New person to log splitting need some help

[alsayyed]

 
Hello friend I am interested in building a log splitter I was searching the internet but do not know  what I need. I have the Honda motor no problem but I am very sure there are some kits like ram jack and pumps, so need some help to what do I need so when I order I should order correct parts. Oh by the way the shaft of the motor is 1" inch.
I appreciated your help.

knowing the Horsepower of your engine would help folks recommend other components to match that size.

I am more curious to know what you will use this log splitter for?  I cant find a single tree in Qatar.




 

Just Sand!

yes just sand this is true, but sometimes i get logs from farms and sometimes from roads like municipality when they will construct new road so they remove all the trees in that road sometimes gets around 100 trees. when I do my milling logs i have extra pieces, i would like to use them for winter camping starting November and ends March it dose get cold, but not cold like whee you live. dose not go below  minus . i will check on the generator or the motor but i think it is 16 hp.
hopefully you got the reason why i need log splutter for know.

For some of you that haven't been around here for long, alsayyed bought a sawmill years back (a Norwood, I believe) and posted pictures of some of the lumber he sawed out of native species in Qatar. I think @LeeB went and visited him while working over there if I remember right. So I'm sure he has a use for a log splitter if he wants to put one together👍 Alsayyed, I have seen some component kits (hydraulic cylinder, valve, and pump) I think they are Chinese manufactured and I don't know the quality, or availability where you are. I think the one company was called "Tool Tuff Direct", I'll do a bit of checking.

Hello Alsayyed. Eid Mubarak. Glad to see you are still involved in your wood hobby. I see the pictures from our visit often and wonder about you.

I have no idea on the quality of these parts, it'a just a kit I came across. Hope it helps.

That pretty cool that you work in wood in such an area of the world.  Awesome!

The store a lot of people in my area use is :

I have also included the log splitter search in that one.

I have the concentric 22 gpm knockoff and find it worked well on my 15 hp.
