I love the home made equipment because they put there mind and ideas to create a back saving equipment and they keep improving them better and better 😊😊
I will be making another one going into further detail on the exact parts I used and pricing. Look for that one coming up if your interested in building something similar.
I would suggest putting a guard on the back side of the chainsaw or put a locking mechanism on it so when you bend over to line up the log you don’t accidentally lift the chainsaw down if your clothing gets caught on it otherwise great job on the build as i was watching i noticed that could be a concern & isn’t out of the realm of possibility best of luck guys
Could you explain more what you mean? Iv got a stop for the up and down position on the pivot mech, so the saw can only rotate so far (if that's what you ment?). I had considered adding some safety mesh or something infront of the blade but given its a hydraulic motor I'm not too concerned with it spinning when I don't want it too. Thanks for watching
The other machine was mobile on a trailer so could drive it right up to the log pile. This one is stationary so I'm hauling logs to it with the tractor anyways so can load right onto it. I am thinking of building a live deck off the back vs a loader. Loader worked great just onto a different way now
No bad guy. I was wondering what the chainsaw motor was and where you got it. You probably said in the video but here at my work its so loud I cant hear the video.
Saw motor is a "concentric" high-speed motor. In Canada I bought it at princess auto but it's likely available through a hydraulic shop or online. The one I used is 0.51cu/in
I likely will, iv got a pile of slabwood I can process and iv got a couple loads of hardwood coming in the spring. Likely get all the kinks figured out getting through that then look at selling it and building another upgrade.
Motor is a "concentric" company name. 0.51 cu/in. Purchased at princess auto. If your not Canadian likely an online hydraulic shop would have the same or similar. Was I believe 229$cad. Went with that one due to the high speed of the motor. Rated for 5500rpm so a good option for a mid sized saw motor.
Case drain line is an option for the motor I did not put one on. It's a gear motor so not required but not putting one in could cause issues down the Rd. Guess time will tell. So far so good on that aspect
Thanks. We have been taking about that. Maybe change the hoses to 3/4 to add some more volume. Problem is the splitter valve is after the others so without changing all the routing its going to be hard to get it much better. I'm not too worried about the pushing speed but the return could be much faster
@Jon Edwards Thought of that but the problem with a bigger pump is the engine won't handle it. And I would then need to get valves with bigger volume capability and put flow controls on everything. Or possibly find a power beyond capable kick off valve and have it restricted after that with an overflow controller. It gets real complicated from the little I know of hydraulics
Looks very nice! What motor are you using for the saw? Also are you running just one pump? Thanks and keep up the good work. I know you say you don't need a 4 way but an adjustable one would be nice if you get into some uniform wood.
Saw motor is a "concentric" 0.51 cu/in. Went with that due to the high speed of the motor. It's rated for up to 5500rpm. Was told by a hydraulic shop it wouldn't be enough but it seems to have plenty of power for me. I did actually build a removable 4 way to put on it, just couldn't really figure out how to make it work right. I didn't really want to add another hydraulic element to raise and lower it, and didn't really like the idea of a winch or something like that. Maybe in the future.
I am just running a single pump off the motor. It means the splitter is slower then what I would like but just the way I went on this one. The motor, pump, and tank were sized together with the saw motor and I figured however everything else works was just what I'd deal with. If I was doing a big $ build I'd go with a much bigger main engine and run 2 pumps 1 for the splitter being a 2 stage and a single stage for everything else
Your looking at the hydraulic oil filter? Where I put it it wouldn't fit in the conventional downward position. It's a pressure fed filter so I don't think it really matters what direction it sits in(could be wrong but it's working so far)

Awesome machine you have built, thanks for sharing
Great build, hoping to get mine started soon. Look forward to the video with the stuff you used. Princess auto is my go to as well
Looks like a great project. Good job.
Very well built, Glad I can get most of the parts from Princess Auto.

@@joshbateman901 Definitely keeping an eye out, been trying to get other peoples ideas to build off of
OMG! I love it
I love home built tools had to sub, Heavy duty, awesome job ! looks like it works great :)
Great setup, love it. How do you chain feed set up?
It's a gear on the front and back making a loop and a second set of gears reducing the speed from a hydraulic pump
Awesome job on your build. What size bar and chain did you use?
18" long 3/8 chain. Stihl pitch
What are you using for hydralic motor for saw

Looks good but why did you get rid of the log lifter from a year ago? I think I want to build a log lifter so I was just wondering?
The other machine was mobile on a trailer so could drive it right up to the log pile. This one is stationary so I'm hauling logs to it with the tractor anyways so can load right onto it.
I am thinking of building a live deck off the back vs a loader.

Thanks, I really like both set ups@@joshbateman901
Hi Josh.
Wich motor did you install on the chain saw?
It's a "concentric" 0.51 cu/in
High-speed motor. I got it at princess auto but I'm sure it can be purchased online or some local shop
How many hydralic motors are you using total? I'm thinking 2, one for saw and 1 for chain feed
Yeah 2 motors 1 low speed high torque for the feed and a "concentric" brand 5000rpm motor on the saw. It's sized pretty good for the setup
@joshbateman901 are they both concentric motors? Do you by chance have part numbers?
No bad guy. I was wondering what the chainsaw motor was and where you got it. You probably said in the video but here at my work its so loud I cant hear the video.
Saw motor is a "concentric" high-speed motor. In Canada I bought it at princess auto but it's likely available through a hydraulic shop or online. The one I used is 0.51cu/in
Are you selling this one too? Thanks. Pretty nice build.
I likely will, iv got a pile of slabwood I can process and iv got a couple loads of hardwood coming in the spring. Likely get all the kinks figured out getting through that then look at selling it and building another upgrade.
Just found you and subbed. Look forward to seeing you do a full production run. Started my channel kast year. Good vid take care.
Thanks!
What motor are u running for ur cutting saw? Where did u purchase and approx how much?
Motor is a "concentric" company name. 0.51 cu/in. Purchased at princess auto. If your not Canadian likely an online hydraulic shop would have the same or similar.
Was I believe 229$cad.
Went with that one due to the high speed of the motor. Rated for 5500rpm so a good option for a mid sized saw motor.
Thank you for your reply. Very helpful
do you need a drain case for the saw motor ?
Case drain line is an option for the motor I did not put one on. It's a gear motor so not required but not putting one in could cause issues down the Rd. Guess time will tell. So far so good on that aspect
@@joshbateman901 Good thanks
Looks like a great setup. Any way to speed up the splitter ram cycle time?
Thanks. We have been taking about that. Maybe change the hoses to 3/4 to add some more volume. Problem is the splitter valve is after the others so without changing all the routing its going to be hard to get it much better.
I'm not too worried about the pushing speed but the return could be much faster
I’d increase the pump size to 22 or 28 gpm
@Jon Edwards Thought of that but the problem with a bigger pump is the engine won't handle it. And I would then need to get valves with bigger volume capability and put flow controls on everything.
Or possibly find a power beyond capable kick off valve and have it restricted after that with an overflow controller. It gets real complicated from the little I know of hydraulics

Do you have a link for the motor that you bought or a picture of the box or a part number?
Why is filter turned up like that ???

Half inch shaft HAHAH! That's what she said!! 😏
It's not the size it's how you use it!
