Iowa Charity Cut -

[sam-tip]

Been thinking Doug, since you don't use your sideways splitter on the tool cat anymore and have a spare Honda engine from the super split, with a couple note parts you could make a nice hydro splitter for the charity cut with minimal investment.

Problem is I have seen to many A.E. Metal Werx splitters and would want to make my scrap iron into one of those. That would be a big leap and I don't have a mill, lathe or great welding skills. I could save a few parts but I would want to start over. I have patched the sideways splitter back together 4 times now and I am frustrated with the splitter. I wonder what Kevin in Ohio is working on now? I enjoy reading his builds too.

Judging from the locations of the failures, your cylinder needs to be pinned to the ram at a lower point..
I would suggest even with or just below your 4-way..

 

[Hedgerow]

If you only use it for big uglies, ditch the 4 way all together..

John's beam gets bent too. I think that's one reason he carries a sledge hammer with him.

I did not make it. I broke it. It needs a redesign.

Got a torch?

Cut 3" of both sides and weld on a piece of AR plate.

Or just have Alex build you one....

And then there's that..

All it takes is time motivation and of course $$$$$$$$$$$$$

I think I could fix and change it for about 20 bucks...
But it would be 6 months getting it done...
Cause I lack in the first two columns..

Scrap iron is no longer my problem. Fellow AS member wants it. Now to find a box beam. Cheap.

Flange mount cylinder not good for that application. What is needed is a foot mount style.

I prefer tie rod cylinders, much stronger.
