    Andrew, it was a pleasure to meet you Stacey, and all the outstanding Eastonmade representatives. A special thanks to Schieb for kicking the tires and answering my questions. Mr G did a fantastic job with his salesmanship. For the life of me I couldn’t figure out the FedEx text the next day. I just about called her then it hit me. The handle. Now that’s customer service. You got me on that one. and a laughing thank you. You’re a man of your word.

    My 5-11 is always ready for the challenge and has been running strong since way back I want to say 2014, so would be the 10 year anniversary for it! Time flies, keep on moving forward.

    This machine looks like it was designed with the professional homeowner in mind. Like all of the Eastonmade products, the quality speaks for itself. Great video. Have a great day.

    I appreciate you showing how it splits this gnarly ash, this is real world stuff. To many manufacturers show just the straightest prime wood. Real nice machine.

    Suns out Guns out!! Love that grapple design! The top teeth closing through the bottom should work great for back dragging too I’d thing for easy clean up. No way Stacey will be able to resist!

    Andrew, I’m sure you don’t remember, but I picked up my 12-22 from you in January with my Dad, we drove up from Pennsylvania. The first job I ever used that machine for was 22 cords of what I call field ash - big and nothing but knots. It got a lot of sun, wasn’t very tall, but it had all kinds of limbs both externally and internally. The smallest wood on site was 24-26 inches in diameter. The biggest? Over 50. I wish I could post pictures in comments to prove it, but the 12-22 was absolutely masterful. Tall 4-way, it only ever kicked off auto-cycle three maybe four times the entire job. Having the ability to drop it into a single wedge is key, as is knowing how read grain, but regardless, it’s an incredible machine, and was one of the best investments I’ve ever made!

    Bought mine in January of 2016. Have run too many cords through it to count. Only minor maintenance items which is expected. I run a 4 way and a 6 way on it with no issues. Best investment I've made.

    Hi Andrew. Like all your videos. Splitter was doing a great job. Never split any ash but did some post oak and it was fun. Hardest think i ever split was trees that had been hit by lightning. O an it is always more fun to watch someone else do the work. lol

  • @dereksstuff8395

    Fuel sipper and decent splitting force. That's the perfect candidate to adapt an electric/hydraulic version so you could work inside. 👍👍

    @cliffjenkins6419 12 дней назад +1

    Great video Andrew. Must say I was relieved when you cut that big ash in half,I was expecting to see that wee skid steer blow a hose or something. Now that splitter is a revelation.... I mean 6.5hp and it did just great on that gnarly wood. It's a winner for sure. Starting out in the firewood buisiness or years of service for the home owner. Fantastic machine. Cheers from HB NZ

    Sometimes Ash can be nasty. Have definitely had some like that. The 5-11 is what I originally wanted and then talked myself into going with the 9-16. Gerry with a G got me to go with a 12-22 and I never looked back! - Tim

    Tank top in October? No way here in Alaska. I have the 5-11 with tall 4-way wedge and auto cycle. It’s AWESOME! It keeps 3 people busy if wood is organized. Think hard about whether you need to spend more for higher speed. We definitely got the right machine for us!

  • @clarkharms
    @clarkharms 11 дней назад +1

    You gotta put that grapple on a diet, a 450# mini skid steer grapple don’t leave much lift for the wood. That needs to be 200#’s. Cut holes, add gussets etc. I have a homestead grapple and before that ea wicked grapple both were 200#, lifted the max of my tractor without getting bent up.

  • @bwillan

    It would be interesting to see the sales stats between the 5-11 and the 9-16. I suspect that not many 5-11s are sold. For my dollars, I would take the Ultra over the 5-11.

    In your very educated opinion. Do you think horizontal splitters have more splitting power than vertical?

    • @EastonmadeWoodSplitters
      @EastonmadeWoodSplitters  12 дней назад +1

      Theres really no clear winner. The horizontal has more tonnage for sure, but the vertical is only pushing one blade through the wood

  • @ericbrinson9741
    @ericbrinson9741 12 дней назад +1

    Has anyone ever suggested a chainsaw scabbard somewhere on the splitter? If your running a tractor or skid steer around and bringing the logs over to cut them up by the splitter, I could see myself loosing sight of a saw on the ground and damaging it. If the saw was in a scabbard you wouldn't have to bend over every time to pick it up either. I'm sure it doesn't seem like a big deal to grab a saw off the ground but after not having to bend over I'm sure Id put the saw in the scabbard every time

    • @EastonmadeWoodSplitters

    • @ericbrinson9741
      @ericbrinson9741 12 дней назад

      @@EastonmadeWoodSplitters I also suggested on another video that it would be cool if you guys made a road legal log trailer with a grapple similar to a wallenstein 115. Obviously that’s a little more involved to build than a saw scabbard but maybe some day. I want to buy one eventually, and if an orange and blue one existed I’d be inclined to buy it
