Show us your log splitters

Built this about a month ago, its organs were donated by a scrapped howard power harrow and a parmiter shear grab. Made the axe head out of 2 sections or shear grab blade welded back to back with the wings made out of used power harrow blades. Had to buy the valve block:thumbdown:. either goes on the back of a tractor or sits on the pallet tines of the forklift, the latter having a much faster oil flow. seems to go well

How do get constant flow on your handler ?

 

Tie the 3rd service lever back ?

 

How about a stand so you can slide split logs into a bucket.

 

But also handy to put on floor for big rings

my handler has constant flow for things like feeder buckets and sweepers etc so its just a rocker switch. not shown on the pics but it has removeable legs for storage which slide in to the side horizontally to hold dumpy bags open. it can easily be used on the floor but it kills your back

:001_smile:Whats the most economically and reasonably priced log splitter out there on the market that runs off deisel or petrol and will be used for partly keeping my log burner going and for selling a few bags too.

Check you have no sawdust stopping the log trip linkage from working.

This splitter was originally a 3 point (I think), a customer or mine put the splitting unit on a trailer which he built, with a hydraulic tank, ready for a motor and pump but I found it rusting on his property so did a swap for some chipping/cash. Ended up paying more than expected for one extra hose and linkage for the tractor, a new (old) tyre, paint etc. Took off the tank and my old man welded on the grates for extra storage. Had it running today for the first time, put a big smile on my face splitting anything I could throw at it effortlessly. Not a speed demon but faster than expected. I think the ram is 30t but thats just what I was told, could be wrong! Cost us about 300 of your english pounds.

 

Only think would would be better is it limited to medium/large logs, the extra deluxe size logs my brother in law likes don't quite fit. Oh and the control doesn't have an auto return.
