A neighbour just got this bad boy back from the fabricators. Vinny my future brother in law gives us the demonstration in the video. The engine is a reconditioned 3cx 4 cylinder, about 80hp, and the ram is a about 35-40 tons force, from a large excavator. I was impressed, unfortunately there were no 'proper nasty' logs to really impress, but I think any log will lose dealing with this piece of kit.

That nice but I think the splitting head would do my head in!! still an awesome bit of kit!!

I like that....

 

I like the splitting head. Better time saver than one blade and keep turning the log about. A lot less handling aswell. Just need a coneyor to take the logs onto a pile.

think i might be tempted to fit some peices to the ram plate to push through the cutter head to make a complete cut oof (hope that makes sence)

Looks a nice bit of kit, but seems to make about as much kindling as logs

Behind there is a field with 2 horses, so how do I convert it to horse power?
