I guess it was back in the late 80's, a buddy of mine was making extra money w/ a side job selling firewood.
So, we decided to increase production.
We came across a used motor driven, hydraulic operated, trailer mounted log splitter unit. Had a small 4-cyl car motor mounted on it.
It worked for a while, split a lot of logs, then at some point the hydr pump stopped working.
Eventually we figured out were to get pump parts for it.
Got it fixed, back up running, split a bunch more logs.
At some point I lost interest, and it sat for a year or two, then gave it to a friend of the family.

It looked a lot like this pic I found online, but ours had a longer trailer frame with the 4-cyl motor mounted on it also.

Don't forget tugboat guy. Tugboat guy at a minimum gets a wildcard spot in these wacky purchase play-offs.

This one down in Louisiana is owned by the family that owns/runs Drago's Seafood Restaurants.
Both recreational use and business promo use.

Some pics included here of useful recreational mods to do to your firetruck, ...Louisiana style!
