Look up splitez dump valve. They have different ones rated for different gpm ratings

Yes

How the hell did u get it past the last point I got it so close but somthing holding me back deep inside

@@michaelstone-nw8lh there is a little peep hole on the side. I was also holding my phone up to video, and a magnetic flashlight shining in the hole. Took me a couple of hours of just trying over and over. Really frustrating

If you could, edit the name of video, I almost didn't watch it because it said 2001,ty. And you did get it out, without pulling transmission. What's technique for it.

@@barryjamestowlejr8393 the bolt is captured. Just leave it plugged it, unbolt it, and pull it out by the harness

No, I'm not sure what they are selling now, but I believe split geeze sells a different model number now. I'd recommend googling them and buying the dump valve that fits your exact usage. They have 2-3 different gpm ratings

Speed, this thing is pretty slow. 12 seconds I think. That giant 6 inch cylinder really slows things down. But it will put a 35 inch wide knotty oak piece through that 8 way wedge which is really nice. The 1 inch lines don't help with flow, they only reduce the heat. That giant filter is from surplus center and I believe it has some giant thread like 1-1/2. I love it though, it should last forever damn near. I also turned a 40 ton county line into my fast resplit machine. Replaced the cylinder with a 3.5 inch cylinder from rugged made. And with that 25 GPM pump that's on it, it runs 5 second cycles times. Absolutely a monster. Let me know what more you'd like to see, and if I missed anything in this response

@@cocoscorner6419 Thanks for the quick response man! That's kinda why I went with a 4" and a 28GPM pump...to make it fast. I'm not sure if it's gonna be fast enough. I might have to go to a 3.5 or 3" cylinder. According to the calculations, I'm looking at about 4.5 second cycle time , with the 4", but thats if the flow isn't restricted much. You definitely need a dump valve on that huge cylinder. I might need to do the same to get a faster retract time because the valve body becomes the restriction on the retract. I've seen quite a few vertical splitters on the tube with 3" cylinders and smaller 22GPM pumps, with no dump valve, that move pretty damn quick. I have an account on Surplus Center, I'll have to check and see what they have. Coincidently, the beam and splitter head that I'm using is from a Northern Tool 37 ton splitter that had a 5" cylinder on it. I'm selling that 5" cylinder to try and recoup some of the cost of the splitter I'm building. 😏

Hahaha I've missed ya bud

@@cocoscorner6419 right back atcha

PVC came from a wholesale composite supplier, cages that big should probably have additional supports if stacked

I'm sorry to inform you that due to some family matters, we are no longer building cages

A plastic and polymer supplier that's local to Detroit. The only way we could make it for a reasonable price was bulk orders of 25 4x8 sheets at a time

To be honest, I have no idea lol

Us too!!

Whilst showing pretty much none of the build process.

Exactly... just get you a saw, woodshop table, know the measurements on hand 😂

It is 1/2 inch expanded PVC The biggest problem is sourcing it. It took us a long time to find a supplier and it wasn't until we were buying 15 sheets at a time that the price became low enough to be cheaper than buying a premade cage

Yeah, I'm sorry but I've actually found some much more lucrative side gigs so I never got back into cage building

Oakland county

@@cocoscorner6419 do you still build cages? Or could you kind of walk me through building my own? This video is great but not in depth. I’m pretty crafty

@@katiebug5273 the problem is finding the material. If you can find pvc sheets for a decent price, then you cut it down so the sides fit on top of the bottom piece, and then we would clean the edge with acitone and use a PVC glue and then brad nail it to hold it in place while the glue dried. Then for the glass we used 1/4 in thick non tempered glass that rode in tracks we made using a router table. Just made the tracks an extra .030 inches wider than the glass

@@cocoscorner6419 I wondered how hard it was to find the PVC here in Michigan. I’ll have to see if I can get my hands on a router. I’ve never actually used one before. We’ve soooo many other tools just not anything really of that sort.

@@katiebug5273 right on. It's a learning experience. You could see the quality of the cages we made drastically increase for the 5 we made

Yeah. Just like all home made things, it's cheaper than buying it so long as you have 7k in tools lol

Thanks!!! It was my first time with a camera and someone else was around. Thought it may be nice to set up and just bs with a good guy like garret

@@cocoscorner6419 oh for sure. Garrett is a guy you can follow with a camera all day and get a million little moments of knowledgeable conversation. Visited his place last year for almost a week and it was amazing.

Sorry but I am no longer breeding ackies sadly

Sorry but no

Sadly no, we had to close shop

84 degrees and mine hatch between 118-121 days

@@cocoscorner6419 so in C* between 29 to 32 than ?

@@ImmanuelPatton you'd have to google the conversion my friend. I've never used celsius. And a 3 degree swing in celsius would be way to high. My incubator stayed within + or - .3 degrees

@@cocoscorner6419 thank you so much ! I was able to find a way to switch it

At 84 degrees fahrenheit my ackies hatched between 118-122 day on average. Sometimes it takes upwards of a week after they start pipping for them to actually hatch out. Here is a link to building an incubator if you have any questions on how to build one that works really well for me th-cam.com/video/OHT-m-dsmEQ/w-d-xo.html

I love my sweet arus

@@cocoscorner6419 yep the sweetest

Title was more click bate as we grew as a company. Didn't show everything we did or how we did it because we got into cage building and selling nationwide for a while until some family emergency came up and my brother and I decided that we should close scaletopia LLC and downsized our snake collections as well. It was fun while it lasted

Sorry to read that...best of luck for what next.
