Puller 3 Points Articulated 8 "30-210

Product Information

The machine’s I-beam construction ensures the lumber cannot bend or twist even when a high amount of force is applied. Despite weighing over 400lbs, the Powerhorse 3-point log splitter is portable. Pros 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. However, the hydraulic fluid’s flow rate isn’t the only parameter that affects the machine’s performance, as the force it can apply to a log and the amount of time it needs to split a log also depend on the hydraulic fluid pressure while the tractor is running.

The fingers are 15 inches total length (that leaves 12 inches protruding from the crossbar) and are made of1/2X3 flatbar. Log splitters are compatible with 1, 2, and 3 hitch categories, which means you can use them with tractors that have between 20 and 225 HP. Also, the lift arm pin diameter can help you determine your tractor’s 3-point hitch category. Also, this log splitter needs at least 8GPM of hydraulic flow to function, and you can maximize its speed by connecting it to a tractor whose hydraulic system can supply 20GPM. ProsSo, which 3-point hitch log splitter is the best match for your tractor? Well, that depends on the properties of your tractor’s hydraulic system. 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. I've a slight qualification for David's comment. I think it depends if the tow point is the 3ph (which is the original question) or the drawbar. I believe most safety stuff says that the drawbar is the only point designed for towing. Towing from the 3ph does risk a wheely. Much of the potential work for such a device around here would be pine or spruce saplings that have sizable limbs to the ground. I wonder how it is working through limbs and how easily the saplings are to remove from the tractor after pulling.

This RuggedMade model cannot split logs wider than 18 inches in diameter, and its maximum stroke length is 24 inches. Limiting the strong length to 20-inches and shortening its cycle time can help you work faster when splitting large piles of firewood. Pros A 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.

Some models can only split lumber horizontally or vertically, while just a few 3-point hitch log splitters let users choose the log orientation. Tractor Compatibility 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. Just things to think about. I seem to recall a similar single jawed device with hydraulics. I think it was supposed to snip off saplings rather than pull them. I sort of wonder about that one too. Full of wonder today I guess. Maybe my wife will tell me I'm wonderful.
