30 Tons of Force • 30" Opening • 6-Way Wedge Included • Split Large Logs Without Leaving the Cab
The Ram Splitter SSUD30-32-6 Upside Down Skid Steer Log Splitter is built for serious wood processing and oversized log handling. Designed to mount upside down on your skid steer, this splitter lets you pick up and split large logs directly from the ground without lifting them by hand or leaving the cab.
With 30 tons of ram force, an extended 30-inch opening, a heavy-duty 6" × 3" tubular steel beam, and an included 6-way wedge made from 4140 hardened steel, this attachment is designed to help you split faster and process more wood in less time.
The extended 30" opening gives you additional clearance for longer logs, while the 6-way wedge helps increase productivity by producing multiple pieces in a single stroke.
For added convenience, this unit also includes hydraulic hoses and standard flat-face quick disconnects for easier hookup to compatible skid steers.
Key Features & Benefits
-
30 Tons of Splitting Force
Delivers approximately 60,000 lbs. of ram force for oversized logs and heavy-duty splitting applications. -
30" Opening
Extended opening provides additional clearance for longer firewood and larger processing applications. -
Upside Down Skid Steer Design
Bring the splitter directly to the log and process heavy rounds while they remain on the ground. -
6-Way Wedge Included
Heavy-duty 4140 hardened steel wedge helps divide compatible logs into multiple pieces in a single pass for greater firewood productivity. -
5" × 30" Hydraulic Cylinder
Extended-stroke cylinder provides the travel required for the 30-inch opening while delivering dependable splitting performance. -
Heavy-Duty Tubular Steel Beam
Built with a 6" × 3" tubular beam and 3/8" wall thickness for strength and long-term durability. -
Universal Skid Steer Mount
Includes a universal skid steer mounting plate for compatibility with common quick-attach systems. -

Black Safety Finish
Durable painted finish helps protect the attachment and maintain a professional appearance.
30" Opening for Longer Logs
The SSUD30-32-6 uses a 5" × 30" hydraulic cylinder to provide an extended 30-inch opening.
This gives you approximately six additional inches of clearance compared with the standard-length version, making it a better fit for operators who regularly process longer logs.
The extended opening adds flexibility without changing the splitter's 30-ton force rating or heavy-duty beam construction.
Split Large Logs Without Lifting
One of the biggest advantages of the SSUD30-32-6 is its upside-down configuration.
Instead of lifting a heavy round onto a conventional splitter, position the skid steer over the log, lower the attachment into place, and let the machine's hydraulic system do the work.
This can help reduce:
- Manual lifting
- Repetitive bending
- Log handling
- Operator fatigue
- Time spent repositioning large rounds
It is especially useful for oversized hardwood rounds, storm-damaged trees, land clearing, and high-volume firewood operations.
6-Way Wedge for High-Volume Firewood Production
The included 6-way wedge is manufactured from 4140 hardened steel for demanding splitting applications.
Rather than making a single two-way split, the wedge can divide compatible logs into multiple pieces during one stroke, helping reduce the number of passes needed to produce firewood-sized pieces.
This can be especially useful for:
- High-volume firewood production
- Straight-grained hardwood
- Large rounds
- Commercial firewood operations
- Wood-stove fuel
- Large seasonal firewood piles
Knotted or irregular logs may still require repositioning or additional passes.
Heavy-Duty 30-Ton Hydraulic System
The SSUD30-32-6 uses a 5" × 30" hydraulic cylinder to deliver its published 30-ton splitting force and extended opening.
Because the attachment operates from the skid steer’s hydraulic system, there is no separate:
- Gas engine
- Hydraulic pump
- Fuel tank
- Standalone hydraulic reservoir
Cycle speed will depend on the hydraulic flow supplied by the host machine.
Ideal Applications
The RAM SSUD30-32-6 is well suited for:
- Firewood businesses
- Farms and ranches
- Large rural properties
- Tree-service operations
- Storm cleanup
- Land clearing
- Property maintenance
- Large hardwood rounds
- Longer firewood lengths
- Skid steer owners
- High-volume firewood processing
