stewie 3,387 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 lol yeah your right mate, but the amount im looking to do will take years with an axe or a few days with a splitter!!! i brought a jcb hydrochief few weeks back for the breaker but turns out you can run splitters off it to, which is a bonus......... one like this............

tb25 4,627 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 very handy mate if like you say you have a lot of wood.and with the amount of people getting in to the log burners and what not nowadays there no shortish in getting rid of the wood Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stewie 3,387 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 thats it mate, my keeper friend has a few wind blown trees hanging in other trees deep in the forest and he says if get them down i can have them!!! im hoping to get something to use with my hydraulic pack so its easy to chuck on his trailer and tow it with his quad, get the trees down and then split them where they fall.......... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slingshot82 32 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 You would need to find out if the log splitter has a d.c.v (directional control valve) if the hydraulic cylinder is double acting. I'm pretty sure most power packs built for running breakers and small hammers only have an on/off valve which only flows oil in one direction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
