Hydraulic Log Splitter BUILD Part 5 - FIRST TEST!
Building a hydraulic wood splitter from scratch. Getting the hydraulics connected for testing in this video. It looks super ugly and not tidy at all as far as hydraulic line routing goes but it works. Finally. After blowing up a couple of old rotten many decades old hoses whilst testing the hydraulic splitter. And yeah - entirely covered the workshop floor with old and new hydraulic fluid. What a mess! Fabricated the steel frame from scratch to my personal liking in previous videos. In this video I'm fabricating a slide for the split wood to be directed straight into a IBC (intermediate bulk container) crate. Due to the lack of power on the timber trailer hydraulic power pack maybe a dedicated hydraulic system on-board the wood splitter is needed. Both the cylinder and valve block are possibly subjects to change, if needed. The splitter has now wheels, hydraulically adjustable 2-& 4-way wedge and a log loading deck. I said I want to get this built in a few weeks and already needed to use it yesterday and as always I don't know what a deadline is. :) Stay tuned for a few more parts in this small series. And finally, I hope, I can use both the 4x4 timber trailer with hydraulic crane and this hydraulic splitter together in a video. And let's not forget the homemade UTV.
