My old push plate was in much disarray. Very badly worn,cracked welds, and just all in all, small. Yes i said small. When splitting with this splitter the wood wants to fray out to the sides of the push plate. The original push plate was 6"x8" and my new design is 10"x12". I gave it 2 more inches on either side and 4 more inches on top in hopes that it will push the wood all the way through the wedge instead of fraying out. I used 1" plate for the main part of the push plate, the bottom, and where the piston gets through bolted to the plate. On top of the plate, at 45 degree angles down to the piston i used 3/8" plate. I Secured the plate to the bottom wear strips with 7/16"x2-1/2" grade 8 fine thread bolts. I'm hoping the 1/2"x2" flat bar on the bottom is thick enough to keep from wearing out too quick. If i find that it is not, All i will have to do is get longer bolts and use 1"x2" flat bar.
Please let me know what you guys think and maybe what i could have done different.
