The box wedge is one of the most misunderstood pieces of kit. People tend to think you can push any timber, no matter how knotty, and it will cut the timber perfectly, reality is it doesn’t. Yes it will break it up, but you get a lot of waste. The box wedge is intended for clean timber, and a rapid throughput of timber. It is a production machine. We have been trying over here for the best wedge for knotty timber, and have found the four way is best. Because you can control the split better, something commented on in this video. But if you have clean timber greater than say 12” in diameter, there is no faster way of splitting, with minimal effort.
Excellent input sir. Thanks for sharing.
What a beast! Absolutely amazing combination!
Man o man I loveeeeeee that Diesel engine dude, can’t beat a diesel. Good looking splitter Andrew.
Thats a beast
Love my box wedge, 30” red oak round, 18” long, start to finish, 1:53. On the old splitter, probably about 30 minutes
That’s one beast of a splitter 👍🇮🇪
The Recycle time on the 24d is Insane, The Box Wedge Plays a Huge Role in the Bigger Pieces such as 12 inches of Bigger, All i can say a Great Log Splitter,
I've watched this video more times than I am willing to admit. This thing is awesome
Love that box wedge! ✌️
Awesome equipment Andrew!
What you have here is the finest splitter/processor design engineer on the planet.
Really appreciate the support!!!
Hey Andrew that’s almost as fast as my 12-22 Lol great video brother 👍👍🇺🇸
If a person did not have a conveyer, it sure would keep a few guys busy stacking wood. Guess that is why we have kids, LOL. Hope you have a great week
What a machine! What a great tool for making bundle wood.
What a beast! I did not realize that the lift arm did that. That’s pretty cool! 👊🏼
Thanks for showing me the box weg, it's impressive.
Love that spliter that thing is fast and awesome
Some day I hope to have one awesome products Andrew thankyou for doing what you do!
Nice video Andrew. I use the box wedge all the time. My customers love the results. Yes, there is a bit more scrap wood, but, I have customers buying it from me for kindling in their fire pit. Keep up the nice work and videos.
The lanark is strong in this guy.
Lol...not the first to mention that
That is wicked fast! I love my box wedge. I even raise it up all the way to expose the single portion of it and send the limb wood through.
Make pizza wood with rhe pizza cutter machine!
Andrew, if I was 20 yrs younger, I would let you sell me one of those beasts!!!! Thanks for sharing & have a great day
Thank you for thanking us for the subscriptions. You got me last time with the comment about all commercial splitters being good and yours not being the "only one". If I could afford a good splitter I'd buy yours for sure
Really appreciate the support chris
Dam I think this is the perfect splitter now Andrew!!!
What a machine, tragic I'm down in New Zealand and transport is a bit of a logistical nightmare.
Andrew, don't worry about scraps. No big deal I have been splitting for over 50 yrs. Everyone needs KINDLING, unless they r the biggest bullshitters on earth. Great products. I wish I could have 1 of those 24d's. Maybe my 75 y old back would still work then.
That is one cool machine!
Such a tease. 😂 Can't wait to try out the 12-22 we ordered last year. Should be here shortly they said.
That sure is a very nice machine!!
Maybe just maybe one day I can afford to get one.
Heck of a machine!
Oh yeah babe! I’d LOVE to have a 24D with a box wedge. Like most everything else you make, it’s a beast! Keep it up Andrew and crew!
That looks like a sweet set-up. Easton Made appears to be good quality.
Great machine, handled that wood well. Pretty fast cycle time to. Very good for a one man band. There are some amazing firewood machines nowdays,wish they were available when I was firewooding. Cheers good video.
That box wedge looks like it can take a beating with those bigger logs.
Nice splitter.
Pretty sweet
You get to play (use) some cool stuff!! Deservingly so. I really enjoy your accent.
Hey Andrew I would love to see a pizza wedge work with that new diesel. I haven’t seen a lot of videos with the pizza wedge. Keep up the good work.
Ill see what i have kicking around!!!
This one is so fast, it looks like it is sped up. Even when it is not.
Amazing
Wow looks awesome! I would be interested in seeing your 37d with your pizza box head run
Andrew and Eastonmade gettin’ after it!
you sure make great products!!
Thank you!
It would be a dream to own this kick ass pieceofmachinery.. I still want to split firewood even after my Major Back surgery..
I love the ultra but need a lift if I don't want repair surgery number 4
Great video now I have to go out and split wood with a 1994 Brave splitter
It looks 👍
That is wicked fast Andrew -LOL. I really appreciate the design on the log lift - especially in the forest or any other place with uneven ground, the lift will always simply settle on the ground below it, whereas other machines will lift the splitter up often because they are connected. Also safe too, as you mentioned. Cheers!
