Re: (ET) splitter

Take a look at the super split splitter.  It is a flywheel-driven 
mechanical rack-and-pinion splitter that really works.  It comes with a 
3hp briggs engine that is more than enough.  I considered putting my 
spare elec-trak snowblower motor on it, but haven't yet.  It would work 
just fine.  See http://www2.shore.net/~logsplit/
