This is an old log splitter I've had for years. I didn't build it, but I upgraded it. It has an 8hp predator engine I installed about 5-6 years ago, and I put a filtration setup on it. The tires are shot - it appears the old owner tried caulking them on the rims to stop leaks. I never did anything with the tires, as they hold air long enough to roll it around the property to where I was splitting. It has a log lift arm, but I pulled the handle off so I didn't accidentally hit it. It was more like a catapult than a lift, and I didn't use it at all. It does have a standard 2" ball, but would need to be picked up with a trailer due to the tires. This thing split everything I threw at it, including quite a few nasty stringy box elder logs. It has been sitting for about 3 years - due to medical issues I can no longer pull start it. I cleaned out the gas tank and lines, and put a new carb and spark plug in it, and I have no doubt it will start right up. You are more than welcome to come try it, I just can't start it. I don't know the tonnage, but it split easily, and I would compare it to some 20ton models I have used in the past. I don't need help selling it. I won't respond to "is it still for sale" messages - if the ad is still up, it's available. I am able to deliver on a trailer (within reason), but you would have to have a way to unload it. Responses by email and text only please. Thanks for looking!
