Thank you scooter glad you liked it. I did have to re design the slide that runs on top of the i beam. I tried to lift a 2 1/2 foot 16 inch long round and the tubing bent letting it pop out. My Fix was to use 1/2 inch By 2 1/2 inch wide plate a 5/8 inch 10 in long square head bolt instead of the tubing. I then welded 2 5/16 pieces of keystock that runs along each side of the i beam and cut 2 pieces of the flat that would travel under top i beam keeping it from being able to raise up, the four 5/16 pieces work perfect because the flat top on the i beam is 1/4" so there is a slight clearance. Good luck if you build one not that hard feel free to call with questions.

Thanks JaciIIfor the comment.

Thank you Siskiyou I am glad you liked it. My old back loves it!

Woodsman its not hard at all the top of the tee trip is just getting it the right length

@@williammorris622 Yes I’ve already done it to mine. Have a shorts video showing it…thanks

Thanks for the post and kind words.

Thanks Andy for your comment. If you have a friend that can weld a little bit you probably could build if with a little help from someone. It's not really complicated 12 feet of 1 inch angle iron. and 40 inches of 5/8 inch of round stock 5ft. of 1/8x 2 inch x 1//8 thick flat stock. 2 pillow block 5/8 in hole self aligning from amazon about $15.00 dollars. 4ft of 1/2 inch all thread rod 8 1/2 in 8 nuts and instead of aluminum wheel chair ramp for the table use 5/8 in treated plywood.

Thank you Zoltan for the compliment It really did come out pretty good. It has worked out great for me with my bad back. Cuts out any lifting my back likes that. It isn't hard to build if you can weld a little not to much to buy. The pillow block bearings $14.00 on Amazon and the four 5/8 inch spacers with lock Allen screws I butted 2 spacers together close to each bearing so I could weld the round rods from the spacers to the bottom of the table and a 2 foot piece of I/8 inch cable is all I had to buy I had the angle iron for the frame and the aluminum table I had from an old scraped wheel chair ramp but you could use 3/4 inch treated plywood. I had enough 5/8 inch round stock to make the ram limiter. I chose the Champion mostly because of all the good reviews and I called champion and talked to the plant Foreman he answered all my questions nice people at Champion. Also it was on sale. Hope this helps in your splitter hunt. If you have any questions email me and I will try to answer them. William Morris

Thanks for the complement Tom.

Thanks Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Fldavestone I did have to beef up the table lifter I bent the pipe that operates the lifting of the table. I don't usually have big rounds to split but i had a Red Oak tree that was hit by lightning and it was dying and my grandson and i took it down . it had 2 and 1/2 foot rounds at 16 inches after cutting the tree up they weighed about 250 lbs or a little bit more. I replaced the travel lifter on the I beam to 3/16 inch thick and used a 5/8 inch rod welded to the travel lifter problem solved.

Thanks Derp for the comment glad you liked it.

Thank you for watching Video and your nice comment.

Thank you Machfrk

I had removed the big rack where the table is now I started to put in on the other side but it kept me a little too far out not as comfortable as the short one. Short one is turned up enough to keep larger rounds for going off toward me. Thanks for posting your comment Cody.

Thanks for watching an the reply.

Thanks for the kind words you might be right but what I like the most Orion is it saves my back and all the bending over lifting and dragging rounds over to the splitter.

@@williammorris622 I bet. I may have to copy your design. I'll be getting the Champion within a month or so.

Thanks for the comment jcnme2020

Thanks Isaac lots of people have requested how to info.

Cesar thanks for the comment. Looked at all the splitters across the internet and KZfaq checking the reviews Champion was at or near the top with people that have used it for several years on the reviews. I also called Champion and the employees were very nice. They answered the questions I had. They transferred me to the engineering dept. where I got the rest of my questions answered. Champion's warranty was at the top of the splitters reviewed. They also don't use automated phone service you call you talk to a Champion employee.HUGE+ There is a Australian company that builds the best Splitter I saw anywhere but the price is 5 times the price of the Champion. And add another $800.00 dollars shipping on top of that no way to justify that.

