my logging toys

[Rob D]

Great tools for splitting with. Love the cone splitter that fits on the digger.

 

I'd like to get one for our 2.6 ton digger.

if we did everything to the HSE's liking we'd be broke..... common sense and operator that no's what there doing is good enough..

thankyou for your veiws . ive been using it for 3 months without a problem. The digger tooth helps keep log on splitter .

however i only made it as last year i suffered a back problem whilst lifting a log on my old spliter which was a horizontal hydo ram mounted on a rsj pushing against a blade about 8 inchs from ground.

so by solving one hse issue i have created another.

as im the only opperator and self employed i wonder if regs applies

my log spliters

first my 14.5 360 digger atachment made from bushes from log grab bought from e bay. old moledrainer leg and spare digger tooth with 3 hours in workshop. The digger has a knuckel boom and dozer blade which i pull logs against.

 

The cone on the 1.5 tonner is a new purchase from states <big mistake >

as told would fit my post hole bora when arrived to small so had to make new bush coller to fit.

ok on most smaller stuff but a knotey bit will stall hydr motor and wont unscrew so have to cut out with saw. Good for moving logs though. but definatly needs a bigger machine to power.

 

The log grab bought from e bay £750 good bit of kit cut off old brackets and welded jcb fork brackets on saves us bending muck fork or pallet tines:thumbup:

 

Trailer with hiab next project to convert to timber trailer.

 

 

About to start same project with 40ft brick trailer.

Not taking any camp here but while you can’t sue yourself you do owe a duty of care to yourself and the powers that be won’t like an “unsafe working practice”

 

Ho Hum, just wouldn’t let them see it.

 

PS nice toys though
