been working on and off on my processor since last January.

Today got enough leaks plugged up, fuel system fixed, electrical hooked up, and hydraulics redone for the second time.

The splitter cycles an 18 inch stroke in 7 seconds. This with a 4 inch ram. The pressure relief is set at 2100 psi when i deadhead it against the stop, and so far only have the 4 way splitter on it.

ran an 18 inch log through it, and pressure never went above 500 psi. Broke my log holder off, need to redesign it and reweld it.

Then I need to go cut some rounds and figure out if it is worth mounting a saw onto the table to cut the logs, or just load rounds onto the table with the bucket, and have a GIANT splitter.
I'm almost thinking that I need 2 hands to run the splitter, whihc means I don't have the third hand to run the saw safely.
