Tell us the pros and cons of this splitter
ineedanother replied to ebinmaine's topic in Tools and Equipment
I really like the two-way splitter and that one has a fast travel too. The older I get the less I want one without a vertical option though. I almost pulled the trigger on this one last month because it was $999 for members: https://www.harborfreight.com/30-ton-212cc-dual-action-log-splitter-70820.html -

I personally don't like the wedge on the piston, I'm not sure if it's just me but that's my take. I've only owned one splitter and I bought it used over thirty years ago. It has sat unused now for many years and I probably should sell it, but it took me so long to save for it I haven't been able to. I guess it's a reminder of earlier days when every purchase was debated and needed to be the thing needed most at the time. A time I miss and seems to have gone by way too fast. -

Neighbor has one identical to @Ed Kennell and he brought it over to break tire beads. He set it up vertical and put a 6x6 against the grain under the wedge. Then he positioned the 6x6 on the tire next to the rim and the bead broke effortlessly. Thinking it could be used as a press with the right adapters? -

My splitter can be positioned horizontally or vertically. I have never used it horizontally. It has auto return (about 5 seconds) which gives me time to position the next round. TSC 22 ton Made in the USA was $999 when I bought mine 30 years ago. Never failed yet. -

@Pullstart check out the Speedies... Cool buildings. Here's your plan Mike... or mine. I got the first two covered. Get retired Buy a enclosed. Put your motor scooter in enclosed. Maybe a horse too. Head south before that snow storm. Attend a show and ride the Lorida Keys. Live the dream. -

Options: 4 Way Wedge - Split logs down faster with a 4 way wedge. Should consider this - after watching videos of it in action for proper bind free action... -

Doesn't matter for our situation. But if the need to lift a log came up we have machines... That's what Trina thought too. Cycle speed is similar to our current splitter but obviously using it two ways cuts the actual time in half. -

Wow talk about a one track mind ... First I've seen of that style. Kinda of cool tho with the two way splitting. You could really split if you had younguns handling the pieces. You know the trays are a must have & usually they are "optional" . -

Excellent pictures @Lane Ranger Keep them coming! Thanks! -
I still have one I am supposed to get from Lowell yet. When I called about it and the steering shaft block #6472 that I didn't get in the shipment they sent me. (They were highlighted on the invoice I was just checking on them) She said that they were behind in making them both.

Cons lifting the logs up to it, but that could be solved. No vertical positioning of it? Pros The 2 way split. That's a pretty good idea Those rims might fit on a round hood tractor - Today

The BBT aka Trina person and I have been discussing an upgrade to our firewood processing system. This splitter seems to be a decent idea. https://www.woodsplitterdirect.com/products/boss-industrial-20-ton-horizontal-dual-action-gas-log-splitter-gd20t24 Thoughts comments questions suggestions??

And also my wife's sister (to add some context). She's a bit difficult to put up with.

Good to know. I enjoy building transmissions & motors just for "the shelf" and finding parts for short money makes it more enjoyable and affordable.

I bought a couple back in December from Jacks Small Engines.

I wish I had an hour meter on my Work Horse GT-1800, that Briggs and Stratton has thousands of hours on it. What I wouldn’t give to know that exact number. I will never say anything bad about the older Briggs engines. With proper maintenance they will last and last……….

Best he learns that slang here Don but heed our advice Boy and use it in terms of getting a ATV out of mud. In other words stick to your engines and crocheting. Much more healthy. A ****** block is a heavy-duty, opening pulley used in rigging and vehicle recovery to redirect winch lines and technically double pulling capacity by reducing load on the winch. By attaching to an anchor point, it allows for pulling from difficult angles,

Ethanol would be my first guess without watching that.
