Log Splitter and JD Power Beyond

[birchpoint]

I own a (1998) I beleive JD 4300 Compact Utility tractor without rear hydraulics and am thinking about a Wallenstein 3 pt. hitch log splitter attachment. Can anyone advise me on whether the JD Power Beyond is the best way to go or a PTO pump from Wallenstein? I am also thinking about the Wallenstein Backhoe attachment as well.
Thanks
Scott

Welcome to TBN
The PB kit would fit the bill perfectly, and is cheaper that the PTO pump.

That's great thank you. Am I right to assume that I will still be able to lift and lower the 3 pt hitch with the log splitter working and hooked up to the PB?

Thanks

Yes. There are two returns with the PB kit, one feeds the 3PH-and one goes directly to the tank for use when a backhoe is mounted. Diagrams are available at www.jdparts.com

Dont mean to dig up a super old thread, but it's related I think....

the PB kit on a 1026R, would this also support a wood splitter? Something like the WX310?

Yes, but it will be SLOW:thumbsup:

We've discussed 3 point splitters in a number of other threads. The 1026 will have between 3 and 4 gpm available. With a two way splitter and a 3" cylinder like my PowerHorse 13 ton, you will be able to make a split every 10 seconds or so. However, with a one way 4" cylinder splitter like the the WX310, it will be way too slow.

If you need the larger capacity on a small tractor, you will need a PTO pump or a stand alone splitter.
