Additional uses for log splitter,

[BHD]

I got a farm magazine to day and it has a section where they print ideas that can be useful around the farm,

any way for some reason I never thought of multi uses for a log splitter,

one of the ideas was where some one made a head for there log splitter for bending re bar for a project,

and that got me thinking pipe bender, or tubing bender with some type of head, even a horizontal press.

could a oil seed press be made?
or some type of peltizing machine head be made for it?
Oil filter crusher?

and thoughts what other ideas or things have you used or made for attachments, for a splitter,

tire crusher. crush, turn 1/4 turn repeat then the rim falls out of the tire.

I've used mine to break tire beads and bend diamond plate for trailer fenders.

I used to recycle cans. I envisioned some heavy plates and a way to crush shovel fulls of them But never made it past that stage.

I have on several occasions used mine as a bending brake.

When I made my splitter I made a adapter a few weeks later to use as a shop press.

You can see it sitting on the splitter. Just pull the pin, tilt the cylinder, remove the wedge, install the press adapter.
