Eastonmade 40C Firewood Processor First Look! Game Changer! 

Now I just have to figure out what I’m the future means lol. Think I may get in a little trouble if I showed up with one tomorrow.

​@@hardworkingmanoutdoors easier to ask for forgiveness. I see it as Rachel giving the approval.

Thanks Andrew! It helps when you have a pro running the PROcessor.

Thanks David, I really wish we hadn’t lost our audio as Rachel and Andrew had a great conversation after the demonstration. Plus the circular saw sounds awesome. Appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for watching guys, I was definitely impressed by this machine especially at the price point!

Del, that would be awesome.

I have some time, lol. Still have to do the kitchen!

Thanks Noel, have a great weekend as well.

Thanks Todd, it is a sweet machine for sure.

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors Let me know when you get your 40c so I can come and run it🤣

@toddsoutsideagain will do 😂

Thanks Tom, I definitely am a lucky guy. We’d love to add one some day!

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors welcome!

Yes it is!

Thank you John. You should add one to the Woodyard! Then you could retire the second fastest splitter on RU-vid. 😂

hi there i had rented 2 in the past thinking it would be faster and easier , wow was i wrong , The differance is the input wood and how you are going to stack ,sort ,stuff ,save the pot put wood , the in put and out put is most of the problem not the machine doing the work ,. the big thing about a proposer is it can do it for 8 hrs each day , i now am only good for 30 mins. john @@hardworkingmanoutdoors

@fricknjeep very good points, it’s definitely all about the entire process/system. You run a very efficient process.

Thank you, I’d love to add one some day!

I’d love to, maybe one day we’ll get there!

Thank you, it was an impressive machine! Awesome to see in person.

Thanks JB!

Thanks JB!

Thank you, it was a lot of fun seeing this thing run.

Its a beast. I got to run it and so did my son. It will definately be the processor to beat in that size range.

Thanks Jeremiah. Maybe you can skip the commercial splitter and jump right into one of these!

It is a sweet machine, it is a diesel powered into though. I wouldn’t be surprised if Andrew and his team produced an electric one some day though.

Yes, but I look at equipment like this as an investment. If they’re taken care of they usually hold their value pretty well.

​@@hardworkingmanoutdoors Depreciating investment. The only way to make money from it is to produce.

I agree but that’ll be down the road if we keep building! Definitely demands consideration though.

Thanks Gerry, we’d love to be running our own one day!

Thank you David.

He promised the kitchen would get done in 2023, but I’m thinking that was fake news lol

I was thinking about there. Time will tell. See you in a bit. Should be fun.

I am not sure on that. We are just starting to learn more about processors.

Not quite yet but hopefully one day. What does PLC control it mean? You know technology isn’t my strong suit.

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors PLC = Programmable Logic Controller. Basically, it’s a computer of sorts that is used for machine control. Back in the day I was a controls engineer so I’d design controls for automated equipment, etc…..

@@backyardfirewood9852 it may be, you’d have to check with a legit Eastonmade rep to find out.

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors I’ll know when I watch your review of the one you buy!

David, I’m thinking she’ll pick kitchen 😞

We’d need to!

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors I’ll get bored this winter I’m sure lol

Thanks Kenny!

You mean Yellow Poplar...that's all they ever show them splitting when they demonstrate new fw equipment...

Lucas for sure. These processors like pretty straight decent quality firewood poles. Dealing with big trees, tree service wood etc. the HD commercial splitters are they way to go!

Not sure what type of wood this was. It was at the Paul Bunyan show. I do know that they were running some really tough splitting wood through their splitters. Definitely not poplar etc.

The saw is rotating but will not come down and splitter will not advance. For the saw blade to stop spinning would be completely uneconomical. Pretty’s sure you can’t reach the saw blade from there.

Very good points, it is definitely a professional grade machine. As far as the wedge design and circular saw dimensions I don’t want to give out bad information so I’ll let @Eastonmadewoodsplitters or someone else from Eastonmade answer. You also make a good point with inflation etc. the only time I’ve seen used machines sell for more than new are when supply runs out or wait times are too long. A lot of us like the instant gratification once we commit to spending a large sum of $$. I sort of look at my equipment as to what it owes me. So if I buy something for $10,000 and say produce a product and sell it for $7,000 I look at the machine owing me $3k. So in my mind if I could sell it for $8,000 after I used it I’d be $5,000 ahead. If that all makes sense. Once a machines cost is recouped it’s all bonus $$ from then on. Obviously there’s operation costs, etc. but the one thing you can never get more of is time!

@@hardworkingmanoutdoors It would help the reader if you used paragraphs the way I did. Andrew described the blade in a video he made. It is 40 inches in diameter and a thinner style to reduce horsepower requirement. If the hub is 4 inches I suppose The cutting capacity would be 18 inches. The machine rating would be the log diameter rating which would be given in inches that could be converted to millimeters. Now that I think of it, splitters don't have log diameter ratings. You are starting to learn more about processors.. You have a community of RU-vidrs and manufacturers with an interest in firewood production. How would you describe these people? They are in a similar social and racial class. The education level would be about high school. Their parents or grandparents were rural, armed, Christian racists. After all, the name of one channel is Back 40. I have the same ancestral background. One section of land is one mile by one mile which is 640 acres. A quarter section is 1/2 mile by 1/2 mile and is 160 acres. One-quarter of one quarter is 40 acres. You-all are living on the fumes of the culture you came from. We are living in chaotic, uncertain and distressing times. The revolutionaries are thrilled with the prospect of victory. Civilization is about to be annihilated or reborn. Firewood is probably a good investment for energy security. If you keep it inside, it will give you protection easily for 20 years or more. That is if you do not get evicted. P.S. Return to your roots and be a counter-revolutionary. See the Wranglerstar short. He does not want his children fighting in any Middle East war.

😂😂 thanks for watching!
