Since I had so many comments on my splitter in my other thread, I figured I should make a splitter thread.
I have no idea what year this thing is. It is a LaFont SS-500. It has a 23HP Kohler engine and I'm not sure about the pump (I couldn't find any numbers on it). The wedge is removable and we have a couple different versions. This thing will take logs close to 30" long. It actually belongs to my in-laws, but I have constant access to it as we are only 15 minutes from their house and my wood is actually stacked about 300 yards from their house.
Here's a couple photos.
And here's a few videos of it in action.
1) A narly chuck of hard maple: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v697/ikessky/?action=view¤t=HardMaple.mp4
2) A piece of white ash (commentary by my daughter): http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v697/ikessky/?action=view¤t=Ash1.mp4
3) Another chunk of white ash (a little bit knotty): http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v697/ikessky/?action=view¤t=Ash2.mp4
