30 Ton 30" Open Upside Down Skid Steer Log Splitter with 4 Way Wedge (SSUD30-32-4)

30 Tons of Force • 30" Opening • Permanent 4-Way Wedge • Split Large Logs Without Leaving the Cab

Take the hard work out of processing oversized rounds with the RAM SPLITTER SSUD30-32-4 Upside Down Skid Steer Log Splitter. Designed to mount upside down on your skid steer, this heavy-duty attachment lets you pick up and split logs directly from the ground without lifting them by hand or leaving the operator’s seat.

With 30 tons of ram force, an extended 30-inch opening, rugged 6" × 3" tubular steel beam, and a permanent 4-way wedge made from 4140 hardened steel, the SSUD30-32-4 is built for serious firewood production, land clearing, storm cleanup, and other demanding wood-processing applications.

The extended opening makes this version especially useful for operators processing longer firewood, while the upside-down design allows the skid steer to handle the lifting and positioning.

For added convenience, hydraulic hoses and standard flat-face quick disconnects are included for easier hookup to compatible skid steers.

Key Features & Benefits

• 30 Tons of Splitting Force
  Delivers approximately 60,000 lbs. of ram force for demanding log-splitting applications.

• 30" Log Opening
  Extended opening provides additional clearance for longer logs and firewood compared with the standard-length configuration.

• Upside Down Skid Steer Design
  Bring the splitter directly to the log and process heavy rounds while they remain on the ground.

• Permanent 4-Way Wedge Included
  Heavy-duty 4140 hardened steel 4-way wedge divides compatible logs into four pieces in a single stroke to help increase firewood production.

• 5" × 30" Hydraulic Cylinder
  Extended-stroke cylinder provides the additional travel required for the 30-inch opening while maintaining the splitter's 30-ton rating.

• Heavy-Duty Tubular Steel Beam
  Constructed with a 6" × 3" tubular beam and 3/8" wall thickness for strength and long-term durability.

• Universal Skid Steer Mount
  Equipped with a universal skid steer mounting plate for compatibility with common quick-attach systems.

• Dual Quick-Attach Handles
  Includes 2 quick-attach handles for secure attachment to the host machine.

• Hoses & Flat-Face Disconnects Included
  Hydraulic hoses and standard flat-face quick couplers are included for added convenience.

• Made in the USA
  Built for rugged use and dependable long-term performance.

• Durable Black Safety Finish
  Protective painted finish helps guard the attachment against outdoor exposure.

30" Opening for Longer Logs

The defining feature of the SSUD30-32-4 is its extended 30-inch opening.

A 5" × 30" hydraulic cylinder provides approximately six additional inches of working clearance compared with the standard configuration, making this model a better choice for operators who regularly process longer logs.

The increased opening gives you additional flexibility without sacrificing the 30-ton splitting force or heavy-duty construction of the splitter.

Split Large Logs Without Lifting

One of the biggest advantages of the SSUD30-32-4 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

The design is especially useful for oversized hardwood rounds, storm-damaged trees, land clearing, and high-volume firewood operations.

Permanent 4-Way Wedge for Faster Production

The SSUD30-32-4 includes a permanent 4-way wedge manufactured from 4140 hardened steel.

Rather than producing a single two-way split, the wedge can divide compatible logs into four pieces during one stroke, reducing the number of passes required to produce firewood-sized pieces.

The 4-way configuration can be particularly useful when processing:

• Straight-grained hardwood
• Large rounds
• Wood-stove firewood
• Large seasonal firewood piles
• High-volume commercial firewood

Knotted, irregular, or exceptionally difficult logs may still require repositioning or additional splitting passes.

Heavy-Duty 30-Ton Hydraulic System

The SSUD30-32-4 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 SSUD30-32-4 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
