Puller 3 Points Articulated 8 "30-210

Product Information

Some models draw power through the Power Take-Off in addition to the hydraulics system, and they require special conversion kits that are usually sold separately. Here's some text that goes with the picture DuaneinNY posted on 2-11-02 (I copied it from the same place he got the picture): Some models can only split lumber horizontally or vertically, while just a few 3-point hitch log splitters let users choose the log orientation. Tractor Compatibility Nope it was here, it's called a Brush Brute. They are fantastic at removing any kind of woody plant less than about 4' in diameter. ....

When drawing equipment forces from the lower arms are below the rear axel's center line. The links pivot allowing a portion of the load to be transfered to the upper link. The upper link is much higher than the center point of the rear axel. The pulling load on the arms is then transferred to the upper link placing it in compression. This force is the applied to push the front down as the tractor pulls the implement forward. Moreover, popular brands like Craftsman or Kohler don’t include 3-point hatch log splitters in their product lineups. Prices and Warranties This RuggedMade model cannot split logs wider than 18 inches in diameter, and its maximum stroke length is 24 inches. Limiting the strong length to 20-inches and shortening its cycle time can help you work faster when splitting large piles of firewood. Pros As a country girl, I do most of the work on our proprety with a tractor. The tractor (a Kubota LX 3310 to be precise) is adjusted for forest use, and I often transport and split logs with it.Choosing a log splitter you can power with a tractor will be much easier if you already have a good understanding of 3-point hitch categories. These categories indicate the size of attachments suitable for a tractor. Most 3-point hitch log splitters aren’t universal because they’re designed for specific hitch categories. In addition, your tractor’s hydraulic fluid flow and pressure rate must meet the tool’s minimum requirements.

Unfortunately in todays age there are a lot of attachments that are using the 3 pt for more than tillage implements and the forces on the tractor are not as initially intended. The machine’s I-beam construction ensures the lumber cannot bend or twist even when a high amount of force is applied. Despite weighing over 400lbs, the Powerhorse 3-point log splitter is portable. Pros

Although they cannot enhance the machine’s performance capabilities, accessories can make using a tractor log-splitter easier. You won’t find many better options than the Split-Fire Log Splitter 4203 if you need a heavy-duty log splitter with short cycle times. On average, its 24-inch long and 4.5-inch cylinder needs ten seconds to cut through a log if the machine is connected to a hydraulic system with 2,900 PSI of pressure. s were invented to reduce tractor overturns, but they depend on implements designed to rotate on their lower link pins to produce compression in the top-link. Simply pulling from the lower links is done all the time, but operators should be aware of the risks taken. Their force is measured in tons, and it varies from 15 and 35 tons. However, most options you’ll find on the market have between 20 and 25 tons, and they’re powerful enough to split seasoned and green logs. Although rare, 40-ton options are also available.
