Hey All,
25 ton County Line splitter with the captive wedge. Splitting red oak yesterday and my last round jammed a sliver under my wedge. I disconnected the wedge from the ram but could not beat the wedge to the spot where the beam would release it. Any redneck engineering ideas out there? In the past if a sliver got underneath the wedge I just kept splitting until it worked free but this time the ram is struggling to return the wedge to full retract because the captive edges of the beam are tighter.
