do you cut wood for profit or just yourself? Does the lift make life that much easier or is it overpriced and overrated?
That's a nice looking log splitter. I really like your wedge. Built for stuff that needs splitting.Here's mine.....
I opted to go with a 2 spool prince splitter/lift valve. I used a straight brass fitting on the extend port on the lift cylinder, brazed it shut, and then drilled a 3/32 hole in it for a restricter. Works perfect, no need to feather the lift valve for fear of launching wood!
Thanks! She does the business to whatever you put to it, I've run bout 20 cord thru it since adding the lift, 4 way, and table last year. I don't know how I went so long without a lift, A must have for anyone with big wood!
Here is how I did mine. http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=60070&highlight=splitter
You are officially my new logsplitter hero!!!!!
THAT is what i'm looking for, and my current experience with retail splitter makes me want to come knocking on your door!...wait...ignore that...
I'll trade you one hardly used harbor Freight 9hp 30 ton for your little bitty poorly laid out and under powered and soon to fail splitter.
I'm doing you a favor here. What kind of unknowns are you dealing with? A splitter from a huge supplier is what you need and I'll take that dangerous contraption off your hands before you kill someone or yourself with it.

That is a really nice outfit. You worked some great features into it. I just printed out a picture and am taking it over to the welding shop, maybe I can get him to add a table and extension like that onto mine.
