We had a hurricane here a couple of weeks ago...
While cleaning up at parents and friends properties ( most of them look something like this http://www.naeslund.dk/peter/foto/170105/page_01.htm ) I got an idea to get or build a decent sized log splitter.. The Home Despot clones here sell some rather small 4 or 6 ton hydraulic ones, but they seem a bit small for 40-50 cm diameter logs.. The other option is paying a fortune for a logsplitter that mounts on a tractor... Only problem with that is that someone would have to buy a tractor too :-).. I scrounged a 10HP electric motor with a worm gear on it, have access to a large machineshop and can stick, TIG and MIG weld if that gives anyone a good idea? Any input would be appreciated /peter |