@@williammorris622 It's only my experience William and I am sure they have one off's that fail. I've had my 25 ton in the shop twice for over 3 months each time due to failures and parts not being available. The ram has been replaced once and the hydraulics were fixed another so it's been in the shop almost as half the time I have owned it. This is only my experience but I cannot recommend this product to anyone.

I understand how long have you had your splitter Cesar?

@@williammorris622 I've had it for 2 years. The first time it stopped working was at 6 months. The second time was around 1 1/2. I worked with Champion and they have amazing reps. I'm selling my champion and getting a Wolfe Ridge. Its about to arrive... I hope you have a great day and thank you for the great video. Good luck with that splitter.

No the table only goes down when you pull the spring trip on the operator's side. When you lift a piece to split the spring trip latch snaps out as the bottom pushes the latch piece back and as soon as the bottom of the table passes trip latch it snaps out and you push splitting ram forward the table sits on the latch and stays level while you split the wood. Thanks Monkdad for the comment.

Yes it will tilt vertical with the table in place as i sat it back about an inch behind the foot for that purpose. The lines stay stationary only the splitter ram moves. Thank You Bill Morris

Thanks for the comment.

Thanks

Stanley send me a email and I will give you my cell number call me and I will explain how I made mine. Thanks

Thank you stray fiftynine for watching.

Tom if you would like to find out more just e mail me and I will get back to you with a description on exactly how I built mine. kb5tgs@gmail.com Thank you Tom for watching my Video. I am not able to post another video right now for a while.

Ed I did have to redesign the slide on the I beam I tried picking up a large round 16 inches long and 2.5 foot in diameter and the pipe bent and it jumped off. I don't usually have anything much over ten to 12 inches. So what i did was replace the 1/8" flat and ran a 1/2 inch plate across the top of the I beam and put one on each side under the top i beam plate and let it stick out about 2 inches on each side stooping just short of it dragging against the Vertical plate. i Used two 5/16" square steel key stock and welded it between the two flat plates on outer edge and another 5/16" key stock not quite touching the edge of the I beam leaving a slight clearance. i drilled two 5/16" holes through both 1/2 inch plates just behind the key stock and pulling the upper and lower pieces tight against the key stock. I then found a 5/8 inch bolt with a square head and welded it to the center of the 2 5/16 slide pieces and when the table goes down the cable from table to the slide lets the table follow it down put your log on the table foot and when it starts lifting the back side of the splitter head hits the bolt picking up the table and log so when the table reaches level the trip pops out and and wont let the table go down while you are slitting.

At least 250 lbs

Thanks for the commit. I will be glad to help you if you have any questions.

Love the design! I could not make out exactly how the lift table latches. Would love to add something like this to my wood splitter.

David its a simple 2 piece tilt latch a 1 inch box tubing notched at the top to let the 3/4 tubing to go outward for the table to sit on. with a 3/4 inch inside the 1 inch with 1/4 inch a bolt through both in the center so it can toggle in or outward and a small coil spring between the 1 in and the 3/4 to push it outward. There is a 1/4 in rod with a 90 degree ell on one end that goes through the splitter I beam 3/4 box tubing just above the top of the 1 inch box tubing and the other straight end goes through the splitter I beam to pull the 3/4 box tubing back so the table will go down when you need to pick up more wood. Thanks for watching.

Doug thanks for the reply.This one is easy to remove 2 1/4 inch bolts and its off. I can change filter without removing protector.

The table latch is just behind the front of the table about 3 inches and the latch release handle is operated on the operator side just behind the splitter foot. I drilled a 1/4 inch hole through the I beam and ran the rod through it to operate the trip lever. If you pause the video when I walk around to the operators side to operate the splitter you can see the brass pull knob trip. Also in the video just before I walk around the slitter and the splitter table is lowered to the ground where I am putting the wood on the foot pause it and you can see the table stop just behind the splitter foot. The flat cable slide is a 2 inch flat iron 1/8 inch thick that sticks over the I beam on each side. I mounted 2 pieces of Fiberglass round stock under the 2 inch flat metal on each side . I ground the side and top of the fiber glass round stock flat so it would bolt to flat iron on each side of the I beam. This lets it slides down the beam fine. The small pipe is welded to the flat iron and there is a sharpened to a point Small bolt that is welded to the bottom of the splitter head so it can pick the table back up when more wood is needed. .I attached the short piece 1/8 inch cable to the flat slide plate and to the top of the X brace for lifting the table back up. Hope the helps. If you need a picture email me and I will take a picture up and email it to you.If you enlarge to theater mode on my KZfaq video you can probably see it ok. Thank You William Morris

