[hr3]

Project is done so I'm trying to post some pic's so I can share the build,, Works GREAT saves the wife's back

Well that didn't work,, Resized the pic's and everything still no load ???? I used to be able to do it I have some still in my files on this site but no luck

SAVES THE WIFE'S BACK? LOL Boy you sure are asking for it. LOL
They are a great asset to any splitter, wives are too

Load onto photobucket account and just paste the image link in.

Do you have to do it that way now ?? I shrunk them to 500 kb well below the limit ???

 

[davedj1]

That's the only way I've ever done it so I can't help you with direct linking. I use photobucket.

A 500kb JPEG file is going to be pretty high-resolution. Much higher than the monitors that people are going to be looking at them with. Try resizing them down to 1920x1080 or even 1280x1024.

 

[hr3]

It's already down to 512 by 284 and 105 kb.. They don't get much smaller than that,, I must be doing something else wrong,,,

I haven't had any "size" issues here... But I always shrink my images to about 600x500 or so for posting on the web, then set it for about 70% quality for JPGs (photos). Or, I typically use GIFS for screenshots. I usually target under 100K per file, but don't know the limits here.

This, of course all assumes you have JAVA enabled, at least for www.tractorbynet.com. I've done this using Firefox for Linux, but it should be similar for other systems.

Click on the photo icon at the top of the editing window.


This should pop up a second screen with "From Computer" "From Internet". It is a bit ambiguous, but you want "From Computer" to be selected, then you click on "Select Files".


A third screen pops up. Sometimes I find this is backgrounded, so I'll hit "Alt-Tab" to find it.
Select your file and click "OK". You can use the Control and Shift keys to select multiple files if you wish.


Once you hit "OK", it brings you back to the second screen. Just click on "Upload Files". Don't click on the "X" unless you don't want one of the files. Clicking on "Select Files" will take you back to add more files.


Once you've added the photo, you should see something like this in your message. Put it to where you want the photo to show up.

Are you getting error messages?
What do they say?

When you are resizing your photos are you also changing your pixel count down to 90 or 72? This makes a huge difference.

Thanks CliffordK This is the first Pic where I build the side tables .. Small table where she stands and a larger one for the in feed side..

 

[CliffordK]

Glad you got the photos working.
It looks nice.

Is the table on the left for loading the splitter, and on the right for unloading? Of course, you still have half the split piece on each side, but I assume it is easy enough to shove it aside.

It is hard to tell height from here, but I assume the left table is at the same height as the bar in the splitter.

This is the hinges going on to the lift table,, I used 1" black pipe and some 1" rod stock I had kicking around,,

The table on the right is just there to give a place to slide the split piece out onto the accumulator table..

 

[hr3]

Here is the accumulator table done,, As she splits she fills up this table and then throws them in the loader to take to the pile,,

I have to wait for the wife to load more pic's on the stick so I can show you more..

The whole thing when stored in the barn will fold up so that it keeps the same footprint as before,,,

 

[hr3]

This is the first test run after all the hydraulics were installed,,,

 

[hr3]

Weight test is done now for a log,, Opps I forgot to put on the stabilizer bar.. I'll install it before the log though..

 

[hr3]

The real weight test,, notice the support leg on the other side of the lift table.. After she finished 6 cord with it this year she found that you could fill the table then just roll them up to you when ready ..

 

[hr3]

Final test in the garage,, She likes it,,

 

[hr3]

One thing she did find out while using it is if you get real round big ones,,, Don't lift too fast.. One rolled right through the splitter onto the ground,, She stepped out of the way.. We didn't get pictures of it out in the field but still have a few apple tree butts to do,,
