THE STICKLER VEHICLE POWERED LOG SPLITTER/WOOD STOVE on eBay (end time 06-Jan-10 17:29:39 GMT)

 

im not sure about what kit the people giving the quotes have used in the past if this is the safest option

Is nearly identical to the Hycrack . Would be dubious about fitting to a wheel . Does the job though .

If you're using it for private use then you take your chances. If your using it at work then it looks decidedly dodgy to me- no guarding, no emergency stop?I certainly would let anyone working for me use it

 

Another thing to consider is that you need to use a vehicle with a diff lock. If you dont, you'll need to lock the wheel on the opposite side of the axle. This will mean that the diff is spinning continuously whilst the splitter is in use which they are not designed to do. Diffs normally move very little when driving and occaisionally if you wheel spin but I wouldnt want to be spinning one continuously.
