Mini digger mounted log splitters?

[mcmoonter]

A few years ago I made a log splitter, it worked well and I've split tons of wood with it.

A friend is inspired to build one. He has a JCB 8015 mini digger which might be possible to use as the hydraulic power source, he has also savaged a couple of rams from another machine which he has since scrapped.

 

Has anyone (home) made a splitter that mounts either to the digger arm or is free standing that uses the diggers hydraulics. Pics would be helpful

 

Thanks in advance, Peter

I once ran a standard oxdale tractor mounted splitter of a 1.5t mini digger, I had a bracket made to go on the splitter so I could hook it on with the digger. It worked well on the digger- quite quick return etc.

Iv got a home made splitter made from an RSJ and a ram of a JCB it can be powerd by a porta pack or mini digger or any thing with hydrolic attachment,s it works really well, it's as strong as ox, I'll take a pic for ya during the week
