It must be that time of year since there are so many splitter builds going on. I am gathering bits and pieces for the overall build.
I am going with a 20HP Kohler engine from a mower with a bad transmission. It has 154 hours on it. $250
I will be buying a 28GPM 2 stage pump.
I will be using bits and pieces of this ugly splitter $100
This belt drive off of a 11hp briggs just doesn't work and this maxed out at 900psi
The cylinder has 40" of stroke and is maybe 5" bore. It sat for a long time with the cylinder out so it rusted. I'm going to try to use it. I'm sure it will leak under pressure but I hope to salvage it and be able to use it. Time will tell.
This is what I need to get to splitting! It's all pine, sure wish I had some of you easterner's hardwood but pine is what we got and it will burn.
