Anybody have an old lazy horse eating grass down the bottom field, why not get him working to earn his keep?

I've seen it all now.:D:D

Thanks for that vid, made me laugh. The beauty about that is the speed of it. 5 times faster than a hydraulic splitter lol.

Wow. That is brilliant!
If fuel prices keep going the way they are, we'll all be making up machines like this.
I wonder what sort of pressure a machine like this produces, and how?

He is only splitting timber slabs ( these are the outside timber that comes off trees) anything would split these, I like to see it splitting a bit of knotty oak or ash that was cut for a month

Just making the youtube clips a little more easily accessible. It would be interesting to find out how it works all right and if it's capable of splitting the bigger knottier hardwoods.

Front view with bigger logs, shame your man is blocking the view of the log being split!
