Convert Rock 22t splitter to single handed

[Sir Logalot]

Can anyone advise how to convert a Rock Venom 22t log splitter from double lever to single lever control? Thanks 

[GarethM]

You remove everything down to the valve block and fit a standard hydraulic lever.

Thanks, I’m hopefully picking up the splitter later this month, so I will have a look and see if I can identify the valve block and how to fit the lever. Many thanks for your advice.

I'll try to remember to take a picture when I'm next in the shed, can't remember if I bought the new handle on eBay or had one on the scrap pile.

Thanks GWYNFIL, sounds like a simple solution to start with. Thanks

That's my converted single handed splitter.

 

It's probably actually safer as it's one person running & splitting Vs needing two people to run it productively.
