Skid Steer Wood Splitter

15 Products

A skid steer log splitter turns the machine you already own into a firewood splitter, so heavy rounds get split on the ground instead of being lifted onto a beam. Our Skid Steer Log Splitters collection features skid steer firewood splitters and attachments from Ramsplitter, TM Manufacturing, Iron & Oak, and Quick Attach, from 16-ton mini skid steer models up to 32-ton production splitters.

No skid steer? Our Tractor Log Splitters run off a 3-point hitch and your tractor's hydraulics, and the full Log Splitters collection covers gas and electric models.

Most full-size models here use a universal skid steer quick attach plate, the standard mount on machines like Bobcat. For compact machines, the Ramsplitter SSUD16 and SSUD20 and the TM Manufacturing Warrior splitters fit Dingo, Toro, and other mini skid steer mounts, and the Quick Split Mini runs on as little as 10 GPM of hydraulic flow.

The upside-down design is what makes a skid loader log splitter fast. The Ramsplitter SSUD series presses down on rounds sitting on the ground, and 4-way and 6-way wedge options split each round into more pieces per stroke. For a dedicated high-speed splitter, see our Kinetic Log Splitter collection.

Key Advantages of Our Skid Steer Log Splitters

  • Split on the Ground: The inverted design presses down on rounds where they sit, so you never lift heavy logs onto a beam.
  • Runs on Your Machine's Hydraulics: There is no separate engine to fuel or maintain. The skid steer powers the splitter.
  • 4-Way and 6-Way Wedge Options: Multi-way wedges on Ramsplitter and TM Manufacturing models split each round into more pieces per stroke.
  • Full-Size and Mini Mounts: Universal quick attach models for full-size skid steers, plus Dingo, Toro, and mini skid steer versions.

How to Choose a Skid Steer Log Splitter

Choosing the best skid steer log splitter comes down to four things:

  • Mount: Match the attachment plate to your machine. Full-size skid steers use a universal quick attach, while mini skid steers and compact track loaders need a Dingo, Toro, or MT style mount.
  • Hydraulic Flow: Compare your machine's auxiliary flow and pressure with the requirements on each product page. The Quick Split Mini needs as little as 10 GPM, which suits smaller machines.
  • Tonnage and Stroke: 16 to 20 tons works for compact machines and smaller rounds. For longer, larger rounds, choose a 30 to 32-ton model with a stroke between 24 and 36 inches.
  • Wedge Style: Attached wedges stay fixed for fast, repeat splitting, while sliding wedge models let you switch between single and 4-way splits. Our guide to choosing a skid steer log splitter covers each option.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hydraulic flow does my skid steer need to run a log splitter?
It depends on the splitter, so compare your machine's auxiliary flow and pressure with the product page before you buy. Compact models like the Quick Split Mini run on as little as 10 GPM, while full-size splitters are built for standard-flow skid steers. Running a splitter below its required flow makes it slow, and going past your machine's pressure rating can damage seals, so check both numbers. Our team can confirm fit if you send us your skid steer model.

Why are skid steer log splitters mounted upside-down?
An inverted (upside-down) mount keeps the wedge low and the log on the ground, so you never lift heavy rounds onto a beam. The skid steer holds the splitter, you set the round underneath, and the machine pushes down. It is safer for big rounds, faster at high volume, and much easier on your back. Standard upright mounts work for smaller logs but get awkward with rounds over 100 lbs.

Do I need a quick attach mount or a mini skid steer mount?
Most of our full-size skid steer log splitters use a universal skid steer quick attach plate, which fits Bobcat and most major skid steer brands. For compact machines, the Ramsplitter SSUD16 and SSUD20 and the TM Manufacturing Warrior and Mini Warrior fit Dingo, Toro, and mini skid steer mounts. Check the mount type on the product page against your machine before ordering.

Is a 4-way wedge worth it on a skid steer log splitter?
If you split high volume or straight-grained wood, yes. A 4-way wedge makes 4 pieces per stroke instead of 2, so throughput roughly doubles. With knotty or unpredictable hardwood, a 4-way wedge can bind. Many of our splitters offer 4-way or 6-way wedge options, and sliding wedge models let you switch between single and 4-way splits, so you can choose per session.

Can a skid steer log splitter handle frozen or knotty wood?
With the right tonnage, yes. The skid steer splitters in our collection run 16 to 32 tons of force, enough for frozen logs and most knotty hardwood. The skid steer holds the splitter steady, and the inverted design lets you reposition the log between strokes. For seriously knotted wood, choose a 30-ton model and use a single wedge.

Will a log splitter damage my skid steer's hydraulic system?
Not if the flow and pressure stay within your skid steer's specs. Damage usually happens when an attachment demands more flow or pressure than the machine is rated for, or when hydraulic lines are connected to the wrong ports. Read your skid steer's manual, match the splitter's requirements, and use the auxiliary hydraulic couplers correctly.

Can I use a log splitter on a mini skid steer?
Yes, if you choose a model built for compact machines. The Ramsplitter SSUD16 and SSUD20, the TM Manufacturing Warrior 30 and Mini Warrior, and the Quick Attach Quick Split Mini are made for mini skid steers and compact track loaders, with Dingo, Toro, or MT mount options depending on the model. Full-size universal quick attach splitters are built for full-size skid steers.

What cycle time should I expect from a skid steer log splitter?
It depends which machine you are asking about, because these attachments have no engine of their own. The Ramsplitter SSUD models list cycle time as reliant on the skid steer, meaning your machine's auxiliary hydraulic flow sets the ram speed: more flow, faster cycles, same tonnage either way. The Quick Attach Quick Split Mini is the one that publishes a figure, averaging a 7-second cycle. If cycle time is what you are buying on, check your loader's auxiliary flow rating first, because that number moves the result more than the attachment does.

What is a stackable serrated wedge and which splitter has it?
The Quick Attach Quick Split Mini uses a stackable serrated wedge system, where multiple wedges stack on top of each other so you can change how many pieces you get per pass instead of being locked into one pattern. It ships with both a 4-way and a 2-way wedge. The serrations bite into the round rather than skating off it, which is what helps on stringy or frozen wood. It is a different approach to the fixed attached wedge on the Ramsplitter SSUD30-4 and the sliding wedge on the SSUD30, so it is worth deciding which suits the wood you actually split before choosing.

Where are these skid steer log splitters made?
Several of them are built in the United States. TM Manufacturing builds the Skidsplitter, the Warrior and the Pro Series in the USA, and the GREYWOLF 24-Ton is USA-made as well. That matters less for bragging rights than it does for parts: a domestically built attachment is usually quicker to get a cylinder seal or a wedge for when you need one mid-season. Ask us which models are in stock domestically if lead time is a factor for you.
