3 years ago I wanted this builder to make me a splitter. He bought a new place and had to build a new shop and being a family man was unable to start building splitters again. I struggled along satisfactorily with a 22 Ton Fast cycle Iron and Oak Commercial unit. It was OK but this one is something special. It has a # of features: Folding log table to save about 20" of space Folding tongue to save about 30" of space 30" stroke with a limiter to whatever you want it to be. For example if running 16", stop stroke at 19". The hydro filter is the same one that goes on JD giant fertilizer machines and is rated for 125 GPM. The assembling goes all to the bottom of the tank and goes through a diffuser. The tank has two more sets of baffles that the fluid has to draw from the bottom. (heat rises) Special dump valves to increase flow on return to around 50 GPM Handles interestate speeds Tons of storage Made by Alex of A.E.

After seeing his work in the past, it was the only builder that was making something way better than the Iron and Oak Commercial I had.
Looks very well built and it looks like you have a lot of work for it. I like the big tank with sight glass and the hose routing. Looks like he put a lot of thought into it. Honda engine is tops too.
I can't explain it real well, but 5" x 3.5" rod, with some extra plumbing and dump valve. The builder says it is running over 50GPM on return stroke. The thing that really speeds up cycle time though is the stroke limiter. You set the pusher to only go back as far as it needs to be rather than the full 30".
There is a LOT more than meets the eye. The in tank filter is what John Deere uses on the very large industrial giant tired fertilizer spreaders. It is rated at 125GPM. The assembly goes to the bottom of the tank to a diffuser. The tank has 2 baffles and the fluid has to go under the baffle to get to the next chamber. Of course heat rises. This really slows the time it takes to get to the end of the tank where the suction line is, of course on the bottom of the tank.
