Our splitter is a store bought model horizontal, vertical splitter. I soon found out how great it is at breaking down tires tho. On a whim I stopped at a yard sale because I saw a set of great looking one ton rear duel tires. The fellow needed them off the wheels for a restoration. None of the tire places could remove the tires. Ended up I went and took the splitter to his house and it peeled them off without a problem. He gave me the tires for the job. I'm still running them and he is happy as well. Also made a double roller for the anvil of splitter and use it as a press brake for flat bar stock. I need to cut off my anvil and make replacement dies as you have done. It also makes a good giant vice for the stuff to big for the bench repair. Oh yeah they split fire wood as well. That's just a plus.

I like the parallel to axel space saving design of the trailer mount, and the quick change cross-pin design for attachments.Some ideas you may want to consider: Working alone, I find a foot actuated pedal very convenient -frees up both hands; height adjustment for the cylinder could be incorporated (higher for splitter wood, lower for the press or other functions; a pivot and longer hoses could permit tipping up the unit into a vertical position as suggested by garrisonaw.All in all a very well made unit, thanks for sharing.Robert.

Nice multi machine. One thought I had was to us a splitter as a winch. One could mount a stub of pipe to wrap rope either on the cylinder rod or on the frame. One could cycle the cylinder and take up the slack on the backstroke. Kind of like how a capstan works. If it is mounted on the three point hitch of a tractor endwise with traction legs it would still be quite compact. I have a splitter and am thinking of doing this modification.

Your design opens up endless applications; Cider Press, Compressed Earth Block (CEB) for House building, fence stretcher, fuel pellets / cakes of virtually Any size or composition, one I have thought of, food blocks like salt blocks made of leaves and twigs for feeding goats in winter, think hay bales for goats, 50 lb protein blocks like salt blocks. Instead of feed cubes for horses, 1 " diameter, make them one foot diameter, round or square... it is almost scary the possibilities enabled by such a genius design. Thank you. I know most fabricators can look at it and figure it out, but you could sell or give away plans to help folks. I hate to think what you would need as a retail price to market those effectively... why not sell the design to a reliable, trustworthy, manufacturer? Right! okay that was a dumb question Maybe.. Anyways...Kudos!!!

I love the idea to make it take up less space in the garage. Gave me a thought, I'm going to look at my old 20 ton Huskee and see if I can figure out a way to make the hitch detachable so I can make better use of the shop space. If I stand the beam up I still have the hitch sticking out in the way. It would be nice to open more space in the shop. I like your splitter, great ideas and looks like you really know what your doing, Iv seen store bought splitters that didn't look that well built. You set the bar high. I'd love to build a custom splitter, for now Iv just been adding modifications to my Huskee. Hopefully one day I will have some free time to see what I can build from the ground up. You have already given me some great ideas. The only thing that looks odd to me is the rack on the engine side, what's the purpose of the way its built. It looks bulky. I built one for my Huskee that you can check out in my video. I designed it after doing a lot of splitting. I wanted logs to fall into it and not roll over so I put a high back on it. Please explain your. I'd like to understand.

A piece of square tubing mounted above the wedge area, and a piston that quick attaches to the ram....HEY PRESTO! a super duper can crusher/compactor!

Now you got to make a log lifter attachment that will lift the BIG logs up onto the bed hydraulically . I made mine with curved arms near the ground but a flat area up near the splitter so you can keep the split half close by while you work the piece that was originally split off . No need to pick up anything after it is split . The only thing that might cause problems for you is that it is made longitudinally which could cause the splitter to tip over if you got a big enough of a log on the lift . But i'm shure you would figure that out .

Very elaborate, and some nice features, but the wood splitter needs to be convertible from horizontal to vertical so you don't need to lift heavy logs 3 feet to split them. Once the logs get over 24 inches in diameter, they become nearly impossible to lift. I like the 2 stage wedge - I may just modify the wedge on the splitter I have to utilize that principle.
