My grandad loves watching your videos. He's 71 and we live in New Zealand. You have kept him so entertained throughout our lockdowns, he loves seeing all the machinery and woodwork you do. Thank you so much 🥰
im also from new zealand my 80 year old grandad use to split 20 ton of logs by hand but he passed away earlier this year but we own his house now and im taking over and starting my own business
When I think of a Canadian Lumberjack you my friend is what I envision, in the last few weeks of watching your videos I have learned so much about felling trees, power saws, and axes, and what a decent human being should be. Thank you for all that you do, the world is a better place because you're in it!
That machine is definitely a beast. The wood was incredibly stringy, knotty,& heavy. Sure didn’t have any effect on that machine lol. Love it when you use that splitter. Great video Buckin! Thanks 🙏🏾💯❤️💜🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾
I am so glad I came across your channel a few weeks ago. I remembered watching you and your son on Axe Men years ago. I can’t get enough of your videos. You have a big fan down here in Atlanta, Georgia.
Man those are some beautiful rounds!!! Pretty awesome when one round splits out to like a Quarter Cord!!!! 😂😂👍👍. That splitter is an absolute beast!!! That hydraulic lift flips those massive rounds up to the table like they are light as a feather!!! Man O man is that the king of splitters!!! It’s really fantastic that you are going around and blessing folks with the free splitting because you were fortunate enough to have gotten the splitter to demo.... I absolutely love your wild and crazy love of the wood and that you are preaching that we can make the world a better place...right now if we will love our neighbors...love everyone !!! I think your giant heart is a tribute to what a wonderful mother that you have!!! Absolutely love your momma!!! One cool lady!!!
Watching that machine working is a close second to a watching a splitting maul and a chopping block in action, sorry Buckin couldn’t resist. It sure was a nice gift for the channel any one would be proud to run it.
As someone who ain't used a lot of axes I learn a lot when you split wood manually but I also love Eastonmade and watching that thing destroy that pike of wood was awesome to watch. Someday when I grow up I'll have one of my own.
I’m prity sure the boys at Easton never would have thought of seeing a round that big in there splitter Lol I live about 20 min from there shop Love wins again
I subscribed to Andrew's chanel last year when i found out he was here in Eastern Ontario near Ottawa. I love his videos because he shows how capable his machines are. I have seen a lot of videos of Americans using his products and giving only good comments about them. Thank you to our friends south of us buying Canadian made products.
When the best wood splitter in the world is made in Canada then thats where I go. I'm in a long line with others waiting on my Eastonmade 22-28, won't be long now.
I use to run a two station with the Conveyor in the middle. Loaded right in to the back of the dump truck. We used pulp hooks to move the wood around . Helped with hand fatigue. Happy splitting ✌️❤️🌲
Not me. It’s kinda hard to do it without keeping your hands close. It’s certainly not a machine for a novice,somebody impaired or for somebody tired/not alert to be using though.Obviously Buckin’ is none of those.
Thank you for a great video. I have a small electric log splitter. Slow but effective. I have recently become a volunteer in a local park. I had 2 chainsaws, 1 stihl and one larger cheaper make. Last year we had a storm and a few trees blocked paths. I was there like a shot, firewood! Free firewood!. Not to be, it appears that volunteers in the park have to trained and insured to use a chainsaw!
The speed of that hydraulic ram is impressive! So is the fact that you still have all of your fingers! It's a good thing that you're no longer a drinkin' man, Buckin'! LOL!
About 2 weeks ago I took down a white oak then cut it into rounds and split them.. the rounds themselves weighed around 700lbs so we could barely move them 3 feet! The diameter of the rounds was 42”, great video Buckin! Love seen the new splitter action!
How perfect is that Buckin?!!.. Very nice unit and looks pretty light with the single axle and all.. Thanks for sharing and putting a smile on our faces.. Keep on keeping on my Canadian brother.. SLANT'E
I just noticed the saw piston on Myrtal’s shifter! I’m absolutely going to be stealing that one!!!! Wooohooo!!! Man that big old beautiful splitter really gets the job done...that was a huge pile of split Cedar...my goodness I could just lay there next to it and soak up that amazing smell for an hour!!!!
