A 269 area code :surprised3: that guy's giving us michiganders a bad rap. Videos are to painful to watch or stomach 🤮 they are destined for eab ash to the cranium.
I have a buddy who lives just NW of him. I've offered to give him some chain sharpening tips/help at his place, but he's not interested at all :dumb:. I don't think he wants any accountability.
 
I see a lot of guys are using them in some of the facebook firewood pages I'm on. More money than this guy has. The builder touts their 24D model as the fastest splitter on the planet. 🤔:innocent:
Well, their bigger splitters are fir commercial use. Witch definitely explains the price. I wouldn't consider buying one otherwise. Definitely not necessary fir a single home environment. Thats fir sure.
 
Do any of you folk know much about Eastonmade Wood Splitters?
I owned a 12-22 for about 3 years. Strong unit. Recently sold it for something that's just as strong, cuts faster, cleaner, more ergodynamic and hands free..





Oh... and darn near half the price of an EM unit.
 
Andrew makes very good splitters. If you google Eastonmade you will find lots of info. Andrew has recently taken over his Dad's company and has switched it over to his name. Google search "Bells Machining" and you will find lots of info on them also.
https://www.lumbermenonline.com/News/-Eastonmade-Wood-Splitters-buys-and-merges-Bells-Machine/463 If you are on Facebook they have a good site there too. Canadian made. https://www.facebook.com/Eastonmade
in livestock farming community , we see massive buy outs of mantufactured parts. companies like CLAY are now made by canada . which now makes 5 other brands, of feeding parts in the milk house or 1 company makes 10 different silage unloaders. its almost impossible to get parts. they might be making 1 brand of silage unloaders,this year. then next year if you need parts. the company is still in busines, but they no longer make PAX or clay or badger and you cant get support.

i truely hope eastonmade isnt expanding the canadian model of metal manufactured machinery, in the wood splitting industry. it would be like andrew making eatonmade,bruteforce, wolfridge, tsc brand. you cant get parts, but you can buy a new $4000 splitter. that works for 4 years, before it needs replaced
 
Yea if your overloaded 2 wheels are better than 1 usually but @H-Ranch single wheeled true temper can give any wheelbarrow whether it's 2, 3, or 4 wheeled one a run for it's money and then some.
I do like my 1 wheelers for my application - uneven terrain would dump a tall load on a 2 wheeler but a single wheel I can balance.

Like i said in the GMCI thread: I do prefer one, but maybe because I've never tried two. Sure *seems* like two would be better than one. And three better than two and four better than three and so on. At some point it probably just gets to be too many. We're still talking about wheelbarrows, right? 😇

Don't forget style points :happy: some of those loads from last season :surprised3::numberone:
 
Received a new X27 36’ splitting axe yesterday . My old one developed a split in the handle end and on the odd strike it vibrates my hands .
Great customer service contacted them via the website attached the picture and in two days got a tracking number .
I’m going to epoxy the crack and use some tape on it since they don’t want the broken one back A4650F64-7025-43EC-90B8-291FF85C6FC0.jpeg

Bought a two wheel barrow, used it about twice and sold it on. Wasn't useful even for hauling horse poop (the main reason I bought) We have "uneven" ground round here. "Two wheel barrows" are useless on even moderate side hills. The twenty years in my possession true temper soldiers on. I do have a ho-made two wheel "cart" that works well. It carries a large load lower than a barrow so is less tippy. However tires are a bit small for soft ground with a heavy load, with two wheels I can pull rather than push on soft ground which helps. It also just fits through a 3' door to get wood to the basement wood rack.

The trailer behind the zero turn mower does most hauling TO the wood racks.
