I'm looking at a Front Endloader Log Splitter attachment (36-inch upside down, 30 ton, wheel to wheel skid-steer log splitter) see link for details:
Skid Steer Log Splitter 30 Ton 36" Opening | FREE Shipping 3036
I plan on putting this on a Kubota L5030 Front Endloader and using the rear remotes to power it. I have a Super Splitter which does a great job and is very fast which makes production scream. The issue is as I get older picking up those large pieces really takes a toll and every year a large percentage of my wood is to big to pick up. I work alone most of the time and the thoughts of having a splitter on my tractor to bust up the larger pieces so I can easily pick up them up and feed them into the Super Splitter sounds like a great idea to me and my back.
The issue/questions for those who have one of these is as follows:
1. Since it is on a tractor front endloader instead of a skid-steer will manuverability be a severe hinderance?
2. Based on a 9.7 GPM flow of hydraulic fluid from the tractor, any idea on cycle times?
3. I was thinking of getting the 4-way wedge since my only concern is getting the big ones split up for handling?
4. How is visibility on what your doing from the cab, from the pictures it looks excellent?
Any advise or opinions would be appreciated, thanks for the help.
