Making Hydraulic Log Splitter
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 окт 2021
- I used three hydraulic cylinders to build the hydraulic log splitter. Two smaller cylinders drive the knife and the wood feeder, the largest hydraulic cylinder splits wood. Everything is connected to two hydraulic distributors, a single-section distributor designed for log splitter, and a universal two-section distributor. For two smaller hydraulic cylinders I had to install valves to slow them down because they were moving out too fast. The valves make the pump heavily loaded but the cylinders work slower. I connected the whole machine to the hydraulic power pack I made in the previous video.
Thanks to the feeder and adjustable blade the work is very fast and not tiring, the splitter has a lot of power and can handle the hardest wood without any problem

Great work!
Going on the amount of stuff that is being made from scratch, the scratch supply industry must be doing a roaring trade.
Also, I agree w Shunta Wolf below: plans and exact measurements of the different components would be really cool! Also might be interesting to have you voice over your problem-solving thoughts. Maybe you could just voice-over the measurements as you make it or print them on screen? This would not only help the viewers, but allow us to engage w you more on possible design ideas.
Beautiful machine and great craftsmanship, but I was surprised to see no grease fittings at all
Personally I would've put the pump system on it permanently, but hey I can't even afford most of the tools so...
Great build. I would say some of it is over built, so just perfect, no such thing as over built! I bought a 25 ton splitter years ago when I heated with wood. Broke it in a week and had to beef up several things. I absolutely love the power pack. Much better with 1 machine and motor to keep running to do multiple things. Plus if it's used more it stays running and doesn't sit around and rot. Thanks for sharing.
I've seen a lot of home-made log splitters out there, but this is probably the only one I wouldn't be terrified to use. Fantastic work as always.
Ben a fabricator & certified welder most of my life . I have worked on fast attack subs , carriers , destroyers ,and tug boats plus lot of time in fab shops . I like your work ,very impressive , you should be proud of yourself .
And now pick it all up from the ground, and handle it again!
Love the fact you can hardly hear the background music. Great build. 👍😎
Исполнение как всегда выше всех похвал.
I made a Hydraulic Log Splitter 2009
A couple of welding "knots" /bumps on the pushing plate to prevent the wood to slip off from it.
A very nice build. I built something similar that goes on a tractor 3 point linkage when I was 16. Mine has a 11 tonnes force ram. I am now 60 and gave it a slight overhaul last year. Like you, I originally had the split logs falling to the ground. My only improvement was to have flat steel tables at the spitting height either side of the splitting blade to save having to bend down to pick up fallen split logs. You could still add to yours if you wanted? Many thanks for sharing your build with us. Greetings from the UK.
That's not a log splitter, its a work of art. Amazing job!
I remember the days dealing with one of these.. now i sit in a skid loader and split wood. Nice build tho.
This guy is an amazing mechanic and welder. Impressed!
very nice job, I think if I was going to add anything it would be to run a table out the length of your hitch to catch the wood and keep it up where it is easier to grab and throw in the wagon rather than to have to bend over and pick it out from around your jack stand. It could be hinged too to swing up out of the way when travelling.
VERY, VERY NICE.!!
Some People have Way too Much Talent ... Very robust and useful log splitter ,,,