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith it’s funny... I think about stuff I’ve seen in one of your videos and I need to come back to look at it again... I just love the look of this wood!!!! Or this Delicious looking Doug Fir! Did another triple ash... she was a decent size for these parts! Probably 130-140’s... triple leader...they were right around 36” thick sticks... so it was a real blast running the 32” bar on the 066... she blasted it right up...
I luv it Buckin. Nothing like getting out in it and splitting a load of wood. Works good, seems a little jerky. Thats probably due to the size of the valves on the hydraulic system. I noticed that it retracts very rapidly. Had to design a few hydraulic systems to graduate Cat school a few moons ago...
Know one on RUclips can outwork you Billy your a animal Bill (I mean that in a good way) when it comes to hard work get out of his way, great job Billy
Darn nice splitter there Bucking. Think of the amount of would you could turn out with that baby. Thanks for showing it off. It looks like a great design for all those big chunks of wood . It rides nice behind Myrtle too.
I have two questions: 1) where do you burn that fir? Does it have lots of creosote when it burns? 2) I notice you don't wear gloves handling that wood. Ever get splinters? My hands would be too soft for that! bob
Fir is about the same BTU as most hardwoods. Doug Fir to White Oak for example is 26M BTU per cord compared to 28M BTU on oak. By contrast, maple is but 22.7M BTU. All this means it burns hot and thus clean.
We burn it in our wood stove here in Oregon. Some logs can be pretty pitchy and cause creosote. I always keep a tub of meecos dry creosote destroyer and add to every other fire.keeps pipes clean.but i burn hemlock,alder,port orford cedar,fir,pine,sitka spruce, alaskan yellow. If its seasoned its good..the fir is a great firewood in the PNW.
I guess it really wouldn't work much cause you got to spin and push the round to keep it on the table I thought if you hooked into it you could slide it under the splitter but you know whats best your the man keep up the good work I really love your videos your an inspiration I want one of these splitters I want to follow my dreams and make a good honest living and I know this splitter could take me there any advice on being successful in the firewood industry?
i dont understand ,, but didnt build it . Andrew wood be more than happy to explain his build process im sure if you are wondering why it is this way , not something i even thought of
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith ...I should say that machine is BAS ASS fast! I notice most of the splits come off the right of the head and you pick them up to move to conveyer. If they came off the left side, you would slide the split to exit. Much like you holster the axe.
Ever split ash? That's some tough wood to split. Green or dry its still tough. Knotty and strong. Its a nice hard wood and great for burning. Smells amazing too.
i love these videos - but I love all your videos - but these log splitter ones are so satisfying. also- how you're not wearing gloves whilst doing all this is so impressive to me. i imagine your hands are like leather 😅
Despite having a convertible splitter--vertical & horizontal, you wind up spending a bunch of time bent over. This is clearly a back saver! However, I don't think it could handle the truly gnarly stuff I have to split! Mine is a 28 ton Oregon with the Honda engine (I have Honda's on all my stuff--Shreader, chipper, mower, pressure washer, rototiller, and all my splitters).
Buckin' my boy that is a splitting MARVEL! But by god the elevator is for a better use at puttin' er in the Mercury not back on the ground my boy AY! Love your channel Great person, Great life!
The Eastonmade Axis is a good machine for speed splittin ' Gets the job done. Those rounds were so big that a nutball like me wouldn't stand on them to roll. I like to be a little closer to the ground when i fall. Oh yeah, I'm a faller of a different sort. 😊
Hey billy I really love watching your videos I know your a hands on guy but if you suggest trying a hookaroon to handle those big rounds it might help some the short handle ones work great..
I know I’m new here but … I can’t help thinking 1 round cut widthways twice would make 3 lovely table tops when given enough wax / oil / varnish in a bar or even in an all wood environment ?
Vary nice spliter looks like it would split the truck if ya got it in the spliter.. it dose a great job. .it looks fun to work it. Love wins. My friends.
Man oh man I’d like to have one of those splitters. Not a bad review out there. Quality machine. Id almost give up my first born for one. Even trade 😂. Just kidding. 🤔

