I needed a log splitter and I'm sure the cheapest route would have been to buy one already made, but I really hate the sound of small engines and I didn't want another engine to maintain. I went the route of building one powered by my Kubota B2920.
The main parts were:
Northern Tool Log Splitter Kit (Ram and some other pieces)
Prince Model LS3060 Rapid Extend Log Splitter Valve
Prince PTO HC-PTO-2AC Pump
First part was welding the anchor block to the beam to mount the ram on.
I had to cut the beam down, but didn't have a torch, used the sawzall, tedious but it worked.
This is where the lower link arms will hook up.
Stiffened the bottom plate up with channel to keep it from bending
Main framework complete and painted
Project finished, splitting some test logs: https://youtu.be/sz4ni1fqI0c
