Ramsplitter

24 Products

Ramsplitter covers more ground than any other brand we carry. Twenty-four products spanning electric splitters for a garage, gas splitters up to 34 tons, 3-point tractor units, skid steer attachments, log grapples and replacement wedges. If you own the machine, Ramsplitter probably makes a splitter that runs off it.

The gas range tops out with the H34, a 34-ton splitter with a 16HP electric start engine, and steps down through the HD34, the HDFC fast cycle, and the HD30. The HDFC is worth a look if throughput matters more than maximum tonnage, since cycle time decides how much wood you actually move in a day.

On the tractor side, six 3-point models run 16, 20 and 30 tons in horizontal and horizontal/vertical layouts. These run off your tractor's hydraulic system rather than a PTO-driven pump, so there is no second engine or reservoir to maintain. See them all in Tractor Log Splitters.

The skid steer range is the deepest at seven models, built on the upside-down design that puts the wedge where you can see it, in 16, 20 and 30-ton versions with sliding or attached wedges. There are also two log grapples, for skid steer and 3-point, and 4-way wedges sold separately so you can upgrade a splitter you already own.

Why Ramsplitter

  • Every Power Source: Electric, gas, tractor hydraulics and skid steer hydraulics, all from one brand.
  • 16 to 34 Tons: A range wide enough to cover a suburban woodpile or a commercial firewood yard.
  • Upside-Down Skid Steer Design: Seven models that put the working end in your line of sight.
  • Wedges Sold Separately: Add a 4-way to a splitter you already own instead of replacing it.

How to Choose a Ramsplitter

Four things narrow it down fast:

  • What You Already Own: A tractor points at the 3-point range, a skid steer at the SSUD range, and neither at the gas or electric models.
  • Tonnage: 16 tons suits clean seasoned softwood. 20 to 30 covers most hardwood. 34 tons is for knotty, green and oversized rounds.
  • Horizontal or Both: Horizontal-only is simpler and cheaper. Horizontal and vertical lets you roll heavy rounds under the wedge rather than lifting them.
  • Cycle Time Over Tonnage: If you split volume, a faster cycle moves more wood per hour than extra tons ever will.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Ramsplitter make, and what sets the brand apart?
Ramsplitter builds log splitters in the United States, and the range is unusually broad for a single manufacturer. You can get the same splitting job done four different ways: towable gas machines, 3-point tractor splitters, skid steer attachments and plug-in electric units. That matters because most people already own the power source, and Ramsplitter lets you buy the splitter that runs off what is already in your yard rather than buying another engine.

Which Ramsplitter should I buy for my setup?
Start from what will power it. If you own a compact or utility tractor, the 3-point range runs from the 16-ton 3PT16H at $1,350 to the 30-ton 3PT30HV at $2,776, and all of them take a Cat 1 or Cat 2 hitch. If you run a skid steer or mini loader, the SSUD upside-down splitters go from the 16-ton SSUD16 on a Dingo plate up to the 30-ton SSUD30-32. If you have no host machine, the gas towables cover it, from the HV20-3 on a Honda GC160 up to the H34 commercial at $6,275. And if you split near an outlet and want no fuel or fumes, the HV16-4 and HV20-4 electrics run off household power.

What is an upside-down skid steer log splitter, and why would I want one?
A conventional splitter asks you to lift the round onto a beam. An upside-down splitter inverts that: the wedge comes down from above and the round stays on the ground, so you roll it into position instead of lifting it. On big, wet rounds that is the difference between a manageable day and a sore back. The SSUD range covers 16, 20 and 30 tons, and the 30-ton models come in both attached-wedge and sliding-wedge versions with 26-inch or 32-inch capacity.

What is the difference between horizontal and horizontal/vertical on a Ramsplitter?
An H model splits horizontally only. An HV model pivots so the beam stands upright, letting you roll a heavy round against the wedge instead of lifting it onto the beam. On the 3-point line the jump is small, roughly $100 to $200 between the 3PT16H and 3PT16HV or the 3PT30H and 3PT30HV. If you regularly handle rounds over about 18 inches or anything green and heavy, the vertical mode pays for itself in the first season. If you mostly split pre-cut rounds you can lift comfortably, horizontal-only is fine and saves you money.

How fast are the Ramsplitter cycle times?
It depends which machine you pick, and this is where the commercial models separate themselves. The HDFC Heavy Duty Fast Cycle runs a 30-ton ram on an 8-second cycle, and the HD34 does 34 tons on a 14-second cycle. Cycle time matters more than tonnage once you are past about 25 tons, because very little of what you feed a 30-ton machine actually needs 30 tons; what limits your output is how many times an hour the ram can come back. If you are producing firewood to sell, buy on cycle time. If you are heating your own house, tonnage and log capacity matter more.

Can I add a 4-way wedge to a Ramsplitter?
Yes, on the skid steer line, and the wedges are model-specific rather than universal. The SSUD 4-way wedge fits the SSUD30 and SSUD30-32 at $475, and there is a separate 8-inch main wedge 4-way for the SSUD20 at $195. The SSUD30-6 also ships with a 6-way wedge from the factory. A 4-way turns one pass into four pieces, which roughly halves your handling time on straight-grained wood, though knotty or stringy rounds still split cleaner with a single wedge.

What do Ramsplitter grapples fit?
Both Ramsplitter grapples open 55 inches and lift 2,000 pounds. The difference is the mount: one is a universal quick attach for skid steers, the other takes a Cat 1, 2 or 3 tractor hitch. They are the same working end on two different interfaces, so choose by what you are running rather than by capacity. To compare against other brands, the full range is in our grapples collection.
