Thread: Advice on towable log splitter

I have been holding myself back commenting!
I'm on my 3rd horizontal splitter and this will be the last.
First one was a brent Smith 13hp.
I have pretty well much copied but improved with bigger bench and longer tow bar for ease of backing.
I'm running an American 22gpm pump prince control valve and on its third motor.
It is paired to the perfect sized ram for speed and power, the same size as the brent smith which has a large spear for quick return.
I have never worried about a lifter as my stihl Chainsaws really rip well with out clogging so every thing gets made into at worst a two person lift.
I have used the verticals and safe they are fast they are not.
My three boys came out on a fund raiser firewood job and started on the flash vertical one.
Way to slow dad!
Got the trusty horizontal going.
We have a 5 cube caged tipper truck that we can fill with 2 people in an hour as we do quite a bit of commercial wood of the farm.
My dream would be that mahoe in the video as seen it at the fieldays for quite a few years.
Simple but good!
At 62 I think a bit of lifting and manual labour' won't kill me!
I might one day put a lifter on but you won't catch me turning into a vertical man!
