Good Log Splitter

[Atimm693]

Its a lot cheaper and easy to build a splitter to run off the back of your tractor hydraulics

Depends on the tractor, some don't have enough flow and take forever to cycle the big ram on a splitter.

No slower than a splitter itself

Log splitter pumps are two stage and flow a lot at low pressure. Mine will do 11 gpm, but most are higher than that.

Like I said, depends on the tractor, but a lot of smaller ones flow less than 10 gpm.

Realistically a splitter on a tractor or a single purpose splitter is slow. Maul and firewood processors are a lot faster so apparently is someone is looking for a splitter speed isn't the priority. :tiphat:

I got this one at JCPenny's new in 1981. It has split probably and average of 10-12 cord a year. The motor was upgraded to an Estate find $25 8 horse and the cylinder has been rebuilt once. It has been pretty reliable. If you want one might check out JCPenny.

Splitters are generally slow but with the two stage pumps there a few out there that say they can do 9.5 seconds or less cycle times. Look at Eastonmade splitters out of Canada, they claim 4.5 seconds on there Ultra model. Looks pretty nice but after calling and figuring out shipping the price tag gets high quickly.

Thanks all my firewood is done with a processor these days I sell several hundred cords a year and it's easier that way

Anybody use or know anything about American CLS or Wolfe Ridge log splitters? They look good machines as well, but kinda spendy compared to box stores, but less than a full processor. It definitely would be something that could be handed down to my son when I'm long worn out.

I have the Troy-Bilt 27 ton that I got from Lowes. Reliable and no troubles.
