Thank YOU for the great year, and here's to many more! If you enjoyed, hit that like button and share it with your friends/family. We appreciate all the support! - บันเทิง

I appreciate your support and machines all the same! Happy new year too you and your team Andrew.
🤘Awesome review, my searches are saved too, but no luck yet!
One will pop up when you least expect it lol!
Cool
Thanks for sharing brother
God bless
Just saying
Ah
We are glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching 👍👍
Happy New Year Brother! Eastonmade#1👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
Happy New Years brother 🇨🇦🇨🇦. And you got that right! 👍👍
It was my 12-22 that brought on the cooler fix after blowing up the cooler twice.. Gerry with a G came and swapped out the 12-22 to diagnose the issue at the shop..
Always good to have a team like that behind a product. Nothing is perfect that’s for sure!
I promise, Michelle will never know if another one shows up 😀
That machine with those grizzly bars is the cats pajamas !!!! That Eastonmade is so efficient its unbelievable. You have a beautiful set up there and the weather is holding off nicely as well. Right on 👌
I'm already excited for the next vid 😀
She might not, your right 😂 I’m really happy with how the grizzly bars turned out! And thank you! Weather is super nice right now, but I think winters coming back soon 😂
please, what is the outer diameter of the hydraulic piston and other dimensions, thank you
I believe it is a 4.5 inch bore. 3.5” rod, 24” stroke
You got lucky to get that Honda. I'm thinking about the 22-28 but that's a lot of money to spend with an engine you're unsure about. I just don't buy that the Briggs will have the longevity that the Honda has. Good to see everything else is going good.
I was lucky to stumble across a used eastonmade around here! And I hear ya, at least the engine is a easily replaceable part down the road. I still use a walk behind cultivator from the ‘50s that has the original little Briggs on it. Still works hard every year, Probably the most fuel efficient thing I own lol!
Great video, try the box wedge.
Thanks Jared! I don’t know if a box wedge will work great for our application, and they are pricey 😅.
Would be interesting to hear how the 7 and 5-way box wedge would work out for you. Remind me, do you do mostly furnace or fireplace type firewood? In the right wood my Wolfe Ridge with the 12-way wedge absolutely flies through the wood. BUT that wood needs to be fairly clean wood, aka not many big knots, or it will struggle with thst wedge. Might get an Eastonmade in the future or bundle wood as I'll be changing production over to bundles next year. Making bundle wood with my 4-way wedge is a pain. And slow too. Too bad can't afford two big splitters and solve the dilemma thst way.
That it would be, but the cost is to much for something that may not work out great. We do mostly firewood for small woodstoves, but bundles did better than expected this year.
And same with a box wedge, you want nice wood or it’ll be just to hard on the machine, and make a mess of the wood. If you were doing a whole lot of bundles I would most likely get a box wedge.
And two would definitely solve the problem, wouldn’t it 😂
@earthandbloom the Axis is the beat for prevention of waste shreddings when making bundle wood, but not as productive. But at $13k USD without the conveyor, os too expensive. For that price I'd rather get a 12-22 with box wedge.
@@thefirewooddoctor that is true, one day I will get a verticals splitter….or build one. The axis is amazing, but spendy at the new prices that’s for sure.
I think your right, with the right wood the box wedge would be better, just gotta deal with more waste. For a home owner setting, the vertical splitter would be a better choice.
@@earthandbloom got to try one a while back. Is an amazing machine. Can't beat the precision of the Axis.
My math adds up to 75 cords not 72.
63 +6+6= 75
Good catch! 😅 it’s good to know people pay attention to some things I’m saying lol! Thanks for watching!
