In today’s video, I am running the Eastonmade splitter with the 6 way wedge in the log yard. Start with the log; cut it into rounds; and then split the rounds into firewood. I had a little fun with the sound effects on the video, but I will be doing a detail video soon. Just a quick visual of my favorite splitter in action. If you’re thinking of getting an Eastonmade splitter, I highly recommend the 12-22. – Chuck

1 00:00:00,900 –> 00:00:02,800 Welcome back to Make Some Dust.
2 00:00:04,433 –> 00:00:06,933 This is the Eastonmade 12-22 splitter.
3 00:00:07,667 –> 00:00:09,234 Hey, don’t be jealous, alright.
4 00:00:11,966 –> 00:00:14,667 Today it’s time to take care of my own household heating.
5 00:00:15,733 –> 00:00:18,733 The customers are all taken care of, but I’m the last one on the list.
6 00:00:23,633 –> 00:00:26,433 Here we’re using the Bobcat S250 wheel
7 00:00:26,533 –> 00:00:27,467 skid steer
8 00:00:28,500 –> 00:00:29,933 with the grapple bucket on it.
9 00:00:30,467 –> 00:00:33,433 My typical set up for grabbing logs and cuttin’ them.
10 00:00:34,067 –> 00:00:35,900 keep them off the ground and out of the dirt.
11 00:00:36,600 –> 00:00:38,334 And, at the right level for me cuttin’.
12 00:00:58,400 –> 00:01:01,933 Take notice to the zip tie on the left hand side of my chainsaw,
13 00:01:02,134 –> 00:01:03,633 it’s strapped onto the handle.
14 00:01:05,067 –> 00:01:09,433 And, that’s a typical zip tie for HVAC people. They tie on to flexible duct.
15 00:01:09,933 –> 00:01:11,067 to the hard duct pipe.
16 00:01:12,300 –> 00:01:14,966 I cut it off sixteen inches off the blade.
17 00:01:15,600 –> 00:01:17,500 It’s flexible. Never gets on my way.
18 00:01:18,733 –> 00:01:23,400 And it’ll freeze up a lot of the extra time you take for marking out your logs to the
19 00:01:24,300 –> 00:01:25,933 standard length of sixteen inches.
20 00:02:00,267 –> 00:02:02,533 If you’re thinking about a commercial splitter
21 00:02:03,267 –> 00:02:06,167 I highly recommend this Eastonmade 12-22.
22 00:02:07,500 –> 00:02:11,000 Yeah, they’re expensive, but man they’re worth their weight in gold.
23 00:02:12,067 –> 00:02:14,567 I do not regret spending the money on this machine.
