  • Stocking up for winter

    With winter rapidly bearing down on us I decided I better get the firewood shed filled so my daughter and myself went up to my dads farm and got stuck into the firewood! She enjoyed working the log splitter



    The log splitter is home made as you may be able to tell! And it has split ALOT of wood as I sell firewood through the winter as a side earner for the landscaping!

      I think that was some spruce but I was working a mixture of stuff.

      My friend Kyle runs his splitter on a JCB beaver power pack as he does not have a tractor. It seems to work well, he has videos on if on YouTube under k.w firewood I think.

        I've got a 9 gal a min pump but I'm looking for a handy two or three cylinder diesel engine to run it. going to use electric solenoids for the directional control so as I can put in an automatic return.
