designing a new hydraulic log splitter and wondering if anyone has ever built one that could load 2-3 rounds in at a time?
in my last build, which was really pretty quick with a 6.5 - 7 second cycle time I found myself constantly waiting on the return cycle.
Was wondering if running a longer cylinder that could push 2-3 rounds through with each cycle may be faster? You’d be waiting longer for the return but could be loading rounds on the return stroke.
Just wondering if anyone has tried it or seen any videos of anyone who has?
i haven’t seen much online in my searching. So I’m wondering if I’d be pioneering a new design or just building an incredibly slow splitter lol.
