J silk agri log splitter

[Robbo479]

Evening,

Been looking for a bigger log splitter for the oversized lengths to then put through the processor. Then saw one of J silk agricultural on eBay and seems to be ideal for the job and not a lot of money compared to other splitters. Just wondering if anyone else out there has got one or used one and what they are like and if any good? Any comments would be much appreciated. 

Cheers tomTom

I had the same idea to split a tree down to a size that will go through the Palax, about 10 inches diameter.

 

Impressive as the old Cat D7 is in splitting this sycamore, I found that there is little control over the split and the tree will follow the grain leaving bigger diameter bits which need quite a bit of faffing about to bring down to size.  A nice straight bit of Ash may be better and I will post a video of that when we come to a piece which is buried beneath a heap of logs at present.

If unsuccessful I may revert to the Lucas Mill to cut up a big tree into long lengths of 8"x 8"
