Start to finish of my Splitter

[RAYINTOMBALL]

Finally got my daughter to help upload these to the site. Splitter has 8hp Briggs I/C engine, 16gpm pump, 12gal hyd tank, 4.5in cylinder, with 12sec. cycle times. I have split about 5 cords so far and it is working just fine.


This is how it started

Lost count after the first couple of cases. But man it sure is relaxing sipping on a cold one when your trying to figure out your next fab problem!

You definitely have talent, That's a splitter you can be proud of. It's probably gonna hurt to knock the paint off it first time you use it.
