Here are a few shots from a build last year. Started with a rolling Mighty Merk splitter from a yard sale for $125. I rebulit cylinder and installed a 16gpm pump, new prince valve, Honda 9HP and a 15 gallon tank. I did all the work myself and added a brake light for towing. Total investment of $1000. This is a heavy duty splitter that really chunks the wood. I think a much better investment than the Lowes/HD stuff. I have since scrubbed the fitting to the pump and installed a little longer hose straight into the pump.
