I want to end up with a good splitter that i can tow or rent out as i dont have all that much to split ( 2 cords ) .
I was going to buy a cheap electric unit till i used one....
then a guy showed me his splitter and i was sold.
13 hp and will split 4 and a half foot log in seconds.
all the way out and back in in 6 seconds.
now i have been seeing alot of 13 hp honda clones on ebay and have a 5.5 hp clone going to run a gocart .
I thought i would try it as it was only $130 shipped (can) .
13 hp is around $300.
then i have a single stage pump but have read people use 2 stage ...what is 2 stage??
I also have a 12 inch i beam that is 52 inches long and want to know if i can mount the ram at the collar and not the butt end so i can cut a 4 foot log.
most all of the car hydraulic rams mount this way.
I have a good understanding that if i try squish a big log and it dosent split i could end up takin a dirt sleep if somthing breaks.
also can you push a log into a wedge rather than a wedge into a log???
this way you can make a T or + wedge and make more splits.
