Mr. Rob, what do you estimate your cycle time is with the PTO splitter?Another nice day here today, my wife said we should split this load of wood,
So off we go with the splitter to get rrr done, we saved most of the bigger rounds for last and this was the last one,
and we split it right into my half cord boxes,
That wagon load made just under two cords boxed splits...

If the splitter is plugged into the tractor's remotes, they can be slow, but mine is self-contained and has a hydraulic pump on the pto shaft.That's pretty good...I saw one at an auction this last weekend and thought of you.
I had heard that a PTO splitter was slow...but 10 secs at 1400 RPM sound pretty usable.
Is there a hydraulic tank on here that I am not seeing?If the splitter is plugged into the tractor's remotes, they can be slow, but mine is self-contained and has a hydraulic pump on the pto shaft.
That speeds things up quite a bit.

You can see it better in this pict.,Is there a hydraulic tank on here that I am not seeing?
Edit, maybe I see an orange/red tank on the back side of the cylinder.
I had a lightweight 3pth splitter which my father had made. I used the pump for my Cadplan backhoe to run it. It was only single stage so not really strong, but still better than a splitting maul.If the splitter is plugged into the tractor's remotes, they can be slow, but mine is self-contained and has a hydraulic pump on the pto shaft.
That speeds things up quite a bit.

I'm not sure any of us here are....(I'm not quite right am I)
