Reply:Are you going to make a two way splitter or one way?
Reply:Are you going to make it so you can roll it up over the logs needing to be split while they are on the ground  ?or are you going to have to pick up each and every one of those heavy logs in order to let the machine make them into light smaller pieces of wood ?Weldandpower Lincoln 225 AC,DC with Briggs 16hp gas engine.WW2 era Miller TIG.
Reply:One way splitter horizontal model. I have my son roll the chunks off the trailer directly to the splitter, no need to make it a vertical or handle the logs again.
Reply:Good work Moose. Very nice configuration, really it will going to be an efficient machine. But one thing I wanna suggest is if you can drop its price then it would definitely going to be among the most usable machine. _______________Log Splitter Ireland
