Nice looking machine. Just curious; why the fittings on top of the square tubing between the side pins on the three-point hitch?

Excellent build! One question tho - there's always a question. Lol! Why is the splitting wedge welded on the bottom and bolted on the top? I don't see where it can be disassembled to change the wedge if need be. Again - excellent build!

The top bar comes off to slide a 4 way wedge over the steel tube behind the wedge to so it can slide and be adjustable, I assume anyways as other log splitters use that design

it,s the reservoir.

 

[busby]

motoman3b is correct,it's for the 4 way

OK. With the 3-point setup, I thought you were running off tractor hydraulics.

Looks good! Best addition to a splitter when your back gets old is out feed table(s). Next best is a lift, though yours will lower to get the big ones, right?
