Hi Bert,
I restore tractors and also have a line of log splitters that I manufacture. I am certain that one of my splitters would work great on your 60. Other's would work, too, but I have to say that mine would work better, right? :) If you figure (for example) you have about 1300psi hydraulic pressure on your tractor, then multiply that times the surface area of the piston in the splitter cylinder you'll get the total force that you can produce with the splitter. For a 4 inch cylinder, that is about 16328 pounds of splitting force
(at 1300psi). That should be enough to split most logs if you aren't too aggressive and have the right blade.

Hope that helps!

Well, Bert, I ain't got no John Deere of any model around this place but here's a picture of my Case VAC with woodsplitter. I'm not sure who that big oaf is that's running the thing.

Hey Les, with that thing you don't need to saw the tree down, just split it. You've got some serious ledge in the background there; is that a part of your famous local mountain notch?

This picture was taken by Fawteen at my tractor show in Woodstock last summer. If the camera was to pan about 45o to the right, you would be able to see Franconia Notch, which is about 15 miles or so north.
Jared, where are you in VT?

Les, Franconia was the notch to which I was refering! A few years ago I completed the "Lake View" climb on Canon Cliff. It finished up just to the left of the Old Man. At the time I couldn't imagine what the heck was holding him up. The bolts and cables looked good, but the granite blocks that comprised his profile were titanic. I'm in the lower part of the Uppa-Vally, just south of Weathersfield Bow, on the river. When I arrived here from Maine I was astonished to discover that you could actually dig a hole in the ground without hitting bedrock or a giant stone. One simularity is fog. Making that 2nd or 3rd crop of hay is a challange. The fog won't clear before 10 and it slips behind the hills by 5! We are most fortunate to live here!
