tractor log splitter to self powered

[hoddykubody]

Am considering switching my 3 point hitch log splitter to a type that has an axle and like a honda 5 or 9 horse motor with axle maybe being the reservoir tank any pics of anyone elses . Just would like to convert this one rather than buy new.

You could perhaps weld something like this to your axle.

You could also build one using 2, U channel or box tubing and weld on fittings and axle stubs on the ends.

Thanks JJ I am going to start getting things together for it today. As crazy as it sounds I would be doing this modification to save the hours on m,y new tractor. Thanks again

Whoever ends up with that tractor after you die will appreciate the extra 100 hrs.
