Hydraulic Log Splitter BUILD Part 1 - Steel Frame Fabrication & Sourcing Parts
Building a hydraulic wood splitter from scratch. Recycling an old log splitter for parts like hydraulic hoses and connectors. The old hydraulic cylinder and valve block leak and seem to need thorough repair and are not worthy of use. Thus using new hydraulic cylinder and valve block. Harvesting all the old hydraulic hoses and fittings that seem to be in usable condition. Fabricating the steel frame from scratch to my personal liking and keeping in mind that I can use the big square tube also as an oil reservoir if a dedicated hydraulic system on-board the wood splitter is needed. The temporary hydraulic power pack will be replaced either with a tractor or as previously mentioned - dedicated and more powerful hydraulic system. Both the cylinder and valve block are subjects to change, if needed. The splitter will have wheels, tow bar, hydraulically adjustable 2-, 4- and 6-way wedge and a log loading deck. I want to get this built in a few weeks and already needed to use it yesterday! Stay tuned for a few more parts in this small series. And finally, I hope, I can use both the 4x4 timber trailer with hydraulic crane and this hydraulic splitter together in a video. And let's not forget the homemade UTV.
