When I was in college in the 70s I worked for a man who had a Double A Ford truck that carried a tilt-up well pounding rig with a wedge where the hammer would be. When we got to the customer's site we would jack up the left rear and take the wheel off. A drum was bolted on to drive a 4 foot circle saw to cut up the wood. After cutting the wood a PTO was engaged to drive the well pounding rig in a verticle position. It cycled every 1.5 seconds and could split logs of just about any length but no more than 2 feet in diameter. As long as the log was placed on the up stroke there were no issues.
I suspect that the most of these machines will have trouble with oak or another hardwood and pieces full of burls, beach and willow you can split with a butterknife.
I have Looked on eBay trying to Find Gear Boxes that work on a Low Ratio But they are Nothing Like the Gear Boxes like the ones used I would like someone to Guide me in the Right direction Please to where I can obtain one
I am watching these machines with great interest however all I see them doing is splitting straight grain wood and short in length that could be split with a short axe.
Very true. Cool design on many of these splitters but won't split wood like eucalyptus with a tangled tough grain that will need to be sheered through the entire log.
What kind of gear boxes are these guys using? I have like everything I need to make the kind at 6ish minutes but have no clue about the gear box or ratios.
Сокира,або ніж,не правильно зроблено,маю на увазі ,з такої науки як фізика,якби було продумано по іншому ,то і не було би великого навантаження на робочі деталі,воно працювало би набагато легше,і відповідно був би довший термін експлуатації агрегату.
