Quick update :o
Finally got ahold of the dealer yesterday :t
Been to sick the last month to do anything...He tells me he'll call Shaver to see what they will do...So I'm hopefull that I won't be driving down and trying to throw that fooker thru- their window ;D

On a positive note the GREAT PUNKIN will hit the 100 hour mark today jj:
Basically trouble free...except I had to patch and slime one front tire...ran over a big staple... As soon as I find the camera, I'll post pix of the new 4 foot splitter that got built as well ;D

Now I am confused....  You have a post hole digger and a screw wood splitter?  So the splitter will screw into the log, but it won't split even with the screw all the way in so chainsaw is required to remove the log from the splitter?  Do you have a pic of the whole splitter or did you shitcan it and just built a new "traditional" splitter?

I shit canned the whole fooken hunk of shit...But I still have the bit here...
THE BIT IS TOO SMALL IN DIAMETER...AND WAY TO FOOKEN SHORT...The dealer sorta gave me my money back...he took the 600 bux and put it towards my new deck...and gave me a 3point pto driven loaner til my deck comes in ;D
I'll get some pix if the bit for ya...I almost tossed it on the load of iron  kick
Now the traditional splitter   ff:   thats the second one built this spring...
The 1st one was the traditional "I" beam...8" X 8" by 3/8" thick...worked fine...till I crushed some truck tires in it nono

This one is 6" X 10" 5/16" rectangle tube...4" x 22" with a 2" piston..Terrex Ram off the skidder...The control valve is mounted on the slide plate so it moves with the wood this keeps me really close to the work  8) No more truck tires...Barnes 2 stage 11gpm pump with a 9 HP. E start Briggs vanguard motor, supplies the crushing...Beam twisting/bending power drowning
There is also a flip down plate...push 22"...retract....Push the last 22"
Or toss the shorty 16" hunks in and split like a normal splitter
I'll get some pix soon...Been just fooken crazy around here

Yah that new one has a hell of a beam.  ;D


You were trying to cut the tires apart with the old one?  rofl


I always wondered how one of those screw splitters would work.  What is the diameter of the big end?  6"?

A "screw splitter" works very well. First it  splits off some of your money and then it screws you .  Right Spec?  ;) ;) ;) ;)

Ok here's the screw part
The one I talked to the dude on the phone about was 24" long and over 10" on top...
This is what I got sent...when I called him up and told him he shipped the wrong one...they don't make that one anymore...
This one works just as good...ask your wife if size matters
