Log Splitter- Show us your log splitter.

[VirginiaIron]

Here is my little 5 ton electric splitter.
Got it on CL for $65 bucks.
Needed some TlC but I was able to get it working.
For it's size it works very well, splits most of the rounds I have.

Nothing wrong with that. That's a nice one. I thought about an electric one but sometimes where I split it's just too far from the house. Sometimes I wonder if I should get one of those so that I can split in my garage and avoid all the noxious fumes.

No but I have a little pin in the hitch I can tilt it up so the plate touches the ground so the stuff to heavy to lift can roll on. Normally I have a couple helpers so we man handle it. I'm working on building another one , that works off the quick tatch on the skidsteer and has a log lift and a hand valve. So then I can set the hydros in constant and just get er done by myself. My cousin wants that splitter back next year so I'll have to have it done by then. Should be pretty darn slick when I have it done

Sachs. Like the one who built mopeds many moons ago?

Here is my Husky 22 ton that I picked up from Craigslist, I managed to buy it for $750, it was used maybe 1 year.

There is so much equipment in that photograph I thought I was looking at a farm show. Nice stuff!

Oh, my. Looks like you have an economy tractor in that photo. Is that a power king? We had one of those, 1971 model with two transmissions, a loader, and many additional attachments. That's a nice tractor. What kind a log splitter do you have?

I bet you get a lot of good exercise with that ax.

Good eye. I have a '69 PK and a '67 Jim Dandy. The splitter is an Iron&Oak.

I wish you would tell my gut that!

Lol, I guess that you need a shorter round to maximize the abdomen crunch in your swing

 

[rowerwet]

Not mine, it belongs to my wife's cousin, massive!

 

[rowerwet]

I think you can split rocks with it

Very unique! Purpose built for sure!

 

[VirginiaIron]

Very nice! Looks like a barn crusher, lol.

I'd like to see that thing in action.

Guess this ends the debate of horizontal vs. vertical splitting . . . a compromise . . . diagonal splitting.

I believe that's the model I used to sometimes use as a kid, when three generations of my family would get together a few times each year to harvest wood for our assortment of fireplaces (many old houses). I thought it was just about the coolest thing on earth, back then.

That is the first four-cylinder log splitter I've ever seen. If his cycle time is more than 3 seconds, I'd say that motor is under-used, on a cylinder that size.
