This is the log splitter I built about ten years ago. It uses a Honda GX390 engine rated at 13 horse power and powers a 22 GPM Haldex pump. It uses three cylinders. One for the log lift, one for the splitting ram and one for the four way wedge. Don't try to build one of these at home in less you are prepared to spend twice what the ones at the box stores cost. But... they don't have a log lift, a four way wedge, a 25 gallon hydraulic tank, an outfeed table, a cup holder, and real steel!
