Boss Industrial Dual-Action 3-Point Tractor Log Splitter
Fast Dual-Direction Splitting • Runs Off Tractor Hydraulics • Great for Home & Farm Use
The Boss Industrial 3PT16T21 is a fast, efficient 3-point tractor log splitter built for homeowners, acreage owners, and farm users who want the convenience of tractor-powered splitting with the productivity of dual-action performance. Designed to run directly off your tractor’s hydraulic system, this splitter eliminates the wait between strokes by splitting in both directions—so once one split is complete, it is immediately ready to split again on the return stroke.
That dual-direction design helps deliver faster cycle times than traditional one-way splitters, making the 3PT16T21 a smart choice for users who want more work done in less time. It is lightweight, easy to maneuver, and ideal for firewood processing at the farm, cabin, lake property, or woodshed.
Important: Actual split time and tonnage depend on your tractor’s hydraulic output. Boss recommends a minimum hydraulic flow of 5 GPM.
