I’m a production man, when I set out to do something I want it done fast and efficient.. here’s some mods I done to my spliter over the years.. 1-welded a hook on the back side of the ram, every once in a while I’ll get a piece of wood stuck on the wedge.. not so much any more because I got a higher horse power motor.. but if it does happen I hook a chain to the hook and than around the wood. Than simply pull the ram back.. it pulls the wood off the wedge. 2- welded a u bolt to the spliter so if I get a stringy piece of wood I just grab my hatchet and cut the wood with it.. instead of pulling it apart with my hands. 3- welded angle iron on my hydraulic arm so on the wet frosty morning, when I’m loading the arm the chunks of wood arnt sliding off and i have to pick them up again.. You guys got any tips.
Again, welcome!! I got no tips for you. Sounds like you’ve been at this game a lot longer than I have. And from the size of the piles in your pics I’ll probably be learning a thing or two from you.
Sounds like you could give some tips to members here bulldozerjoe from the looks of your mound of splits, production is your thing.
Use a pickeroon too. That will help with less bending over. You're well on your way. Work smarter, not harder
