Well I played with it for a few today. Here are some pix!
The 3 way split works really well. I might havve made it a bit tall. However pieces can slide under for a single split really well. I need to make a fantail catcher so that big hunks don't call off the bottom, they need splitting again.
If you can see, the pusher has a round plate that swivels on a bolt. This allows logs to twist rather than the beam. I have already seen this thing tuwn more than a inch while splitting...
This engine has enough power to move the machine, but very little extra.
If I went with a much more powerful engine, I would be tempted by a 22GPM pump. And a very serious beam. Then I would have to use a motor speed control to keep road speed within reason.
It drives well in snow, might have something to do with having a bunch of weight on the may-pop tires....
Comments? Suggestions? Questions???
