Newbies and oldies---what brings you to this forum
KlienChris, Harvey's the guy with the Binford model 10,000 turbo wood-splitter. But thanks anyways.
I came here in the first place, many years back now, looking for ideas for new implements and some idle chatter. At the time I was debating going back into the fabricating business, and making implements and tools for CUT's, I still haven't done it full-scale, but do make lot's of stuff for our own business (building and maintaining golf courses).
I was brought up such that those who knew, guided and taught those who WANTED to know.......
I agree, it's the friendly relaxed attitude here that keeps me coming back.
BTW, for those interested, the next project is a self-propelled woodsplitter, you drive it to the wood and it picks up & splits the wood for you. Probably including a small elevator to then put the split wood into a truck or trailer directly.
Best of luck.

Murf I've been married to one of the wood machines you describe for 35 years (120+ man years) she's just not as efficient as she used to be.
I saw a little grapple cart that would be the cats butt with a couple more big hydraulic pumps on the Binford 10,000 along with some hydraulic motors to drive some tractor wheels... hydraulic steering. Time to look in bone yards for a old loader frame or tractor frame...

I keep trying to remember keep it "small" keep it simple...
I can just see me out there with a 200-400hp skidder/processor/carrier all in one machine just to do my little bit of wood...

Harvey, I have the same problem.
Except in this case I already have a 12hp riding tractor as a donor for most of the drive train and rolling stock.
Although, I do have an old Isuzu truck, hmmm, a 50mph road speed might be handy too......
Best of luck.
