I have a much larger Iron and Oak model with a big cylinder, pump and engine. There's nothing that it won't split.

So, Richard, If you want a heavy-duty log splitter that isn't so low to the grown try the <a href="http://www.logsplittersale.com/product_info.php?products_id=16/" rel="nofollow">32 Ton 9HP</a> It isn't so hard on your back on the long run. And even though you might pay a few more dollars for this one, fixing hurt backs can get pretty pricey too. The 32-ton will get the job done a whole lot quicker than the wimpy 20 that Jonathan likes. :) <a>LogSplitterSale.com</a> I found all of your comments very interesting and I think it is time for a woman’s opinion.

Yes, I agree, split would should eject away from tractor. Of course, while we're at it, this entire rig is a bit low to the ground. Great for getting big piece up, less great on your back for a lot of splitting unless you're sitting down. Jonathan: Not my splitter, just one I saw.

My guesstimate as to the cost of the above mentioned items excluding the I beam is around $600.00.

I wanted to share a new patent pending idea with you and the group. I have been working on this idea for over two years and have gone thru a couple of design enhancments to get to this point. Check out the video and pictures on my website. www.licketysplitter.com I had some very large wood that I was not able to pickup into a tradtional splitter. I was tired of repositioning logs to split in the verticle splitters. I would be interested to hear feedback on my product. Hi Richard,
