I love this thing , On a 32hp deere with a cab , When we really are pushing things we can split 24 hours a day with the cab lights , We have a 4 and 6 way head with a log lift and auto forward and reverse , we can easily split a cord an hour . Fuel consumption seems to be about a quart per hour( per cord ) so I think its abit more thirsty then your gas portable units.
We will see if we can get a picture posted .

My brother's ~9-10 year old Timberwolf. He has added a second single splitter for handling the resplits on the big logs and says his production is up even more than before.

Saturday morning after breakfast I will be on vacation at his place. I'll should be at the controls about 9 am. Happy, happy, joy, joy!

Webie, your fuel consumption seems to be in line with mine. 68HP Massey, running 1500rpms, usually about 1/2GPH. My M Farmall gasser is about a gallon an hour, but it's more convenient when it's below freezing. I can leave it in the woods overnight and it'll start.

Cab tractor...do you have a control outside the cab to let you raise and lower the 3pt for loading big logs? I always thought that was the big advantage to a mounted splitter. Getting in and out of the cab would suck.

nice welds samurai.

yeah I have a three-point and I built a little ramp for big boy logs that lips up on the beam and I can kick out of the way and it IS a lifesaver let me tell you.

No my control is in the cab But I have the log lift on the splitter , which works great , also is a duel purpose if you may need to resplit which is seldom . Mounted splitter does have advantages , Its certainly easy to move around and to be able to adjust your work height .

Had an emergency tree take down today, so I didn't get to try my new splitter. I took Freehandslabber's prodding and took some pictures. Hope to run it tomorrow.

And then post the pics.......




And then harvest the ________________.

Ive got a 15 y/o and a 13 y/o.... Other than consuming alot of groceries, they kinda push each other. turn them loose on a pile of wood does wonders...
when they stop complaining and whining.

its not the biggest or the baddest but it gets the job done. the upside down splitter on the t300 for the monsters might be the biggest and the baddest. this is my first time posting pictures so be patient

Here is mine when it was a stand alone unit and now part of my processor. Speed and power both impressive. Hydraulic 4 way that drops out of the way for two way split. Auto cycle valve. Comfortable work height. I think the cylinder is 6" It is now intigrated into my processor but I can still use it just as a splitter and even still have a log lift attached. Dont have a good up dated pic of the processor to show but here it is when first out of the shop.

Excellent and excellent big guy. I appreciate the love and respect you have for the machinery that works this time, and everytime!!
