30 Ton Upside Down Skid Steer Log Splitter Attachment 6-Way Wedge (SSUD30-6)

30 Tons of Force • 6-Way Wedge Included • Split Large Logs Without Leaving the Cab

The RAM SSUD30-6 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 and without leaving the cab.

With 30 tons of ram force, a heavy-duty 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. It is an ideal solution for firewood operations, landowners, and contractors who want to handle big rounds efficiently while letting the skid steer do the hard work.

For a limited time, this unit also includes hoses and standard flat-face disconnects, making installation easier and adding extra value right out of the box.

Time saver

Used the splitter to split up Red oak logs with an older 763 Bobcat. The wood was fresh cut, green. On bigger diameter logs (12" or more) you need to nip the top to get the logs split then grab log again lower for 6 way split. On smaller logs I would grab the log set on top of another log, release and grab again in order to get smaller log all the way to the top to get a 6 way split. It is definitely messier, leaving more kindling than a traditional splitter. Only a couple items I would change; the side blades have a single bevel on the cutting edge and bent. A double bevel (which I will grind) would be a better option, I think. The push plate could stand to be a little closer to the main wedge as some logs do not clear the 6-way blades. The hoses need a protective cover and a way to clamp them to the splitter to keep them off of the ground.
Overall, a real time saver. Split a 20' trailer load and a half, of green red oak in a few hours and hardly no handling, pushing, pulling or lifting.

Thanks for the pictures and the suggestions! We will pass that information on. Definitely the smaller the rounds with a 6 way wedge will make smaller pieces of firewood and if your a bit off center then some will come out small. Glad to hear you are happy and saving time!

Thanks, WSD

30 Ton Upside Down Skid Steer Log Splitter

splitter works great. your shipper is less than impressive, delivered afterhours no warring left it in the middle of the parking lot.

Hello, glad to hear the splitter works great. We have forwarded your comments to the shipping department so they can let the shipping company know about this.

Shearing Bolts

I purchased the ramsplitter unpside down wood splitter a while back and it continues to shear bolts on the five- bolt pattern push block-any suggestions?

Hi Tony,

Looks like you purchased this a few years ago? We forwarded this to Ram Splitter and they did email you the following response today:

'Hi Tony

I was sent an email telling us you are having issues with the bolts on your log splitter. I did not realize you were having issues with the log splitter. Can you send me some pictures of the problem so I could help you fix it

Thanks

Doug'

Absolutely love the splitter

The only thing I would do differently is make the straight part of the wedge about six inches longer, otherwise it is the best splitter I ever owned!!

Doesn’t split very good

I’m back To using my 27 ton champion manual splitter way faster. Would not split six ways. I think I might cut The other five blades off and just have one down the middle so it Has the power to split at least one log

Corey R. (Great Cacapon, US)
Awesome

This 6 way splitter is great! Strong enough to pick up the tree in the middle so I can cut it up and then it splits very well. My only complaint is that the push plate stops to far from the 6 way splitting wedge. Even red oak gets stuck and I have to push it off with the pile or a small tree by the pile. Other than that I love this attachment. I pick up the log and split while maneuvering to the pile. It splits and loads in one quick maneuver. I have split about 3 cords of wood and am feeling lazy haha.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're so happy to hear that you're loving the 6 way splitter attachment. Keep up the great work and happy wood splitting!

Performed as anticipated.

The only problem I had with the splitter is the wedges are so sharp that they chipped and curled the edges within the first few minutes of use. So far it has split everything I have ran through it.

Hi Lyn, glad to hear your new splitter is tackling your needs. I will pass along to the manufacture your comment about the wedge. Thanks again and please contact us if you need anything else.

Makes my back just smile every time I use it!

This is a nice splitter! It is simplicity itself, and works well. Being a 6 way splitter, it has a little trouble with crotches from cherry trees, but other than that it has split everything I have tried.

It is slow, unless you have a high flow hydraulic system in your skid steer, so you will quickly learn to move the skid steer while the ram is in motion. Bite down on a log, lift and drive it over to the pile while the ram is splitting the log.
Being a 6 way, it has a little trouble clearing the split wood sometimes. It might have been better if all 6 blades were at the same depth. As it is, the vertical blade is about 1 inch forward of the side blades, so the side blades won't always finish the split before the ram runs out of travel. When that happens, I just bounce the log in the pile and give a little side to side motion and it will clear.

