This is one that I made which fits on to matbro head stock, converted it to static later on, but still has matbro brackets fitted, bought a pto model now so very rarely used

That was my original plan, and I bought a JCB ram and some H section and welded another bit of dozer blade, I even have the Matbro brackets ready to weld on but I just thought that it is not big enough for the trunks I want to split.

 

Perhaps it would be a better Idea to experiment with the 17 ton Caterpillar D7  " Daisy Etta" as not much stops that machine from going forwards and I doubt if anything will bend the two ton blade!

It would be better to have the Matbro at the side ready to pick up the pieces and set them in place for another go if it works.

 

I will need to make the static vertical knife fairly strong and well supported!

And use dozer to push the trunk through the blade 

Have you seen those splitting knifes mounted on a 360  that pull towards the digger blade on the front, bit savage but they don't half rip

I was thinking of that as well as I have the old 15 ton JCB swing shovel,  just trying to find the easiest option and certainly if it works, a stout static knife with the dozer seems the least amount of welding and cost.

Need something to do on boxing day to avoid eating anymore left overs!
