Splitter Trailer Combo

[jcappe]

Most of the time I leave the splits in a pile until I'm ready to move them home. If I'm loading them to take home right away I just toss them in the back of the truck as I'm splitting. Just need to be careful with the back window.

I did just that I have a old dragster trailer . I cut it down and put a home made splitter on the front of the trailer and I have to say it works wonderful it will hold just under 1/2 cord of wood and I can go almost anywhere with it.

slick setup, but wouldn't work to well in the size wood we cut...

Wouldn't work? Whose cutting your firewood, Paul Bunyon?

My dad bought this Coleman snowmobile trailer new in '72. He says the tires are original. I put a new receiver and welded the tongue up where it was rusted/worn.

Old post revival. I have been thinking about the possibility of building a dump trailer with a log splitter attached in front of the box that share the same motor and hydraulic pump. I can’t figure out why there are so little examples of this.

Trailer hoist pump is not big enough and would overheat trying to split wood. To save weight you would likely be better to use a small gas engine and a cone style splitter. Or try this with your tow vehicle. The Stickler - YouTube

I was thinking more along the lines of running the dump ram off the splitter motor/pump with a bypass or something.

Guy around here has a wood splitter built in to the flatbed of his truck.
I forget if it's pto or pony engine powered.

I’m not on board with it as a good idea.
Seems rather limiting.
There was a repurposed, huge golf course, diesel mower with a log splitter mounted on the front, thread a few years back.
That was a grin
For several years I had a short box Chevy beater pickup with a lift gate for doing wood. Load the big rounds and back up to splitter, lower several at a time to beam.
