NO!Dont use a tractor to pull it apart!You cant control finely enough and the tractor hydralics will settle. You could/will tear up something.I commonly split on dirt.You need to get a proper splitting stand.Make one as I did. Dont try to save(money)by useing a floor jack as some do.That is an accident/disaster/tragedy waiting to happen.Block/secure the rear half.Placelong 2x6,8,10 etc under tractor.Even 1/2 plywood will work if dirt floor is aomewhat hard.Lay 3 or 4 4x8 sheets crossways on the floor and then park the tractor on them(You now have a 'hard' floor).Put stand on front and rool the front away useing the wood as a 'hard' smooth surface.Kinda a PIA,but it works.And Ive done up to 125 horse tractors that way.I some times use a comealong to help to slide them together(something you can feel).Good luck. If you need to call,pleaase do. cell(970)417-1178 Steve