Appreciate all the support gord!!!
Engineering may be Andrew's
most outstanding skill.
I can vouch for the box wedge. Excellent for the big rounds. Makes life easier.
What about for two or more
smaller rounds simultaneously?
@@jakebredthauer5100 I would assume it's possible, as long as they have good contact with the push plate
Sweet machine… can’t wait to see what my new 37D with the fast piston pump and conveyor this month can do.
How did you like the 37d
@@hookedonfishing6159 it’s the best splitter money can buy because of the speed and power. If you get a selection of wedges like 4way/8way& box wedge you can split any wood. Thinking about getting the 12 way just cuz.
Great product's. Love your equipment and your honesty. Do you have any ideas for a debarker?
o melhor rachador de lenha que ja vi
That is impressively fast. I have some pics from Ottawa of the Disaster I will have on my next video.👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
Lots of tree down everywhere
Hello
Andrew, I have been talking to Gerry and was all set to get a 24D and then understand it would be 14 months waiting period...UGH! So sorry it takes so long. You have beautiful equipment and as you say "It is so fun to run". All The Best to you and your company! GS
Thanks greg. We are incredibly busy
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitterswieviel cm Länge spalten sie ? Eigentlich brauchen sie einen Ramp Agent der die Rundhölzer immer auf die Rampe lädt und ständig nachlädt. Gute Maschine. Grüße aus Deutschland. 🇩🇪
I like this set up along the Axis...seems like great even splits an size... can a conveyor be added to this to haul somewhere?
Andrew, love the box wedge! The music, not so much, sorry.
Just watched this again, and that was a great demonstration of the box-wedge on that splitter, Andrew.
Now, the ultimate, most useful, demonstration needed on those high-flow splitters is to temporarily remove the flow restrictor from the log lift and see how far you can catapult a log. You need to be holding a beer when you do it, just for aesthetic effect. :)
Lol...it has been done
🤣 We need video proof or it didn't happen! 🤣
With this machine and set up, the chore is to keep pieces positioned so you can get them loaded onto the lift fast enough to keep up with the machine. I'll take that over using a maul to split wood anytime.
Hey, you ever thought about putting a crane and tongs for the older guys.
Great machine Andrew I hope you can sell a lot of them, you make me want one, but I have two now. I would have to justify another , I don’t think my wife would understand. Great videos keep on manufacturing
Far easier to beg for forgiveness than ask permission
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters
I was thinking of a name for the new model that you have proposed. Because it cycles continuously, what about calling it a super cycler? If you had a machine to load it, the labor to operate it would be close to nothing.
For a generic name, universal splitter, would be better than kindling machine.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters
In this video most of the time the operator is watching the wood go through the box wedge and operating the controls. That labor would be eliminated with the kindling machine.
The best feature of the log lift is that it will not lift up the machine if you lower it all the way down. Huge advantage to not lifting up the machine as can happen with other designs.
These Easromades are like the Dave Chapelle of wood splitters. The procuct is hilariously correct and efficient when they start splitting.
Easton
Hey Andrew - put a challenge out there - if you get 20k or 25k subscribers before Canada Day, you'll shave your beard. Cheers
Lol
How does the box wedge work on shag bark hickory?
Awesome looking product any chance in the future that maybe might incorporate a hood over engine or engine compartment to keep out of weather? Maybe something that when in operation that you can raise or open to let heat out? Just some suggestions
Andrew gave an answer above on this. See the red circle icon with a capital "A".
Scraps make good kindling.
I like the sound of the machine but can the music
HI THERE ANOTHER NICE SPLITTER WELL DONE . ARE YOU GOING TO THE PAUL BUNYON SHOW JOHN
Going to try john. Really appreciate the support
The box wedge is part of the versatility that make the Eastonmades great. On my 12-22 set up, I use it for oversized fairly straight grained wood, which is probably 20% of what I split. I’ve found the tall 4 way is the ticket for 60% of the wood I split and the 6 way fits that remaining perfect size wood. I’d recommend all 3 wedges when buying a splitter. I got my 12-22 in February and have put 50-60+ full cord threw it! They are awesome machines. Hey do you have those fancy Eastonmade hats available? -Steven
What happens when
you put two or three or four
(smaller) logs on the box wedge
at one time? Perhaps you have
never tried it. I suppose the first bite would be smaller in some cases. In other cases I suppose the log would move out of place. The output and versatility of the box wedge may be increased.
