wood zilla

I also turn mine around backwards so its stays hooked to the truck , but u can load wood still .

HOOKED TO THE TRUCK ... with the talents you show here build a second unit and add it to the splitter ... like an articulating drivable unit and just drive it to the woods ... have a dump bed on it as well ...

Nice job.

Lol you know a guy stopped by the shop just last week and asked where the steering axle was going to go .. as a joke ... can u imagine going to the bmv and getting plates . Thanks for the compliment...

Looks cool! I'm curious what size chain will be used on that pump drive?

What kind of pressure and GPM's are you getting out of your pump?

Also, what kind of cycle time do you estimate?

I, too, vote for some video once the 'beast' is alive and devouring all of those defenseless wood chunks.

tell you the truth Idk . Fast I hope . I am having trouble finding info on my pump its a commercial intertec for a hyster forklift its old but in new shape and I have a spare so I hope it works . I am shooting for 2200 psi and 24 gpm . I will definitely have video and pics and a party when its done . It's gotten pushed back a few more days this week as I am doing a large clearing job , but I'll have a lot of large rounds to split .. I am shooting for November 2010 . Working on the wiring harness and a few odds and ends.

I don't get it. Where's the 'over-built/over-kill part? That looks GREAT!!

Is there anything in the rear end on the axle? Just hook a little hydraulic motor to it and weld the front end of an old beater bike to whichever end is going to be most stable. Add a 2" receiver to the other side and you could easily pull a half cord with it. Shoot, get tricky and build a little clamshell bed hinged on the back that you can fold up to cover the splitter and fold down to haul your spoils. Tack on a cylinder and make it a dumper.

We can come up with plenty of ways to spend your time and money, as long as you keep posting pics.

Wow they are set up to handle the big stuff. That would be cool , but that takes a lot of equipment and man power neither of which I have. I also like to split away from the house and leave the mess there . This is only my 4 season for wood so I am still learning .
