Hobbie IME The big stuff dries faster when slabbed that way, really notice it with cherry.

I stand the splitter up and sit to operate.
Hence the pvc comment for rolling and sliding the bigs.
Experienced at sitting on a drywall bucket lol.

Friend does his horizontal with a roller conveyor from tail gate to splitter, pretty slick.
25 degrees this AM, what apple blossoms?

and peach,pear,plum and sweet cherries here.

Looks nice!!!

i have a red and a white oak here about 3 ft across each ya can come practice on if ya want.

Mail it to me.

Nice! Mine still has a wood handle.

Mail or hydraulic splitter. Try splitting Northern New York dead elm. End of story.

Nice one Finn.

Here's pics of my homemade one. I don't know the tonnage other than you can lay a log in sideways and it'll pinch it off without slowing down. Lol







Farmall low boy engine.

Very nice.

Good grief. Looks like that would spit a car in two.

Go big or go home...Lol

Amazingly it uses very little fuel. It just sits there and idles the whole time. And I like the purr of it.

Very nice Unit! I'm still doing it the old fashion way, by hand. Lol

That will get the job done. Local scrap yard sold one last year homemade like that.
They used a 1/2 ton chevy pickup for power & a beam about twice the size of yours.
Like Finster said, it would cut a car into.
They used it to crush rims, so they could get the tires off.

Hippie wins the dollar per tonnage category.
He'll go small block if that one lays down lol.

I have a 54 cub and thought that familiar.
Gonna come snitch that carb.

Oh yea, well mines more shiny!

Did you build 2? There is one in one of the sheds on the property we purchased. Looks similar but I think the motor is a bit smaller. lol

i have a buddy down the valley that built a splitter for fence posts on his big excavator.after showing me how cool it worked,i asked why he didn't just saw them on the mill 15 ft away???he said i was no fun.

Jesus Christ! (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) is that? It looks like it could cut a house in half. Does it run on diesel or nitro methane?

I had trouble with this one until I took it apart and soaked it in cleaner. Runs like a top now!

Yep, oh got that covered.

I've used one like your a couple times, a buddy has one. It works nice and I'd buy one of I needed a splitter.
