    Bit of overkill for a splitter

    I bought a little machine that I was planning to rob some parts off for a future build. I'm planning to build a vertical splitter some day so collecting steel, cylinders, pump etc whatever I think I might need or use. I haven't got it home yet but it appears to be in too good a shape to cut it...

    Attachments for pushing over leaning trees

    I built this today to use to push over a bunch of leaning trees. I also plan to use it to lift shingles onto my sons roof to save carrying them up a ladder. Pictures show it with shingle attachment on it and 2 bundles on it and about 16' high. I made the end truck hitch receiver style and will...

    What goes up will come down

    I don't start too many threads on here but I figured this one might be worth while. Went back to the bush today to do some tree cutting. Snow was pretty deep so decided to go to a section I haven't cut in for awhile. I usually walk thru the section and clear out any dead standing or leaning...

    Why I work alone

    Hydro works 2 spool valve and detent kit question

    I bought my Hydroworks valve for my 36" splitter from Princess Auto. "guy" there said to change it to "wood splitter" valve you just have to add the MD30 Detent kit. Now that I finally have it (bought online and shipped here) I've been reading up on it and it appears that this kit just locks the...

    Disapointed in my Stihl

    Had this saw a few years now, hated running it because it cooked my hands off, I had to wear heavy gloves in the summer just to keep my hands from burning. Once I figured out what Little snow symbol on the side was and what the little button on the side was for it was a joy to use. Artic saw...

    36" splitter build

    I've been working on this thing for awhile now and have been making little progress. Just too much crap going on to be able to spend much time on it. Have tons of rounds already cut up and ready to be split with this rig. Here are a few pics in no real order. Someday this winter I will do an...

    Auto cycle valve, worth it or not?

    I'm building a 36" splitter for my owb. 13 hp motor with 16 gpm pump, 4"x 36" cylinder. approx. 35 gal hydraulic tank with 20 gallons of oil in it. It'll have a 4 way wedge with hydraulic lift. Will have a log lifter at some point but not right away. I plan to use a hay rack for staging the 36"...

He buys a load of logs about 8" to 20" diameter x 8 to 20' long logs dumped at the end of his driveway, he lives on a 3 acre rural lot. Maybe 5 full cord. Likely...

    What's killing thesee trees

    These are pictures of the ash trees I'm cutting down. I have a buddy who says it isn't ash borer damage. What do the pros here say. There are only a couple trees that don't have the marking and I've included a couple pictures of them. I've been cutting the trees that have dead branches on the...

    Finally got rid of the bunch of crap wood I had so I let the fire go out on the OWB last weekend. Flipped on the electric water heater breaker on sunday. Only using it for hot water in my house so the temp was still at 125 or so today. When I got home from work my wife said that the water sure...

    Steiner logging

    Refined my arch abit and had some time to play with it today. The darn winch handle vibrated loose and is long gone. Was pulling some pretty big stuff around another tree and maybe bent the hitch a little. Couple hours and I got some wood piled up. Won't be able to get it home until the wheat is...

    Stihl Artic saws

    Ok, I might not be the smartest Stihl owner out there but at least I'm learning. I do a fair amount of buying at auction sales as anybody who's read "My firewood tools" thread knows. I have about 15 saws including some huskys, and even a poulan or 2. I bought a Stihl 440 awhile at a sale, it has...

    Changing wedge from cylinder to foot on Speeco 25 ton

    I've finally started getting ready to cut up my Speeco 25 ton splitter. I bought it a couple of years ago and it has spent very little time here because everyone is always borrowing it. I was gonna build my own but after getting some prices I couldn't beat TSC new sale price. So now I'm cutting...

    Zooger 1, my new 4way splitter

    Zogger mentioned something the other night in a thread and bang the lights came on. Why didn't I think of this before, a splitter with a 4 way head and it's enviromentally friendly to boot. And even better was I had all the parts laying around and wasn't even using any of it. I can't believe the...
