I am building a new splitter and have a few questions. First of all, my beam is 7/8" thick and 8 1/4" wide and its 9" tall and 3/4" thick up and down. My cylinder is a 5" bore with a 3 1/2" shaft and a 30" stroke. My first questions are about the pusher plate, is 10" a good height? How much play should the slides have side to side and up and down if any? Does the bottom sliders need to be 10" long if the pusher is 10" tall? I would love to see some detailed pics of some pusher plates and slides, homemade and purchased. Next is the wedge, I really like the timberwolf wedge with the hydraulic up and down slip on wedge. Can that be bought somewere? Anybody have some dimensions on something like that? This will keep me busy for a while, but will update progress as I make it. Gonna be a all summer build.
