20 Ton Horizontal Vertical Tractor 3pt Log Splitter (3PT20HV)

I just wanted to update my review on my three point, 20 ton splitter. I'm very pleased with Wood Splitter Direct's help line when I had a problem. I also am pleased with the owner of the manufacturing company (Doug). He had me return the splitter and rebuilt me a different unit with new valve. I have used the unit and I'm am surprised by the speed and power. It's a 20 splitter that will do most of what I'll ever throw at it. I like having it on the back of the tractor. I can adjust the height and the whole operation is so much quieter. I don't have a gas engine blasting in my ears and stinky gas fumes going in my lungs.
Thank you Doug!!

Just gonna be honest. I do have mixed feelings at this time. I ordered the extended splitter ( 30" opening) for boiler logs. It actually measures a bit less than 29". Yes I can adjust my rounds to fit. But the description read that it would be 30" inches and the splitting ram hits up hard on the end plate. I'll share a picture of this. I'm not real impressed with the table I had them add. It's small and doesn't do much for the bigger rounds. Also after an hour of splitting I could smell hydraulic oil. The valve assembly is leaking at the spool.
I have this hooked up to a Massey Ferguson 34hp compact tractor. I ran it at around 2100 rpms. The speed of the ram surprised me (I'm please with that). 20 tons seems to be doing good. I tried a couple of nasty rounds (real nasty) and it didn't make it through them. Bigger is better but I went way over my budget with the 20 ton. I couldn't convince my self I had to have 30 ton.
Now, I am pleased with my buying experience with Wood Splitter Direct. They kept me informed on how my order was coming along and when it was to be shipped out. I'm not sure I can give a fair review at this time, only because I haven't talked with the company yet.

I went all in and bought the 20 ton horizontal/vertical 3 point model with the 4 way wedge, log cradles, and PTO kit. Arrived in good condition but some assembly required for the PTO kit. Cycle time and splitting force is awesome. It doesn't slow down like my old gas splitter. Using with a small 23HP tractor. I added a 2in ball hitch so I can connect my utility trailer. Great product.

I went with the 20t 3 point splitter for my Kubota L series. Tried it out and was greatly impressed. The speed of the ram and the ease in going through large rounds was impressive. Actually looking forward to wood storage this summer.

The splitter splits just fine. The problem I have is the clasps break on the chain provided to keep the pto pump from turning. This caused the pump to turn and the hydraulic hoses to wrap around each other.

This worked out better than expected. We didn't want to deal with a gas engine so went with a hydraulic powered from a tractor. Easy to connect, easy to use.

I am pleased with the way the splitter works on my tractor. Had a leak in the valve control handle piston and the company sent me a new control box quickly.

Only 3 Cord into use, but impressed by the splitter. Great power for stubborn rounds. The wood crib is good. The 4 way splitter is excellent.
On the flips, The splitter head is chipping out a bit, which is a concern and the hydraulic lines are too short to reach my adapter links. That is a fixable issue that I’ve worked around in short term.

The good: splitter, PTO pump, 4-way wedge, and cradles are of decent quality. Using this on a 2016 Kubota L2501, I had no issues with the gnarliest maple/beech/oak I could find. Cycle time is satisfactory at 540 RPM. The cradles aren't very robust but they do the job. 4-way wedge can be a PIA but is overall worth it.
The not so good: A) PTO pump kit does not have all the parts required and there is no spec sheet. I needed to buy a fitting for the suction side between the 90 degree elbow and the barbed receiver for the hose. WSD and the manufacturer were receptive to my requests for the spec sheet and I had a good conversation with the manufacturer but nobody followed through with the spec sheet. B) I can't say I understand some of the fabrication choices; there is one hydraulic line behind the wedge that rests on the reservoir. So far not a huge deal other than worn off paint on the reservoir but I'm curious how that hydraulic connection will hold up over time due to the contact/impact. C) The stabilizer bracket for the PTO pump is garbage. The holes did not line up with the threads on the pump so I tossed it and fabricated my own. 
The neutral: It was painted the wrong color. To be fair, the manufacturer offered to repaint it but I didn't feel it was worth the effort. We're trying to split wood, not win fashion shows. 
Overall: the splitter gets 4 stars, pump setup gets 2. I recommend the splitter but if you're considering the PTO pump be prepared for some troubleshooting.

I ordered in John Deere Green with PTO pump, 4-way wedge, and log cradles. The PTO pump was pretty easy to assemble and took a ton of fluid, which is a good sign. You'll need to buy two 5-gallon buckets to have enough. The splitter has not bogged down on any log yet and is FAST! You never wait on the cylinder to retract; you wait on yourself grabbing another log. Ordering was very easy, too. Great Website! Only issue is they forgot to ship my 4-way wedge, so I am hoping they will mail it to me! Other than that, I'm VERY HAPPY with my choice!
