That's what others have in mind, including myself.

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.

[ About Us ] Hence, a 20-ton or a 32-ton model will need close to 3,000PSI of hydraulic fluid pressure to operate at its maximum capacity. Exceeding the log splitter’s upper PSI limit can damage it. That’s why measuring your tractor’s hydraulic fluid pressure is necessary before buying a log splitter. AccessoriesA professional piece of equipment like the Wallenstein WX330 will ensure you can split all lumber types without difficulty. Its cycle time isn’t the fastest, as the machine needs around 30 seconds to complete a cycle.

Total flow refers to the tractor’s hydraulic fluid flow. Its value is measured in gallons per minute (GPM). Most log splitters need at least 4 GPM to function normally. Some where I read about a guy who made a thing for his 3 point to pull small trees out. He even had a drawing of it and now I don't know where I seen It . Has anyone else seen this Although they cannot enhance the machine’s performance capabilities, accessories can make using a tractor log-splitter easier.A 22-ton log splitter needs around ten seconds to cut a 24-inch long log while operating at the tractor’s maximum GPM. Its cycle shortens at lower GPM values, so a machine could need up to thirty seconds to split a tree trunk at 4 GPM. 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. Pin options that enable you to use a log splitter with different categories of tractor hitches are available for some models.

Also, the manufacturer doesn’t offer stands or other accessories for the log splitter. Pros

In this article, I’ll introduce you to some of the best 3-point hitch log splitters and take you through their essential characteristics. Bottom Line Up Front 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. 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. Coupling this log splitter with a tractor that has 4GPM hydraulic fluid flow will limit its cycle time to 28 seconds. However, the machine is much more efficient when used at 12GPM, as it needs just nine seconds to split the log. Pros

My Top Picks at a Glance

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. Carrying a conventional log splitter into the forest is inconvenient, which is why I prefer to use a 3-point hitch log splitter that can run on my tractor’s hydraulics system. The features of these machines aren’t much different from those on kinetic or electric log splitters. Its steel 2-way wedge can split all types of lumber with ease, and you’ll need up to 15 seconds to split a log with a 25-inch diameter. What’s more, the machine has an auto-return valve, so you don’t have to wait until it completes its cycle to prepare a new log. Pros In my opinion, flexibility, power, and affordability are the biggest advantages the Boss Industrial 3-Point Log Splitter offers. The machine is compatible with 1, 2, and 3 hitch categories, but you shouldn’t use it with tractors that have hydraulic fluid pressure under 8GPM.
