I would like to see a product like that as well! Just don’t know how “In demand” something like that would be… the grizzly’s certainly can’t hurt to have, any amount of filtration is better than none! Stay tuned!
Now you have a visual of how to correct it and make it better. On the lower angle iron it needs teeth up to each tube to give clearance so the ends of the splits don’t get hung up on it. Nice work on the prototype!!!
Hey Jake and chris, I think you might want to explore the idea of making the wheel mounts available for mounting of a more robust Grizzly bar system. Instead of those wheels being bolted in, you can replace those bolts with pins that you can also utilize for mounting your grizzly bars.
Hello Jake, Happy 4th buddy. Another idea would make it mount on the wheel studs using a rod coupling, Then run a brace back to your original mounts 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Morning Jake, the grizzly bars look great. I like your idea of using a chain to support it, that would also give you the opportunity for some angle adjustment. Happy fourth
Hey, A for effort! Im no fabricator but i think you'll just need to widen the wheels out about a foot on each side, longer axle maybe? (If there is one). Then you can leave the wheels and have the grizzly bars in the middle
Good video Jake! You could probably put the two wheels on the outside of the conveyor using the same holes and hardware. Rebar is always a less expensive yet strong option for the slats. Good luck. It would be nice if Andrew made these as an option that can be purchased and shipped in a box.
Thank you, I have ordered some steel for a real set of grizzlies. It would be a nice option to offer for those of us using these machines loading totes or low trailers/containers.
@@jakebredthauer5100 it’s not junk if it helps me test and plan to get to a final design that will work well. His design is simple and seems to be effective, very well done 👍🏼
It was a good idea and a good effort, Jake. I think you’ll need to get over your angst about using the wheel mounts though. Consider using an axel type approach using the wheel mounts- a single rod mounting design that will come off quickly, should you want to move the conveyor. I get the feeling that you won’t need to be moving it around very frequently…. Thanks for sharing!
Jake I was thinking about getting an attached conveyor added to my order on 22-28. I was wondering your thoughts on that vs a separate conveyor ? I would like it all in 1 so I don’t have two things to move around . I don’t always stay in the same place to split . On the other hand I worry about losing the ability to move the hitch to either side of the splitter , if conveyor breaks down your at a stand still , also as you shown it needs grizz bars on the attached conveyor . I looks like the attached conveyor gives you more room to work with the axle being out of the way . Anyhow do you like the attached better and your thoughts ? Thanks
I have a Wallenstein processor with an attached conveyor. It works good but I prefer to leave my processor in one spot and just stack a huge pile. To do this I use the 16' attached conveyor to dump onto a converted 35' long conveyor. It means I'm running another gas engine and another 20' of space. I have several stand alone conveyors and they are much handier. I can also use them to hand load my dump trailers. And you are right about break downs being an issue on attached equipment. I have detachable hitches on my splitters and tow the stand alone conveyors behind them anyway. You will be happier with the stand alone unit.
So far I’ve really enjoyed having the attached conveyor. You will have more maneuverability with a stand-alone unit but I wouldn’t worry too much about breakdowns. From what I’ve seen all of the conveyor wearable parts are pretty standard and easily found. If the motor goes then so does the splitter.
@@DaleFarrish thank you for the reply. I like the ideal of a hitch on the splitter to pull the conveyor . Since I have an old Timberwolf conveyor I may just use that until it stops them but another separate conveyor . Like Jake shows I would prefer the grizz bars to help sort out the junk .
@@DudeRanchDIY Thanks Jake ! You guys have a great looking set up . I have a little time to make a decision about the attached conveyor but I’m starting think I may hitch the splitter & conveyor together . I think I would prefer the axle to the rear like on the attached conveyor but for $9k I think I can use the Timberwolf conveyor I have until it gives up on me . O btw I talked to Gerry at eastonmade today about grizz bars on the attached conveyor . He advised it would be in the way when folding it up ( I kinda figured ) as well as a good amount of weight . Maybe a disc tumbler would be the answer ? Separate the trash & have additional conveyor . It’s easy to spend $ on equipment . Making the $ is the tricky part lol.
@@1squirreldog yep I plan on having the grizzlies removable for when folding up and the support legs help support the extra weight off the hydraulics! The axle placement is awesome! Nothing in the way!
Are those baskets galvanized? Hard stuff to weld.and dangerous to breathe. Do your self a favor and get a cheap plasma touch. They are SO much fun! Thiz iz not a failure by any means. I enjoyed your video and glad you shared. Not everyone can be a Doug!
Yes galvanized, fan blowing and no breathing while welding. My buddy has a plasma for me just haven’t picked it up yet. Thanks for watching Mike, new design in the works!
What if you used similar brackets on the conveyor but also bring a piece above the bearing on the end of the conveyor so the wood doesn't bounce of the grizzly bars as much.
Andrew gave me the green light on making grizzly bars, Doug and I have been talking about it a little. They will likely mimic the standalone Eastonmade conveyor bars
If you leave a 2 inch gap off the splitter to the conveyor tray you will loose or drop alot of slash... Sharpen your wedge blades and it will eliminate a little more.. Manufacturers can not sharpen edges because of human dipshittery and of course our wonderful legal system. YuckDonalds hot crotch coffee comes to mind as well as 7 pages of warnings on about anything sold anymore.
@@jakebredthauer5100 Not quite sure on all the swiss watch engineering.... I just know that it works and has on every situation for 40 years. keep a tarp or tote bladder under the gap for easy slash removal!!! Keep buckin, splittin, filling that wood bank!!
The problem is not the spacing. Your issue is the angle of the grizzly bars is too shallow. With a 16' conveyor, there is not enough height to make grizzly bars work properly with a conveyor. To fix the scrap problem really starts at the beginning of the splitting process. Perhaps you could try sharpening your wedges so that the splits are cleaner. Or the better option would be to get a small disc cleaner.
@@jakebredthauer5100 Eastonmade makes 2 models of disc cleaners. Most makers of firewood processors offer either a disc cleaner or firewood tumbler of some sort.
I like the concept, but think you might need some help to actually fabricate some working bars!! Y'all have a Wonderful 4th of July!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
@@DudeRanchDIY in other words, you should of done some more thinking then processing because obviously you didn’t think the process through well enough therefor the failure
@@larrybartlett7419 as I stated multiple times throughout the video, this was a proof of concept using the recycled materials I had in my garage… I had no intention of it being the final version.

