WTD: Hydraulic set up
Wheels244 - 4/9/10 at 09:12 PM

I'm after a full hydraulic set up to make a log splitter with.

Hydraulic pump, control valve, tank, hoses, dual action ram, engine to drive the pump.

Has anybody got any or all of the above ?

Cash waiting.

Combined with a sledge hammer or the back of an axe.

Personally, id go for the full sized axe and split them the traditional way. Gives a good workout too.

I've got a splitting maul which I do enjoy using and as you say it is a good workout. However I've got over 20 tonne to split and I want to speed the process up a bit.
