If you are tired of splitting wood the old fashioned way, then a skid steer wood splitter might be a great option for you and your wood splitting needs. Much like a electric or gas powered hydraulic wood splitter, the skid steer log splitter is an efficient way to split wood without overworking yourself splitting it by hand. The difference with a skid steer splitter is that it attaches to some type of front loading construction vehicle, such as a bobcat.
The first thing you will need when you are shopping for a skid steer log splitter is a bobcat or similar. If you have invested in one of these, then the majority of your focus should be on finding the right skid steer attachment.
One of the biggest pros to opting for a skid steer attachment for your log splitting needs is the price difference that comes into play when comparing them to an electric or gas powered log splitter. A top of the line electric log splitter can run you up to $1,900 while a gas powered hydraulic splitter can cost as much as $7,000. If you are in the market for the higher end splitters that will get the job done, a skid steer attachment is a great route.
Products like these 20 Ton Skid Steer Log Splitter Attachments are some of the highest quality models on the market today. With a universal mounting plate, this 485 pound attachment can connect to any front loading construction vehicle and comes with customizable wedges and opening sizes.
Another great option if your looking for more tonnage or power is the 30 ton skid steer attachments. An outstanding option for those wanting to use their skid loader for powering a splitter. These units are completely customizable in everything from upside down, horizontal vertical to bigger opening sizes.
The cons to this type of wood splitting is you are limited to where you can take your log splitter since you have to take your skid loader with you. If you looking for a more portable log splitter then a self contained unit with a tow package may be more suitable.
If you are looking for a high end splitter to get the larger jobs done more efficiently and you don't plan having to be so mobile, look no further than these skid loader log splitter attachments.
