Love the looks of that splitter.. Looks awesome. I am glad it works great for you. That has to make you proud... Built with your own 2 hands.

Very cool stuff. Honda engines are really hard to beat on reliability- when I buy equipment I look for them.

Thanks guys!
I have about $1000.00 - $1200.00 in this splitter.
I will not go into build vs. buy that has been beaten to death, but i had the steel, axle, wheels and tires.
Went with the Honda GX200 and a 13.6 pump. With a 24" travel in and out time is about 11 seconds.
Most wood i split is about 16-18" so i save a few seconds by not running the ram completely in.
If it were any faster i could not keep up.
Its all good.
