Here is my plan. I have given this some thought and I decided that if a splitter has a engine, it should be able to move under it's own power. So I ordered a few parts, and am starting a transformation.
It was kinda slow, so I am going to a 16 gpm pump.
I will keep the 5" cylinder, and the 6.5 hp engine.
low speed high torque motor hooked into a rear axle.
Some kind of a 3rd, steerable wheel. Second valve and a few hoses and I have a reversable 3 wheel crawler. I figure the top speed would be walking pace.
This also gives me a chance to replace the wedge that ain't straight.
And move the valve to a sensible location.
Also put on a larger oil tank to help keep things cooler.
This is gonna be fun!
