Zetor Crystal 8011 and hydraulic log splitter

Tom,
I'm down in Clare. That looks a neat bit of home brew there. Hope you don't mind if I borrow your plan. Just got an urge this year to plant a piece of ground which I know was a great spud and vegeatable plot in olden days. However it had become overshadowed by very large ash trees. Having cleared the massive overhanging branches, I am left with big amount of firewood. Your schematic seems a low cost way into a splitter.
BTW, the spuds and veg, are coming on a treat.

Tom,
It seemes that you are plitting quite a short piece of woods. We are using hydraulic log splitters mostly for 1 meter long logs and this kind of machines for making 35cm long fire woods:
And under 20 cm diameter thick wood we split usually with machines like this:

We split 1 meter logs, and then use the circular firewood saw to chop the splitted logs to 30cm lengths. 1 meter logs are easier to handle because you have to pick up times less pieces... 
Rujib,
I am about to make one change to the log splitter i.e. to replace the original ram (which I originally bought as a hydraulic top link for my MF 35) which was a 50mm bore x 300mm stroke with a 100mm x 200mm ram. When I built the splitter about 10 years ago, it cost me 20 for steel.
Why? The original ram bent. Knots are TOUGH!
Good luck with your construction!

Markku,
I split short bits of wood of neccessity - I dont have a circular saw bench for the tractor!
When I was in Austria on holiday a couple of years back, I saw the 1m lengths of wood. I often wondered how they burned them but sawing them up to 30cm long would do the trick.
That Japa is a DB of a machine!

Tom,
This is a Rolls Royce of wood splitters:

Anyway the price is something about 30 000 euros, so you need to do more firewood what whole village needs!!!!!!
