Log splitter purchase

[swinny]

Evening all,

 

I'm on the look out for a log splitter. Don't do a vast amount of logs as only been self employed for a year, but i hope to improve on this. All my logs are arb waste/ brought from the job.

 

What i have for starters is, a jcb beaver hydraulic pack, and a small trailer.

 

I want to make a towable log splitter, to take to jobs etc.

 

I have seen a few others use hydraulic pac's to good effect

 

I have been shown the log splitter they were using and had it in my watching list on flea bay but it has dissapeared

 

It was a good splitter and 445 inc delivery

 

There are also oxdale tm400's for sale at 654 inc delivery

 

Can these be used horizontally if a chanel is made for the logs to sit into or do they always have to be used vertical?

 

Are there any other suggestions?

 

Thought going for the oxdale may be the better purchase as may last longer?

 

Cheers all on any info provided

 

Thanks Chris

650.00 budget really forgot to add

Have you tried emailing the seller on eBay as he's been selling them for years??

 

Maybe he read the Stein Arbor Trolley thread on here, so he withdrew his splitters from eBay in case Arbtalk started on him next!

use an axe make it cost effective first imo

use an axe and make sure you have the output to justify the investment imo

Oxdale is boss in my opinion, but like the others say, make sure you need one first.
