    Looks like you could build another shorter table on the opposite valve side also. Very handy with the wedge on the cylinder operating horizontal vs the opposite.
    No one ever thinks about the "work" involved in pulling the splits back the stroke of the cylinder (for those without a 4 way wedge) for additional splitting. :thumbs:

    Yep anyone with a H/V box store type splitter has done that a few times. That mod should work great.

    Not a splitter mod but it sure saves my back.

    A follow-up to this stroke limiter post. That white rope only lasts about an hour then breaks. But overall worked well.

    Oh, here's another "mod"
    Simple but catches all the splitter trash and bark/ debris that ends up in the grass.

    Barrel halfs were too slippy and awkward, so Had to add rope handles to drag/lift the full barrels.:handshake:

    I just flip the gate down on the atv trailer and drag the barrels on then run up the mountain and dump the junk in a hole on a path somewhere. The junk is great for drying up a muddy ditch across a trail.
