I made this splitter to run off my Cat mini digger. I had a thor vertical splitter before hand, but found it a bit slow even with a 2 stage pump.
The digger splitter is a very basic design but pushes around 17+ ton. It only has a stroke of around 12 inch as most of the fires and stoves over here take a log of 6 to 10 inch. The ideal ring size is between 10 to 14 inch, anything over 20inch would need cut into 2 with the saw for ease of handling.

I also made this handy grab for lifting and holding lengths for cutting. Thats my dad giving me a hand out while i was running in a new 372xp
