[QUOTE="nailsbeats, post: 5877, member: 784"] One thing about Bobcat powered is that the pump never slows down, you get a preasure spike and CRACK the wood almost explodes, it is awesome, huge performance difference over 2-stage pumps. I have 2 other splitter to use once the wood is in a manageable state, keeps unneeded hours off my machine. Trying to chase down the small stuff with this unit takes a lot more time than just 1/4ing and putting on the self powered unit later. I feel the best combination is a Bobcat mounted splitter for big stuff and a self powered for the smaller pieces, that is if you have the means to have both. If you had 2 guys you could flip the splitter 180 degrees and have one guy feed it while the other runs it from in the cab, sounds a little dangerous though as I saw my brother get his thumb caught in one of our other splitters a month or so ago. If my dad wouldn't have been close enough to here him screem and stop it he would only have 9 fingers. The preasure caused the skin to explode from the inside out, a little glue in the emergency room and he was all set. For the record he also cut his knee with a chainsaw a few months before that, 3 separate 4-5 inch cuts, once again emergency room. Oh yeah, I almost forgot that between those two incidences he took a widowmaker to the head after dropping a 30” pine and broke his hardhat. Kind left him in a dazed state. Well that is my brother.