If I were making the splitter, I would have fixed it to the quick-attach plate so that the bar could go a few more degrees above vertical. As it is, it gets up about 5 degrees on my Bobcat 763F. If the log you are picking up to split is slightly uphill of the skid steer, the thrust plate will only just catch the top edge of the log. More up angle would help that.

The splitter is shipped upside down on an 8 foot long pallet. You cannot just hitch up to your skid steer's quick attach and lift it off of the delivery truck. It didn't have to be that way.

Over all, I am happy to have bought it, and think it will last a very long time.

Thanks for the review Chuck. Glad to hear you are happy with skid loader splitter!

NOT SO TOUGH

WORKS AS EXPECTED BUT THE RAM PUSH PLAT NEEDS TO BE THICKER AND REINFORCED ON LOWER CORNERS

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate it! We will pass your suggestion along to the manufacture.

Makes Fires Great Again

What a pleasure to operate this unit and be able to have the daily fires for evening enjoyment. This unit does what it says, multiple splits at a time. That's good as it is a little slow as the cylinder is large. But, the cylinder being large also allows it to jump on stubborn logs and not hang up or refuse to get the split accomplished.
Make sure you tell Wood Splitters what unit it will be going on so they can send you the correct length hoses.

Hi Andy,

Glad you like your new purchase! The bigger the tonnage you buy, the slower the cycle time will be. Depending on your machines hydraulic output in GMP will depend on how fast you can split a piece of wood. Thanks for taking the time to review!

Splitters rocks

Worth every nickel…. Do believe it could use another set of wedges on it.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your review. 6 way wedge is the maximum you would want to use in our opinion. Thank you for your business!

30 Ton Upside Down Skid Steer Log Splitter Attachment 6 Way Wedge (SSUD30-6Way)

30 ton skid steer splitter works very well

I just received my 30 Ton Upside Down Skid Steer Log Splitter Attachment 6 Way Wedge (SSUD30-6Way). I attached it to my Case 450 and connected the hydraulic hoses very easily. I did have to cut the attachment holes a little bigger by about 1/4" to fit my loader attachment. Then I was off to splitting wood. So far I'm very impressed with the power and ease of use. Large clean and knotty logs split easily into 6 pieces and the pieces fell out of the wedges with no more than a couple of bounces of the loader arms. The splitter seems very solid, the welds look good, and the hydraulic hoses and ends are good quality. Made in USA! I'm looking forward to splitting wood for once!!

ROBERT

just asking will this fit a Gehl 165? are the hoses included to fit this machine

Wood Splitter Direct

Hello, the Gehl 165 looks to have plenty of HP and flow to operate this splitter.

Thanks, WSD

p
phillip S.

I got a 2022 Kubota SSV75. Standard flow of 20gallons/min and 30gallon/min high flow. Would using high flow damage the splitter. High flow because of faster log splitting operation?

Wood Splitter Direct

Hello, Good question. It is not recommend to use high flow as you could do some damage eventually to the cylinder. 20 GPM is plenty of flow. This will run the cycle time at a good pace.

T
Tim P.R.

I have a Case 1845 which is suppose to put out 2300 psi. Will this work for me

Wood Splitter Direct

Hello,

As long as you have the universal mounting plate/system and you have a flow rate of 15GPM or higher then this should work just fine. The higher the flow rate the faster the cycle time or split speed you will have.

Thanks, WSD

R
Roger D.

How much hydraulic flow is required? I was wondering if it would work on my 7.8 gpm 45 hp tractor.

Wood Splitter Direct

Hi Roger,

No I would not recommend this unit with a tractor with a flow Rate of 7.8 GPM. The are made more for a skid steer that has a flow of around 15GPM or higher.

Thanks, WSD

M
Matt L.

Minimum GPM for skid steer

Wood Splitter Direct

Hi Matt,

For a 30 ton unit 15 GPM is a good flow rate. You could get away with 12 but it will be slow.

Thanks,

WSD

David L.

can you switch the 6way wedge out for a single? or is it permanent?

Wood Splitter Direct

Hello,

No you can not change out the 6 way wedge, its comes welded like that.

Thanks, WSD

R
Richard K.

Does the six way bind up larger diameter logs such as 30 in round or is there an option for a one way split?

Wood Splitter Direct

Hello,

It really depends on the piece of wood its self, what kind, is it straight grain etc.. If its not a twisted log and straight then it will be no problem if its "forky" and twisted then you could have issues.

Thanks, WSD

J
John

What is the minimum GPM requirement to operate the 30 ton, 24" and 30" cylinders?

James B.

I would reccomend at least 12GPM.  The more GPM the faster the cycle or split time.
