Don't know if this has been posted before but thought it was pretty neat.

Now that is awesome. It would be hard to justify that as I live in fla, and my airconditioner dosent run on firewood. LOL but that is just too cool.

Wow, even the wife wants one. (She's the one that ends up running the log splitter while I cut and haul the firewood to it).

It's nice to see American ingenuity is alive and well, even if our companies aren't. That's got to beat hucking the logs up onto a traditional splitter.

The market wold be too narrow for a company to start building those IMO. They are neater than cat sh*t if you have the BH to put it on.

Thats awsome, Are they actualy for sale or is that a one of a kind attachment? I would love to get that on the back of my komatsu 146 backhoe.

This was made using a Northern Tool woodsplitter and a few modifications here and there.

Man, someone beat me to that. I've been putting off that project for 2 years now. I was going to mount it the long way, but after seeing this I think it's better mounted sideways. I guess I know it'll work though.

I wonder how it would work to replace the bucket with a blade and split against a thumb. Obviously the force would be a fraction of what you get from a 4" splitter cylinder but most logs don't require that much force. Might be handy for pruning, root grubbing too.
