    Thanks for the video and the ideas! I have a 32T Ariens which is a great 2 stage splitter but has the blade on the ram which has always bothered me. When the snow flies I'll bring it in the barn and get to work making your mods.

    Very good alteration. Having split a lot of firewood over th last 50 years and have a processor, saw, splitter etc. may I tentivly suugest, the machine is repositioned so you do not have to walk round it every time a couple of logs are loaded and the "taker" off person waits until the next split logs come through. then she does not have to struggle with the nearly split bits. The machine pushes them out. Well done with the four way. you could of course make a 6 way if your logs get any larger.

Your unit is nice & strong, looks great! Love that manual 'stair-step' notch position design for 2 or 4 way splits. Very clever! You are very handy & innovative! Great video! Stay safe.

    Pretty good man, 👍 i like the manual hieght adjust for the 4 way, is there a way to lock the handle into place? Like with a clip pin from a trailer hitch? If u accidently bump handle with a round or lean on it wrong, could some one get some fingers pinched? Like if it released the wedge an it dropped? Just wondering, good welding

    You maybe should have asked your helpful friendly neighbor if he would prefer the new one or not. He probably would have said no. The way I think these days is everything is being built with less or no pride at all. People cutting corners and having no respect for others or themselves.

    @BGWenterprises 7 месяцев назад

    Cant tell from the sped up video.
    The real rpms the engines turning at.
    But i ganed a good bit of speed going from a old flat head Briggs engine turning about 3,000rpm.
    To a more modern ohv engine turning about 3,600rpm
    Took the round trip of ram from around a 18 second trip to a 14 second round trip.
    .
    One side affect is fluid heat. It doesn't get over the point thats bad for hydraulics, but it gets above the temperature that you can safely touch.
