Got the thor magik 13ton (pto) as well. Its a vertical splitter, with a two speed auto return ram. The oil reservoir is built into the main housing of the splitters mast. Its got dual controls, but you can use a single lever initially to wedge your billet/block in place under the blade before you engage full hydraulic power (leader control system).

I run it on just over tick with an old 35x, the shearing power through knots is very impressive. Great piece of kit, very well built, simple and reliable.

 

same as mine have you got a video of it on you tube as i think theres one on there of a thor 13 with a old 35 with dual wheels.

Exactly Jon, cheap as chips to run these pto versions. About £600 difference (? I think)

in the pto vs the standard Thor 13. Difference in price between my old 35 and a newish 100hp tractor (alot I reckon). What I will pay out in disel costs over my life worths of splitting wouldn't even bridge the gap.
