We have just got a balfor 16t splitter today, only had a quick go but seems very impressive.

 

sent from my office in the field via s3

Here is my home made offering. It's only ever me that uses it, I doubt it would pass any H&S examination. It was really a bit of a scrap heap challenge, but it works a treat.

 

It doesn't use the Fergie hydraulics, I have a portable hydraulic power pack

Brother in law (welder/fabricator by trade) made this screw-type splitter. Pics maybe arnt the greatest.

 

Even getting local machinist to lathe the left-hand thread on the cone it cost a grand total of £200. Works really well. We also made a hydraulic-ram/blade type splitter which i use, and looks very home made..... shall get a pic of it next time im using it.

The screw-threading although hard faced is quite fine, so it doesnt jam very often. Been using it 3 year now and its stalled the Fergie once couldnt find a shorter PTO (and wasnt buying a new one) so its never on linkage when being used.
