I'm wanting to build my first splitter, I've finally have more wood than I want to split by hand, but I plan to leave some rounds for anger management My question is I've been thinking of using an electric motor perferably wired for 220v, I have an old air compressor with a start and run motor on it I believe it is a 3hp, I would perfer to use this, would this be big enough, I know there is a difference between gas and electric outputs. Also would there be problem with duty cycle, I can see running this for several hours, I'm not wanting to get into overheating problems. Next question, how can I plumb this to run both (gas/elec. not at same time) Has anyone seen a setup where you could use one pump and be able switch...belt driven with pulley's??
As I'm at the begining stages of the thought process any input is greatly appreciated? Now I will return to reading the old posts.
