I've been researching building my own splitter for a few weeks now. I have the ability to do the fabrication, that is not a problem. A company named splitez seems to have the best kits to build your own, but a complete kit from them to build a 35 ton spitter (with honda motor), 5" cylinder etc everything except the steel to build the frame and mail beam rail is still around $2350, so $3000.00 before I'm finished and I have to build it.
I've considered building one and just running it off of the tractor's hydraulics, this would be WAY less expensive to build, but then I'd have to run a 100hp tractor to split wood and that seems a bit ridiculous. Or I could build one with a PTO pump and run it off my ford 3600, but then we are getting up in dollars again to make it as big as I want. Those pto pumps are pricey.
SO.... my question is has anybody used the Tractor Supply sold Huskee 35 ton splitter? My only real fear of it is that the main beam looks a little light. For something that is all ready complete and comes with a warranty, for $1800.00 it is starting to look like the deal.

It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
