I may well of missed the boat on this but does anyone know of a log splitter that would work off of a beaver pack
mine arrived Tuesday 'fore Christmas ..... got to try it this week .... very good .... destroyed a very gnarly, knotty piece of oak in secondsI may well of missed the boat on this but does anyone know of a log splitter that would work off of a beaver pack
Does you 216 have detent mode on aux line? If it does run splitter off diggerDead slow will do Not something I’ll use a lot just handy to have I’ll get looking on fleabay!
I looked at all sorts on Fleabay/FB marketplace and for the money folks wanted for s/hand units ... a bit more got me this shiny, well made new one. Quality job ... nice design, well assembled, lovely welding on it, all spanking new and will outlast me ... and still be worth seriously good money 'ad infinitum' .... highly recommendedDead slow will do Not something I’ll use a lot just handy to have I’ll get looking on fleabay!

Shane, who did mine said he could fit an auto return valve for an extra forty (IIRC) quid .. but ...If you can find one with auto return it means you can be sorting the next log ready as the splitter retracts speeding the job up a bit
And an adjustable table means the splitter doesn't have to travel before hitting the log to be split
Although this can be achieved with a stack of logs and just split the top one each time
I fitted an auto kickout valve to mine and use a couple of scaffold girder clamps to stop the return. Set the kickout valve to it's minimum setting but still broke the ram bolt after a while (only M10) so changed to a 12.9 and we'll see how we go.Shane, who did mine said he could fit an auto return valve for an extra forty (IIRC) quid .. but ...
IMHDO, it's better off controlling the return to where you want it, rather than having to go full stroke each time, so I stuck with non-auto / manual valve ...
saves on a lot of wasted ram travel .....
the table's big enough to have several lumps ready to go and once you've split and stacked/bagged/removed them from the table, can fill it again ....
no real quick way of 'racking it up' ... other than a second pair of hands ...
what you save in time with auto return, you'll lose in waiting on the full strokes to split.
can well see Pam lending a hand with this in future, as there's little effort involved, other than sliding blocks into place and pressing a lever, 'fore bagging/boxing up the 'manageable' results
I'd better give the maul its 'gold watch'
didn't want a 'looong' splitter Doob .... our Morso's a small hearth so won't be cutting anything longer than 12"and didn't need anything with a lot of daylightI fitted an auto kickout valve to mine and use a couple of scaffold girder clamps to stop the return. Set the kickout valve to it's minimum setting but still broke the ram bolt after a while (only M10) so changed to a 12.9 and we'll see how we go.
Why didn't you think of that, Druid?

Is yours operated with 2 hands Graham
It’s funny really, as they are all largely made to be easily bypassed to allow single-handed operation (but that is obviously a total hse no-no.)UK EU CE ones have to be two hands on the controls to comply.
in theory Dylan ..... slight adjustment for the 'experienced op.'Is yours operated with 2 hands Graham
