Hi folks! I just picked up my new DHT 22 ton splitter the end of last week, but the 22s don't come with the log catcher. I really wanted to get some work done this weekend, so I came up with the following work-around.
These plastic saw horses that you can pick up from Home Depot are the perfect height. I am guessing that a lot of store bought saw horses are probably a great height for this application.
I had an old Oak desk top laying around that I set across the SHs to make the working surface. There are a couple of nice aspects of this set up; it fully protects the engine and vent cap, and it doesn't vibrate causing the logs to want to slid off the table. The only drawback is that it isn't as portable as an attached log catcher, but in my case it doesn't need to be THAT portable due to the size of my property.
The table height is perfect. I use the table top to hold logs to be split, and of course hold the large pieces that have been split once, but need to be resplit.
I was able to get a little bit stacked up over the weekend!
