Thanks guys, it is a horiz splitter, the hitch bar is not built yet, it will be removable. the cyl is going to be a 4" x 20"stroke, top of bed is 35.5" high
it is only going to have a 5HP Honda eng w/an 11 gpm 2 stage pump on it.
I am building it for home use only, non comercial, i think it is big enough
for my needs. towards the front will be toolboxes for gloves chain sharpening
tools oils , and gas.
Looking really nice! Really smart idea with the big tires. You will be able too stand straight while working. Also yes absolutely the 4" cyl, 11gph 2 stage pump and a Honda 5hp will be perfect for you. That the same set-up I have and I've yet too find wood I can't bust. Mine does verticle (thankfully) cause I've had some rock maple rounds the size of truck tires that I had to 1/4 before I could lift them too horizontal split.:greenchainsaw: One tip for you. Make your hydraulic tank with a good 5 gal capacity. That way she'll run cooler.
??? I'm 6 ft tall and my waist is at about 40-41 inches.35 inches is too high.
The correct hight is with the beam even with your waist.
You gotta lift them things up there!
Excellent welding! 20 inches will make a very nice length. 11GPM isn't gonna set the world on fire, but will be functional. 5hp is perfect!
I have kinda gotten used to a out-feed table.

The way the suspension is set at the moment, height looks to be at the max. I may be wrong but there seems to be 4 different heights that can be fairly easily attained by changing axle position.
35 inches is too high.
