Good work pulling up that video, RD.

I believe Skwishey has one of those splitters.

 

[arborworks1]

I couldn't recall who had mentioned it. I have alot of big rounds that I would like to make some quick work of.

I have a mini splitter .. he's almost 6 and it comes with a almost 3 year old stacker.. LOL Gawd I wish I could find that pic.. LMAO

 

[MasterBlaster]

Find it, LOL!

 

[arborworks1]

There you go. YOu just need one more crewman and you will be set!

Squishy did buy one, but not the hand control option. Check out these $7 bolts 1.25 X 7 & 6". They hold a 5 X 24" cylinder. this is the heaviest side mount mini I have made. It opened this 30" elm no problem

 

[tntree]

I shipped this one to Brian in Kansas, this ~ 40" oak was no problem

 

[arborworks1]

Dave
Are you making different size splitters?

I am not interested in hand valve option. I can add that later if I see the need.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

The mini splitter comes with a weed eater attachment
And a Grapple LMAO

 

[tntree]

Yeah working on several models,
24" 19 ton and 24 ton, I really like the enclosed cylinder model but so far I have only built one with a 3" cylinder pretty labor intensive design

 

[arborworks1]

Very versatile piece you have there. Runs on a 2 sugar sticks a day. 4 if production needs to ramped up!

 

[arborworks1]

What does the big splitter weigh?

 

[tntree]

Stringy Elm

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Works on Mountain dew..
Well sometimes biscuits and gravy in the AM.. LOL

And a Grapple LMAO

When he figures out that grappling is work and not fun, Sugar sticks turn to green backs

 

[tntree]

What does the big splitter weigh?

I am guessing 450#s

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Actually .. we pay him .. no allowance .. he earns his money and he is saving for a quad at 5 years of age .. figure..
We like to instill a work ethic early...
We also take him to certain jobs and he has earned 10.00 in a day from clients .. Some even hire him to dig holes ..
I hope the kids keep the ethic.. he's hoping
