theres one on ebay at the minute

 

Item number: 190367199346

 

looks quite good..

good video

 

might get one like this made

 

what do you guys think

 

Nope, wouldn't be fast enough for me; 5.5hp on a ram that size = slowwwww!

 

My word you wonder about some peoples health - the breathing in that video - lol!

 

Much prefer a vertical machine with a variable height table - best combination of comfort and production and believe me - you will want production!

If you cut your rounds pretty much all the same length, then a vertical splitter doesn't have to be that slow. If I set the stop on mine about one inch above the log, and if it splits easily, will only need to descend about 3 inches before letting it rise and moving the log around. Works best with larger diameter rounds as you can then keep the whole round on the table.

This is mine in the profile pic

13hp engine,

Custom built,

Twin stage ram,

Single valve,

Large splitting head and wedge,

Towable,

Easy to maintain Etc.

Cost just shy of £2000 to build but my point is its worth £3000 all day long now and you get what you pay for
