That Eastonmade reeks of quality . Blue sky and splitting firewood 🪵 is heaven to me .

[@survivingcountrylife7069]

Me too. It is a good machine. Buildt very heavy and well thought out. Hopefully I can have it the rest of my life

[@traviscover590]

I like your new video yesterday you did a really good jop on your wood good jop yesterday buddy

[@hartleyhomesteadmichigan6041]

Nice work!

[@survivingcountrylife7069]

Thanks man

[@greggschultz5768]

Waiting on my Eastonmade Axis splitter. Excited! Nice video!!

[@eastcoastoakes2232]

Honey locust is nasty stuff , this is the kinda video i was looking for

[@stevethiel5838]

Got some locust, can’t believe the size of the thorns! 2 to 3”. Cut thorns off with axe, roll and check twice before trying to lift!

[@survivingcountrylife7069]

This stuff don't have any thorns thankfully. You guys have told me it's called honey locust

[@henryholliday1]

@@survivingcountrylife7069 it is honey locust which has a thornless variety and burns good but its distant cousin the black locust splits far easier and burns way hotter and grows like a weed

[@daveabercrombie3446]

Thanks for the video! I love your Eastonmade's 'Bring me another one! This one's ripped ..er.. split!' attitude! Even with those gnarly, stringy black locust crotches. Cheers!

[@popsnorthcutt1741]

Locust is great firewood, we got some last year from a lot clearing to build apartments. Keep up the good videos Ben.

[@survivingcountrylife7069]

Thank you

Looks like you have a great jump on next year’s firewood. For the record your hoodie is a JPF & SCL hybrid hoodie. Cool looking hackberry log.

[@survivingcountrylife7069]

Thanks man. And thanks for the cool apparel

[@TheDriftlessHomestead]

Good work! Great splitter! 👍

[@stevesedgwick5789]

I also like JPF and wood yard, but don’t forget BBR

[@outdoorswiththisguy1950]

Man I love locust. I just put out a video of splitting some last week. Good stuff. Nice splitter, wish I had one like that

[@survivingcountrylife7069]

Thanks man. I love the splitter so far and has been a great tool and toy for me so far

[@JoesFirewoodVideosII]

Ben most of the locust that I get is black locust but once and a while I come across honey locust like you were splitting. Both are excellent firewood’s

[@survivingcountrylife7069]

I've been getting a fair amount of it. Now that I know what to look for it's more plentiful than I thought

[@hankjordan2602]

I seen where if you can use a chain to pull a stuck piece of wood off the wage.

[@survivingcountrylife7069]

In the wood yard. I seen em do it. Looks like a very good idea

[@destroy5055]

Real nice!

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

now the snow and cold is gone, now we gotta deal with the rain and mud #$%^!
Honey locust AKA heavy locust

[@survivingcountrylife7069]

I know right. It's drying up here for now thou

[@stever2633]

@@survivingcountrylife7069 eastern ny has some honey locust but more black locust, pound for pound I think it’s the best firewood given quick growing and quick drying times... just watch the dang thorns!

[@ericsalyer2869]

That wood pile there would be come nice dinner for a holzfforma g372xp with a 28” bar

[@survivingcountrylife7069]

Haha. It sure would

[@termitedave5356]

Hey Ben that Honey Locust is great wood!!!
Throw those Locust crotches in boiler, don’t try to split them they will destroy your splitter.

[@CBDabbs]

An Eastonmade can handle it.

[@stanleykeith6969]

Do you ever comment Ben on peoples remarks ?

[@stanleykeith6969]

On your video @ 10:15/15:36 when you get that log stick, instead of a hammer use the Hyd. to pull it off. Keep a length of chain with a hook on it. Wrap it around the pc. of wood and onto your pusher and pull it back off the splitter. let the machine do the work. Hope this Helps. Try this Ben. Also @ 10:47 I see the geese's shadow fly over your head. You can hear them. Hey Ben are your RPM's up the splitter is not pushing very fast. Hey Ben, go to GP outdoors and watch how fast his Eastonmade is, I think your runs slow. Check it out.

[@gusm5128]

Hey that’s a great idea mate 👍

[@dennisbarkley2234]