The Axis will be a good upgrade if you can Afford it, it Produces better wood then the 12-22, If your doing Production or your splitting cords of wood per hour or your getting Tree service wood 12-22 is the way to go, If your doing boiler bundle wood were your splitting 24 to 36 inch pieces of wood and your splitting the sizes you want, the Axis is the way to go, what are your thoughts,
The axis is pricey, as are most the vertical splitters. They are great for making neat wood from those big or ugly rounds. One day we will look into it, or maybe I’ll come across a used one 😎
Nice camera work
Thanks Leroy! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Kind of surprised that they sent you a buy list for the cooler parts as opposed to simply sending you the parts, either for free or at a heavy discount. If the parts are only about $100 that shouldn’t be much compared to the good will and to ensure guys are getting the right parts and keeping their machines reliable.
If I asked for the hoses I’m sure they would have, but then I’d be waiting for them in the mail, I was alright with spending the few dollars locally. Our local hydro shop is great and had it all on the shelf.
I think I'll be getting mine in April. Northern lower Peninsula of michigan here. Usually we are buried in snow now. In my free time will be trying to build some piles of wood when it arrives. I'm thinking tall 4 way blade & 6 way. Nice review. I'm just a home burner maybe sell a little extra. Looks like a beast
Sounds like a bunch of 12-22 are being delivered around that time! Your going to really enjoy it, and going to need a bunch of piles! 😉. And you will probably end up selling wood, as you’ll have a bunch extra I bet.
Glad to hear it's held up so far. I didnt really have any doubts before I ordered mine. I ordered mine this past sept. or October (at the Paul Bunyan Show) and Gerry said I'll possibly see it this coming July, so fingers crossed lol. I'm the same as you and doing 95% tree service wood so I got the tall 4 way and 7 way box wedge. I'll have to see if mine comes with that bypass hose.
Your going to love it! Good to hear the times coming down. And all the new ones will have the bypass.
I ordered mine the same way as you, tall 4-way and box wedge. I ordered mine in November of 21, still no word on when I will get it. 😢
@@clarkharms why would you expect it any sooner then atleast next November
@@coady1681 because I was told to expect it in 12 months and I am now at 14 months. Do you think I should expect a 24 month wait?
Sweet splitter! It almost looks boring to operate the thing dang near splits the wood all on its own👍👍
My brother said the same thing 😆 offered to trade me his box store splitter to keep things interesting!
That’s a really nice splitter. Keep up the good work
They sure are! And thank you !!
What do you recommend for finding a used Eastonmade splitters
Keep searches saved, and lots of hours looking and looking and looking
👍👍
Where did you find the hour meter?
I ordered it off Amazon, just a cheapy
i mounted an houe meter on my honda engine almost same spot. it lasted about 1 hour and it quit working. I was thinking the vibration.
That’s interesting, I have heard of these meters just quiting when they feel like it! I feel there would be slightly less vibration on the filter housing than the flywheel housing.
How often do you grease your push plate Rueben ?
Every 5-8 hours
Hi, did you get that conveyor locally ?
Yes, they build them in Elmira Ontario
I found my 12-22 on Marketplace too. They are built and they put the wood out. Nice walk around. I’d love an Axis as well, we’ll be racing to get it if one pops up on Marketplace lol. I need to find an elevator for sure!
Definitely hard to find an eastonmade of the used market here! And I seen in axis in the summer but it was listed at retail.
Elevators are a must behind a commercial machine!
Also going to say and this is no slam at Eastonmade but it blows my mind there's that many people buying these splitters to have a 12 month plus wait time. I thought he had said on a video that they turn out 8-10 splitters like this one per week, but I could be wrong on the number. It would be an awesome surprise if Gerry called me some time in May-June and said its ready lol
They are a “small” shop in the big scheme of things. Gotta work around what parts you can get in I think. They keep getting bigger which will keep bringing down those wait times. Especially once parts get back to normal, but I’m not sure that will ever be “normal” again lol!
FYI I ordered my 12-22 a year ago and just called for an update and looks like at least a couple more months 😢
@@mikewright2917 Seriously! I thought their biggest hold up was engines and now there's no issues with the Briggs
I cant wait that long, July was bad enough but doable. Maybe I'll make a call Monday and see if they're still on track, if not going to look at these AllWood splitters
Some companies just don’t know how to grow to scale. Frustrating
