Wtd - Hydraulics for log splitter
Wheels244 - 17/9/11 at 09:38 PM

Hi All

I want to make my own heavy duty log splitter - there's loads on ebay of the smaller type but they won't be up to the useage I have for one.
Has anyone got all or some of the list they want to sell ?

Double action ram cw with hoses
hydraulic pump - preferably 2 stage
Honda engine to fit pump - or a hydraulic power pack complete - or 240v single phase electric motor cw with pump
Hydraulic spool valve

I should have a spare pump,ram and spool block at work if they are any good to you .m.

All sorted now thanks to MkII

A top bloke - sorted me out not only with the hydraulics but an engine and some RSJ as well.

This is going to be one powerful log splitter

Thanks Mark

I'll let you know once the car is on the road.

Cheers
