As usual, it was welded from scrap metal. Just didn’t have the motivation to square it up and trim it perfect. Splitter already had threaded spots for bolt to bolt on. Had some help from my smallest boy.

    Nice to have a helper. Function over form; pretty doesn't make it work any better.

    Nice work! Can you reach the on off switch still from the business side of the splitter?

    Excellent. That would be my concern, as I usually reach over and shut it off between loads, then will reach over and pull start it again from the other side of the axle.
