I have an idea for a simple, cheap log splitter. My H Farmall has a bucket loader on it with a hydraulic tilt bucket, ergo, a two way cylinder to tilt the bucket.
My idea is to build a splitter that would be on an axle with wheels on one end, and attach to the bucket on the loader by maybe a trailer ball hitch. Then simply have couplers to uncouple the hydraulic lines from the bucket cylinder and couple them to the splitter cylinder. There's a dual lever control for the loader mounted on the light bracket to the right of the steering wheel with a single acting lever to raise and lower the loader, and a two way lever to tilt and untilt the bucket. I'd run a rod back to operate the two way lever from in front by the splitter.
My question is, would the stock H hydraulic system with the belly mount pump handle this with enough pressure to operate the splitter?
