Log splitter on the bay..

[Stubby]

Ok . Looked at that one on fleabay and it wont be up to the job . ! its got a smaller engine than mine and 2 its belt driven . They would just slip I recon . Mine is duplex chain and sprocket drive . The one you are looking at will need a lot more work to make it usable on anything other than bone dry pop !

I have a piddly little hydraulic one but really want a flywheel rack and pinion set up but they only seem to sell in the states.

 

Powerful, fast and affective on bigwood.

 

Anyone know somewhere that sells them?

Can't find anywhere so must be the case which is a pity cos they look pretty good. This rate i'll be making one.

Fair enough, Im guessing it does slip hence needing a tensioner.. I never thought of chain and sproket! Been upto Chichester a few times.

What sort of money would a small tractor cost to ring a pto corkscrew?

[Stubby]

Some small tractors have PTO going the " wrong way " , depending on the helix of your splitter . Be sure to check that !

Have a look at this old Fergie in action

Yep Hycrack are the best tractor mounted ones IMHO . and a Fergie is all you need . I used to run one on an old Ford 4000 . Similar sorta power .

No way to tell for sure from that listing

 

In order to know what the unit is good for you need to know the pressure and flow of the pump, since its a proprietary unit we can assume its engine is up to the maximum requirements of the pump

 

Then you need to know what the flow and pressure the splitter needs

 

Small tractors are desirable and that makes them expensive
