Looks like that's a horizontal only? Usually I see the wedges on the cylinder when they can go horizontal or vertical, but looks to me like the beam is weld to the frame.

Looks good. Been trying some hedge on it?
i put my saw tool box,saw gas and oil,and 5 gal gas jug for the splitter...i wanted it big enough to put all that stuff in.when i load the back of the truck full i got tired of putting all that stuff in the back seats

no so much
i had to do something the wife was getting tired of smelling gas when she got in the truck..plus with two car seats in the back it was a pain to get three saws and all that stuff in the back seatGood idea. I like the smell of gas jugs in the cab.

nice wheels!!
That is a good idea, I never take my splitter with me it stays home so I did not think of that.

It looks like a fine splitter, Kawasaki are now my favorite small engines.
That's the first time I've seen one on a splitter.

yes
the motor is a 15 horse. it came off a dr mower slash brush hog the decks went bad so i took it off and used it for my splitter..i put a 22 gpm pump to it and a 4.5 in cylinder and a prince valve and i will say its as fast as you will ever want a splitter....you really have to watch you fingers..0h the wheels.... my wife has a grand prix gtp and i bought 2 parts cars last year and took all i could get off them..so i took two rear spindles i had and welded them to the 6x10 in tube for the axle ..and i ended up with a complete extra set of tires and wheels so it works out i shouldnt have to buy tires for it.
