Tractor Powered Vertical Log-Splitter Wallenstein

Wallenstein Tractor-Powered Vertical Log-Splitters

The WX350 and WX360 are Cat I 3-Point Hitch log splitting solutions powered by your tractor’s hydraulics, from Canadian manufacturer, Wallenstein. These splitters are vertically oriented, so you don’t have to lift any logs onto a bed to split with these set ups.

Two models are available, the WX350 and the WX360. The smaller of the series has a 20 Ton split capacity with a 24″ split opening and requires 10 gpm hydraulic flow. The larger splitter has a 31 Ton split capacity with a 24″ split opening and requires 16 gpm hydraulic flow.

Both models are quick hitch compatible.

A 2-Way Wide Wedge is included that pops the log in a short distance. A 4-Way Wedge is an option.

To return the cylinder, just pull back on the lever and it will return to its starting position automatically, and then pop into neutral.

An optional stroke limiter is available to stop the cylinder from fully retracting, reducing your cycle time by almost 50% (for use on shorter logs).

If your tractor lacks the hydraulic flow necessary to power the 20 Ton splitter, an optional PTO Pump Kit is available to gain up to 11 gpm of hydraulic flow.

All in all these are well thought out, compact, log splitters.

How to Choose the Right Log Splitter:

There are 4 main choices to consider:

1) TYPE: Do you require an engine-powered model or would you prefer to power it off your tractor or skidsteer?

2) POWER: Most wood can be split by a 20-ton splitter. However, hardwoods with gnarled, twisted grains, such as those that often grow up along a fence line may require a splitter with a higher splitting force.

3) ORIENTATION: Vertical 3-point hitch models, inverted skidsteer models and horizontal-vertical woodsplitters are very helpful when the wood being split is too large or heavy to lift onto a log bed. The Log Lifter fitted to some of the WX900 series models is also helpful in this regard.

4) SPLIT LENGTH: Do you require 24”, 36” or 48” lengths of split wood? If you are interested in a trailer model, consider how much wood you intend to spilt, is it for commercial or rental use, does towed equipment require lights and licensing where you live. If available in your chosen model, a “T”, or Tall version of the splitter can raise the working height to a more comfortable level. The horizontal / vertical splitters can also help in this regard.
