I did think of another addition that is a must.... A conveyor! Cause I sure as heck couldn't keep up throwing wood off it! Now I just load straight to the dump trailer.

Well, after 3 and a half years, I finally got it painted. Few final notes after using it a few years. I should have used a heavier beam. I haven't bent this one, but it has flexed a time or two. The overall design is good and probably wouldnt change much structurally otherwise. When I decided on...

No problem, thanks for the interest.

Well all my saw and pipe builds were lost in the big site crash. Plenty of old timers here have seen it run at some gtg's back in the day. I'll dig through some of my old files and see if i can find any vids of my saw builds.

Want to sell my old splitter. My new one that i built has proved it self and i dont need 2. $800obo or trade for USA made hand tools or ? This is a hillbilly looking job that i pieced together over the years, but it has split alot of wood and still works good. The boom log lift will lift way...

I am currently set at 2600psi, but will probably set to 2750psi max that my prince 3000 valve is capable of.

Lets talk about wedge edge material and hardness. Any of my previous wedges have always been mild steel. I've had the edges get a slight bend in them, but nothing that a ball peen hammer and a file wouldn't fix. Until today. Was working on some red oak and this happened: So the question is...

Today was test 2. I added some steel to fill the gaps in the lift so pieces can't get caught while splitting. Noticed that on test 1. Outfeed table is fully attached. Can slide right in and out with the lift of the pin in the slot.

Adjusted the valves upto 2600-2700psi. Worked through some walnut that I had chunked already. Had a few rounds of elm that went through the 4way with relatively little effort. (Vid of the elm) Temp was mid 40s out today and I ran it about 30-40 minutes. I shot the system in multiple places with...

Test run:

Those wouldn't do what I need. I need flow restriction in both directions. A simple needle valve will do. Something like so: https://www.surpluscenter.com/Hydraulics/Hydraulic-Valves/Flow-Control-Valves/1-4-NPT-5-GPM-Prince-WNV-400-Needle-Valve-9-7961-4.axd

Well it's setting on its tires. Some things I found out: 20 gallons of hydraulic fluid isn't enough. Still not on the sight glass. Even with 1/4" hoses reducing flow to the lift and wedge height adjustment, it's not quite enough reduction. If you go full lever, the wedge will go up and down in...

No suspension due to the fact I rarely cut or split off my family property all within a mile from the house. I use 10-15 cord a year on a bad year, so if I use this the rest of my life, it shouldn't see more than a few hundred cord. No, I figured the hose length with the 45° elbows in place. I...

2 orders from them. I think they have me for 6-700 bucks in this. I quickly went through my spend sheet on this project earlier today. As always, I'm over budget. I was aiming to be in the $1500-1800 range, but I'm about $2250 so far. I think all purchases have been made, but will still have...

Well It's not the cleanest hydraulic routing, but it should work. The only part I'm not real happy with, is the 45 out of the vavle then making a 225° loop to the front of the main cylinder. However, I couldn't come up with a better way with out using a hard 90 at the front of the cylinder. The...
