3 point log splitter for tractor.

[jkk04]

I purchased this splitter from local craigslist recently for a summer fun project.

I even don't know who made this splitter but it seems like not much use and excellent condition as you can see and sturdy well made.

Surprisingly the splitter works so well, split large size hardwood logs like live oak trees.

And can split the logs at the place I cut for convenience.

It was so fun and a good experiment.

Speeding up video doesn't actually increase cycle time.

Nice splitter I have a 3 point hitch splitter that looks just about like yours , I believe mine is a Speedco , I purchased it from Tractor Supply , three point hitch splitters cycle slower than a stand alone but since I am not in the firewood processing business it's been plenty fast enough for me and one less small gasoline engine to deal with, glad you are enjoying your splitter.

Does yours rotate up so it can be worked vertical?
I used to use one that would and I would get a good sized butt load and set it on the ground,
rotate the splitter to vertical and put the heel plate on the large butt round, then just set the piece to be split
on the heel and split it downward, for some reason that was an easier motion and method for me.
With the heel up on a log at about 24" height it was a convenient height for me to work with.

The people are so bored if I make longer videos.
That is the reason to make a fast speed video in less than 5 minutes.
My videos uploaded to Youtube are all less than 5 minutes.
Thanks.

Actually If I increase throttle speed on the tractor(meaning the hydraulic oil flows fast) the splitting speed is much better like a stand alone splitter surprisingly.
Thank you.

That is correct.
Unfortunately, mine is not.

UNLESS it's powered by the PTO, then it's FAST and kicksazz!

We are dinasours. Apparently video games are the future. All farming, ranching, even warfare will all be done from a couch on video games.
I've been looking for a video game that will put my fencing up for me.
I'm sure I can find one that will do my weeding also.

You are too advanced a guy
I am sure you are talking about the metaverse.
I don't think it will happen in my life but the next generation for sure.

Let me know what you find. I could use some fencing and weeding

What gpm is that Prince pump? They used to sell a 11 gpm model but I don’t see them anymore. Either 6 or 20 if I remember correctly is all I see….

It's 20, so it has very good flow for decent speed. It has been great, even for big crotches like this,

A typical setup from my country. Tractor may vary of course. 3 pt log splitter made in Portugal with foot control. Speed increaser with a commonly available gear pump mounted on the log splitter chassis and just PTO shaft powering form the tractor. For the racing folks, keep in mind the tractor is barely above idle here.

I would have left that right where it dropped and not given it another thought.

And I would have found it and appreciated you leaving it for me. lol

There's LOTS of heat in a crotch like that, and my splitter goes right through them, making nice sized splits for my woodstove.
