The first splitter that I built was also constructed using an old bridge beam. I built it to split 36" blocks for the evaporators up in the sugarbush. We used it for years until the beam and wedge rails wore out. It was mounted vertically on on the 3pt. of several tractors over the years. We replaced it with a second hand comercially built unit, 3 years ago. It is also a vertical 3pt. unit, but I just converted it to mount and operate on my trackhoe. No more lifting, bending over, or working on our knees to split the long blocks for the evaporators. I just set in the seat and pluck blocks from the pile, swing to the splitwood pile, and split blocks atop that pile. I don't know your situation or how much wood you split anually, but perhaps you might think more about the 3pt A frame on the motor end and put some smaller wheel barrow wheels with a narrow axle on it that is not extending into your work area, so when not in use you can move it for storage or even simpler just some legs to set it on when not in use. Just sugestions, not being critical. Necessity is the mother of inovation. Old age makes inovation a necessity. Loren
