You noodle it with that saw ?? Makes it easier to hold while the ram retracts !

it just needs the one pully on the front then you could raise the lift while the cyl. is returning
My guess is that there is a 'parking spot' where the saw is sitting in the photo.
Split round #1 and the lift raises up round #2. Roll round #2 into the on-deck parking spot, retract the ram, roll round #2 into splitting position.
My concern would be getting hit by the log lift while you are focusing on splitting. Might load the cylinder unevenly too, but probably not a concern for the person who built that device. Clever use of existing an power source.

Lot of pages, and a lot of detailed information to go through in that thread, Iowa.
I might suggest to others interested to start with Post #79 on Page 6, and Post #100 on Page 7 in that thread for photos.

Here's a 2 minute and 50 second video of the Timberwolf TW-P1 with a simple, manually operated log lift. At one minute and 53 seconds in to the video, you'll see the operator use the manually log lift. Some of you fabricators should be able to make something like this.

Here it is. It is a long pole on the operator side of the machine, that pivots underneath the beam, and levers up the log and caddy on the other side of the machine. Simple. Low tech.
Anybody use this that can comment on it?

I really like this one. Simplest one I've seen so far, and it's portable. Easy enough to build. No welding.

I like the simplicity of a log lift without hydraulics...pretty cool.
I agree. Very cool device. :msp_thumbsup:

I have the same log lift. It works well for the vast majority of the wood i split. I weigh in at about 180 lbs and sometimes have trouble generating enough lifting froce to move the big rounds onto the beam. I think I have some pictures of it in use in a thread I posted a while back. Hydrolic would be nice, but its hard to beat the simplicity of this style.
