20 Ton Horizontal Vertical Electric Log Splitter (HV20-4-2)

This HV20-4 Ram Splitter Horizontal Vertical 20 ton log splitter is built for both configurations. This allows you to just slide the log over while in the vertical position rather then lifting them on the beam. Just plug this 2HP unit into your existing outlet and begin splitting.

Ramsplitter makes it. I just talked to ramsplitter today and they are atill making them.

You probably have some restrictions in the system. 90° fittings are a source of heat. A worn pump will make heat as well. How hot does your pump get? My old pump used to get pretty warm because it was worn. No idea how many hours were on it, but it was used/abused when I got it. My new pump was used as well (because it was almost free), but I went through it and it seemed to be pretty good. If/when I need a new one, it will be brand new, and a bit more flow.

I'm not sure about the restrictions, that's just how it came. I think there may be 2 90s in the system, one going in the cylinder and another one somewhere else. Pump is not worn out, has 60 hours on it

I guess I’m in the minority but I like the tractor mounted splitter running off my rear remotes. I did not want to deal with another engine and I have the spitfire splitter - two way splitter so no waiting for the ram .4430 33 ton. It’s very fast. I don’t even run the tractor at a high rpm because I don’t need to. There is nothing it won’t split and it has an integrated log lifter. I don’t think a stand-alone exists that can match it.

That said I run it on a 75hp tractor with about 18gpm at the rear remotes, with a 25hp tractor which probably has 6-8gpm on the rear remotes I don’t know that it would work nearly as well.

75hp and 18gpm would send it for sure. I'm at 11.7 gpm.

I had thought about a splitter for my john deere with a pto pump, but I have a splitter, so there isn't much point.

I runt it only at about 1650 rpm. I’m not really sure what my flow is at that rpm, but it’s not max. I assume flow varies with rpm. With the two way splitter I just don’t need more speed out of it. Burns 0.8 gph when I’m running it like that.

That's less than most gas powered splitters.
