Any recomendations for a 3PTH wood splitter? Source, brand, and price? Are they worth it? What are their limitations? I have a 9N I would like to attach it too. And, Norhtern Tool Supply asks: is it a closed system tractor? what's that? and what class is a 9N?..they ask that question too. Class 2 or 3? Never heard of this before...but they want to know if I order their 400.00 one. It has a 4x24 hydraulic on it. Is that good? or cheap? thanks in advance. p.s. We plan to use it for persoanl non-production/industrial use for firewood and only a couple days a year or so. tm

new idea used to build them. I bought mine used for 125$Ideal because it is easily moved around, especially so becauseafter you split for ten minutes, you can raise it up some and keep on going, Then move forward,...If it is closed center, the you just tie back the lever on your tractor and keep the fluid pressurized at the valve located on the splitter itself.Mine withdraws faster then it extends, due to surface area/ fluid volume ratios.Nrthn hyd's probably same. Class 2/3 refers to diameter of 3pth attach.4" dia. is fine. 24 " long is fine if all your firewood is sawed to about 18" (+ or - 3" and it will then still fit easily)$400 is probably without the valve, which you will want.I assume you have a hyd outlet on your 9n, if not you will need a hyd pump to mount to the pto. I would buy a different tractor before retrofitting the tractor, buying a pump.... well probably would consider buying the pump used at the right price, but a 9n... probably would trade in before investing in a new pump. pretty sure they are salty >opinion< In all if you have a tractor, with hyd. outlets The 3pth mount woodsplitter is 10 times better then a briggs and stratton backbreaker model.

I personally would not use one on any tractor with an underslung exhaust. I used one on a friend's 8N for half a day and was sick for two days. If I were going to do it again I would put a hose on the exhaust pipe and run it off somewhere where I wouldn't have to breathe it. Other than that they are a good splitter, although pretty slow with the regular tractor hydraulic system. If the splitter has its own PTO pump ar you can tap into a loader pump they are fast enough.

I had a Danuser wood splitter and I liked it. I no longer own it as I built a new home and no longer burn wood. At the time I owned a Ford 2000 with a Ford industrial grade front loader with front mount pump. I had it plumbed with a valve that let me redirect the hydrualic fluid to the wood splitter. The loaders pump put out a lot more gallons per minute and it really helped the performance of the splitter. I felt it was a very good combination.

Closed does refer to the hyd system, it would be either a closed or open center system. I believe your ford has a open center system. You will also need a valve on your tractor to divert the hyd fluid flow from the 3pth to the remote to which the wood splitter will attach.

Class has to do with the 3-point hitch...you need to know the diameter of the holes on the lift arms...click on "3-point specs" on the left side of this page.
Closed system I think has to do with the hydraulics but I'm no expert so maybe someone else can explain.
