Well a couple years ago I built an awsome splitter. 22hp 28gpm pump. Its still splittin strong. But when it comes to dealing with those splits it gets to be time consuming so Im gonna add in a conveyor. I got to eyeballin the wifes unused treadmill and got me thinking. Could it be used to drive a 30ft long belt (15ft conveyor)?? It has everything you would want, variable speed, descent sized motor and flywheel , plenty of power to easily move firewood splits. I mean if its made to handle hefty folk wood shouldn't be and issue . as long is can roll smoothly . I already bought the belt 7mm rough 24" wide 33ft long used conveyor belt and a 4"x24" drive roller. I was thinking of using the entire treadmill but with my belt installed and then make a frame to just extend the whole thing to 15ft long and prob it up with adjustable legs build a hoper around the control panel of the teadmill. May look funny but that would be cheap and easy. what ya think?
