Thread: hillbilly wood splitter

finished my wood splitter over the holidays . my old hyd one just wont do the big logs .

Wow. Shine, that thing looks like some sort of midieval head/melon splitter! I like it a lot! Looks like it will give you a workout, and should certainly do the job-nice work-

lot less work than swinging a monster maul !

Well I'm looking to see where the SBC is hooked up to it as surely one doesn't need to still use manual labour to operate that ?

Looks like it will do the job. seems like I remember seeing one like that in action.

Whiplash, here are some that have motors on them. It's only a matter of time before someone puts a SBC on one.

very simple . there are many youtube videos of them . quite common on farms .

how much weight you have on the head?

that is a heavy wall piece of pipe. once i get it moved and set up i will add weight until the spring tension is reached. my shoulders wont allow swinging the maul any more .
