Hey Harley, sounds like you've got a splitter like I'm wanting to make before this winter gets here to handle some of the stuff I aquired recently. If you want to see a really good splitter though you ought to see the one one of our customers made for his business. He sells firewood to alot of BBQ houses as well as individuals plus sells logs to furniture mfgs, etc for veneers. In short he goes through alot of wood. To get the larger straight stuff for the venner makers he has to take the parts where the trees branch out also. Problem is their too big for his processer to handle "as is". So he made himself a splitter to handle make the junk into pieces small enough for his processer to handle. It's been awhile since I saw it and I didn't take exact measurements but best I can remember he began by using something like a 36 inch I beam with around an 18 inch flange. To that he attached a wedge that's nearly 3 feet tall, and a pusher plate to match. To provide power he uses a hydraulic unit with a 4 cylinder Ford diesel driving it and putting out around 25 GPM though I don't have a clue what pressure he's running. Behind the plate he used two cylinders that I believe were 6 inch with around a 12 foot stroke........It's one mean splitter and it really proves your theory, 'More power is definately gooder........'
