I"m looking for a wood splitter for my Ford 4 cyl 4000 (1964 vintage diesel 4 cyl similar to 800 I believe). According to the service manual it has a 4 or 4.7 gpm hydraulic pump. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Howard

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I know about the slow cycle time of the 3 pt models with my old tractor - I've borrowed one, but I wouldn't use it much and it is small and easy to store with no maintenance. Howard

Go with a stand alone, or else set this one up with a PTO pump so that the tractor can be idled back and still move a pile of oil. There's nothing worse than feeding one of those old buggers to do nothing. The pumps on those things are pitiful compared to what's needed to run a splitter properly...

It will work but will be very slow.

I second that. I sold my three point hitch model and rent my buddys stand alone unit. Much faster and more power.
