Starting a new thread discussing changes made to our splitters to make them better for the individual using them.

So my Timberwolf TWP1 has been a great splitter but has some things I didn’t like.
First is too low. Though I had ran it up on ramps and that worked, it was also a bit of work to move it from place to place around my land.



So first thing is raising it. I went to my scrap yard and found a piece of square tube and started making a spacer block.



More to come.

Didier modification. 12 volt electric winch operates the log lift.

 

I have several videos on improvements I've made to my SuperSplit.

 

Other than upgrading to a Honda engine, I installed a jack at the front with a wheel to make it easier to move around in the garage. That sucker is heavy!
Or maybe I'm just getting older.

 

Your videos are cool, brother

 

I hear you. That’s next on the list. I needed to get the rear height set then put the front jack on like you describe.

We are lucky to have 2 splitters. The vertical is about 22 yrs old. We built a platform from 1 1/2" pipe and 2" angle iron. Really helps with big rounds. Slides easier onto the splitter foot.
The TSC 30 ton we leave horizontal, it's 3x faster. We have done several improvements to it.
Added angle iron braces to the table supports
Then added support legs under the table
Added 2 - 2×10×8 boards for ramps and a center support on the ramps
Then we added some flat bar to the foot, so the wedge will go through the round, really helps with stringy woods
Long bolts hold it on, added a U-bolt on the end
Makes a nice holder for the camp axe

 

Good one Jeff. I seem to spend countless hours bending over and picking up the hatchet or the pickaroon that vibrates off and falls from where I laid them.
And I plan on incorporating a cupholder!

 

Thank you sir. Appreciate it.

 

That pipe ploatform is the next mod for me.

 

I made a slip on piece to allow the wedge to go completely thru a stringy piece of wood. I only have one splitter and this one just lifts off easily if I have to run the splitter vertically.

 

Here is a splitter a friend wanted totally reconfigured. Started out as a 1 year old Dirty Hands splitter
After mods. Table style with full suspension ,log lift, and duel fuel, gas or propane.

 

Very similar to a walt-splitter. Got any more pics? Especially of the log lift?

 

The log lift is a simple cable and pulley from wedge to log cradle.
On the red splitter the cylinder is in the operating position.
On the black splitter the cylinder is in the travel position.

 

I installed the wheeled jack shortly after I got mine. Love the seat for vertical splitting!

 

Backwoods Savage has the patent on the milk crate seat and that's where I got the idea from.
But he's a very generous man and will let anyone copy it without financial gain.

Just giving credit where credit is due

 

Just a simple stroke limiter I did recently, every little bit helps
