Log Splitter

Ram speed is the key, you will need a massive hydro pump to fill that cavity.

Think this will do it?

I think most of the welding is done, except maybe some hose holders or something. Tomorrow is hydraulics day. I'm ready to try this baby out.

That might have the stuff, if it will give you 5 gpm at 3000 psi. :surprised

She went on a diet alright, nice fab work.

Now that looks like a log splitter, nice job Geno.

We'll get some vids of it in action hopefully this week. I just hope the cylinder and valve body is good.

Held up by parts again. They only had 4 of the fittings I needed (need to make the hoses so only 2 of the hoses were made. They were also short 2 reducers. We decided to replace all of the wheel bearings and seals while it was in here and they had all the bearings, races + caps, but no seals...

Should have the rest of the parts in the morning.

Got it all done and took it to the farm but it's binding on the pusher side. Tore a 1/2 piece of angle iron steel right off of it. It seems like it has the power but have to find out what's binding it. It's even bending the I beam a little. The pusher end is about the only part I didn't redo and I should have known that's where the problem would be...


Going back to my welder buddies place tomorrow to figure it out and fix it.

That's the fun of building and modifying. Getting the bugs out, is the part I like best. :help
