Unfortunatly at todays cost of materials unless you can get extreme discounts you may be hard pressed to get final cost below $3000.
I have built 6 splitters in the last 15 years , steel was free friend had a fab shop, hydraulic components were surplus, axles and tires no charge from freind at junk yard. Still cost over $1000 to build. In no rush it average a year to gather the materials at the right price.
