30 Tons of Splitting Force • 25" Log Capacity • Universal Quick Attach • Hydraulic Hoses and Flat-Face Couplers Included

Turn your skid steer into a powerful firewood-processing machine with the RamSplitter SSH30 Skid Steer Log Splitter Attachment. Powered by the skid steer’s auxiliary hydraulic system, the SSH30 delivers up to 30 tons of splitting force without requiring a separate gasoline engine, hydraulic pump, or fuel supply.

The standard horizontal model uses a heavy-duty 5" × 24" welded hydraulic cylinder, tubular steel beam, and 10-inch hardened-steel wedge to split logs measuring up to 25 inches long. Hydraulic hoses with flat-face quick-connect couplers are included for convenient connection to compatible skid steers.

Key Features & Benefits

  • 30 Tons of Splitting Force
    Produces up to 60,000 lbs. of ram force for processing demanding hardwood and softwood logs.
  • Powered by Your Skid Steer
    Uses the host machine’s auxiliary hydraulic system, eliminating the maintenance and fueling requirements of a separate engine-powered splitter.
  • 5" × 24" Hydraulic Cylinder
    The heavy-duty welded cylinder provides a 24-inch stroke and accommodates logs up to 25 inches long.
  • 10" Hardened-Steel Wedge
    The tall single wedge provides a substantial splitting surface for large rounds and difficult grain patterns.
  • Heavy-Duty Tubular Beam
    The 6" × 3" tubular beam with a 6-inch top plate provides a strong foundation for demanding splitting work.
  • Universal Quick-Attach Mounting Plate
    Connects to compatible skid steers using the common two-locking-handle quick-attach system.
  • Detent Auto-Return Control Valve
    Automatically retracts the cylinder after the control lever is released, allowing the operator to prepare for the next split.
  • Hydraulic Hoses and Couplers Included
    Supplied with wire-reinforced hydraulic hoses and flat-face quick-disconnect couplers.
  • Horizontal or Horizontal/Vertical Configurations
    Choose the standard horizontal model or an optional configuration that can split in both horizontal and vertical positions.
  • Made in the USA
    Manufactured in Rockford, Illinois, by an American, veteran-owned log-splitter manufacturer.

Skid Steer-Powered Performance

The SSH30 does not have its own engine or hydraulic pump. Splitting speed and cycle time depend on the hydraulic flow and operating characteristics of the skid steer supplying power.

Once attached, connect the included hydraulic hoses to compatible auxiliary hydraulic outlets and operate the splitter using the skid steer’s hydraulic system. Confirm hydraulic compatibility, coupler size, flow direction, pressure, and return requirements before placing an order. The supplied product sources do not publish a required GPM range or minimum skid steer pressure.

Available Configurations and Options

Horizontal Model

The standard SSH30 operates in the horizontal position. Logs rest on the beam while the hydraulic cylinder pushes them into the stationary wedge.

Horizontal/Vertical Upgrade

The optional horizontal/vertical configuration allows the splitter to operate in either position. Vertical operation makes it possible to roll large rounds into place rather than lifting them onto the beam.

Slip-On 4-Way Wedge

The optional 4-way wedge slips over the standard single wedge to divide compatible logs into four pieces during one stroke. Installing the 4-way wedge reduces the available log opening by approximately 3 inches.

Log Cradles

Optional log cradles help support rounds and split wood. On the horizontal/vertical model, they catch split pieces while the machine is used horizontally, reducing the need to retrieve wood from the ground.

Optional 30" Stroke Cylinder

A 5" × 30" cylinder is available for customers who need additional stroke length. The product sources do not publish the resulting overall length, weight, or maximum log opening for this configuration, so those measurements should be confirmed before ordering.

Case 1840 Mount

A different mounting configuration may be required for the Case 1840. Identify the skid steer model when ordering so the correct mounting plate can be supplied.

Ideal Applications

The RamSplitter SSH30 is well suited for:

  • Farm and ranch firewood processing
  • Commercial and residential woodlot maintenance
  • Splitting large or heavy rounds
  • Storm and land-clearing cleanup
  • Property owners already operating a skid steer
  • Firewood businesses
  • Municipal and grounds-maintenance crews
  • Remote work areas where engine-powered equipment is inconvenient

Important Compatibility Information

The universal mounting plate is intended for skid steers using the common two-handle quick-attach system, but it does not guarantee compatibility with every machine. Before purchasing, verify:

  • Quick-attach mounting style
  • Auxiliary hydraulic flow and pressure
  • Hydraulic flow direction
  • Coupler size and type
  • Attachment weight capacity
  • Operating clearance
  • Whether the skid steer requires standard-flow or another hydraulic configuration

The splitter’s cycle time will vary with the skid steer’s hydraulic output. A higher advertised machine flow does not automatically guarantee proper compatibility unless all components, hoses, couplers and valve ratings match.

Warranty

The SSH30 is covered by a one-year parts warranty. Review the warranty documentation for registration requirements, exclusions and claim procedures.

NOTE: Most products require at least some assembly.
