22 definitely a fast machine. The wood I get I think I got have more power. More power less speed for give and take. I am a one man show so don’t have to be super fast. Keep up the good work.
Yes it is, has plenty of power too. Tough splitting wood does slow it down though. Definitely can’t keep up with it as a 1 man show unless you have a conveyor.
Heath, once Bobby finishes mine let’s do the challenge again with two Allwood Musclewoods
Scott, that would be one fast 1/3rd of a cord especially when we get our auto cycle added.
Great challenge. Enjoyed being part of the challenge. Great work guys
Thanks, it’s been fun for sure.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors yes it has. We have a great wood hound community
@@mountaintopoutdoors for sure!
Love it guys. I was cheering for ya❤ try some green rounds to see if your time improves 😊
Kenny
Thanks Kenny!
Heath, Rachel's a better operator!! You should stick to loading!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
David, that she is but I get to pull the levers once in a while!
You two crack me up! Very competitive with others as well as each other🤣 That dry Ash does seem to split a little harder than Walnut🤷♂️ Nice work H&R👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
We are definitely competitive! I messed up on this one.
Great video. You messed up Heath. 🤭🤭
Rachel did a great job. 👍🏻.
Any way you look at it, it’s a fast 1/3 of a cord. For sure. So, in about twenty minutes you could have a one cord done. If you could keep up the pace. And in one hour, 3 cords done. 😳. Splittin machines. 👍🏻. Nice to see more. Have a great day.
Thanks Noel, I messed up a few times! It is crazy how fast you can crank out firewood with these machines!
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors 👍🏻
Still love this challenge, it helped me decide what direction o wanted to go when ordering the new splitter! I'd say without your couple hiccups you would have been just about even with the 765 guys. Ill do my second entry with the new splitter in a few moths!
I agree Tony! Glad it helped, that’s what it’s all about helping others and having some fun. Looking forward to seeing your new rig! I’m sure you’ll love it.
You need to do a homemade splitter wars anyway you can make it efficient
There have been a few home made splitters who have done the challenge. Phil and Karen from Allen Family Firewood ran buster and did it pretty quick!
I think Rachel needs to run the splitter . You did lose time I am not going to try I have a old northern kit one I got in 1985 with a 5 hp Briggs I think it came 4 or more boxes.i hope no one gets hurt. Take care be safe and well.
Thanks John, I agree, Rachel is a bit smoother on it.
Great job team HWM!👍💪👍
Thanks Jeremiah.
Heath that's a good run on it since you have saw rig and log table already set up I am hoping start the challenge next week of the week after I got to take it easy on my finger that's cut the bone isn't fully healed yet
Heal up Carl!
I don’t think my 37 ton rugged made splitter can compete with that. Haha
It’s all for fun to show what other set ups can do. Some people have taken over an hour.
That was entirely your fault Heath :P
There was comfortably 30s or so lost as a result of the sideways logs. Whenever there is an excess of wood on the lift I'd be clearing the discharge. I'm of the opinion that if there's 2 people working there then they should be working non stop. Standing around while the lift is full might give Rachel's pecs a rest but at the expense of some clutter at the discharge end.
On another note I may work myself pretty hard :D
Yes yes it was! I completely blew it!
Great video. I am waiting for someone to start a box wedge challenge.
I know Scheib ran his box wedge on the 12-22.
Great job. Very entertaining. Keep up the challenges. Always be safe and keep all of your fingers and hands. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you! We have a few more challenges to complete and have another one planned as well.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors you are welcome. Awesome, I look forward to your challenges.
I thought for sure you’d have somthing extra up your sleeve to gurantee victory 😂. The ash seemed to split good!
Nothing extra, just wanted to see how we could do with the 12-22.
Geeez Guys , gonna need a larger capacity oil cooler . !
If we ran non stop like this you may be right! Doubt we’d keep this pace up for too long especially without an elevator.
Let's do a head to head.
Now let Rachel split a third.
JB, we know she’d beat me.
Good job. But unless you’re getting prince valves in the auto cycle. You’ve got to wait until I get mine I Italian Maid valves in the auto cycle.
I’ve got all my rounds cut for the whole winter now if I only had a log splitter
Jeff, he had to special order a valve for us since our machine is set up differently from his current build. Waiting for it to arrive!
Are you getting a prince valve or Italian made valve? I can’t say which ones would be the best, but just watching them in the videos the Italian valves just look to be more refined in the way, they look, and they’re not shaking around like the prince valve do.
I talk to another TH-camr that recently just got a John Deere Green locust allwood splitter he told me it only took two months to get it, but I saw he had prince valves on it. I’m still kicking myself in the butt now for getting rid of my old log splitter. I’ve never waited this long for anything in my life.
@@jeffwhite2107 I have the Italian valves on mine. The wait is the hardest part.
The 12-22 is a nice splitter, but I don't think it is as fast as the others like the All Wood. The return speed could be a lot faster. Keep up to good work guys!
It is fast but not as fast as the All Wood, they are at different price points though.
Im surprised that ash split as hard as it did must be some real dry stuff . Looking forward to see how much speed you can get outa the axis.
