My New Toy! 18hp Log Splitter

[Danny Boy]

Picked this up last week. It's home made but a pretty good-un!

 

The guys dad's got a whole work shop & they do agricultural engineering if you know what i mean. It's been put together pretty well & does the job nicely...

 

Off to split some more wood now & then test them with my new Moisture Meter from Maplins (Thought i'd treat myself )

Funilly enough i remembered as i was splitting that i forgot to put the video & photo's up!

Got some extra pictures too:

 

 

The Space on the trailer is great as i gcan reverse right up to it & either load logs ready to split or just move them across straight from my truck which saves some effort...

nice video and pics and looks a decent piece of kit there

[jpbeaver]

i think i bid on that. was it from near penrith?

[Danny Boy]

yes, somewhere between penrith & carlisle.

 

so far a great bit of kit. my only complaint is it's petrol & thirsty!

[DN22 Gardening]

i bid on it too

 

got all the gear to make one, but the kid who's doing the welding for me just aint bothered

 

grrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Danny Boy]

well, this is the 1st log splitter i've used & i'd definitely recomend having that "table" space around it to have slogs ready to split & move the split ones to the side.
