The Ryetec vertical log splitter mounts on Cat 1 and 2 three-point linkage. The tractor hydraulic version suits modern tractors with oil flows over 50 litres per minute and is not recommended for older low-flow tractors. Otherwise, choose PTO drive with its own oil tank and pump, a combination PTO and hydraulic version, or 3-phase electric.
The Ryetec vertical log splitter comes in three models: CV12, CV16 and CV22, giving 12, 16 or 22 tons of splitting force. Standard maximum log length is 1.10 m, with 1.25 m available on the 12 and 16 ton models and 1.40 m on the 22 ton model.
Ryetec's Professional splitters give 7–10 tonnes for heavy domestic and commercial firewood and run from a 13 amp plug, petrol engine or tractor. Vertical splitters give 12–22 tons with waist-height splitting. Horizontal splitters give 13–30 tons, with 40 and 50 ton models to order, and split cordwood up to 3 m long.
Tractor hydraulic drive suits modern tractors with good oil flow; Ryetec recommends over 50 litres per minute for its vertical splitters and does not recommend tractor hydraulics for older, low-flow tractors or for horizontal splitters over 1.05 m. PTO drive, with its own oil tank and pump, works independently of the tractor's hydraulics.
