PTO Log Splitter

The Troy-Bilt
®
PTO Log Splitter provides
you with a convenient and easy means of
splitting about a half a cord of wood per
hour when working alone. When
connected to the PTO Power Unit, the
tiller’s engine runs the splitter’s hydraulic
pump, providing you with 13 tons of
steady, unhurried and predictable splitting
force.
As an added benefit, the power-driven
mobility provided by the PTO Power Unit
allows you to move the splitter to and
from your wood pile, over to a neighbor’s
place, or along the woodpile to a fresh
supply of logs.
Features include a 15 second splitting
cycle; can handle log sizes up to 26" long;
a two-stage hydraulic pump that automat-
ically shifts into low gear to provide four-
times greater pressure when needed;
slim-cut wedge design for splitting green,
stringy wood; and an auto-control valve
for automatic return stroke.
Dozer/Snow Blade Attachment
290-259-081
In the winter, moves up to one foot of
light snow (or 6"-to-8" of heavy snow); at
other times use it to move or spread
sand, gravel, loose dirt, grain, sawdust,
etc. Attaches easily to the front of the
Wrap-Around Bumper Guard. Set the
blade to several angles. Weighs 41-lbs.;
measures 15" x 32".
Row Marker Attachment
290-257-081
Do you like very straight, even, neat rows
in your garden? If so, the Row Marker is
a must attachment. Hooks quickly to the
Hiller/Furrower attachment– eliminates
the need for string, stakes, measuring
tape, etc. You’ll like the straight rows it
helps you make if you lay out furrows, dig
compost trenches, or make raised beds.
The Row Marker extends from 28"-to-
49
3
⁄
4", letting you vary the width between
rows to suit the crop you’re planting.
V-Sweep Cultivator
290-260-081
The V-Sweep Cultivator is a specialized
tool designed for between-row crop culti-
vation. Instead of stirring the soil, it
slices through just below the surface to
eliminate practically any weeds in its path.
The Sweep mounts easily to the optional
Tow Hitch Attachment at the rear of the
PTO Power Unit. The blade is made of
high carbon, heat treated steel and
measures 2" wide (overall wing span is
20").
The unique way the Sweep works,
skimming along just underneath the soil’s
surface without turning the soil over,
makes this the ideal tool for use in dry,
dusty conditions where it is important to
keep soil disturbance to a minimum.
And, because of its 20" wide cutting path,
it does an effective cultivation job at a fast
speed.
The Sweep’s natural shallow cultivation
helps to prevent weed seeds from being
brought to the soil’s surface. This
shallow cultivation feature also means
there’s less chance of damaging the roots
of your vegetables. For deeper or more
shallow cultivating, the blade depth can
be changed with a simple adjustment..
Wheel Weights
290-266-081
Help increase traction by putting extra
weight directly on the wheels. They
reduce bucking and jumping when deep-
tilling in heavy soil. They’re shipped
empty– fill them with material like
concrete, sand, gravel, etc. They bolt
directly to the tiller wheels.
Wrap-Around Bumper Guard
290-255-081
Order this Bumper Guard by itself or
receive it as one of the components if you
order the combination Dozer/ Snow Blade
attachment. Protects the engine from
damage by wrapping around and protect-
ing many of the engine components. 1"
diameter, high-strength steel tubing.
Hiller/Furrower Attachment
290-250-081
The most popular attachment because it
does so many jobs. Mounts to the rear of
the depth regulator bracket. Furrower
blade easily makes plant rows, trenches,
ditches to 8" deep. When hiller wings are
attached to furrower blade, attachment
makes hilled rows and raised bed
gardens. Converts from a furrower to a
hiller and back again, in seconds, without
tools.