Man I wish I had a machine like that when I used to split. Wrestling rounds onto a fixed horizontal I-beam splitter wasn't doing my body any good.
LOVE when you get all excited you get lots done what an amazing piece of machinery
Does buckin make anyone else nervous when he’s running that splitter? Keeps his hands close to the action. Be safe Buckin! Love ya brother.
He b ok. Experience
legend has it he has never got a splinter ever in his life
theyre pretty safe the vertical ones, i used to use them as a kid working for my grandfather in the school holidays
I'm with you on that one. Sometimes slower is faster. No healing time involved.
Not me. It’s kinda hard to do it without keeping your hands close. It’s certainly not a machine for a novice,somebody impaired or for somebody tired/not alert to be using though.Obviously Buckin’ is none of those.
Keep up the good work buckin, I think the axis fits your style, you can split once piece at a time like an axe where you want it with precision
Look forward to every update!!! Keep them comin!

Know one on RUclips can outwork you Billy your a animal Bill (I mean that in a good way) when it comes to hard work get out of his way, great job Billy
You worked so hard your shirt changed colour. I admit I love the splitter though your old ute is even better
Howdy yall
And hello Billy hope you are having ah great evening so far.
Buckin’ Billy Ray Putin’ on a clinic of how it’s done.
I can see you get the same enjoyment from splitting gnarly knotty Douglas Fir as I do!
Nice work bud👍
There's just something cool about watching logs split!
Darn nice splitter there Bucking. Think of the amount of would you could turn out with that baby. Thanks for showing it off. It looks like a great design for all those big chunks of wood . It rides nice behind Myrtle too.
not bad brother
Thanks for all the good content buck

What pressure is that ram pushing the engine didn't miss a beat very impressive bit of kit
All the splitters I've used and seen. That's a nice one and the conveyor awesome too. Good video a god bless you
thank you
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith for sure ! Thank you for your videos!
Great log splitter, and it is very fast, pay attention to your hands, greetings and good work 👍
Nice see you got a helper keep stuff going BR. You guys knock some splitting out.

That's some big chunks!
Being a tradesman, for 30 years, I watch guys roll. Your machine set up should be left to right, because thats how YOU roll.
I guess it wood depend on weather you left right or ambidextrous … ?
i dont understand ,, but didnt build it . Andrew wood be more than happy to explain his build process im sure if you are wondering why it is this way , not something i even thought of

That is some big stringy wood! Kinda splits like Elm we have here in Missouri!
Ever split ash? That's some tough wood to split. Green or dry its still tough. Knotty and strong. Its a nice hard wood and great for burning. Smells amazing too.
@@mikeznel6048 lots of ash trees dying here due to the ash boring beetle
Only stringy at the knots otherwise pretty straight grain like red oak and nothing like elm.

I have dozens of rounds this big or bigger in my woodshed down here in Oregon.. I gotta get a splitter eventually, they are just sitting unused!
The Eastonmade Axis is a good machine
for speed splittin '
Gets the job done.
Those rounds were so big that a nutball like me wouldn't stand on them to roll.
I like to be a little closer to the ground when i fall.
Oh yeah, I'm a faller of a different sort. 😊
Now I gotta have one
Oh I LOVE that machine!! I just split a cord of wood by hand 2 days ago. That machine would've made quick work of that, LOL....
Good job billy. Lovely machine peace
Can't help it that merck looks good.
fourth! lol
have a great day, buckin and army!
hope everyone is kind to someone today! love wins.
Why does that machine rock and get all wimbly wambly? Did the leveling jacks need adjustment
Nice.😆 again mate Cheers.👍

thx kool
Sure looks effective, and spinning rounds on that table's got to be less wear and tear on you than swinging a splitting maul.
Love ya Buckin 😘 💗
Buckin that splitter is great to directly dump into a dump trailer
indeed
Hey billy the goat of trees 🌳 😎 love you brother
That's a sweet rig. Almost use something like that for splitting shakes.
Do they install a flow adjustment on that log lift to slow it down a bit?
That's some dangerous stuff going on. No safeguards or safety mechanisms at all. Becareful and stay safe!
Hello from Australia 🇦🇺👍🏼
Is this machine legal?
That conveyer would load pickup easy peasy
Great video
Thanks for the visit
Great video sir but the old aluminum hardhat is what makes it I have two myself One that was my grandfathers and when I bought .
satisfying as I watch from my chair after horsing my lower back splitting oak.
That thing is FAST
The machine does the job very well. However I think some of the pieces were rather large for home use.
by design friend ,, thx leonard
Wow LICKITY SPLITICKY That thing impresses me more every time you run it. Gnarly wood good wood it don't matter with that baby. Love it Buckin. 🌲❤🌲✊✊
Why didnt you split the other pile of rounds that was sitting there before hauling the splitter home?
some one elses fun

is it best to split when wet or more on thy drier end?
love the stick shift nob
How is the Merc running Billy?

Youll notice he never put his hands on top of the block when splitting.👍
