I have to share this splitter, as I've never seen them before, and just ran across them.

I was at a truck safety course put on by the state forestry program last week.  It was at a sawmill and the man had this splitter there.

We were amazed at the build quality of this machine.  They are built like a tank.  Very good ideas.  If things go well I might consider getting one end of summer.  Anyone ever use them?

They are made in PA, run about 9-10k.

Wow! Nice splitter. Love the adjustable wedge splitter and removable push plate.

I thought the video had stopped but then realized that the splitter was still moving. At that price I think one of the things I should be saying is that it's fast.

Hmm, I didn't think it was any slower than any other hydro splitter I've seen given the size of the wood and the gnarly piece they ran through it.  Nice to see real world wood, instead of straight grain Ash.  Interesting.

You can get a 20HP too, maybe that would help.

I like the wings, the removable push plate, and the wedge configuration.  Was built heavy too.

Yes well built, a larger engine and pump would speed it up. It is nice to see real would being split.
