A Backhoe Wood Splitter


Have you ever seen a backhoe rigged up as a wood splitter? You can come up with all kinds of interesting ways to get the job done on a homestead. Hydraulic systems can become very powerful tools when you use them different ways.

This is our neighbor, Vern. Yup, that's him. Vern. He started off like us off the grid and still has to haul in his water from a nearby well during the week. He has electricity but many places out in the Ozarks still do not have access to easy water lines.

ENJOY THE VIDEO!

Salt of the Earth.

The world needs a few hundred thousand more like him.

Amazing. This is the backbone of this country. God-Fearing homesteader, who gives glory to his maker. @ironshield

Yeah, he is a great guy.

Very cool idea. Never thought about doing that. Extremely creative using the stabilizer arm. I've seen the ones using the PTO on tractors but never this. SO COOL!

THANKS! He's a great guy!

That's awesome. Something for us to keep in mind when we're shopping for a tractor!
