[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4151996, member: 5412"] Go for the higher tonnage and watch what wood you split. If it’s green elm, toss it aside. It can damage a splitter that’s not exceptionally strong. My first build on a splitter was with a 5” H beam for a rail. One piece of green elm turned it into a horseshoe. The new model I built will split up to 3’ diameter green oak with an 18hp electric start Koehler engine. Double H beam with hardened grader bladed welded into the H beam webb. Trailer tongue jacks used for outriggers when using the hydraulic lift Built the trailer as well.
