I bought a Hydraulic Scissor Lift that will be converted into a splitter. This dude was extremley HEAVY. I cut out a 1 1/2" thick sheet of steel off the bottom. It was used as a counter wieght to keep it from turning over when completey extended. I also cut the frame in half and shortened it about 18 inches. All the work in these picture was the result of 2 days work.
Here we have removed the lift assembly and loaded the lift. The splitter will have hydraulic drive forward and reverse. as well as steering and a log lift. You will raise the log lift off the ground a bit--stand in it. and drive the splitter to the log pile.
