Here's a couple of pics to prove my welding stance (or disprove it)
This will be the tank/crossframe for the new log splitter I'm building.
It will be self powered by an 8hp tecumseh driving a 2 stage pump and will incorporate a "cross" wedge that will be hydraulicaly adjustable in height and have a hydraulic log lift for the big ones.
I was going to convert the 3 point hitch splitter I built 10 or 11 years ago but with the addition of the "cross" wdge it would probably take the existing splitter out of service for too long a period so I'm building the new one from the ground up and when it's done I can sell the 3 pt. job.
When it's done I can split firewood without tying up a tractor (after all I only have 3)
