I weed eat mine with a saw blade on the weed eater then chip shred it then till

Should have mowed it first let it dry.out then tilled it in.

It was well thought out and well done. It's not fancier than it needs to be. I like the way you don't waist the viewers time.

Must have taken many hours to build that , very professional I thought .

That'll be a lot of good organic matter for your garden! Not saying that you did anything wrong, but if it were me, I would've mowed it first and then covered it with a tarp for two weeks or so before tilling it.

Good job but I do not think it's a 34 ton, the diameter of the piston rod is too little.

Ha ha I know you waited all season to do this. I’m already thinking about what I can till next year. Nice Horse.

pretty cool !!!

Yeah!

Ok guys im going to knoebles in 3 days should i ride this im kinda scared

Really cool coaster. Well designed. I ride coasters all the time and gotta say....this one scared me a bit.

Very nice work man!

Can you tell me how you welded the pieces for wedge track

That tree is too much for that saw from the sounds of things,Sounds like it's gonna die.

Hand loads. Sierra 300 gr. JHC and max load of IMR 4198

Very good its a nice machine for sure be proud of a good solid piece of worksmanship greetings from Ireland

I enjoyed watching the three videos about your splitter, I have a store bought unit that has the same style and size splitting wedge, any chance if a quick video if the 4way wedge you made please??

Nice work bud. I like the integral tanks too. I just rebuilt mine... and from the past - when I see someone holding the log while it splits - I cringe sice a few times when all that pressure builds but the log has unique shape or character - there are times when it will suddenly pop .... even if it does not fly off - it hurts your hand just from the shock ! I used to have my 3 yr old pulling the valve lever - man we made some wood quick - now will be even better - he can run the whole deal ! Cheers !

give me a idea on the bolt for short logs I will drill my h beam so mine will work like that thank u

Your so painfully slow I love Knoebels you Moran!!!

Nice f***ing splitter, love the frame - tank.

I like when they put the N&W whistle on it. It's got the regular NKP whistle for this trip.

what would need to be changed to make the ram move more quickly?

What formula did you use to find out the pivot point going from horizontal to vertical. Better yet, what's the length of your I-beam and how far from the front of your foot to the pivot hole? My 3rd splitter is going to be a similar design. My 65 year old back is wearing out. Hoping you have time to answer. It's Nov. 2016 as I write. Thanks.

Bob, I used the shock pressure rating of the cylinder. I think that's how the store bought because their tonnage ratings are higher than what the math works out to. The 4" cylinder works out to about 19 ton, but they're rated at 22. The 4.5" cylinders work out to 24-25 ton, but are rated at 27. The 5" cylinder works out to just under 30 ton, but are rated 34-37 ton. The only way to come to the numbers that they do is to use the shock rating, so that is what I did. Kinda bs, but since they rate their splitters that way, that's how I rated mine. The Prince cylinder I used has a 3000psi working pressure rating, a 3500 psi shock rating and a 5000 psi burst limit. Area is ¶r2 so for a 5" cylinder, area is 3.14x2.5x2.5. multiply that by 3000psi comes out to about 59,000#. If you substitute 3500psi, now the result is about 68,000#. I have a pressure gauge on the pump and it rarely goes over 1000 psi. Even cutting through big knots, it may go up to 1,500 psi. There have only been a few time that it approached the 3,000 max.

Some very well thought out ideas were incorporated into this log splitter. I like the idea of having the ability to switch tanks for cold weather use. I like everything you've done! The bolt idea is interesting but I see you use a clevis style connection which is threaded. I tried this once and over time the threads gave way ruining the yoke. If I had used a cross-pin style cylinder it may have been OK. You mention 34 tons. I quickly calculated the area of a 5" diameter piston then multiplied it by 3000, typical max pump output, and the result was 58,000 pounds or 29 tons. How did you arrive at 34 tons?

Good video. I slipped down once ! Wearing similar shoes. Thank God I fell away from the machine! Food for thought!!!!!!!!!!!

Really good idea those short stop bolts!

Is this in rochester

this coaster is so painfully slow...

what kind and where did you find the cylinder i need to 35 ton ones like you have thanks aaron

Is the wedge not going up to the end plate ?? If not tearing split pieces apart will get old,, could just add a spacer on plate so wedge would cut / split all of those fibers,, just a thought

What street is this on?

What street is this on? Is it accessible?

Wow. That's excellent. I wish you were my neighbor so I could pick your brain for how you did this. I wish I had your skills.

Wow....nice job !

good job well build little slow on cycle but will do the job, a 12 v winch with timber dogs on swivel boom will save back -- build my 6 ton in 1979 rebuild to 25 ton 2012 new 17 hp engine , 22 gpm 2 stage pump, 4 x 30" cylinder and new 12 v winch -- all big steel same -- love my 12 second cycle -- maybe build a 4 way wedge soon -- have split 48" dia red oak just to test but will cut big stuff in 1/2 -- most my wood is red , white, water, pin oak some hickory some pecan

Nice work. Did you follow any plans? Or build it on the fly?

You have come up with at least three design ideas that I really like. Designing a four-way that just slides over the existing head is awesome! The bolt dogs along the I beam to shorten the ram return is awesome! The detachable log catcher is awesome! These are mods I might be able to make on my commercial splitter. You are genius and, well, awesome!

Great work on building the splitter and great video.Thanks.

It's more likely an H-Beam, not an I-Beam.

Where did you get your ram, pump, and valve? Also what are the specs for the pump and valve?

Man you did a great job on the log splitter.

T=up

good looking professionally made machine. well done.

try 6 to 8 inches apart and 18 inch rows you will do a lot better

Big job but totally worth the effort.

good job

Three seconds? You might want to shorten it a bit. Its too long for most folks to see in one sitting.
