I'll give it some thought.

There is security to be disabled and that gimpy bar to be dealt with.

Cut one wire to the kill switch. Jobs a good-un. Gimpy bar is sorted in 5 minutes. But it took me the best part of an afternoon of messing around to figure it out as it was not at all what the guys in the Rock Shop indicated.

Had a good afternoon on my splitter today, did about 4 crates out of some really nasty/old stuff from right in the back corner of the shed.  I also did a crate of ash earlier in the week, straight off the back of the defender. I think I handled these the absolute minimum-  once into the dumper, once onto the splitter! 

The splitter is a JSA on a table I made from an old diesel tank stand, running off 8 meter extension pipes so I don't have to get the loader/tractor right up to it to power the splitter, which has the bonus of keeping the noise/exhaust fumes at the far end of the shed.

New addition, little pto powered oxdale, very very good condition, only £600 and 5 minutes up the road from someone I know👌👌  

I plan to put quick connectors in the lines so I can power my other splitter off the pump or use it off the tractor.

Splits very nicely at tickover,  but the table is rubbish! But that's easily solved.

I've still got my 18t Black Tools splitter and it's going well. I use it horizontal and vertical and it hasn't jibbed at anything we've put through it yet. My friend passed me a piece that his splitter had given up on and it just ate it. I made another table for the other side and it's really handy for stacking on. I do tow it down to the farm where we get to split some big stuff dumped by the local tree man Truman.
