- During the video, watch for the many yellow side notes. After building MANY splitters, I put all of my best ideas into one tool. There is no room in the shop for a unitasker. This puppie does all of my hydraulic tasks, plus, it takes up very little floor space in the shop. Check out the two stage wedge. My goal was to have a tool that could perform six functions. I hope you will watch the video, and share with me your idea of what the next function is that the CAD Tr Model 6 should be equipped to do. I will do my best to fabricate the needed mods so you can see it do your idea.
Fantastic design and fabrication. I will be building one for myself. Hard to see why 90 people hit the dislike button.
you did a great job. the world has survived with great inventors like yourself.
Wowow!! Is it not time for a 2020 ad update?? How many new , post 2013 clever twists abound?? Can't wait!!
Pretty neat. I never thought a splitter could be used in so many ways. I have a 30ish ton splitter, want a 20 ton press, hmmm, gets me thinking. Great Machine You Have!!!
I like the parallel to axel space saving design of the trailer mount, and the quick change cross-pin design for attachments.Some ideas you may want to consider: Working alone, I find a foot actuated pedal very convenient -frees up both hands; height adjustment for the cylinder could be incorporated (higher for splitter wood, lower for the press or other functions; a pivot and longer hoses could permit tipping up the unit into a vertical position as suggested by garrisonaw.All in all a very well made unit, thanks for sharing.Robert.

The creativity, design, engineering and craft are all quite impressive!
Right on!! Great ideas, well executed.
WHY COULDN'T I HAVE HAD A NEIGHBOR LIKE YOU TO GROW UP NEXT TO
I worked in a STELL MILL for six years and never had a chance learn how to weld and it pisses me off to no end.
Well done sir! I'll take fifty! ;)
Great job, I liked how many features you got in there - especially the traverse mounting. Well done sir.
Best all-around hydraulic tool I have seen yet.
This is outstanding, you did a great job of designing and fabricating this machine..
Our splitter is a store bought model horizontal, vertical splitter. I soon found out how great it is at breaking down tires tho. On a whim I stopped at a yard sale because I saw a set of great looking one ton rear duel tires. The fellow needed them off the wheels for a restoration. None of the tire places could remove the tires. Ended up I went and took the splitter to his house and it peeled them off without a problem. He gave me the tires for the job. I'm still running them and he is happy as well. Also made a double roller for the anvil of splitter and use it as a press brake for flat bar stock. I need to cut off my anvil and make replacement dies as you have done. It also makes a good giant vice for the stuff to big for the bench repair. Oh yeah they split fire wood as well. That's just a plus.
When I find a good deal on a used splitter I'm going to reconfigure it for forging. I'm going to put the engine, pump and tank outside in the lean-to and have the press on the wall immediately inside.
Thanks for a great and inspiring video!
You have a lot of features and good ideas. Here is the but. I have found you cannot beat a two stage pump for splitting wood.
Great idea about removable wedge. Makes it versatile.
You sure thought this out very carefully. Well done!
You are a great innovator! Dr Trimmer company should produce these for you! Good Luck!
Well thought out , plus you could strain a wire fence as well . Thanks for sharing your knowledge .
Yup, make one heck of a fence stretcher for either goat woven wire fence our barbed wire.
Great Job - along with some great ideas to use it for. I suggest a work table attachment for a staging area.
Yes, that's what I like to see, Homemade stuff built with blood,sweat and tears. Can I order one from you?
I thought you were going to bust rocks with it too! Nice splitter.
I was thinking about building one like this a few years back. Great design and nicely done.
You could put a hardened steel knife attachment and make a bar-stock cold cut press (requires hardened steel knife and semi-soft anvil). You could also make a tubing bender (2 1/2" heavy wall all the way to conduit) set of attachments. Nice little project you have there.
best idea so far
I sure like the space saving aspect...
Thanks Sr.
Your design opens up endless applications;
Cider Press, Compressed Earth Block (CEB) for House building, fence stretcher, fuel pellets / cakes of virtually Any size or composition, one I have thought of, food blocks like salt blocks made of leaves and twigs for feeding goats in winter, think hay bales for goats, 50 lb protein blocks like salt blocks. Instead of feed cubes for horses, 1 " diameter, make them one foot diameter, round or square...
it is almost scary the possibilities enabled by such a genius design.
Thank you. I know most fabricators can look at it and figure it out, but you could sell or give away plans to help folks.
I hate to think what you would need as a retail price to market those effectively...
why not sell the design to a reliable, trustworthy, manufacturer? Right! okay that was a dumb question Maybe..
Anyways...Kudos!!!

How To Get Out Of Babylon 7
Awesome! You really need to market this.
Seems like a handy tool, Great job.
Sweet machine! Nicely done.
