3-Pt Splitter With Log Hopper

3-Pt Splitter with Log Hopper WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 15-5-23 "We think it's the most efficient log splitter ever built," says Nico Sieling, inventor and manufacturer of a new 3-pt. mounted split-ter with a built-in dump hopper. An A-frame splitter mounts on the side of the hopper. Its large 2 1/2-in. dia. cylinder mounts vertically, pressed against a 3 ft. wide hard surfaced splitting blade mounted at an angle within the A-frame. One end of the blade is mounted in a fixed position while the other end has a steel roller that moves up and down the side of the A-frame. A second blade criss crosses the long blade in the center to split chunks into four pieces at once. "It's a powerful design that lets it split the hardest wood and the biggest chunks," says Sieling. The split chunks fall into the hop-per, which raises up 10 to 12 ft. to dump. That's high enough to reach over the sides of most trucks. Sells for $3,500.