Hey Steven same here. I got the same set up and process going with my 12-22. Got mine in February and I'm around 50+ cords done as well. I don't utilize my tall 4-way enough though. I may start using it more now that I've read your post TY. These machines are all great. If I could retire from my teaching job and get my pension before I'm 55 I would and I'd do firewood full-time. It's really fun now with these machines.
Did you buy all three wedges for it ? If don’t mind me asking what was the cost your post saying 7 months ago so 2022
When are ye going to make a pallet making machine
Whoops, i was commenting just as ya said there was a pizza wood wedge...LOL 👍👍 haven't heard back from Gerry yet tho
Gerry is gone fishing the next week. Someone at the shop will be able to help.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters thanks!
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters can we see that pizza wedge in action in an upcoming video?
Can a firewood processor be set up with a box wedge? Who was the first to design the box wedge. Its new to me upto a year or two ago
Is that a built in safety feature that the log lift tray does not go down unless you push it back down? As always, NICE machine Andrew.
Never mind. I posted before you finished talking. As usual for me. Lol.
Lol no worries ray
ray I was thinking the same thing, came to the comments to see if anyone mentioned it. found yours, and then right after Andrew starts talking about it.
Have you thought about making a hood for engine and hydraulics? It would make the machine look smarter and give weather protection.
I have for sure, we try to keep it inside 48" for the sake of shipping
Are you going to make a box splitter for the 22MB or the 48 C
Andrew, how do I get my 8 way wedge for my 22-28 delivered ? Those boys forgot to bring it when they delivered my splitter, I've called the office, then emailed Henri and he said he'd take care of it, that was well over a month ago. I might need the boss to step in and give these guys a reminder not to forget what they forgot.
Ill get on it. Whats your actual name? Welders are about 3 or 4 weeks behind based off our computer system. The wedge likelu didnt get back dated.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters My name is Michael Tonn, I'm down in Southern Ohio
Do you guys have any suggestions for making less scraps from the box wedge? I love my machine, but I’m a one man team and cleaning up the scraps from the box wedge really slows me down.
Andrew, I see that this machine is very quick. My question is, if I’m trying to work through some uglies that are laying around can I idle the machine down and still get the tonnage. Sometimes the big uglies need to be played around with and you don’t want all that speed for them. Nice machine
Yep for sure you can
When are you going to up grade your out feed chain
Good day Andrew, I m new to your channel I have been power watching all or most of your videos going back to 2019 through 2022 so far. That 24D with that 7-way box is a real cocker it really does a great job. I am not a wood guy but in my younger years I had many friends that were mostly for heating their homes we would all get together on weekends to help cut and split firewood so I did have a little experience working around firewood only there were no splitters available to us back in those days two would cut two would split with a mall. So I was just wondering about something. I happen to notice there were no or I didn't see any grease fittings on any of your splitters is that by design? oops, I did see one video that showed the assembly where there was one area there was some kind of lubrication between the brass and plastic but maybe one on the lift would help some, But what do I know I'm just a computer guy from Boston lol
Appreciate the support charlie. The pivots all run on nylon bushings thst dont require grease
Hey Andrew, do all the 24D's have the piston hydraulic pump? I have seen a video with you talking about a piston pump, but the website appears to show a different pump on the 24d? Thanks
Yeo they all do now
That's an awesome machine but can't justify the cost.
what is the big difference between the 24D and the 22-28 machines.
What machine is the smallest that you could run a box wedge on for boiler style wood?
5-11
Good morning, are all 24D splitters now coming with the piston pump and with the 2.9 second cycle time? Thanks
Yes they are
Help me understand the difference in 24D and 22-28 splitters
24D is a diesel unit with 24 tons. The 22-28 is a gas unit with 37 tons. The 24d cycles twice as fast as the 22-28.
So Andrew is it possible to have a boxway wedge made for like the 22MB processor Or something similar to get more consistent wood and not have to do respliting?
No...japa has a patent on a box wedge for a processor. Check out the japa 435. Really cool machine
What’s up buddy make sure you put this up on Tik Tok 💯💪
Last couple of videos ive done in 4k and theyre to big for tik tok. Think i can resave them smaller though
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters can you tell me how to get to you're pricing page
@@elmernelson1694 www.eastonmadewoodsplitters.com
Andrew, have you guys thought about rotating the Axis engine 90 to direct the cooling air away from the oil tank and operator? Down hear in Georgia, the hot air coming off the engine is brutal. Splitter is great, but I’m getting roasted.
