RamSplitter 20-Ton Upside-Down Skid Steer Log Splitter Attachment (SSUD20)

20-Ton Ram Force • 25" Log Opening • Upside-Down Operation • Hydraulic Hoses and Couplers Included

Split large, heavy rounds without lifting them onto a conventional log splitter with the RamSplitter SSUD20 Upside-Down Skid Steer Log Splitter Attachment. Its inverted configuration allows the operator to approach logs from above, position them with the skid steer, and split them directly on the ground while remaining inside the cab.

The SSUD20 delivers 20 tons of ram force through a welded 4-inch × 24-inch hydraulic cylinder. A hardened-steel, 8-inch-high single wedge handles logs up to 25 inches long, while the manufacturer lists a maximum log diameter of 40 inches.

Key Features & Benefits

• 20 Tons of Splitting Force
  Delivers up to 40,000 lbs. of published ram force for processing large rounds and difficult wood.
• Upside-Down Splitting Design
  Lets the operator pick up, reposition, and split logs directly on the ground without manually lifting them onto a beam.
• Operate from the Skid Steer Cab
  Reduces manual log handling and allows the splitting process to be controlled through the skid steer’s auxiliary hydraulics.
• 25-Inch Maximum Log Length
  Provides a 24-inch cylinder stroke and accommodates logs measuring up to approximately 25 inches long.
• Up to 40-Inch Log Diameter
  The open inverted design allows the attachment to work with large rounds within the manufacturer’s published diameter rating.
• 8-Inch Hardened-Steel Wedge
  The tall single wedge provides substantial contact with logs during the splitting cycle.
• Heavy-Duty Tube-Steel Beam
  Rugged beam construction supports demanding firewood, forestry, and property-maintenance applications.
• Welded Hydraulic Cylinder
  Equipped with a 4-inch × 24-inch cylinder and a 1.75-inch rod.
• Hydraulic Hoses Included
  Supplied with wire-reinforced hydraulic hoses for connection to a compatible auxiliary hydraulic system.
• Quick-Disconnect Couplers Included
  Helps simplify attachment installation and removal.
• Multiple Mounting Options
  Available with compatible universal or Dingo mounting configurations.
• Compact Attachment Design
  Measures approximately 72 inches long and weighs 425 lbs., making it manageable to transport and store when disconnected.

Split Large Logs Without Manual Lifting

Oversized rounds can be difficult and unsafe to lift onto a traditional horizontal splitter. The upside-down configuration allows the skid steer to do the lifting and positioning.

The operator can:

1. Approach the log with the wedge raised.
2. Position the splitter over the round.
3. Lower the attachment onto the log.
4. Activate the auxiliary hydraulics to complete the split.
5. Reposition the log for additional splits without leaving the cab.

This setup is especially useful for large rounds located around tree-removal sites, wooded properties, farms, and firewood-processing areas.

Available Mounting Configurations

The SSUD20 is offered with different mounting-plate configurations:

• Universal mounting plate
• Dingo mounting plate
• MT mounting configuration

Current product information states that the universal plate now fits MT mounts and that the separate MT version is no longer being produced. Mount compatibility should be verified before ordering.

Ideal Applications

The RamSplitter SSUD20 is well suited for:

• Splitting oversized rounds
• Commercial and residential firewood processing
• Tree-service cleanup
• Forestry and woodland maintenance
• Farm and ranch use
• Storm-damaged tree cleanup
• Land-clearing operations
• Splitting logs directly where they are located

Quick Specifications

The cycle time and operating speed depend on the skid steer’s hydraulic flow, pressure, engine speed, and auxiliary hydraulic configuration.

• Wire-reinforced hydraulic hoses
• Quick-disconnect hydraulic couplers
• User manual

Optional Four-Way Wedge

A compatible four-way wedge is available separately for operators who want to divide suitable straight-grain logs into four sections during a single splitting cycle.

The optional wedge should only be used with the compatible 20-ton upside-down skid steer splitter and properly matched mounting hardware.

Important Compatibility Information

Before ordering, confirm that the skid steer or mini skid steer has:

• The correct quick-attach mounting configuration
• Compatible auxiliary hydraulic pressure and flow
• Matching hydraulic couplers
• Adequate lift capacity
• Adequate operating capacity for the attachment and log
• Sufficient hydraulic-hose routing and clearance

The attachment weighs approximately 425 lbs. before a log is lifted. The skid steer must be capable of safely controlling the combined weight of the attachment and material.

Important Operating Information

Keep all people and animals clear of the attachment, wedge, log, and skid steer during operation. Logs can roll, shift, or separate unexpectedly.

Operate from the skid steer cab with the restraint system engaged. Use the attachment only on stable terrain and follow the safety instructions supplied with both the skid steer and splitter.
