3 Pt Wood Splitter On Skid Steer Loader
We mounted a 3-pt. wood splitter on our Bobcat skid steer loader to take advantage of the Bobcat's maneuverability and economical diesel engine. We had to build a mounting frame that would attach to the 3-pt. fittings on the splitter and also attach like a bucket to the loader arms on the Bobcat. The splitter is powered off auxiliary hydraulics by locking the right steering lever into the auxiliary position.
We've used it for four years with no problems. I like the maneuverability of the Bob-cat because it lets me go anywhere so there's less wood to haul, and the small diesel engine on the Bobcat runs for days on a tank of fuel. The idea should work on any skid steer loader with auxiliary hydraulic outlets. (David Batker, W. 701 Hwy. 92, Brooklyn, Wis. 53521 608 455-1391)
