Video #13 Gravely Tractor Demonstration Series 1952 Model L with Unicorn Log Splitter

After 3 years, I have finally filmed another Gravely Tractor video for my channel. This is a 1952 Model L with a Unicorn Log Splitter attachment. It's the very first tractor I restored years ago.
Our good friend Larry Keaton let us come up to his house and try the Unicorn log splitter out on a huge pile of red oak.
This rare attachment actually does a great job splitting wood. A great piece of Gravely tractor history!

Great video my Uncle worked at the Dunbar plant. He was the head of shipping and crating dept. He passed just last Nov😮. So glad to see your great interest in the product

Love Gravely's...but that's got to be tough on your back...ouch

I have the same huskee but on mine they put the filter before the pump and when i got it the hose would collapse between the pump and filter so it ran reallly slow. The old guy was selling it because of it i guess. I just put a steel pipe in place of the hose with hoses for couplings and its worked great.

You do great videos, so clear! A while back you suggested you planned to do one on the Chain Saw Attachment. Still likely to happen, please?

Nice set up! How about running your 20 gallon sprayer next? Thanks.

Might drive screw splitter it on to a pickup truck bed and bolt it down and work from a small stack of wood on tailgate and toss either to back of truck or to garden tractor trailer, a foot or two lower. Your lower back will thank you, particularly if you have more than one pound of visceral fat.

I like the concept of a Gravely, but everything Gravely I see=dangerous to the operator... Maybe that's why I see so many West Virginians missing limbs and fingers/toes...They all seem to have a Gravely or 2 rusting in the back yard.
Now, how come you cant split from the end grain like you wood with a conventional splitter? Might work better...
