I'm in the process of adding a log lift to my splitter, would anyone have a photo they could post or email me of the hydraulic cyl. mount-linkage from a factory one?  Thanks, Mike

My log lift looks like a fat old man and I try not to get too many pics. However I do use the tractor on occasion with a scoop bucket on the 3 ph that raises it too the splitter if I can't do it. For a good idea try attending any trade show or even a dealer if you can't get to a trade show and study their method close up. Basically it should be very simple, just make sure the linkage for the cyl. is designed to use the full stroke or use a cyl. travel limiter so you don't over travel and break something accidentally.
