Thank you I really enjoy using it!

Incredible! I really like your design and it shows some awesome craftsmanship. I'm in the process of building one myself mostly from scrap materials I happen to have, and it's proven to be a considerable challenge. Your videos are a real inspiration to many I'm sure. You did the best job of explaining and showing all the features of your splitter project of any on KZread period! Well worth the time I spent watching! Keep up the good work.. wishing you much success! Thanks for sharing..

Thank you! It was definitely a lot of work but is has payed for itself and was the best investment I could have made. It not only revolutionized my firewood operation, it helped me learn about hydraulics, fabrication, and design. Definitely worth it.

Very good!!! Interesting back ground music.

I believe I just got them off of ebay. They were weld in spindles with hubs.

I know this is a older video ,, I have pretty much the same setup in the works I’m building now .. just mine will be 48” stroke split cylinder for my large wood boiler .. by any chance you have a diagram of your hydraulic system And names of components . I have cylinders and pump , just need the control side of it mainly , like how you split between high flow valve for split ram , and the 2 smaller ones for log lift and wedge .. ??

Before I built the splitter I knew basic welding but could not do very nice welds. Building the splitter allowed me to practice my welding, measuring, cutting, and over design and fabrication skills. Since then I have made a good number of items for my dad (a bed and hitch for his golf cart, rebuilt his loader arms on his Ford 2120, quick attach forks and bucket,) Many things for my Brothers tree service. (Mat rack for the crane, blocking holders for the crane, a lift basket holder, a grapple saw mount etc.) The skills i learned building my splitter allowed me to build those other things making me money, as well as making my own things (hitch for my truck sides for my dump trailer). Besides all that there were not any commercial splitters out there that did everything my does. Even now there are only a couple I would consider.

24in wide, 20in tall, 15in deep. It is a thirty gallon tank. Sorry for the long wait.

Very nice. How much tongue weight does it have and how did you calculate for that?? The one I made, I should have made the 'front' a foot longer and moved the engine and hyd. tank a out that foot to create more tongue weight. Mine is basically 'balanced' and doesn't tow very good.

Mike Groat the side with the log tray has maybe 60-80 pounds it towards great down the road and around the yard. The other side has negative tongue weight but I use for pulling around the yard with my 4 wheeler so I can back it up to my conveyor. The table does have a rack on the side of the engine for storage. I have never actually used it. That makes the other side tongue heavy

Was that star wars music
