Last time I sorted this out they did not make one for a tractor, needed a reverse spin.

I have used a screw style splitter however did not find is as useful as a gas powered - hydraulic, 35 ton, maul splitter. I can use it in the vertical or horizontal position-tow it into the woods and use it then leave the mess ( which is minimal)there. Although I never had an accident the screw splitter has more potential to be dangerous if you are not extremely careful. It is fine and dandy to say always be careful but after the fact it is little consulation.
I guess it boils down to what you want but my vote is for the wedge maul splitter.

I have been splitting wood by hand for many years
until last year. I really wanted a 3pt. splitter
but found a good deal on a towable gasoline one.
I have found that this is a better set up as it does not tie up the tractor. I take the tractor
trailer and splitter to the woods and bring the split wood back. I simply put a ball hitch on the back of the trailer and have a little wood
cutting train. Leaves the mess in the woods.

Safety is in the operator, not in a machine. An axe or splitting maul can be dangerous if the nut on the handle isn't thinking. Hiring some guy to split and stack your wood while you smoke Marlboros in your lawn chair is dangerous to the health, too. Using a claw hammer can be dangerous to the fingers...

I've split a lot of wood with an auger on the 3 point, never lost a glove, a pair of pants, or an arm. Pay attention and stay in the game WHATEVER you're doing. Control the activity so the outcome is what you want.

sounds like you may have something and you may be my neighbor. I am looking for info on the bark buster that was made in minnesota I think. I would like to hear from you if you so desire. I have made a ford 3 point cone type that I use (with a safety shutoff) and it works great. I would never go to a hydraulic. anyone that has a ford (9n etc.) and burns wood is missing the boat.

Stickler also makes a three point mounted log splitter that is pto driven. We used to have one, that we used on our 8N Ford. It worked really well and was fast. Like any other piece of machinery you need careful and treat it with respect. Had no problems with it. We no longer burn wood and did not need it, so we sold it. Was very pleased with it.

Interesting you know so much about them. Have you had a bad experience, or are you just guessing? In any event, you can't buy mine. It's the greatest thing since pockets on shirts.

My next step will be to add another level to the carry-all to carry the split wood.

We sold few of these at a power equip. shop back in the 70's and as I recall they were meant to go on the hub of a pickup or car. I like your setup especially the reaction bar to hold the log. I had a customer who got beat up pretty badly in the legs when the rig he was using on his ford pickup caught a knot and jumped off of the jack. The truck kept hopping across the field on the log and he fell trying to get into the cab to shut it off. To be fair though the instructions call for a kill switch on the vehicle ignition wire. It is supposed to be a pullout type switch attached to a long cord or rope that you stake the other end safely away from the vehicle but in reach of the operator for just this type of situation. Have you given any thought to such a setup for your rig?

P.S. I'm a newbie (first post) but I've been reading y'all for a couple of weeks. Great Site!!!

Interesting. How would you bolt that up to an 'N' tractor? For that matter, it looks like you would need an adapter to bolt it onto the hub of your car. How much does it cost? Please tell me more! I hate splitting wood by hand!---Rob N VA (burning a fire right now, 'cause it is C-O-L-D here in Va right now.

I think they are about $250. If I had one I'd build a 3 point deal sort of like the mount for a hay spike. And mount a couple bearings for the
screw thing to turn on.and use a short pto shaft. There was a post on hyd pto driven wood splitters a while back and someone mentioned the screw thing and said they would like to know more about it.