I love the idea to make it take up less space in the garage. Gave me a thought, I'm going to look at my old 20 ton Huskee and see if I can figure out a way to make the hitch detachable so I can make better use of the shop space. If I stand the beam up I still have the hitch sticking out in the way. It would be nice to open more space in the shop. I like your splitter, great ideas and looks like you really know what your doing, Iv seen store bought splitters that didn't look that well built. You set the bar high. I'd love to build a custom splitter, for now Iv just been adding modifications to my Huskee. Hopefully one day I will have some free time to see what I can build from the ground up. You have already given me some great ideas. The only thing that looks odd to me is the rack on the engine side, what's the purpose of the way its built. It looks bulky. I built one for my Huskee that you can check out in my video. I designed it after doing a lot of splitting. I wanted logs to fall into it and not roll over so I put a high back on it. Please explain your. I'd like to understand.
Nice machine! Show us a video of some wood splitting. Thanks
Very interesting design. Would love to see it in action.
Nice multi machine. One thought I had was to us a splitter as a winch. One could mount a stub of pipe to wrap rope either on the cylinder rod or on the frame. One could cycle the cylinder and take up the slack on the backstroke. Kind of like how a capstan works. If it is mounted on the three point hitch of a tractor endwise with traction legs it would still be quite compact. I have a splitter and am thinking of doing this modification.
What a great bit of kit very nice well done thank you
You Forgot the Flux Capacitor, LOL.........Nice machine and good build !!!
A drop in to hold the tire rims in place for tire removal.A tapered 5' bar notched worked pretty good for me (250 to 300 tires removed with steel rims) before I got a tire machine.
Wow very very nice 👍
You might consider a compactor attachment,also I added remote pressure and return quick disconnects on my 40 ton splitter,I use them a lot.I have a stubby 10 inch hyd.ram that lifts my 20 ton forklift with ease.
Now you got to make a log lifter attachment that will lift the BIG logs up onto the bed hydraulically . I made mine with curved arms near the ground but a flat area up near the splitter so you can keep the split half close by while you work the piece that was originally split off . No need to pick up anything after it is split . The only thing that might cause problems for you is that it is made longitudinally which could cause the splitter to tip over if you got a big enough of a log on the lift . But i'm shure you would figure that out .
Beautiful! How about a kindling maker attachment?
very nice, I like the 2 stage wedge
Like a Swiss Army knife. Thanks.
I Love your multi-tool!!
Looks awesome -- congratulations.
Nice job
Very creative.
Nicely done!
A piece of square tubing mounted above the wedge area, and a piston that quick attaches to the ram....HEY PRESTO! a super duper can crusher/compactor! I could see two plates with hinges and springs so the cans get smashed and then as more get added the crushed cans pushes past the plates to fall on the ground.
If to put some kind of guided roller and a support that keeps the unit from turning over, the come-a-long utility could also be used to pull fence posts out of the ground, using a cable or chain.
Vetty nice configuration.
It seems as though when you pressed against your bearing attachment, that the metal frame shifted slightly. There appears to be a weak-spot or something. I'd suggest adding shock-absorbing motor-mounts to the body where you mount the engine to stop the vibrations.
amazing machine ! thanks for shareing
What a great piece of machinery you have created there is unlimited attachments you could install on this to make jobs much easier I love the desighn of this as a space saver model ! If I may ask what type of work did you do and I love your cub cadet I had that exact model when I lived in New York it was 17 hp hydro I bought it slightly used and mowed 3 acres and blowed snow for 14 years never had a major problem with it other than minor maintance and it was running fine when I moved to Florida hated to leave it behind lol
You could add a shear, a punch, a broach and a stamp. Try adding a horizontal wedge to split four logs at a time.
here's an idea: split a log. also, if you are building a log splitter, the height of the machine should be such that you don't have to bend to set a log or work lever....I'll never understand why all log splitters in America are built as if everyone is 5ft tall.
Very elaborate, and some nice features, but the wood splitter needs to be convertible from horizontal to vertical so you don't need to lift heavy logs 3 feet to split them. Once the logs get over 24 inches in diameter, they become nearly impossible to lift. I like the 2 stage wedge - I may just modify the wedge on the splitter I have to utilize that principle.
Nicely done! It gives me a couple idea's when I finally build mine. How about adding a shear?
Such a neat idea! I hope you have a patent on this machine, would be a shame for someone to pirate your ideas and hard work. I can just see this item on display at Tractor Supply or Northern Hydraulics
nice job,great thinking
Great machine - too bad you don't sell them for those of us who do not have the equipment or knowledge to build it.
With some quick connect hydraulic hoses you could also hook it to a hydraulic winch and many other hydraulic tools.
ever priced a hydro hose crimping machine? buy the crimping dies and you have one! way to improve a machine. thanks for posting!
awesome work! great machine
I don't really now but if it would stack the wood that would be great
Very nice, you deserve to be subbed.
Very nice
Though a good build, it would have been a better video to actually see it working. Maybe you can do a video with it doing some of what it was built for to see it in operation.
Yes, wouldlove that.
