Has anyone built one of these? If so looking for plans and costs of materials?
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks-----------Ian

I've been searching for a splitter. Looked at Tractor Supply, etc. Talked with Super Split guy, etc. I expect to have large diameter butt ends to deal with and I am NOT gonna lift 'em. I'm buying a horizontal-vertical, likely an Iron and Oak or Timberwolf, 22 ton. Super Split is likely very, very good for logs that are liftable. But, this guy ain't liftin' no hernia busters in the future as I get older. I'm playing it safe.

I believe that Kellog has made such an animal. You might try a search of his post may tell you something. Or a PM may give you some clue's.

Consider safety in the design.
...the feed mechanism can run at any speed including as fast as the Supersplit.
I'd like to thank everyone for there input. but I think I have figured it out.
Down on the farm we had a hay baler pull type that worked the same way but the fly wheel is much bigger and had alot more punch,it used to rock the tractor and the wagon when running...
Now if I could downsize it a bit,not like home improvement w/tim allen. Otherwise I might be launching firewood satalite':jawdrop: s
Thanks Again Ian
Philobite,
The Kellog splitter actually runs at 10+ hits per second and the feed mechanism can run at any speed including as fast as the Supersplit. However the Supersplit speed although productive is not safe. The kellog video shows a safe speed.
""it looks inherently dangerous! ""
Duh!!! And a chainsaw, with it's bar & chain fully exposed to bite your face off doesn't look inherently dangerous!
That's rich...
