30 Ton Horizontal / Vertical Tractor 3-Point Log Splitter (3PT30HV)

American Made • Horizontal / Vertical Operation • Built for Serious Tractor-Powered Splitting

The Ram Splitter 3PT30HV is a heavy-duty, American-made 30 ton tractor 3-point log splitter built for serious firewood production. Designed for durability and long-term use, this splitter is a true workhorse for tractor owners who need the flexibility to split in both horizontal and vertical positions.

The vertical mode is especially useful for oversized rounds that are too heavy to lift onto the beam, while the horizontal position keeps routine splitting efficient and comfortable. With its heavy-duty tubular beam, 10-inch wedge, and 5" x 24" cylinder, the 3PT30HV is built to handle demanding splitting jobs with confidence.

This model is designed to run from your tractor’s hydraulic system, with actual tonnage and cycle time depending on your tractor’s hydraulic PSI and GPM. For best performance, a minimum 12 GPM flow rate is recommended. If your tractor is not properly equipped, an optional self-contained PTO kit is available.

Please allow 2–4 weeks ship-out time.

Well made splitter

Very pleased with the build quality and performance of this splitter. Could have used metal straps to hold it in position on pallets. The plastic straps were broken and splitter had rolled almost off the pallet. Also, it would be great if it had support frame to raise it up high enough to connect to 3 pt hitch. Support frame would be great option to offer.

HD Well Put Together

From the time it shipped to arrival was approx. two weeks. Fed Ex was prompt on scheduling a delivery time, informing me it was coming on a freight truck. Product was undamaged in shipping. The description of what comes with the splitter is accurate. The hose ends actually comes with hose ready for fittings to be installed. Follow the recommendations on what is needed to function the size of splitter you want to use on a 3 pt setup using the tractors hyd. I ran some 10” rounds of apple, locust, (hard wood) pine, birch (soft wood) ops checked good. My tractor NH TV 140 has a self regulating pump up to 30 gal a minutes at 2500 rpm, which I run at about 1200 rpm and it is fast enough at 10 to 12 seconds of cycle time. Product looks like it will stand the test of time as long as I use common sense.

I have an old 8N and like in photo and noticed the low operation height in the photo. That would kill my back. Is the splitting height adjustable?

Wood Splitter Direct

Hello,

It depends on the tractor. It will raise and lower to the height the tractor will allow on the 3 point arms. I am not sure if the photo for that particular tractor is showing the maximum height the 3 point is raised or not. You can raise your arms and get an idea how high it will be.

Thanks,

WSD
