It's about 4.5 seconds going down, less going up.
Going to try adjusting the speed to find the sweet spot

One can only imagine what type of sawmill you could come up with (cracking job)

Looks like it's going to be a stump grinder instead

New project looks interesting - maybe needs a V8. I have a question about your splitter, what age was the Rover as after a certain time most engines have got so much electronics on them that it is difficult to just bolt it into a frame and power up did you have to transfer over an ECU etc?

It's running the factory ecu, deimmobilised and remapped to increase the idle

Everything needs a V8.
