Ingersoll 2 way splitter

[renewablejohn]

I am looking for a splitter to stand at the side of my Palax combi by the elevator to crack very large rings which wont fit into the Palax. Obviously it cannot be PTO powered as the Palax is on the PTO therefore it needs to run off the tractor hydraulics. My tractor is an old MF550 so has slow hydraulics compared to new tractors so bearing that in mind I have found a 20 tonne 2 way splitter which would get over this problem. see youtube clip.

Does anybody know a dealer who sells them as I am struggling to find in UK. Has anybody used them and if so are they practical for splitting large rings.

Does the forum have a block on you tube clips as it appears the link is not working

I think I know the sort of thing you mean john, and am surprised something like this isn't more widely available.

 

If it is the thing I'm thinking of, I think you may find larger rings having a tendency to roll about on it - but on the right stuff I could see it being very efficient.

Just found a company in Canada which manufactures them complete with log lifter. Does anybody import them into UK as it looks good kit.

FR jones was looking to import something with a similar name i believe but dont quote me on that.

Are you sure you couldn't get a local blacksmith to make you up one of these, instead of importing all that steel from Canada?

 

A splitter knife from an old processor, piece of steel I-beam and a double-acting tipper ram from an old trailer. Would be a lot cheaper and, if built properly, just as effective.

I did not think Wallenstein do a 2 way splitter. Its the reduced cycle time that appeals to me with the split fire splitters.

[Andrew Chester]

You are quite correct we don't a 2 way splitter. Cycle time is not every thing.

Where are you in the country? Let me see if I can arrange a demo for you.....
