Is this possible

[foresterjack]

Right I have a logsplitter on a trailer which is a rubbish design and buying it was a mistake! could i buy a horizontal splitter for a tractor that you see on ebay occasionally and weld it on? its got a 6.5 hp engine would this work as its got the screw on pipes? anyone got one they don't want

 

cheers jack

Need pictures and are you taking the original off and a new on? Or grafting bits from both. I take it the trailer one is hydraulic as well. A 6.5hp motor probably wont be enough I think or slow cycle time.

Why is yours rubbish? what are you hoping to improve?

well the original just has a ram with no slider brace so it has bent

Oh dear, is it the ram thats bent? If it is scrap is bringing a good price.

 

Grafting the pump and motor to another splitter will be simple enough, how ell it willl work will depend on pump flow, pressure and the size of the ram you are powering.

 

Pictures please.

i tried but its too dark basically the ram is bolted onto trailer so i was gunna take it of and put a complete horizontal one on and just connect it up?
