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.

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.
