Beast Splitter Mk 2

[hiluxstihl]

Ok, anyone who built anything from scratch would do some stuff differently!

For this one im including a crane, meter long capacity, 4 way splitting, its own engine and fast tow wheels.

what else would you include?

herse mine working on big timber and another vid of it in more sensible timber... its running on a 390t with approx 70 litres per minute oil flow...

I'd add a bigger splitting table, perhaps a bit of a V shape so big rings like in the first vid won't roll off.

An exit chute/conveyor, as throwing each log split will soon get boring.

well done i wish i had the materials to make one like yours money and materials and facilties hold me back but spend my days looking on the bay wishfull thinking etc i only have a x27 or my good friend sean ash tree care will lend me his splitter but feel awful asking him i will one day get my own i live in hope lol as my plots a mess at the moment log everywhere lol

 

back to the thread you should be proud of yourself to be able to fab such a good tool together well done it,s a beast

id agree about the conveyor and some form of restraining large rings, the table is bigger than it looks! sometimes i need to split and cut with the tractor saw so i need the table. i rarely split timber that big but as ive been hired by people let down by there own splitters .... thanks for feedback keep it coming!

 

predator, thanks for the praise, it took a while to complete and i beleive anyone is capable of acheiving there ideas given time and oppurtunity!
