nice looking job there buddy..........
the pump looks like a 2 stage,,, 1 inch intake, so, get a 1 inch feed hose, remember, a pump should not have to suck.................
a simple double braid hose should suffice.......

The splitters is looking good. Is the engine in it's final location? I assume the hydraulic tank will be opposite the engine. In that case will the exhaust be directed at the cylinder and tank.
The hose should be a hose designed for suction but for the smaller diameter that matches your pump regular hydraulic hose will work.

OWWWW. My eyes are burning. That Yellow paint is bright.
Nice welding work you've done, for sure.

Real nice job. I'm curious about the wedge. Looks like a one stage wedge. How well does that work over a 2 stage wedge?

Nice clean looking build! The color is cool too. Are you going to put a log lift on it?

Paint, I always forget the paint. Damit, Nice color choice. I like the diamond plate on the push block too.

Almost there! my cylinder will be in fri, cant wait to fire it up and split a log.
still kicking around the idea of building a lift for it, and i still have to weld a cradle on the I beam to help hold the log in place.

Great fab work and welds. That suspension will make for smooth road miles.
