Log splitter build

. NOTHING brings out more "opinions" than a splitter build.

I'll see your "nothing" and raise you.... two stroke oil.

Not really a wrong way to build one.

Everyone is different. Build one that suites you, and is ergonomic for you. And if built well with quality components it will bring decades of good use

I give him a couple of days of running it before he thinking of ways to improve it.

My first mod came after the first trailer load. Expanded the catch table.

I have been planning this for a few years and am making my best effort to not make changes haha. The other splitter has been the Guinea pig so I have a pretty good idea of the main things I wanted to change. This one will be operational by the weekend then I can start splitting a bit and get a better idea what I want for a catch table /chute ect.

I had intentions of adding a log lift but it might not work that great because of where my wheels are but I try to stick to stuff that in manageable by hand anyways so i will see how it goes

Welded the end plates on the rear of the beam and thr receiver underneath, made a stand and added some hose clamps underneath

My current splitter has a log lift. It's used all the time. Either to lift a large round or stack smalls on for faster splitting.

Anxious to see your finished product. Thanks for posting.

I was thinking a log lift would be handy as a table either way. Now that the tongue is on and it has some weight I'm going to try and cheat the hubs forward, as of right now I have 14" from the cutting edge to the tire
