Making Hydraulic Log Splitter

I used three hydraulic cylinders to build the hydraulic log splitter. Two smaller cylinders drive the knife and the wood feeder, the largest hydraulic cylinder splits wood. Everything is connected to two hydraulic distributors, a single-section distributor designed for log splitter, and a universal two-section distributor. For two smaller hydraulic cylinders I had to install valves to slow them down because they were moving out too fast. The valves make the pump heavily loaded but the cylinders work slower. I connected the whole machine to the hydraulic power pack I made in the previous video.
Thanks to the feeder and adjustable blade the work is very fast and not tiring, the splitter has a lot of power and can handle the hardest wood without any problem

Great build. I would say some of it is over built, so just perfect, no such thing as over built! I bought a 25 ton splitter years ago when I heated with wood. Broke it in a week and had to beef up several things. I absolutely love the power pack. Much better with 1 machine and motor to keep running to do multiple things. Plus if it's used more it stays running and doesn't sit around and rot. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent build, you gave me some ideas for mine, thanks! It's better to have the flat face on the ram, my old log splitter had the knife on the ram and it got loaded with wood pieces and was a pain. The log lifter is a real back saver. Build a small conveyor to load the split wood into your cart, and run it off the hydraulics too.

@@jonesy4588 The trade off is huge. He does not have to pick up 50 LB logs. The commercial ones, the logs fall on your feet or onto the optional 'tray' that holds only 1/2 of a medium size log, anyway. No way a tray holds after a 4 way split of a log that size. Something has to give. The other thing is that it's safer. No hands or body near anything. You have to wear steel tipped boots with a normal log splitter. One or six will find a foot.

A very nice build. I built something similar that goes on a tractor 3 point linkage when I was 16. Mine has a 11 tonnes force ram. I am now 60 and gave it a slight overhaul last year. Like you, I originally had the split logs falling to the ground. My only improvement was to have flat steel tables at the spitting height either side of the splitting blade to save having to bend down to pick up fallen split logs. You could still add to yours if you wanted? Many thanks for sharing your build with us. Greetings from the UK.

Caught your goof on the lift bracket weld!!! :) Man this is one awesome looking machine you've built!!!! Nice LOW audio on the music track, doesn't make me go look for another vid!!!! Sped up sequences at just the right places too. Just a thought for you... I realize it's a bit more time consuming, but I know some of us would like to make some of the things you do, but without a design plan or you mentioning dimensions it's all guesswork on our end. Perhaps you'd consider having a surface that's laid out in shown size squares (10mm/ 1cm wide squares or whatever) and you lay the parts on them and show them in the vid so we have a size comparison or (more time consuming) write the dim's on the parts themselves (easier than editing the vid with dim's I'm sure). That way at least we'd be able to pause the vid and make our own prints. And perhaps a raw mat's list of what you start with... Pretty cool vid, very nicely done, and the end result looks fantastic!!!

And also, I think I’d add another horizontal fin for additional cutting. What are your thought?

great video! thank you for making it. you have great skills and it is interesting to see you produce this splitter... the video editing was perfect: well-paced and to the point while showing each stage. only critique is that the loader seems a little too close to the splitting blade by about 2-3 inches (so logs don't hit the blade) and I'd prefer slightly larger wheels for transporting it. Workshop From Scratch indeed!
