Suspension on a splitter, pretty cool. I bet it will tows nice. There is a rough patch of hwy 70 that would test it to it's limit.

Ya it was built like that in the early 80s. My buddies dad put this one together. Sat for 20 or so years. I welded the suspension so it's stiff now. The suspension was worn out bad and towed horrible. Top heavy so it swayed badly. Stiff now. Still in the shop getting worked over. Gives my neighbor something to do. He loves it. He is a retired machinist. Self employed and still has all of his machines and what not. Been thinking about porting a saw up and having him help me cut the base down and make a pop up piston. And cut the pop up in the cylinder. Never enough time in a day.
 
she's definitely a beast does it tow good now? what length can you split?
two stage gpm? Good heavy duty splitter:clap:
She should tow well now. I think it will be done today. I can split up to 22" long if i want. Usually just cut to 16" unless I get someone requesting longer lengths. It is a 2 stage! Which is nice in gnarly logs. It also goes vertical for those bigger rounds that are heavy.

Thanks for the comments !

I believe it's around a 27 -30 ton splitter.
 
Had a great day at Boyd's Outdoor Power today with Jonsered Racket, Wet Gun Powder, 5R-inc, old guy, grizzly Adams, pele55, derrick Johnson kddeerpark, and the dodgegeeks!
