forklift log splitter

[Busy Daddy]

Just wondering if anyone powers a log splitter from a forklift, the splitter is a 12 tonne 2 speed joby

I used to run it from a telehandler , which worked very well

I have now moved into a lower shed , and don't want to buy another tractor , but need a forklift

I run my splitter off my manitou brill 95 litres per minute beats John Deere by a mile

what about one off those small teleporters,

[Busy Daddy]

yes the small teleporters are good , but will it have enough grunt to run the splitter properly

Probably the same sort of pressure but could easily be only 1/3 the flow rate, depending of course on what telehandler you had originally.
