first one looks like a dawn redwood
-
the water might only be a meter deep but there could a couple of feet of silt, its no fun sinking into silt i'd winch it out logging it as it came out or use a boat
-
they'll dry out fine if you have plenty of air flow, all the logs at the front of my stores get driven rain on them but dry out in a couple of days
-
look on e bay for a pulley theres plenty selling taper lock pulleys and bushes, alot cheaper than bearing shops
-
going by your hp and rpm at 100% efficency you could use 12cc pump,as hydraulics aren't 100% efficient i'd use a 10cc pump which would give you a flow rate of 24.25 liters/minute(i've used 220bar pressure as the working pressure in the calculations) you can use any size ram but be aware that the cycle time is dependent of how much oil flow you have a big ram with a low flow rate pump at 220bar will be very slow but very powerful a useful chap to talk to is john at system h engineering 01484 846642 hydradrive.co.uk - UK web site the other thing to remember is to build it strong enough,most of the commercial splitters are built on a comprimise of cost against strength
-
going by the size of that ram it'll tear that piece of angle off first knarly piece you put through it worth that price for the ram but you'd need alot of oil flow to get a fast cycle time

afaik if its sent as a gift,free sample or its value is less than £18 you don't pay import duty or vat obviously if its an expensive item you take the risk if it goes missing(if you have it posted at value less than £18) some companies won't send things as gifts or reduced value i'm sure used item aren't subject to extra duties either

i've mounted a two tonne engine hoist on the front of my sankey works ok for bags i've even lifted a petters ph2 engine onto the trailer which is the heaviest i'd lift with it
-
i prefer the foot plate to sit on the ground so you can get big rings on, it all depends on the size of logs that you're splitting(the splitter beam has to fold horizontally to transport it which also makes it more stable whilst towing) a few pics of one of mine
-
the pin holds it in the winching position, pull pin and move lever to free spool
-
the weakest link is usually how the winch is attached to the vehicle
-
you could get two pieces of uni strut and two pieces of angle iron to make a rail system simplly fasten a piece of angle between the two lengths of uni stut at each end to suit log length and secure with screws into the end grain have got all the bits but not got round to making it yet will post pics when i do
-
i think you need permission my mates mum lived near there and wanted to take a pine down but wasn't allowed would check before dropping as they can be a bit keen on fines
-
the only bit i didn't do was the final welds on the beam as i haven't a welder big enough. i fill a bag in 45mins depending on the size of rings
-
here's a few pics of my splitter
-
the question you've got to ask is would you be happy with your children playing under neath it? i bet if it was in a councillors garden it would be straight down
-
would definatly go with two stage pump thinking about getting one for mine i would check the max flow rate for you lever valve though dylan
-
power pack are i think 22 litres/min at 135bar(2000psi) at 3200rpm so they would run a splitter but it would not have full splitting pressure most pumps run at 2500psi-3000psi ,flow=speed of ram pressure=force of ram dylan
-
its the same size as a 90 rear tub i think? 130 hicaps are double cabs so small load space
