@jstrunck Thanks! This turned out to be an easy project that anyone should be able to fab up. The hydro is all off the shelf from Orschelens or TSC/Rural King.
Nicely done and great detail in the text. Thank you. I want to add a lifter to my splitter too and this info is very helpful. Nice of you to provide all of the tech data....
@skyypilot01 Hey, good luck to you!!! One thing I should add that was a mistake was the wedge extension. I did that to help slice those pesky strings on say, a 2' diameter elm. Well, we all know about levers after physics 101, so I'm not surprised but when I got into 2' wood the leverage is tremendous and I had to cut off the wedge and put a rearward taper on the remaining 3" of wedge.
Good job on the Log splitter/jack project!
