Congrats on the new 22-28! I just got my 12-22 in November and I love it. Dan on @Back40Firewood just did a video on how to look at how square the end of the log is and if it isn't, how best to put it on the splitter to keep it from either diving or rising up when it goes through. Good first run!

Once you get through the learning curve, you'll fly thru the rounds 😊

Great video I have an Eastonmade 22-28 I run the box wedge, six way and four-way if you sharpen the edge on your box wedge with a flat wheel grinder, you will find it’s a much easier machine to operate

Thanks for the comment. I already picked up some more 4.5” grinding flapper wheels from harbor freight for just that reason. I find that the flapper wheels remove material better and more consistently than the disks. I just have to play catch-up on my other sling business before I can run the 22-28 again. I had my second knee replacement about 6 weeks ago and for the first 4 weeks I was laid up, and on drugs. About week five I was finally lucid enough to be able to start on my taxes. Just finished them yesterday and am sewing all day today in the shop. In the next couple of weeks I’m hoping to get to addressing the hydraulic leak on the back of the cylinder replacing the O-ring. I also had a bad leak last week that I just had to address on my Kubota main hydraulic sending line. Little fires everywhere. That’s been my life for the past month.

Also I just sub'd

I was going to make a fork pocket hitch receiver like that modeling it off of the one my buddy made but he had a spare skid steer quick attach plate with a receiver on it and just gave it to me. It works great. Thanks for the comment and sub.

I thought the Eastonmade 22-28 was 7 seconds down and back… It seems as though you were down and back in about 9-10 seconds. Were you running the splitter at full power?

Just a day before when I was first testing it, it was running at about 9-10 seconds. I adjusted the pump to the factory setting by screwing it all the way in then backing it out 2.5 turns. This sped it up to just over 7 seconds under no load. Under heavy load that trips the second stage, it will slow down as the second stage is slower. This was the first test run after the initial adjustment, and I didn’t have time to play with the adjustment screw anymore as less than a week later I had my knee replacement surgery. So I’ve been laid up since then unable to play with it. There was also a leak at the rear of the cylinder inlet fitting that Eastonmade sent me orings to resolve, however, I won’t be able to replace it for a couple more weeks once my knee recovers enough to get to. I will be shooting a dedicated video on that oring replacement and adjusting the two stage pump and testing different settings past the 2.5 turns. Trust me, I’m itching to get back at it. Sitting on this recliner for the past two weeks doing nothing but physical therapy is driving me crazy. Thanks for the comment.

What brand is your conveyor? And how do you like it?

The conveyor as far as worth the money, is worth it. However if I would have waited a year I could have got the RR503. I got the RR502 which has the rubber conveyor belt. It does not track correctly and ends up running off center which mauls the belt on either side destroying it. This was the issue from the start and is a horrible design. The Range Road 503 has the sprocket gears chain and paddles. I can get an upgrade kit for it but they’re out of stock. So I will just be fabricating/upgrading it myself in the next few months if they’re not back in stock yet. I’ll be doing a review on the conveyor coming up. Again, if you get the RR503 chain and paddle version it is definitely worth it, but not the rubber belt version. Thanks for the comment. 👍🏼 range-road.com/home-usa/product-catalogue/other-equipment/rr503-standalone-chain-conveyor/

Well if it’s my son then I’m obligated to do so, if it’s my buddy, I’m just trying to keep him from, getting knocked out by using his back to the machine.
