    28T New-ish DR Log Splitter - Is my coupler the problem? - see pic please!

    I got this DR 28T Log Splitter last year, and have run about 2-3 cords through it. Yesterday, the ram suddently stopped, mid-stroke, after 1 hour of continuous use. Engine is fine, fluid is fine, no leaks. I learned about the coupler online at work just now, and had my wife send me these pics...

    Building an ultimate splitter

    Okay, so I have access to some parts that would build possible the biggest splitter I’ve seen. At work I can get really heavy h beams (14x89s or 14x117s are common) and I have a few junk vehicles with running engines sitting around. At an auction house nearby they have an 8”x42” cylinder that...

    Tell me your dream splitting or processing equipment

    I want to know what your opinions are on splitters and processors and what you want to use. Personally, I use a Stihl Pro Splitting Maul and an MS 261 C-M because I can't afford the equipment I want. My dream setup for splitters is either one of these Eastonmades: The ULTRA...

    Splitter hydraulics quite

    I've split about a dozen cord with my new-to-me 27-ton Troy-Bilt splitter and never had the least problem, until yesterday, when the ram just stopped moving entirely. I had just just gone through a very large and green round of cherry and flipped the lever to return the ram, but it didn't do...

    Wood Splitter Fixed Wedge or Cylinder Mounted

    Just as the title states, Skid steer splitter, forward mounted. Fixed wedge or cylinder mounted? The conundrum ........Fixed wedge easier to build, although when using it as anything but a splitter (think giant pruner or such) it would try to pull towards the wedge or the material would be...

    Log Splitter Diagnostics.

    I have an MTD 24BF550B029 log splitter which seems to be a very common and frequently relabeled model. The cylinder goes up and down. But, it refuses to split and it doesn't seem to strain the motor. I replaced the pump seals which didn't fix it. Then, I rigged a pressure gauge on cylinder line...

    LaFont L-35 splitter low pressure hyd filter part?

    I am betting that there are still some of these Green Machines out there so if you could share the filter part number that fits it would help me. The one that was on this tool did not have anything legible on it and the parts store match for it only spins 1.25 turns (vs 3.25 turns) so thread is...
