can anyone who has a three point log splitter post some pictures of how the log splitter attaches to the tractor. My buddy and I are going to build a three point splitter and would like to see how they mount on a tractor. I can't find any close up pictures on the internet
thanks in advance

Mine has a bar that bolts to one end for the 3pt hitch. I just keep mine next to the wood pile where I split the wood. I have never actually attached it to the tractor. Sorry I couldn't help. In the build it yourself forum has some good pics.

Dad was asking me the other day about building one.
I've been kicking it around, one thing u need to figure out is beam size and weight.
Then that w/ size of tractor u can mount it cross ways if too heavy to lift long way.
8' beam is pretty heavy and the length may over load 3 PT.
Also do u want to be able to stand it up so u can roll big pcs. onto it.
This will require a moving wedge and a solid stop.
My present thinking for mine is mount crossway on SSL and flip it down 90* then drive up to BIG chunks and split then flip up and split small stuff.
Looking at 5 or 6 x36" cylinder and valve is all I need.

Picked up this web page somewhere recently.
Seems to be a nice idea for upright or horizontal working

Other than the leg shape and the color of the beam it looks just like the one I got from Tractor Supply Co yesterday.
