Seen the Oxdale working on Oak/Ash and looked OK. Kubota no idea.

i run a 38 hp kubota l series with a oxdale log splitter the model what runs off tractor hydraulics i think its a good splitter for the money theres not a lot it wont split for a £500 splitter but then a thor super magik you looing at 3k but i would like one then the only wood i sell is my arb waste so i cant justifi it.

I used to sell Kubota equipment, brilliant range of kit, incredibly strong and well made, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say a bad word about it....

I recall taking a 6100 in as a PX, I'm a bit young to have sold them new I think, very simple & sturdy tool though. If it's in good condition then that would be a useful machine.

Yes 1st compact tractor I ever operated. Good little solid machine, about 14hp.Built in early 80s I guess, when hydraulics were not so important and not utilised as they are now. Mainly for cultivation and pto work, grass cutting, rotovating etc. Tow hitch is poor design.

To give you an idea of the hydraulic capability the nursery where I sometimes work grows trees and used the more powerful B7100 on a Damcon Bamboo cane machinery caning machine to push 10-20 diameter bamboo canes up to 30cm in the ground. The hydraulics on the B7100 was insufficient so instead a separate pto pump and tank etc (costly) was fitted and this did do the job at high revs. This year the B7100 has been replaced.

I did use a much moderner iseki TF321 21hp myself with a parmeter post knocker, fencing and this was less than Ideal for cycle rate. Even with a screw type log splitter this tractor could stall. This is my experience's and I assume you want to process faster and do larger pieces than you would with an axe. Will be interested how you get on.

I use a Bryce suma post knocker on a case 4230 tractor which couldn't lift the post knocker, I had a pair of lift arms shortened only a few inches and later fitted an auxillary lift ram kit. Now Im using it on an 84hp tractor when the minimum recommended is 100hp. So you may get round this, I wish you well.

Hi Tree Man Tom, picked it up today-2 owners from new the last one had it from 1982, gen 677 hrs on clock also in the deal wessex 710 topper and a link box and road registerd, had a demo yesterday of the oxdale 400 pto splitter-small but has a good head on it, it will be fine for the work i have in mind, the idear is its so small as a tractor splitter unit that as an add on service we will access clients gardens and fully process all arizings on site. I have got demand for this even within urban sites, it could work out well who knows, its all work and money at the end of the day.
