Jimf413 57 #1 Posted March 27, 2016 Does anyone know if Wheel Horse itself ever produced a log splitter that ran off of the mule drive to turn a pump motor.? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ironhorse1077 21 #2 Posted March 27, 2016 Don't know 'bout a splitter, but I saw what appeared to be a log cutter attachment on the front of a wheelhorse at the Big Show last June. About a 16" chopsaw run off of the PTO if I remember correctly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 58,419 #4 Posted March 27, 2016 I have seen a lot of literature over the years and never seen a Log Splitter option. Not to say that a manufacturer didn't make one with a adaptable mounting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimf413 57 #7 Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks everyone, it has to be a home made version then but Im buying it to go along with my home made saw rig that a friend of mine and I have been building on the rear of a WH Rader 12 that we dug out of a snow bank back in January. I just got the engine running over this past weekend. At some point I will gets some pics on here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may want to take a look at the front mounted tiller that @Ed Kennell made to get some ideas. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, I have a lot of Wheel Horse tractors and Im thinking of mounting it to an 8 HP sitting up on top of the cover cause then its at a good working height and I can drive it from one location to the other. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimf413 57 #11 Posted April 6, 2016 Well I bought the log splitter Saturday that Iv been talking about and my friend Ed and I hooked it up yesterday and I was amazed that it actually works.. We hooked up the pump box on one of my C160's connected all the lines and control cable and started the tractor and put the PTO in motion and off it went. We went home and picked up some chunk wood pretty good sizes and split them all into small peaces. The splitter itself is rather large with a cylinder on it 4" x 36" rated at 40 tons but the pump box is only rated at 5 tons so its rather slow but gets the job done. I will get some photos on as soon as my paid membership is set up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
