Woodcutter's train

Re: Woodcutter\'s train

That's a nice looking log splitter. Did you build that yourself? I'm in the process of assembling components to build one. I am wondering how to set up the axle, I-beam, center of gravity, and tongue weight.

It would be great if you could take a few more photos showing a few more views. I'm very curious how others have done it.

Yes my dad and I built it when cutting wood was the "in" thing back in the early eighties.The motor is new this year, a briggs 9 horse vangaurd hooked to a barnes 16 gpm 2 stage pump powering a 5X30 splitter ram and an old loader cyl. for the lift. I don't have access to my camera for a week or so but I will post more pics when I can.
