I split a lot of hard-wood. I heat a large farmhouse and also a large barn/workshop. Two wood furnaces going all the time.
I've got two self-powered splitters and one three-point vertical splitter. I love the three-point and rarely use anything else. Has it's only PTO pump so it's self contained - i.e. I can stick it on any tractor. When I cut a huge tree that's has blocked up wood to heavy to carry ? I drive the tractor and splitter TO the wood. Being vertical is also a big plus. I cut a lot of huge wood I cannot lift.
I was lucky when I got mine. Three-point American splitter with a 32" long, 4" diameter cylinder and a Prince PTO pump - all for $600. Having the huge PTO pump allow the tractor engine to be running nice and slow and still cycle the splitter fast.
I also have a self-powered splitter with a 5" cylinder, 3500 PSI max- 16 GPM pump, and a Wisconsin TJD engine. That's my "big" self-powered splitter. It's horizontal. My "small" one is also horizontal with a Wisconsin S7D engine, 4" cylinder and a 11 GPM pump.
Maybe somebody will see this photo and call the child-abuse police??

My dad had a tractor, a Farmall A which was used mostly to run the thrashing machine, a seed drill and for plowing.
