Show us your log splitters

[mdt]

Here is the new log splitter I use, I extended the hydraulic pipes so could connect to mog but at same time run the palax so spilt big trunks then straight onto palax.

was left in the shed with a broken handle, with the new handle weighs 8.5lbs, its better for me than a maul

 

Looks like someone has bashed the back like a wedge, big mistake as it swells the eye until the cheek side splits.

Doe's anyone else find using the towable vertical splitter's, are murder on the back, as the log sit's on the ground rather than at waist level?

I have a ls 550 which I'm thinking of mounting on a trailer so that when it is in the vertical splitting position it is at an easier height for working with ,when splitting smaller ring's.

 

I' m sure someone else on here will have done similar, so is it a viable idea?

Mine.

 

Them Browns splitters are superb, mine hasnt missed a beat. Although i finally found a massive lump of Ash last week that jammed it, took us ages to un wedge it!

The absolute reason I would never have one. A lot less grief to ring up and quarter the big stuff and put on waist height splitter.

I was looking at a towable splitter on eBay from someone we all known here. I just thought that working scrabbling on the ground or bent overall day would be murder.

 

I think I'm going to go for a woodline multipla 10wl with the Hondas engine. How are these compared to the wl10 bull with the swing out tables? Are the rams the same stroke/ speed etc? Anyone got any experience?

we were talking about this at work today and were not sure but we think its from some crane leg at some point we used to use it to jack up the mog when we were fixing it.
