3 point log splitter

[reeltime]

I have a 3016 with backhoe if I remove backhoe I can use the backhoe lines for the splitter right

the tractor hydraulics don't put out enough flow to run the splitter efficiently. the splitters typically have an 11gpm pump while the 3016 has an output of 7.8.

it would run very slowly.

I used to run on my bx2200 with out a problem for years I think that had a 5.7 gpm pump interesting

I think that will just affect cycle time

that's what i meant when i said it would run slowly. it would be much slower going in both directions. it will still generate the same splitting force but it will take longer to split and withdraw the wedge.

But I could use the lines for the backhoe right because I still have that splitter

Yes. does the backhoe have its own pump for more flow rate?

No the 3016 bh runs off the tractor hydro.
