The rest of my parts came in today!
First off looks like it works well for your needs. I am building my first splitter now and love seeing what works for other people. Why the jack stand under the engine? Does the log lift put stress on that side and cause it to twist?
It's there for stability. Without it you have a triangle and the front wants to twist on the jack. I bought a jack to weld on were the jack stand is in that pic. Will weld on this weekend. Only thing missing on it...
Is the twisting due to the extended length of your beam? Just a question not ment to imply anything. I'm trying to determine how long my beam should be. My design has some of the same features as your splitter in regards to location of engine, tank and such, but my axle is mounted more in the center. Would this prevent the twisting you are experiencing.
