View attachment 40277 Started by making a H/V splitter with 6.5 hp briggs with 13 gpm pump, 4"x 24" cylinder off of ford backhoe. Hated splitting vertically as it killed my back but could not get the bigger ones on beam when horizontal. Time for a redo.

Ended up with horizontal only with a boom as axle would be in the way of hydraulic tray type log lift. Most of the steel I scrounged. Had to buy valve (from surplus center I believe) pump and lovejoy coupler, engine adapter, guage, filter, intake screen ,etc came from Northern tool. 9 hp Honda on it now is from craigslist, 75 bucks. I still easily have 1,000 dollars in it but I don't know where to buy one like it. I'm running mine at 2,500 psi currently.
