A few years ago I built this logsplitter, but the axle and wheels did not allow for towing behind the tractor or truck. I had used a 3/4" axle with wheel borrow tires, and towed it behind the 4 wheeler or had to load it on a trailer to transport. In the makeover, I bought an old popup camper and used the axle and springs as a starting point. Used the tractor to lift the splitter up while cutting the old axle off, and then lowered onto new axle and towable frame. I figured now would be a good time to add a log lift. With an order to Northern, and a few trips to the parts store the splitter is now up and running great. I still want to add chainsaw storage, on the deck and maybe a place for the gas can.
I would also like to update the 11gpm pump but the budget took quite a hit with all the new parts. I used a Prince logsplitter valve and added a Prince Priority Flow Divider which helped slow down the lift cylinder speed and speed up the splitter cylinder. Just had to share with fellow wood burners. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
