My 3 point splitter that I built myself using a 4"x24" cylinder has a 10 second cycle time. Its quicker than I can keep up with.
I made my splitter come off the tractor long ways because I usually split with a buddy and this allows unlimited access to the splitters work area. I built the whole splitter for $450 and a case of Coors Light. I also made a shop press adapter as you can see in one picture. You simply pull the pin on he wedge and stand up the cylinder vertically, pull the wedge, install the press adapter, and reinstall the pin.
