RamSplitter 16-Ton Upside-Down Skid Steer Log Splitter with Dingo Mount (SSUD16)

16-Ton Splitting Force • Dingo Mounting Plate • 18" Maximum Opening • 3.5" × 18" Hydraulic Cylinder • Split Logs Directly on the Ground

Take the lifting and handling out of firewood processing with the RamSplitter SSUD16 16-Ton Upside-Down Skid Steer Log Splitter. Designed for compatible compact utility loaders using a Dingo-style mounting system, the SSUD16 lets you position the splitter over a log, lower the wedge, and split the wood directly where it lies.

The upside-down configuration is especially useful for large or awkward rounds that would otherwise have to be lifted onto a conventional splitter. A 3.5" × 18" hydraulic cylinder, heavy-duty 4" × 2" rectangular steel beam, and 7" splitting wedge provide a rugged, straightforward setup for property cleanup, firewood production, farms, and land-management work.

Key Features & Benefits

• 16-Ton Splitting Force
  Provides substantial hydraulic splitting power for processing compatible firewood rounds.

• Upside-Down Splitting Design
  Bring the splitter to the log rather than lifting the log onto the machine.

• Split Directly on the Ground
  Pick your splitting location from the operator's seat and process heavy rounds with far less manual handling.

• Dingo Mounting Plate
  Configured for compatible machines using the Dingo-style attachment system.

• 3.5" × 18" Hydraulic Cylinder
  Heavy-duty cylinder provides the force and travel required for the 16-ton splitter configuration.

• 18" Maximum Opening
  Accommodates logs up to approximately 18 inches long within the splitter opening.

• 7" Tall Splitting Wedge
  Heavy-duty wedge provides a substantial contact area for splitting firewood.

• 2-Hole Wedge Design
  Purpose-built wedge configuration for the SSUD16.

• Universal Quick-Disconnect Couplers
  Hydraulic quick couplers simplify connection and disconnection from compatible equipment.

• Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
  Built around a rugged rectangular steel beam for demanding outdoor use.

• Cycle Time Depends on Your Machine
  The splitter uses the host machine's hydraulic system, so operating speed varies according to available hydraulic flow.

• Made in the USA
  RamSplitter equipment is manufactured in the United States.

Bring the Splitter to the Log

One of the biggest advantages of an upside-down skid steer splitter is eliminating the need to wrestle heavy rounds into position.

With the SSUD16, the operator can approach the log with the machine, position the wedge over the round, and apply hydraulic force from above.

This setup can be especially helpful when working with:

• Heavy hardwood rounds
• Large logs that are difficult to lift
• Storm cleanup
• Downed trees
• Remote firewood piles
• Uneven terrain
• Property and land clearing

Instead of repeatedly lifting logs onto a conventional beam, the machine does the positioning work.

16-Ton Hydraulic Splitting Power

The SSUD16 uses a 3.5-inch bore × 18-inch stroke hydraulic cylinder to produce its published 16-ton splitting force.

Because the splitter is powered by the hydraulic system of the host machine, there is:

• No separate gasoline engine
• No separate hydraulic pump
• No fuel tank
• No standalone hydraulic reservoir

This keeps the attachment relatively simple and lets you use the hydraulic power already available from your compatible machine.

Dingo Mounting Configuration

The SSUD16 supplied in this listing includes a Dingo mounting plate for compatible compact utility loaders.

Important Fitment Note

"Dingo mount" refers to the attachment-interface style. Compatibility should be verified with the exact make and model of your machine before ordering.

Do not assume compatibility solely because the machine is a mini skid steer or compact utility loader. Attachment-plate dimensions and hydraulic connections can vary between manufacturers and models.

Hydraulic Performance

The SSUD16's cycle time is dependent on the hydraulic flow supplied by the host machine.

A machine providing greater compatible hydraulic flow will generally cycle the cylinder faster than one operating at a lower flow rate.

Because RamSplitter does not publish a single cycle-time specification for this model, cycle speed should not be compared directly with self-contained log splitters that have their own fixed-output hydraulic pumps.

7" Splitting Wedge

The SSUD16 uses a 7-inch-tall wedge with a 2-hole design.

The upside-down configuration allows the wedge to be placed over the log from above, letting the operator use the machine's boom and positioning controls to line up each split.

This can also make it easier to reposition a log for additional splits without manually carrying it back to a fixed splitter.

Ideal Applications

The RamSplitter SSUD16 is well suited for:

• Residential firewood production
• Farms and ranches
• Large rural properties
• Tree and storm cleanup
• Land clearing
• Property maintenance
• Firewood businesses
• Arborist work
• Compact utility loader owners
• Processing large or difficult-to-handle rounds

Quick Specifications

Package Contents

• RamSplitter SSUD16 16-Ton Upside-Down Log Splitter
• Dingo mounting plate
• Hydraulic quick-disconnect couplers
• Operator's manual

Host machine is not included.

Important Hydraulic Compatibility

Before purchasing, verify that your machine's hydraulic system is compatible with the splitter.

Check:

• Hydraulic flow
• Hydraulic pressure
• Supply and return connections
• Quick-coupler compatibility
• Attachment plate
• Machine lift capacity
• Operating capacity and stability

Hydraulic fitting appearance alone should not be used to determine compatibility.

Important Log-Length Specification

The current RamSplitter manufacturer specification lists an 18-inch maximum opening for the SSUD16.

Some reseller information has previously listed a 24-inch maximum log opening, but this conflicts with RamSplitter's current specification. For this listing, 18 inches should be used as the maximum opening unless RamSplitter confirms otherwise.

Why Choose an Upside-Down Log Splitter?

A conventional log splitter requires the operator to bring each log to the splitter. An upside-down attachment reverses that process—the machine brings the splitter to the log.

That can provide several advantages:

• Less manual lifting
• Easier handling of heavy rounds
• Splitting directly where logs are located
• Faster repositioning between logs
• Reduced bending and repetitive handling
• Better access to scattered logs during property cleanup

Warranty

The SSUD16 is backed by a 1-year parts warranty. Warranty coverage is subject to the manufacturer's terms and exclusions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much splitting force does the SSUD16 produce?
The SSUD16 is rated at 16 tons of splitting force.

What is the maximum log length?
The current manufacturer specification lists an 18-inch maximum opening.

Does this splitter have its own hydraulic pump?
No. The SSUD16 operates from the hydraulic system of the compatible host machine.

How fast does the splitter cycle?
Cycle time depends on the hydraulic flow supplied by your machine.

What type of mount does it use?
This version includes a Dingo mounting plate.

Will it fit every mini skid steer?
No. The mounting plate and hydraulic system must be compatible with your specific machine. Verify fitment before ordering.

Can I split logs without lifting them?
Yes. The upside-down configuration is designed to allow the operator to position the splitter over logs lying on the ground.

Are hydraulic couplers included?
Yes. The splitter is supplied with hydraulic quick-disconnect couplers.

Is the SSUD16 made in the USA?
Yes. RamSplitter manufactures its log splitters in the United States.
