I finally bought a Ramsplitter after wanting one since 2007. This is the 20-ton horizontal model with the 2HP motor wired for 230V. Mine was customized by Doug at Ramsplitter by raising the height up a few inches. Today I finished building a table.

I've thrown a few gnarly logs at it and nothing has stopped it yet! It rolls in and out of my garage and across my gravel driveway very easy. I'm happy with it!

I'll make this pile of mixed logs (oak, poplar, maple) go away soon :p

Must be an optical thing. They look longer than they must be.
 
I also have a Ramsplitter (little older).

Congrats on the new Ramsplitter. You'll get many years of good service from it. There's not much that will stop it.

We have the 16-ton electric version, it's been a good one. Sits close to the ground so I park it on a pair of car ramps and a cinder block to raise it to a comfy working height.
 
Good stuff. Congrats man!

Yes, Fred, I looked at your pictures many times. Thanks for posting those. I recall seeing yours lifted up which helped me realize I wanted mine raised up too.
