Tractor Log Splitter

A tractor log splitter is a hydraulic attachment powered by your tractor’s PTO, designed to quickly and safely turn large logs into firewood. Unlike manual splitting, this PTO powered log splitter delivers consistent force for tough timber and high volumes, making firewood production faster, easier, and safer. The Wessex LS100 is a UK-built vertical log splitter for compact tractors (30HP+), offering up to 10 tons of hydraulic force and a ground-level platform for secure log positioning.

Wessex LS100  Log Splitter

The LS100 compact tractor attachment for log splitting simplifies log processing at floor level. Its low platform allows effortless timber placement, while the strong cutting wedge handles logs up to 18”/450 mm. Both hands remain free during operation, keeping you compliant with safety best practices.

For moving firewood after splitting, check out our ATV log trailer — perfect for woodland or rural areas. Handling large or awkward logs? Our log arch provides a low-impact solution for lifting and transporting timber.