@@williammorris622 thanks

Thanks James I sent you email glad to hear from you,

Michael the stop the table sits down on is located on the rigkt side nesr the foot of the splitter. If you are standing at the rear of the splitter the trip is on the right side just behind the foot attached to the channel iron. When the table raised the edge of the table pushes the trip back as it starts to get level and just as tye table passes the trip it pops out and when you go forward unless the handle is pulled to pull the trip backwards on the left side where the operator stands the table stays up resting on the trip lever or dog if you will.

Its a simple spring assisted 3/4 inch box tubing inside a 1inch box tubing with a notch cut about 1/2 in deep 7/8 inch wide to let the 3/4 inch pivot as the table comes up it pushes the 3/4 box tubing back into the 1 inch and when the table gets level it pops out under the table so on the split stroke the table sits on the pivot and stays up.

Steven there is a trip latch that is located near the front on the splitter just behind the foot that the wood rest on when you pick ii up it pushes the latch lever back and when it passes it the spring pushes it under the table. When the split stroke starts forward the table sits on it and won't go down. When you need to load more wood on the foot pull the trip lever and the split stroke will let the table down. Thanks for watching the video.

Thank You for taking the time to watch and for the complement.

Thank you for viewing and for the nice comment.

Thanks Maxie for your comment.

Robert if you will send me your cell number i will text you pictures E-mail is harder for me to send the pictures.

Really nice splitter well made. But the Price of $7950 not counting shipping to USA is pretty steep. I have about $1440 in mine with the lift and ram limiter. I don't do commercial firewood selling just my own and our son's needs so I could not justify spending that amount of money on a splitter.the only thing I can see about Superaxe WS150 Log Splitter Made by Whitlands Engineering is having to push both handles down to operate the ram. When I am slitting small kindling for my offset smoker I can lay it down and split as thin of pieces as I want and that would not work on the Wetlands splitter. A person could make a cross handle for it and use one hand to operate both levers but you would still have to hold the small pieces upright by hand. But I really like the Whitlands splitter a well built good safe design. Thanks for the link to Wetlands website and thanks for the comments on my splitter. William

@@williammorris622 The SuperX3100 is single hand operation built for the home owner /small farm at about half that price of the WS150. They are Aussie dollar prices ( currently 65c A.U.D = $1 U.S.D). I know they do ship them to New Zealand but they do have a long waiting list as they are built to order. Just a few ideas for you, you don't see this Australian design wood splitter anywhere else.

@@dustyfarmer AWSOME THEY LOOK LIKE THERE TOUGHEST SPLITTER I SEEN.

I can’t even imagine what shipping would cost from Australia to the US.

@@judge058 Bob it was over $800.00 in their shipping section. Too rich for my blood!

Thanks Greg for your comments! There are so many different splitters and models it would be a nightmare trying to get drawings of all of them.

There is a spring latch just behind the foot of the splitter the opposite side of the main I beam. When the table comes up from the ground and right before it gets level if slides against the latch pushing it in and when it gets level the it clears the latch and it pops out then when the ram moves forward table sits down on the latch. when you want the table to go back down the operator pulls the handle on the operator side and hold it until the table starts down then you can release it while the table goes to the ground.

@@williammorris622 could send me pictures? Also, where did you get the supplies from? Thanks Gary

Justin thanks for the comment. it would fit the Champion 25 ton models but other size I don't know if it would work the same way. Then there are all the other brands out there. But thanks for the suggestion.

Jimmie I live in Opelousas. We are almost always around the house. If you get up this way email and come by I would show you my splitter and might throw in a cup of coffee👍

@@williammorris622 sounds good my friend

Roger use my e mail to contact and I will send you a email back on how I did mine. Thanks

It is a bit loud but it does have a muffler you can't idle this model down it's wide open or off.

Andria mine is a 25 ton at 2000 lbs per ton =50,000 lbs pressure. My table will lift way many times more than I will ever put on the table. I hope this helps.
