I paid for my first one. My uncle did my second while explaining his process. Outside of those two, and the one with my oldest son’s birthdate written on the packages, I did all the rest. My wife wasn’t happy I was hunting up to the last minute before delivery and was really annoyed our son’s DOB was on the packages.
Sean ,surplus center has a 5x24 x2 for $349. Says speeco brand. https://www.surpluscenter.com/Brand...draulic-Cylinder-Speeco-S390117BC-9-16296.axd
I warned my wife, before we got married, that I go upstate hunting every opening WE, but it is always either on or near her birthday, so I catch lots of flack just the same ... but I go!
I like the way venison tastes, so does my wife, so it's seldom we marinate or season it. I like mine pretty rare too. Go for a medium for the kids. They just won't eat it. They do the same thing with beef too. Just weird kids.
Thanks, that seems more inline from what I was recalling.
Here another place I've used for some splitter stuff Sean.

Thanks Steve. Those all look like sae #8 fitting on their cylinders, should either be #12 or 3/4" pipe for my set up.
Yes. The specs say #8.
I wasn't exactly hunting or expecting to get a deer, so I was not prepared to butcher one this week. I almost just left it for the coyotes. I wouldn't have searched it out, but since it happened right next door I decided to go for it. I have processed deer (with friends) in the past, and may someday again.
This, in addition to convincing my wife on a moments notice, and having other things taking priority is why I didn't do it myself (see the title next to my name.)
I figure this is still cheaper than grocery store meat.When I built my splitter I used a 4 foot long cylinder that was readily available for cheap money. The longest logs that I can split with it is 26". That was what I used to burn in my previous Nashua stove.
My 121 pound dressed doe in December of 2023 cost me $150. All the meat was labeled, vacuum packed and frozen. Sausage would have been extra
thats why I have a gap between the wedge and push plate. If the piece fits between them, it will fit in the furnace. Couldn't have gone with a longer stroke, unless I cut it down. The beam is used was just long enough for the cylinder thats on it. Learned a lot building this one, and will be making quite a few changes on the next one.
I got out to try out the newly rebuilt 350 chainsaw. It does cut stronger than my other. 350. I had a problem with constant stalling after letting off the throttle. I kept cranking up the idle and it kept stalling. Turned out to be that the idle screw was really loose. When cutting the idle screw was backing out. Off to the garage I went to fix that issue. The threads looked like they had Loctite on them previously. I took down this 16 inch Ash with it today.

I welded two stops on my I beam to stop my pusher from hitting the fixed wedge rather than shorten up the piston.

$80.00 here to get a deer processed and the place I use does a GREAT job.
I used to do all my own processing, moose, caribou, bear, deer ect.. Even Dall sheep, but I just got tired of doing all the work and started having it done!
I do still have a decent sized grinder ect., and I still use the grinder from time to time, in fact I ground some pork a couple days ago.

Well, our local guy charges 150 and sausages are extra. He drives a Duramax Diesel and…..
Well……. He gets it serviced at my dealership so I kinda get the hookup
My brother in-law likes his back straps for steak and everything else ground. I’ll bring the meat broken down off the bone and trimmed of as much silver skin as I can. These fellas will grind and vacuum seal it for free for me.
End of the season I drop off two cases of Modelo for his workers
As for my deer, I have him do them up “standard” on the first deer and the next deer gets made into nifty cuts and sausages. His pepperoni is phenomenal.

Matt is really being politically correct here!
Let me interject some reality! Every year she tries to make him feel guilty about going up on (or near) her birthday, and becomes inflexible about celebrating it in advance, but he told her he would be doing this before they got married, so he goes up to the cabin every year anyway.
Hey, we only get just so many hunting seasons in a lifetime, and you are never really sure when they will end. Enjoy them!
I'm frustrated that I can't still cover the ground like I used to, but I get out there anyway.
