Figured id put up a thread on my splitter build (yes another splitter thread )
Im cloning a Timberwolf TW-5 with a few modifications to improve it,complete with log lift, wedge lift and table grate. Cycle time should be under 10s. As im 6'1 Table height is around 32" to try and save my back. The Timberwolf is around $7000-7500, i figure i should have this finished for less than half that.
Major specs are as follows:
Motor: Robin Subaru 14Hp OHC.
Pump: Barnes 22 GPM 2 stage. (not purchased yet)
Valves: Prince Hydraulic , Auto cycle valve and 2 spool valve.
Cylinder :5x24 Princess Auto Welded Cylinder. Made in Canada
I Beam :W6x25
Tank: 15 Gallon with filter
Im trying to build this splitter with all North american sourced parts (other than engine, which is Japanese) I could have likely saved $500+ by buying Chinese, but i try to support NA, Japan and European companies over China.
A few pics so far to get it started. Sorry,not that many yet, camera battery died after these were taken. Ill have some more, better pictures tomorrow.
What $90 of new steel looks like :confused2:
Attached is a quick rendering of the Ibeam section minus the "accessories"
