Got bored so went down to the yard to put some money in the bank.

 

Thor 20t 4 way knife converted to operate one handed because I found it more dangerous trying to hold logs in place with your knee or your belly

Very nice dean:thumbup1:, never seen a splitter like that had/heard of any nasty accidents re fingers on top of log etc?

 

 

How many truck loads could you do in a day with it inc cutting up to ring?

 

Two week ago I did three landrover loads in 6 hours including delivering locally so flat out about a load every hour and a half

Nice one Dean - I've just got a Thor 13t self powered. How did you get it to auto return after splitting so it gets back to the top then stops itself?

 

For non auto return the return lever is held up by a spring and for auto return the return lever is unhitched and left loose and it auto stops when it reaches the top of the stroke

 

I'll see if I can get a pic next time, if you look at the very end of the vid when I close the cylinder down you can see me unhitch the holding clip which stops the lever dropping right down and I rehitch the spring to stop auto return
