I have been looking at the small truck crains should be a bolt-on.

i would want the work table that would go along with a lift,i saw on you tube that someone added one to a powerhorse 20 ton unit,(just search powerhorse log splitter and scroll down a few)why has no one done it with a troybilt? I would love to see one and copy what they did.

I got my work table from Ebay and it works great. As for the log lift, you can add one to just about any splitter. You need to have a valve that can support one and then you are good to go. Problem is that they are expensive to add, even the DIY ones.

Yes, should be able to bolt it on. Beef up a mounting plate

I found this old power in/out AC winch in the barn. I've been thinking that I might be better off with the winch on a crane than a lift. The lift seems like it would get in the way?

I was thinking of a small shop lift that has a stand and an electric winch.This way I do not have to weld it to my machine and if I want to go either vert or horz it will not get in the way.I was also thinking it can fold up for easy storage.It really does not have to be that strong,on the really heavy ones i think it would be easier to to go horz anyway

Never thought about the truck crane lift or a winch mounted above. If I get the new shed in this spring/summer I will have dedicated space for the splitter and splitting so the next logical step would be one of those.

I think it would work. Not sure its worth the effort when you can go vert. I roll some big one's on there.
