WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT OUR WOOD SPLITTER
CA
Todd - I wanted to send an update on my recently purchased wood chipper, trencher and wood spitter. We just used the wood chipper today and I have to say I’m amazed on how awesome it works! Being able to chip trees upon taking them down is fabulous. I will be looking at your other products in future. My next task is to use the splitter and trencher and already know they will perform as advertised because of the craftsmanship of your products.

Jeremy, Thanks for the follow up email. The splitter is amazing…very well built and will split anything. Not sure how I split 10-12 cords of wood a year without it! Thanks,
Commonly Asked Questions
There are a few differences between the horizontal and vertical skid loader wood splitters. The first key difference lies in splitting orientation. A horizontal skid loader wood splitter operates horizontally while the vertical wood splitter for skid steer operates flexibly in vertical and horizontal directions. The second difference lies in the operation. The horizontal splitter is controlled from within the cab, providing convenience to the operator. However, the vertical splitter requires manual operation from outside the cab via lever, offering more hands-on control for specific tasks.
Both wedge styles of these professional wood splitters offer distinct advantages to suit different needs. The 2-way wedge is ideal for splitting larger wood chunks, making it better suited for high-volume processing or tasks requiring bigger splits. On the other hand, the 4-way wedge is perfect for producing smaller wood pieces, offering efficiency and convenience when finer splitting is required. Choosing the right wedge style of professional wood splitter depends on the specific size and type of wood you need to process.
This wood splitter for skid steer runs at 12 GPM, making it the perfect fit for most standard flow machines. With this flow rate, the splitter delivers an impressive 20 tons of splitting force, ensuring powerful and efficient performance for a wide range of wood-splitting tasks.
Using a skid loader wood splitter involves several safety precautions to ensure its safe and efficient operation. Here’s a list of precautions:
- Read the operator’s manual for the skid loader and the wood splitter attachment.
- Check the skid loader and the wood splitter attachment for any signs of wear and tear, damage, and defects.
- When using a skid loader wood splitter, use appropriate PPE like safety glasses, goggles, steel-toed boots, heavy-duty gloves, hearing protection, and so on.
- Check hydraulic connections to ensure their security.
- Ensure the work area is free of obstacles, debris, and bystanders.
Yes, our skid steer wood splitter attachments are generally compatible with most skid loader models, but compatibility depends on key factors. Ensure your skid loader’s hydraulic flow (GPM) and pressure (PSI) match the splitter’s requirements, and confirm it uses a universal quick-attach system. The weight and size of the splitter must fit within your skid loader’s lifting capacity. Verify the auxiliary hydraulics and electrical connections (if applicable) are compatible. Some brands may require adapters for proprietary systems. Consult the manufacturer’s specifications or contact them directly with your skid loader’s make and model to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Our skid steer wood splitter attachments can handle various types of wood depending on the splitter’s power, capacity, and design. For instance, they are used for handling different types of hardwoods, including oak, maple, hickory, walnut, and cherry; softwoods, including pine, spruce, and cedar; knotted and difficult woods, including elm, sycamore, and cottonwood, and green and seasoned wood.
