3-Pt. Mounted Log Splitter
 |
The rail serves as the splitter's main beam and is turned upside down. A single blade with spreader fins welds in place at the far end of the rail, and a vertical metal bracket that attaches to the 3-pt. is welded to the other end. The bracket supports a 4 by 24-in. hydraulic cylinder attached to a 2-in. ram, as well as a control valve. The cylinder operates off tractor hydraulics.
To use the splitter, Seltzer simply lowers the rail to ground level.
"I built it in 1979 and have used it to split a lot of logs. It'll take logs up to 20 in. long," notes Seltzer.
