Thanks Bob for the help last week on the Kohler motor. It is a KT19S 19 hp twin cylinder model. I fabricated two into one straight through exhaust and now it sounds bad!!!! It is a little overkill for a log splitter, but it is what I had and it was fun to put together. And if I can lift it onto the splitter, this thing will bust right through it. Pretty awesome. Harley

Built one ten + years ago with a 2300 ford pinto engine on it (talk about overkill??)But it worked great. "Make sure you put a guard over that pto shaft" and have fun

I've burned wood all my life. Home-made splitter has a 4x24 cylinder on it, driven by the remotes on the nearest (diesel) tractor. Checking around online, there's some argument whether that should be called a 20-ton or 40-ton splitter.

Oh, but the neighbor's splitter... 8hp gas engine (they said you only need 5!), wedge about a foot tall and triple as wide as mine, 6 inch bore on his cylinder and a two-stage hydraulic pump.

Mine'll split most stuff just fine. But mine doesn't take too kindly to splitting crotch pieces. Neighbor's splitter eats 'em just fine. But that engine does grunt kinda hard when the second stage on that pump kicks in!

Harley,

Did you get the charging system to function, and were you able to get into the Kohler manuals on the Kohler site?

Ya Bob, I scavanged the 24 page owners manual and the 74 page service manual. Took about 2 hrs. to download and print everything, but it is in a looseleaf notebook now and it really came in handy wiring the thing. Salvaged a choke and throttle cable off an old Murray lawn mower, and the pump in the resevoir tank you see is off an F-600 Ford truck hoist. Plumbed all this together and wala, a 2006 Idunit firewood splitter. Like I said too, with that two into one exhaust and the little cam in there loping, it sounds like a baby Harley. Runs just above an idle to work the pump. Hardly uses any gas at all, and that's a lot different than when I had it hooked to the old M with it running about 3/4 throttle.

Hey Harley, sounds like you've got a splitter like I'm wanting to make before this winter gets here to handle some of the stuff I aquired recently. If you want to see a really good splitter though you ought to see the one one of our customers made for his business. He sells firewood to alot of BBQ houses as well as individuals plus sells logs to furniture mfgs, etc for veneers. In short he goes through alot of wood. To get the larger straight stuff for the venner makers he has to take the parts where the trees branch out also. Problem is their too big for his processer to handle "as is". So he made himself a splitter to handle make the junk into pieces small enough for his processer to handle. It's been awhile since I saw it and I didn't take exact measurements but best I can remember he began by using something like a 36 inch I beam with around an 18 inch flange. To that he attached a wedge that's nearly 3 feet tall, and a pusher plate to match. To provide power he uses a hydraulic unit with a 4 cylinder Ford diesel driving it and putting out around 25 GPM though I don't have a clue what pressure he's running. Behind the plate he used two cylinders that I believe were 6 inch with around a 12 foot stroke..... ..It's one mean splitter and it really proves your theory, 'More power is definately gooder..... ..'
