I felt I HAD to do a vid about this wonderful machine! How the hell I've managed without one for so long, gawd only knows. I'm not a pro and certainly not a proper woodman (ain't it obvious?) - just a punter that's chuffed to bits with this great bit of kit! Watch me babbling on about it at: youtu.be/E4TS0TezJWU
Assembly required.
The total weight for this machine is approximately 650 lbs. The majority of that weight is in the hydraulic cylinder and log cradle. My son and I could barely move this, moving it a foot or two at a time.
Small tunnel in Cottage Grove Oregon....on the way from Eugene to Reedsport for a quick trip down the coast.
My Dad built this contraption while I was away in the Air Force. Bet he never dreamed I'd still be using it thirty years later.

One last hero shot of the little table (no idea where we're putting it) and the big log pile. As much wood as that is (days and days of splitting work), this pile is about 1/4 what it's been in the past, maybe even less. This used to be quite a regular summer/autumn chore. I can't say I miss those days, though I wish I had been into finer woodworking back then.
While reprising one of my roles in a very minor way this holiday visit (moved about 100-150 logs from one rack to 3 right by the house - about 15-20 trips with a wheelbarrow), I had a lot more fun than I ever did as a younger man. I found some really neat wood I wanted to resaw into rough planks on the bandsaw, surface on the jointer that I hope to get soon, plane parallel and to thickness in my thickness planer, edge on the aforementioned dream jointer, rip parallel on the circular saw table, and trim to length for neat edges with my miter saw. For whatever reason, I'm fascinated by the process of taking a log and making perfect little planks with which to build quality bits of woodcraft.
In many ways, I wish I still lived back home with my folks in this paradise, or at least very nearby. I'd have a lot of fun cleaning up fallen trees, and turning a little profit while enhancing my woodworking skills from the ground up. Mom's amazing cooking is another prime reason this decision ways heavy on my mind :)

Occasionally through the winter months, we need to stir the tanks on the machinery about the place in order to keep the fluids moving and such.
Sometimes upon waking from their slumber, the mechanical beasts will billow plumes of protest as the above Tecumseh splitter engine did.
Besides helping put things away on the campground, the Boy Scouts helped clean up the pile pile of logs. The grownup supervisors ran the log splitters, while the boys hauled off the firewood and stacked it here.

Here's a shot of the rusty old workhorse of a splitter, dwarfed a bit by the log pile in front of it. We lift logs up onto the narrow bed between blade and hydraulic ram, then hold them in place with a hand on top while pulling the long lever (metal rod with a ball knob screwed on the end) up to slowly press the log through the blade, splitting it. We drop half into a wheelbarrow as they fall, then wheel it over to the house, about 100-150 yards away. Alternately, we'll drop them into a wagon behind a tractor if we want to get a lot of logs per trip, and this cuts down on the back-and-forth trip count.
not the best picture, but i like how someone has modified it with a bungee cord and the bottom of a can.
