Fast Splitting- 5" Bore, 60" Travel...4.5 Seconds

18hp, 28gpm 2 stage pump x 2. Just an afternoon of processing firewood FY21

That's the most amazing splitter i've ever seen!!!

[@guerrydotson3213]

Garny, much respect on your build. I am jealous of your engineering capabilities. Truly a magnificent machine you built.....

[@josevelasco3245]

Jeez 60” travel in 4.5 secs is no joke.

[@josevelasco3245]

So that’s very fast…must get hot? Have you since put a fan in to cool it down? I ask because I have a 28 GPM pump with a 22 HP motor and it does get hot especially in the summer.

I’ve followed your builds for awhile now. What you did to make the RuggedMade better was inspiring. This unit here is ridiculously nice. You aren’t going to find this commercially. I also like your rack on the back of the tractor. Clean and functional.

That thing is Awesome!!! 👍👍 I've watched all of Eastonmades stuff and that's where the ideas are coming on my next splitter build! 22hp 28gpm Box wedge 3000psi

I had to come over and see this after hearing John Clark (fricknjeep) talking about it. That splitter is definitely one different animal. Bill

The thing is badass with just the one engine running,with both its just crazy! I see you moving back sometimes lol it just doesn't care what you put in it..looks like you split mainly oak,would like to see it run some knotty beech I'm sure the machine wouldn't care.

[@FromSteelToWood]

That was very impressive! I really think you are genius using 2 small engines with two pumps! I just watched Eastonmade last machine they made. I think you made it even better! Thanks!

[@garny3766]

Thanks Joe. Joe you and I think a lot alike. Using the setup as I did makes it 1...less expensive and 2... much easier to find replacement parts and 3 redundancy.

[@portedadrien9293]

Very impressive machine ! Thanks for sharing Have a good weekend !

[@redneckpanic2708]

Nice!! Walkthrough on how you built it!!!

[@precisioncomponentllc1820]

like how you used 2 valve bodies, pretty slick!

[@a.l.l.firewood8883]

Awesome build

[@340dave]

Whoa, that doesn't slow down one iota on the big rounds. Def impressive. I likey..

[@mikeh8228]

I can never understand why people split their wood so damn small! The initial splits, if you had put the 4 way in the dead center is great for an all night fire in my wood heater. All those small splits I guess are ok for a back yard sit around fire but burn too fast to make an all nighter out of.

[@340dave]

When you gonna post some more videos? Need to see that splitter in action!

[@garny3766]

Dave I’m busier than a one arm monkey with 2 bananas. I haven’t had any time for vids, wood cutting or my next splitter!….I haven’t even painted this one yet either!😆

[@carolinafirewood]

@@garny3766 Greetings. I'm now Carolina Firewood, and I have a RS757 also. I was wondering if I could get a diagram and some pics of how you added the auto-return function. Hope you get some time to post some more videos soon! Thanks. -Dave

[@dmhipkins]

Awesome!

[@stephenbercik3626]

Thank you for building this machine. I would like to also build my own log splitters. I own a tree service and have become somewhat fascinated by all the cool splitters out there. Do you have a website? Because I would like to learn more about the hydraulic components. I have learned some new names for hydraulic components but honestly these machines are still greek to me. Guidance/ instruction would be greatly appreciated and I would be willing to pay for plans or lessons if you had the time to compile a report.

She's got some boogie in her.

[@burtbetrix6823]

Gary awsome splitter I know you don't have the rugged made anymore I am trying to put the table on mine like your having a hell of time figuring out the hing part any help would be awsome thanks

[@chocryder]

How do you make them auto return. Would like to do it to mine
