    I dig it...needs a 6 way on the horizontal though. Mine had a 4 cyl Wisconsin on it before I put the 5 hp electric on it. With a 16 gpm pump, it was a pig on gas unless you ran it slow and then the cycle time sucked.

    It is interesting but I still think adding a log lift & out feed table to a dedicated horizontal splitter makes my back happier! :whistle:

    That seems like a lot of money for a splitter unless you are making money with it. Tough machine that looks like even the gnarly wood couldn't slow it down.

    The guy sure put a lot of work into the build.
    Looks like it would work really well.

    Way to much machine for my needs ,
    but appreciate the craftsmanship.
