Skid Loader-Mounted Wood Splitter, Tree Shear, Limb-Trimmer
“Our new skid loader-mounted wood splitter can be set up three different ways to do different jobs. It can split wood, shear standing trees and haul them away, and prune tree limbs up to 16 ft. high. It’s a multi-purpose machine that gives you a lot of value for your money,” says Nathan Messer, Messer Repair & Fabricating LLC, Sauk Centre, Minn.
The machine quick-taches to the skid loader arms and is equipped with a 10-in. tall, 4-way splitter blade and a 5-in. dia., 36-in. long hydraulic cylinder that can split logs up to 36 in. long. The vertical part of the 4-way splitter blade is welded to the boom.
The operator can split wood with the boom mounted sideways or in an outstretched position. An angled steel brace is used to reinforce the boom whenever it’s in the outstretched position.
The 4-way splitter blade consists of a single vertical blade welded onto the boom, with a cross blade that bolts onto it. With the boom mounted sideways, the operator can unbolt the cross blade and bolt a U-shaped push bar/catcher onto the boom, allowing him to shear trees up to 8 in. in dia. at ground level and also catch them and haul them away.
The boom can also be used to prune tree limbs up to 16 ft. high. The operator just removes the horizontal part of the splitter blade, then raises the boom and extends the hydraulic cylinder.
“It allows you to do a lot of different jobs at a very reasonable price,” says Messer. “You have a good view with all operations in front of you. The nice thing about having the boom in an outstretched position is that you can grab a piece of wood, lift it over a trailer or wood pile, split it, and drop the pieces directly onto the trailer or wood pile.
“The push bar/catcher helps protect both the machine and the operator when shearing trees. It also catches the tree so you can place it wherever you want it.”
The wood splitter/tree shear sells for $2,875 plus $125 shipping and handling.
