Did this today though.... :thumbdown:

 

Splitter just randomly stopped, and on taking it apart, the ram fell out. You could see the piston up inside the cylinder still.

I have a Palax 600 Combi and often feeding awkward shaped Ash limbs and have the same problem so I dsiconnected the auto trip and now have a foot pedal so I can see that the log has landed correctly before starting the ram.

 

I fitted a three phase electric motor for yard work which is so quiet and easy, but it still can be driven with the pto in the woods if necessary without changing anything.

 

I fitted and manual winch to lift the conveyor up for transport.

 

I made a drawbar and detachable wheels for towing on the road with a car.

 

I made a simple manual roller feed table so that I can bring back a load of 10 foot logs straight from the woods with the muck grab which can then be tilted and the grab gently lifted to feed the rollers. Seems to work well and cuts out all the manual lifting of the past..

 

I welded a single splitter to replace the standard four way for larger logs.

Made it out of old D7 dozer blade wearing part.

 

Made a T handle to make adjusting or removing the splitting blade easy.

 

Yep, after twenty years with the machine I am now happy!

Out ram fell out of the shaft on our splitter, twice, I was told it was something t do with the nut that holds in in came un done or something so put a locking nut on instead

My dad was diagnosed with polymyalgia (pain in many muscles)

 

so adapting the handle has worked wonders for him and makes the farmi a pretty fast machine to use.

That looks very interesting. Do you use your foot as well?
