Why The Iron & Oak Skid Steer Log Splitter Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a splitter attachment, it's a cab-operated system that lets the operator split logs without ever leaving the safety and comfort of the skid steer.
The Iron & Oak Skid Steer Mount specifically addresses the needs of tree care professionals and landscaping contractors who already run a skid steer and want to add splitting capability without stepping outside the machine.
Split Without Leaving The Cab. Unlike attachments that require the operator to work outside the machine, this splitter is operated 100% from the cab, meaning faster cycles, less physical exposure to the job site, and a safer overall operation.
Built For Real Production Work
Durable, long-lasting industrial-grade I-beam handles the stress of repeated splitting cycles
Rated for fully loaded continuous use, unlike lighter attachments built for occasional jobs
Quick attach skid steer plate allows fast swaps between this and other attachments
Engineered For Safety And Durability
Welded safety step included for safer access when needed
Long-lasting powder coat finish resists wear and weather exposure
Splits with up to 30 tons of force depending on the host skid steer's hydraulic output
Real Savings
Cab-operated design eliminates the need for a second operator or manual positioning outside the machine
Quick attach compatibility lets you use existing skid steer investment instead of buying a standalone splitter
Rated for continuous use, reducing the risk of premature wear from underbuilt components
Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Tree care professionals and landscaping contractors who already run a skid steer can't afford a splitter attachment that pulls the operator out of the cab or can't handle continuous use. The Iron & Oak Skid Steer Mount is built with an industrial I-beam frame and cab-operated convenience, so it turns your existing machine into a productive splitting station. For anyone looking to add splitting capability to a skid steer fleet, this is the attachment built for the job.