Care to share your cnc torch plans? Lot of heavy steel to receive holes 1"+ and that would be a great asset for my shop. Great modification on existing tools.
when you first pulled it up there and started talking about it doing multiple jobs i expected you were going to tell that it also crushed rock. for me that would be a great thing. dont know if you need that or not. i do like the design though.
All real good ideas
I want 1
i loke the idea of multi use, splitter, bender, press tire n rim tear down would be fast to scrap rims amd tires, thanks for the inspiration.
good idea
Drilling holes thru rock 3 feet is what I am building one for.
You can also use it as a can crusher, you can make a sawdust compresser with a pipe to make sawdust brick
It would be great if you could figure out a way to make a wine press attachment. Here in California, we burn a lot of wood and make a lot of wine.
Very nice!
Wow...! It slices...it dices...and look how easy it is to make your favorite pasta noodles...and if you buy now you will recieve a free set of dies to make ravs..riggatoni..and look even spiral noodles..as an extra bonus if you act now..we will
Include This attachment to make your own clay bricks....your nieghbors will never stop bothering you...do you like crushed ice in your martini?Look how fast and easy this job is...and. look at this,no mess no fuss just wipe it off...Its so portable you can even take it to the beach or on your next picnic . The kids will have a blast they can pack sand in their buckets all day long ..imagine the sand castles they can produce with this baby. Have you ever tried packing brown sugar when making cookies...your wife will love it in the kitchen too...
Very clever.
You could make a detachable box that loads from top via a large hopper to collect and crush aluminum cans.
that's an awesome job.
add a detachable wood lift and sides on ur beam to keep wood round from falling off after first in half pass, like your versatility and like that you made your own CNC torch. Video? Plans?
this is nice, thanks for sharing
Coool machine, looks well laid out and well built. One question, do you have a production line and how much?
He stated in video he made it.
i saw one splitter where where he utilised the reverse stroke by mounting a double edged blade in the centre of the beam and pushing one ring through from one side then on the return stroke pull another ring back through effectively he was doubling the output but it did require to people
If you make a very sharp thin wedge.....you can also sharpen stakes with this easily. For ideas on how this works, look for "stake maker"! There's several vids on about it and they do a wonderful job.. This same blade will also make quick work of cutting small limbs into kinling wood without using the chainsaw which is kinda dangerous when dealing with small limbs.
Hi there, I really like the idea of your log splitter. Do you sell plans? As something like this would be really good for me here in France.
I would like to see a type of crusher that could squeeze scrap aluminum cans or other scrap/trash into small stackable cubes for storage until you take them in. around here, they pay more for large loads so storage on my 1/2 acre lot would be nice.
Very Impressive Ingenuity. Looks Amazing, do you offer an attachment for a french press?
Nice machine, how about an attachment to crush the rock by the machine?
If you could make that thing swing up to vertical you could drive star pickets or pointed posts with it.
How about adapting a set of Greenlee punch dies to make is a hole punch?
you can make dies and punches to turn it into a horizontal ironworker
What great ideas... Check on pivoting the I beam so you can do it vertical and ... check on the circular with spokes multi blade to split a whole log in one motion.. very fat and effective and of course a better exhaust to make quieter.
I really like the other suggestion of once vertical to use as putting fence posts in and out old ones and what the hell why not use to lift the car/truck etc in fast order. Love the side mount for storage... great job.. keep going. then sell as kit to make less expensive and for the do it your selfer who may not have welder but can assemble all the parts. and even sell a manual on how to from scratch...for a few bucks... Blessings... now all we need to do is get legislation for all public servants to be periodically tested as to their knowledge, understanding and accurate use of the unanimous Declaration of Independence and the Constitution... so they will at least have a choice to know if they are acting unlawfully or not. By not knowing anything different the conscience has been diffused. We the People need to make changes by public policy, legislation and Statutes. See art VI of the Constitution. thank you.
Add a log drag and a log lift somewhat like a gorillabac lift.
Just a thought...could you configure a way to pivot the beam vertically & use it to drive posts?
+Cody Smith A cylinder that slow with no weight to push equals a big no. It's just going to lift it in the air. Typical post drivers just use a cylinder to lift a driver that has springs to slam down the driver onto the post. It's all about inertia if you don't have the weight.
A variable tool that can be stored in a little space.. Best I have researched so far. Are you in the U.S. and do you have cadd or DXF
drawings that can be downloaded.. Regards and thanks. Ken Pede
could also do engine hoist duty or a small scisorlift as well
number seven 7 Apple/fruit press i have seen one by titan in the uk for a 7 ton electric log splitter there is still a youtube video of the stainless steel attachment but nothing on there website. I love this idea of multi tool, my log splitter sits idle much of the time.
How to get large log rounds split ? Log lift of some kind or get it to go vertical somehow ?
You designed the type that requires you to lift the heavy wood up and put in.it..The verticle ram is far easier !!
Me and my dad made a basket for making cider for one.Works good squishes the shit out of the chopped apples.
