Thanks for posting that! I like the idea and may incorporate it on mine!
I think it would be good if the lift could be easily disconnected/connected so it would just move when needed.
One idea that I just thought of would be to have the connecting arm being a tube and have a rod in that tube. Just have a spring loaded pin that would drop into a hole in the rod that would connect the rod and tube together. This way, you'd just pull the pin and the lift would stay on the ground until needed and the rod would just move in the tube. (clear as mud) :msp_ohmy: :msp_tongue:
Sort of along the same thought process, I've often thought about wood processors and how the wood is advanced with a separate cylinder. I wonder if using the splitter action to also advance the wood would work?