We get some tough splitting ash sometimes. The Axis will be fun, but not going to catch you with buster.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors The other day we had a bunch of nice strait grain stuff all the right size an i tryed to get Karen to do a redo of the challenge but she didnt want any part of it lol. Pluss she wont let me turn it up yet but it wont be long
@@AllenFamilyFirewood lol. I still plan on running the Axis.
Go Postma’s Go
Thanks Eddie.
6.25. Lol. It would take me a hour and a half on my home made splitter. ( not kidding)But still better than chopping.
For sure! My old home built splitter was over an hour to split 1/3rd of a cord.
Good work guys! Would it help to try and tweak the 2 stage pumps? You never hear the motor labour down, not even a split second before switching to low speed. If you could shave a few hundredths here and there might make a difference on total time. Just an idea, maybe fun to try.🤷♂️
Pete, I adjusted the pump but may need to go a touch further.
@hardworkingmanoutdoors right on it would be fun to see the difference. It's like adjusting timing on a dragster compared to a high end race. I know that it all takes time, and you might not have that luxury, between your regular job and firewood processing. It makes for a very busy and long day. I like the way that you run that business as a family unit. I really love your videos...interesting. Keep on keeping on with the great work !!
Slower is smooth smooth is fast.
For sure!
Maybe Rachel should be the operator lol, Heath just wondering about the microphone you’re using, name and where did you buy them, I got cheep ones on Amazon and don’t sound right
Len, Rachel is definitely a smoother operator. The mics we use are Comica boom mics. They work pretty well when we remember to turn them all on.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors lol thanks
I could split that would almost that quick by hand that was really easy wood to split with no big knots or anything and I could have split it almost that quick by hand which is how I split all of my firewood. Not to mention splitting wood by hand is really good exercise
That’s moving!
I’d love to see a video of someone doing it by hand in this time with Ash! Id be so impressed!
Good try! P S Rachel didn’t mess up😂🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
No she didn’t but I sure did lol.
Also in # 389 we did the challenge in 4:10 seconds 🤣👍🏼🇺🇸
That’s right! 😂
@@outdoorswithlarryrobinyou guys flew through the rounds! I have your video on the play list!
Great fun, Thanks
Let Rachel the champian splitter split the wood.
I wanted to give it a go but Rachel is a smooth operator.
Sorry, doing a speed challenge with wood splitters is aking for an unfortunate mis-hap. Being the Firewood czar for the Falmouth Lion's, we unfortunately experienced a splitter incincident. Fortunately one of are members is a former army field nurse that carries his field medic backpack when we are splitting. Saved his life, we are seasoned woodaman performing this task, you just never know.
John, we definitely stay focused while running these and try to be cautious, you do never know though. Glad you guys hd a medic available and hopefully they can make a full recovery!
🌳🌳👍
Thanks Will.
Have you Folks sharpened your wedges ?
Yes, we sharpened it, definitely makes a big difference.
This should be " Hard Working Woman"
She definitely is that!
hi there you youngsters are so slow , 6.25 X 2 is about 13 min and that doesn't include stacking it , I want ONE person split and stacked the way they always do there firewood .. big pieces ,little pieces doesn't matter .no set up just the way you normally do your wood , 2 way 4 way 8 way a push is a push 2 way just has to push it twice , now you may be able to beat me with an conveyor but a toasted totes won't hold 1/3 cord .that means you will have to change the tote , now the big wood bags may work if all the wood goes into the bag if not got ya , i think they may call this check mate , it sure is fun . did you see the last 1/3 cords i posted . then there was one from 3 years ago . . you two put a big smile on my old face ,and if you get much closer i will have to turn the engine speed up past 1/2 way on my 50 year wood splitter
Yeah I shared your last one on the playlist on my channel. You’ll have to turn that thing up one of these days. As far as splitting and stacking goes you have a very economical set up. My firewood processing center is coming along nicely and should be a pretty efficient set up from log to split!
hi well it took me around 40 years so you are still ahead , love you 2 see ya at the friday night live at the PB show john@@hardworkingmanoutdoors
@@fricknjeep we will be there!
Try again Heath and let Rachel cut from the right side. That girl is fast.
Yes she is!
We going to have to demote you to just packing wood and let Rachel Roadledge spliter
For sure Tommy, I definitely wasn’t smooth.
@@hardworkingmanoutdoors you done good. That shows you are trying to do more for her by showing a little rust running splitter. You know she be smiling big. You know everyone needs to pay attention. They just mite learn a little something. Thanks a bunch hwm
I think your splitter it too slow.
If I didn’t mess up we would have been right on track with the time 765 guys put up.
Now do it again and let Rachel do the splitting. She will beat your time for sure.
Yes she would, I was sloppy!
Terve Suomesta, kyllä oletta tehokas työpari.
Thank you!
I have a challenge coming your way. Stay tuned.
Looking forward to it!
Valiant effort !!Any way you look at it, that was fast! 🪵🪓👍👏🇺🇸 Rick
Thanks Rick, definitely moving splitting 1/3rd of a cord in 6 minutes. It used to take me over an hour.
