bought a EastonMade 12-22 firewood splitter

Unclefish what model is that?

 

12-22 . Best money spent. No more back problems either. I basically just use the 4 way now. Alot easier on the big narly pieces. it's an amazing machine... She got a workout the last 2 weekends also.

 

Thinking about a 9-16, with a 4 way wedge and a box wedge

 

I'd love to have the 5 second cycle time!!

 

Unclefish can we get a year update?

 

Just getting ready to fire it back up. I have been fighting some Lyme disease lately. I picked up another 20 cord of wood from a neighbor a couple of weeks ago. I'm still good on the 3 year plan. Real Work has been some long days. Both me and best friend burn about 8 to 10 cord a year. It's almost to easy to cut split to much with 4 of us up there sawing and splitting. I did fire it up in August just to clean up about 40 pieces of round we had already had cut to length. I will try to keep everyone posted.

 

Last weekend and this one the Eastonmade is getting a workout. Did an oil change on the Honda a few weeks ago.

 

Would you buy it again

 

How many face cord you get in that bucket?

 

I would buy another 1 in heart beat. I have no complaints . For me burning 8 cords a year it's perfect. If I where selling firewood I would definitely go with a processor .
And the bucket on my skid steer is a snow bucket. 3.5 to 4 of those full fills my Mason dump as a heaping load. I can tell you when I dump at house and stack neatly I get 1 good full cord from Mason dump. It always looks twice the size not stacked.

 

I bought a 72” snow bucket to go with my dirt bucket for just that reason.

plan is to go straight off the splitter into the bucket like this and dump into the trailer. Take the trailer with 2 cord to be stacked.

so I’m curious how much others have been getting into it.

 

Thank you Unclefish
Splitting and stacking is weak point right now

 

Well it's been 5 years with the Eastonmade 12-22. I split a minimum of 8 cord a year. The 4 way for me is best. I don't get the nicest straight perfect logs. The 6 way is nice but when you get one stuck on it it's a bee hive to get it off the wedge. Besides oil changes air filter changes I have had some loose bolts, which I caught before any damage. Air in tires every year. The battery has been dead for 2 years but it's so easy to start with pull start I haven't bothered putting a new one on. Have no regrets wish I had this model years before I bought it. I hate to say it but it will probably out last me. Last 2 weekends the husqvarna's and the splitter have gotten it done again. I have been solo this year and still putting wooping on the wood.

 

A 5 year review is way better than a first use or first year review. Thanks for the annual updates.

 

Your're not kidding. 267 on that thing? What did it do? Idle for 266 of them

Nice unit!

 

Thanks for the update. We got a deal on a similar Wolfe Ride 28HO unit. Had 9.5 hrs on it. Got it in '22. Sure made a difference
