thanks geoff its been good for me to keep my eye on the ball so to speak even if it only gets used once in a while its a good talking point if i get visitors as they will wonder what its for etc and gives me something to do splitting my logs only as and when i need them otherwise if i do a big pile all nice n ready to go they may get nicked from my plot etc

 

 

it needs painting etc but i,am thinkin leave it as is so it looks tatty i,e not worth anything etc >>> less chance of theives thinking they have more of a right than me etc

[mendiplogs]

thanks very greatful for your kind offer and post sorry mines late coming back i get very down at times and just lurk around the forums reading etc its hard to put into words what i feel but since i got my single phase welder here it what i,ve made from scrap parts when the mood takes me all done on single phase outside my back door out the way from the stress,s of day to day life its been a pain as its not half a dirty job grinding welding etc i,ve buggered one of my kitchin windows with the sparks whooop,s to late now oh and set fire to my jumper with the grinder too"

 

fed up brushing up bits of welding rods and grindin muck to it dont get tramped through house

 

i used a old forklift fork (THICK GOOD STEEL ) pre heated with my friends burning gear to get a good strong weld down with low hydrogen rods

My money is on JCB, the early ones had those big assed threaded collars on them.

 

Bet he says he bought it as a single item and hasn't a clue:laugh1:

Hi mate so how long is ram and how are going to power off a tractor I like to no how tons press the ram is thanks Jon

[treequip]

Rams aren't any tons pressure John, in order to know what force a ram will deliver you need to know the dimensions of the ram and the operational pressure

 

As far as powering it off a tractor goes most tractors have a feed and return (even if you have to improvise on some older models)

 

The splitter will have an open centre valve to operate it, just plug the feed and return into the feed and return on the tractor and away you go.

Possibly, but the big chrome cap on the hydraulic tank coupled up with the same colour ram still makes me think flail trimmer, of course it maybe coincidence but will almost put money on that's what the tanks off at least.

I wouldn't call the filler breather definitive, it's a standard hydraulic part available over the counter at any good hydraulic supplier, you can even get them on ebay
