slf-uk 914 #2 Posted January 7, 2015 James, I will be very interested to know what you think about the quality of the kit. A while back I added the kit with this exact picture to my fleabay wish list as I thought about doing the same think. Thanks Iain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wallfish 698 #9 Posted January 7, 2015 Nice project! Can't wait to see what you do with it. I have a larger one ( The Stickler ) and thought about using a hydraulic motor to power it through a 25:1 gearbox and attaching it to the bucket of my backhoe. With the screw pointing down, the logs can be poked with the screw as they lay on the ground. No lifting or moving them by hand required until they are done being split. Then use the front loader to scoop and pile them up. Just another hairbrain project in my head which I have all the parts for but haven't done the work to put it together. 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
