Its not so much case of the best splitter
as the log splitter is only as able
split firewood as the tractor has the
available fluid power to deliver to the
remotes on the tractor for the implement.
The three point splitters are limited because of the
"X" amount of oil the tractor can deliver to the implement.
The cylinders have to be small because of the limited
hydraulic fluid available reservoir and the pressure
is limited to the tractors system pressure and no more is
available unless the relief settings are changed and raised
upward which will also affect the steering, braking and a
front loaders available power which could also force the fluid
to be dumped back to the tank from the loader relief valve(s).

DMF,
What are you looking for in a 3pt splitter?
Speed, power, brand names such as Prince valves, Gates hoses, welded or tie rod cyl, color, etc.
There are thousands or splitters out there.
3pt splitters are not limited as to force. They are just as capable as the others.
GPM's determines the speed of operation.

I bought the Speeco Splitmaster from TSC and while I'm certain it's probably not the best splitter,it hasn't given any problems and has split anything that I have put on it with ease, so maybe it is the best splitter, but it definately is not the fastest.

Assuming you are using a small tractor with limited hydraulic supply, a two way splitter like the Northern Tool Power Horse models is a very valuable feature - doubles the work speed.

I'd be using this on my MF 1552, 19.6 GPM total flow; output = 12.8 GPM.
Sorry, I should have been more specific!
I want something that is powerful, at least a 26" working range, fast cycle time (which is dependent on my tractor)....anything else I'd want...?

The little "wings" next to the splitting beam and then a flat area of metal from the splitter head extending out.
For example you split a large round, you hold onto half and the other half slides onto the table instead of dropping to the ground. Now you just slide it back instead of having to pick it up.
