Description
Operating
Theory of Operation
The Wood Splitter / Tree Shear hydraulic hoses are con-
nected to the loader front auxiliary hydraulic couplers.
The loader’s hydraulic controls are used to extend and
retract the hydraulic cylinder, which moves the slider
weldment, forcing the wood into the cutting edge or the
cross cut blades. The Wood Splitter / Tree Shear can be
assembled for operation with the boom out or the boom
sideways.