Great video guys. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. keep up the great work.
Thanks Andrew, no problem admitting defeat😂 Going to be placing an order for steel to mimick your grizzly bars on the other conveyors today

excellent proof of concept/ prototype!
Failure is a good thing, now you know what to change or improve on.
The only way to learn!
Now you have a visual of how to correct it and make it better.
On the lower angle iron it needs teeth up to each tube to give clearance so the ends of the splits don’t get hung up on it.
Nice work on the prototype!!!
Thanks for the help Doug!
Well that was a good effort for sure. I love and can respect how you are always trying to make the operation better! Take Care!!!
Always trying to improve! Not afraid of failure haha
Very entertaining and a nice first try👍 looking forward to mk 2
Version 2 is coming!

Thanks Dave, I’m going to be making a more robust set of grizzlies with the help of welder Chris. Should fix all the issues 👍🏼
Welder Chris is needed for sure.
For sure 😂
I use a pair or needle nose vice grips to hold one of my grinders when changing disc

@@jakebredthauer5100 it’s not junk if it helps me test and plan to get to a final design that will work well. His design is simple and seems to be effective, very well done 👍🏼
My thought is to make a bracket that slides over your wheels and is pinned at the rear. Then you make it as wide as you want.
That’s a good idea!
It’s always in the same position. Just make something free standing. That way you can easily move the splitter when you need to.
I think the final version will be fixed to the conveyor but easily removable
Jake,it might have been a failure but welder Chris has something to go by when he does his grizzly bar make ❤😊
Yep we got something good in the works!

That’s a good idea… and axle for the bars to kind of hang off of would be interesting.
Just rest the lower angle iron on the side of the tote. Plenty of support there.
Didn’t load the tote evenly
Very good effort Jake, just needs a littllleeee tweaking😅 Hope you had a great 4th of July!!!
Just a little! It’s in the works!

I noticed Chris was laughing at you in the background, make no wonder. lol
That’s nothing new 😂
Maybe try making like a hopper style guide because like you said your loosing stuff out the sides
Yep the new version we are fabricating will have small sides!
That was extremely comical, you had good intentions though. Better luck on the next set of grizzly bars.
Haha I tried! Welder Chris will be involved in the new set and they will hopefully work much better!!
Maybe welder Chris can work the grizzly bar layout so the wheels can pass between the bars
I think he can, new design in the works

What kinda camera do you normally use?
iPhone 13 Pro, dji osmo action, dji pocket 2
What if you used similar brackets on the conveyor but also bring a piece above the bearing on the end of the conveyor so the wood doesn't bounce of the grizzly bars as much.
The new one we are going to make will be much more sturdy and in theory won’t bounce at all.
Nice try! 😉KC Don 😉

You have the box wedge?
Yes the 7 way box wedge
Great try, Jake. It's now time for a "Doug" intervention. How about getting Andrew's engineering department involved?

@@DudeRanchDIY 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Grizzly's need to be at a steeper angle and probably a bit longer.
The new ones will be about 40” long and adjustable angle
Just buy one. Time and money you can be making money and not waste you whole day. Good try.
Not sure where you can buy grizzly bars for this particular machine. I will be making a real set soon!
People that don't do anything rarely learn anything.
Live and learn.
Nice try though
I learn from my mistakes and not afraid to make them (and post them for the world to see) 😂
why would you put bars in there , you need a flat surface use heavy sheet metal
How would a solid surface help filter out small debris?
You talk to much!
Just get it done Boy
