I have a commercial splitter, with that said Easton is a great looking machine. A box wedge would be great ion the large rounds I deal with.

IM looking to upgrade splitters, and these look pretty handy, only question is how they handle knotty Oak and Eucalyptus. I don't cut as much as I would like, as I have to work but ended up with 34 cords cut and split last year. should get a little more than that this year as I got a good jump but it. The homemade splitter I had gave up the ghost and ended up with a 35 ton tractor supply splitter. its ok but I don't like the standing room and the way the bark gets jammed in the push rails and I have bogged it down a lot. poor design. How much grunt do the Eastonmade spitters have for really bad wood?

Have to be really careful using any splitter with a multi-wedge in knotty & bad wood. Not sure how bad you mean but you might have to stick to a single wedge to avoid breaking something with big grunt.

For knotty nasty stuff I lower my 4 way and it becomes a 2 way. that Easton Splitter looks like it will handle about anything.

I don't use a 4 way wedge at all, only a single, but I still bogg/stall the current 35 ton splitter out at times. don't want to spend the money for the Easton if it is going to bogg too
