3pt log splitter storage

[Triguy1]

I am looking for ideas on storing my 3pt log splitter when not in use. Currently setting it down on some blocks with boards on top of them, but I would like a better solution. Anyone build something that works well?

is it a pto model or does it have an engine

If you dont have one you need to build a 60 x 80 barn and store it in a loft in the back, that way it wont take up any room needed for other items...

No, just a simple 3 Pt hitch model that runs off the hydro, had rear remotes put on the BX2360, works really well.

I have a small out building, really just a oversized one car garage where the tractor lives. So I certainly like the idea of a larger building, but for now I was just thinking of a storage rack of some kind.

can yours stand vertical? like mine. mine only takes up about 2 sq ft

Mine's been just sitting out for years. I'd also like something better. I thought about wheels for the hitch pins so I could roll it into the hay mow.

Problem is he will soon need a bigger barn, lol, know I did. Wait a second mine was only 30' x 48' my mistake should have doubled it, lol.:laughing: Barns are like cupboard space the more you have the more junk you will have on the shelves, but hey we can always use more junk.

I really do not think that it will stand up like that, but I am going to take a look tonight, that would helpful. I also like the idea of a cart on wheel, so I can roll it around.

Thanks for the ideas so far. And yes, I will need a bigger barn...

When I got my rampsplitter in 08 I had them make two legs for the back that mount on the 3PT pins and one Y stand pinned on the front. The Y pin is removable so I can lower to the ground for bigger logs.

This setup is easily slid on the concrete floor - I store it on one side of barn - to hook up I slide it out, pin on the center hook, connect the HYD hoses and I am splitting. I have the B21 TLB so I use the BH connection for the Hyd lines - also means I can leave the BH attached.

Takes about 3 minutes to slide out, hook up and go.

Sweet, that is the one I have. I may call them about that, or learn to weld.
