Harbor Freight Log Splitter for 1099
I find the picture on the web to be hard to view for details on my computer. But if the splitting wedge is on the cyl rod as it looks and if the hoses are where they look to me to be, I think the split wood could push back agains the hoses. Not good.
However I see what looks to be a hyd cyl but it gives no details on the cyl as to size and it reads "chain drive".
Dennis, how do you know the reservoir's size? I don't see that spec nor do I see it in the picture.
Again, the picture is not easy to view for details on my computer.

Dennis,
The manual is much better than the web view for me. I still wonder what the "chain drive" is they refer to on the catalog but do not see it in manual. Wonder if the motor is not direct to pump or if that is a misprint.
They do keep repeating 8 inch is largest diameter to split. Could that be due to height of wedge? Or is that a way to be safe for warranty?
Does the valve stay place is you release it to retract the cyl so you can be getting for next piece?
I am of the opinion HF is mainly Chianese. But for seldom use what I have seen of their products to look fair to good.
You can, ask their warranty, no doubt they have some time frame of if you are not satisfied, get the wood ready and run it and be sure.
As to the Chicago Pne. brand name. It was mentioned on some show on tv recently. Unless it is a twist on the name it is a very old company that made some of the first air tools.

Dennis,
I wonder just how much heating issue on the hdy oil you will have in the temps you have. I am assuming you will be splitting wood in the winter and not summer. But if it is summer, sweat baby sweat.
I think Northern Tool recommends reservoir of same size as gpm of pump. Wonder how close their splitters hold to that?
Sorry for the confusion on the name. I was referrring to
yooperpete's "I don't know how they come up with the name Chicago Pneumatic".
That name was mentioned on some history show about pneumatic tools as a company that developed drills or impact wrenches or such.
Dennis, as smart as you are, why not use the Mark Twain idea? Have a wood splitting contest each year. Give a hundred dollars to the winner. Require each to split say half a cord of wood and require at least 10 to compete?

Murf, Dennis,
What brains! Now lets give it more thought:
First prize: week operating snow blower in Canada (probably only Southerners would want this.)
Second prize: week testing insect repellant in Georgia (SG could help out here)
Third prize: shooting Prairie Dogs (Iowafun?)
Grand Prize: Tee Shirt with a year's subscription might be just right!
Be sure to hold all video rights to it. It probably will be worth at least that $100,000 grand prize.
Hey, I almost messed up...about a month before the log splitting contest you need the tree cutting contest... and then about two weeks before you need the front end loader contest with loading, hauling and placing of load contest.
As I am  on this, it would work.
