I bought a home made splitter a few months ago. It looks like the builder originally intended to have a hydraulically raised and lowered wedge but changed his mind. There is an open space and a mount for the bottom of a hydraulic cylinder. The existing wedge is almost 6 inches wide. I was thinking about replacing the wedge with a much thinner wedge, with a front and a back section like a Built Rite wedge. The horizontal wedge would encircle the rear part and have a tab on the back to connect to the top of the cylinder. Does anyone have any ideas about how I could accomplish the same thing without replacing the existing wedge?