Only hard part with that is placing the hydraulic pump that much further from the engine and the engine being in an awkward spot. Might get away with turning it 90 degrees. Havent looked at it for a while. Appreciate the feedback
I swapped some new piping onto my muffler output and now the exhaust exits away and up. Did get pretty toasty before doing so.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters
I am assuming there is a fan involved. Maybe turn the fan around or put the fan on the other side.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters I don’t understand your comment regarding pump being “that far away from the engine and the engine being in an awkward spot”. My thought is to swivel the engine 90 degrees CCW where it is. This would direct the cooling air horizontally, towards the lift table end and away from the oil tank. This will also put the engine exhaust the farthest distance away from the operator as possible.
@@jakebredthauer5100 the flywheel generates the airflow is directed across the cylinder fins for cooling by the engine shroud.
What is not at the correct tolerance or square that you have to push down the log lift because it's binding?
Did you not watch the end of the video?
I ordered a 7 way box wedge for my old 22-28? Will that work on the with it being an older model? Also, what is the cost of a New push plate? My push plate does not have the part for the pull back arm to go?
Really depends on the age of it. If you have a small frame 22-28 the pusher wont work. If you call the shop henri will be able to help you out 613-812-3213
Can you put the box wedge on all the splitter even the smaller ones ? And how much are the wedges for them ?
No. 5-11 through 37d
please, what is the outer diameter of the hydraulic piston and other dimensions, thank you
Hello, Andrew, nice to see and hear You again. This is Your viewer from Europe exactly from Lithuania. I make and sell about 40 cords of firewood every year. Until now I did it only with a chainsaw and fiskars axes. But I want to go bigger, so because of Chris "In the woodyard" channel on TH-cam, I decided to buy an ULTRA wood splitter. Because my sister lives in the UK, she ordered one for me at "Logs and saws". I can't wait to get and try it. And my plans are to buy a dump trailer for firewood deliveries and transporting ULTRA. The problem is I couldn't find dimensions of Ultra, so, I don't know how big my trailer should be to fit it there. Could You tell it for me, I'd be very thankful..? The other questions is how I could get those nice Eastonmade caps for summer and for winter..? I would really like to wear them by doing firewood. I like your machines and this channel. Good luck for You. Best regards from Lithuania.
44" wide x 90" long
Can you change wedges from 3,5,7 or do you buy one machine specific to your needs?
you can change to almost any wedge configuration easily
Wish I got the 7 way box instead of the 5......anyone in Eastonmade Land wanna trade my 5 way for your 7 way. My 12-22 is amazing, everything I hoped and then some, the pieces are just a bit too big with the 5 way. Love all the new videos though Andrew, thank you.
The wedge shown here is a 7-way, correct?
@@jakebredthauer5100 yes that's correct....5 way the prices are just a little too big for most of my customers
@@brianbenjamin4225 He said it was but I needed to hear it the second time because somehow I ignored it the first time.
Maybe ask about a trade-in. In a recent video he talked about trying to make the customer pleased with the product, warranty etc. He could sell it to someone who didn't get a box-wedge to start with. That would be more likely than a trade with another user. How much do you want for it?
@@brianbenjamin4225
This is what you could do.
Buy a 7, sell the 5. That would be effective and most simple to do.
If you welded in two more knives, it would be a 7 way.
What happened to the logrite pickaroon? Do you like this one better? I have broken 2 tips on my logrite and am looking for other options. Thanks
I think the log rite is the best. I broke the end of this tip the other day. These ones are cast and the heavier handle isnt as nice to use. I do like the fact that the handle isnt round, seems to index in your hand better.
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters I've had 10 tips on order for about 4 months. I've received 2. Thanks for introducing me to the hookaroon/pickaroon, I'm never going back to the old method!
Hi Andrew, I've had my 12-22 for two years. The splitter is fantastic, but I've worn out my hat. I called and left a message but haven't heard back. I hope that means you are busy making new splitters. ;-)) Can you please tell me how I can order a new hat. Thanks and take care! Shalom/gw
Will get it on the list for tomorrow george!!!
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters Thanks Andrew. Leg me know what they cost and I'll send you the money.
Is the box wedge bolted on or can it be lifted off the splitter ?
It is adjustable and removed without any tools
I would not Consider that’s scrap that’s just free kindling you aways got to look at the positive side of things
Andrew whats up with log lift that you have to push it down every time
Did you make it to the end of the video yet glenn?
@@EastonmadeWoodSplitters yes I asked before you answered on the video it caught my eye since I had never seen it do that on the other videos that I have watched with other Easton made splitters thought it may be some kind of new option or something sorry
