I have always wanted a 3pt hitch logsplitter, but learned long ago when I bought my 8n that it did not have the output to run one.
Recently I had a couple shoulders done and have been forbidden to lift a splitting maul, even for small stuff. That has me wondering again whether it might be possible to make a small, simple 3pt splitter able to run off the 8n's hydraulic system. It wouldn't have to be much, just big enough for splitting kindling and occasionally resplitting splits too big to fit into the stove, I've got a couple old 3" and 3-1/2" cylinders lying around I could be used.
If it didn't work I figure I could go to phase 2, and add a basic live hydraulic conversion like Zane's or Hokies. though I am not clear as to whether these would have enough umph either.
I know it would be cheaper and more sensible to just buy a gas- engined trailer splitter, but I really hate the thought of another nasty little engine, and want something handier in the woods.
