30 Ton Upside Down Skid Steer Log Splitter Attachment 4 Way Wedge (SSUD30-4)

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

Take the hard work out of processing oversized rounds with the RAM SPLITTER SSUD30-4 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, a rugged 6" × 3" tubular steel beam, and an included 4-way wedge made from 4140 hardened steel, the SSUD30-4 is built for serious firewood production, land clearing, storm cleanup, and other demanding wood-processing applications.

The upside-down design allows the skid steer to do the lifting and positioning, making it especially useful for large, heavy rounds that are difficult or unsafe to handle manually.

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

Split Large Logs Without Lifting

One of the biggest advantages of the SSUD30-4 is its upside-down configuration.

Instead of lifting a heavy round onto a conventional splitter, simply position the skid steer over the log, lower the splitter into place, and let the 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 large firewood operations.

4-Way Wedge for Faster Firewood Production

The included permanent 4-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 four pieces during one stroke, helping reduce the number of passes needed to produce firewood-sized pieces.

This can be particularly useful when processing:

• Straight-grained hardwood
• Large rounds
• Firewood for wood stoves
• High-volume firewood piles

Knotted or irregular logs may still require repositioning or additional passes.

Heavy-Duty 30-Ton Hydraulic System

The SSUD30-4 uses a 5" × 24" hydraulic cylinder to deliver its published 30-ton splitting force.

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.

Optional 30" Opening Upgrade

Need additional clearance for longer logs?

An optional 30" opening configuration (SSUD30-32-4) uses a 5" × 30" hydraulic cylinder, increasing the opening by approximately 6 inches.

This upgrade is ideal for operators who routinely process longer wood.

Ideal Applications

The RAM SSUD30-4 is well suited for:

• Firewood businesses
• Farms and ranches
• Large rural properties
• Tree-service operations
• Storm cleanup
• Land clearing
• Property maintenance
• Large hardwood rounds
• Skid steer owners
• High-volume firewood processing
