I am building a spliter to go on a skid steer. I started with a 4x6 tube 1/4" wall then i made a butt plate out of 1 1/2 plate welded to a 3 1/2 heavy wall pipe that is in side main tube runing the length of it. I didnt know if the 4x6 would hold up.The wedge slide will go all around the 4x6. I want to turn my cylinder on its side so the hoses will come out the side. My cylinder is the kind that has pipe ends that take 1 1/2 pins. Will it make a diffrents the cylinder on its side like this ? I am also going to stand the wedge end of the cylinders pin up and down in order to make the wedge not so wide. Also i need to see a close up of some wedges. The spliter is one that will split wood on the ground.
