Well, hopefully this works. Added 1/2" thick side plates to the beam, increased the width of the push plate and raised the level of the loading...
Ever see this? [MEDIA]
What I need is a formula to tell me if I have a full cord in my dumptruck without having to stack it to measure it....
Is it just me? I can't see any of Felter's pictures...
My long term plan is to have split wood fall onto a conveyor so for me it was essential to have the cylinder pushing the push plate.

I hope so... :confused:
I'll be welding it this time. I will add gussets
Well, I think my buddy and I managed to straighten the end of the shaft. It's pretty darn close if not perfect. It took a lot of heat to move it...
Yah, but I have to work with what I have...
Ah, I get what you're saying now!
Thanks! I "weld" but not as good as you do!
There is a hole in the end for the bolt...?
That's what I was afraid of. I could cut the end and weld on a new attachment....
It's just the end as far as I can tell. I think I'm going to widen the push plate so it goes to the edge of the beam. I picked up some 1/2" thick...
No it isn't... Thanks Lyle! I'll figure it out... I'm going to try to straighten/reuse this one first. Another cylinder of this size is around...
