Using This Aachment
The attachment is designed to split wood, and shear and
prune trees.
The attachment is designed to be connected to the load-
er’s front auxiliary hydraulic couplers.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make improve-
ments, and to discontinue or change specications,
models or design without notice and without incurring
obligation.
Loader Compability
The attachment is designed for installation on loaders
with a minimum Rated Operating Capacity (ROC) of
1,500 lbs.
Conrm your loader’s Rated Operating Capacity (ROC)
in the loader operator’s manual. Conrm your attach-
ment’s ROC in Specications in this manual.
Do not install the attachment on the loader if the com-
bined weight of the attachment and attachment load will
exceed the loader ROC during operation because this
may cause diculty in controlling the loader or may
cause loader damage.
Do not exceed the attachment’s ROC because this may
damage the attachment.

operating in and inspect the attachment.
Inspect the Work Area
1. Conrm the area is clear of bystanders including
animals. Establish a safety zone by keeping bystand-
ers and animals beyond a 100 foot radius around the
attachment when operating.
Inspect the Aachment

der. If the attachment is damaged or not in working
order, do not operate until it has been repaired by a
qualied technician.
Descripon
Operang
Theory of Operaon
The Wood Splitter / Tree Shear hydraulic hoses are con-
nected to the loader front auxiliary hydraulic couplers.
The loader’s hydraulic controls are used to extend and
retract the hydraulic cylinder, which moves the slider
weldment, forcing the wood into the cutting edge or the
cross cut blades. The Wood Splitter / Tree Shear can be
assembled for operation with the boom out or the boom
sideways.

E - Hydraulic Cylinder Guard
F - Slider Weldment
G - Boom
H - Cung Edge
I - Cross Cut Blades (Opon-
al)
Picture note: Assembled for boom sideways operation.

12
2. Move the loader and tilt the attachment to position
the wood between the slider weldment (A) and the
cutting edge (B) with the wood against the boom
(C).
Picture note: Splitting with optional cross cut blades.
3. Use the loader hydraulic controls to extend the cyl-
inder and force the wood into the cutting edge and
cross cut blades.
4. When the wood has split as desired or the cylinder is
fully extended, use the loader hydraulic controls to
fully retract the cylinder.
5. Repeat to split the wood as needed.
Trimming or Pruning and Shearing Trees
1. Remove the cross cut blades if installed (See OP-
TIONAL ATTACHMENTS.)
IMPORTANT
AVOID DAMAGE!
Do not aempt to shear trees which are more than
8 inches in diameter. Shearing trees which are
more than 8 inches in diameter may damage the
aachment.
Operang
Picture note: Attachment installed for operation with
the boom out. Optional cross cut blades shown.
Picture note: Attachment installed for operation with
the boom sideways. Optional cross cut blades shown.
2. Use the loader hydraulic controls to retract the hy-
draulic cylinder, opening the area between the slider
weldment (A) and the cutting edge (B) far enough to
allow the tree to t between them.
3. Move the loader and tilt the attachment to position
the tree to be sheared or the limbs to be trimmed or
pruned between the cutting edge and the slider weld-
ment with the wood against the boom (C).

13
Operang
4. Use the loader hydraulic controls to extend the cylin-
der and force the wood into the cutting edge until it
is cut through.
5. Use the loader hydraulic controls to fully retract the
cylinder.
Using the Oponal Tree Catcher for Shear-
ing Trees
1. Install the tree catcher attachment (See OPTIONAL
ATTACHMENTS.)
2. Remove the cross cut blades if installed (See OP-
TIONAL ATTACHMENTS.)
IMPORTANT
AVOID DAMAGE!
Do not aempt to shear trees which are more than
8 inches in diameter. Shearing trees which are
more than 8 inches in diameter may damage the
aachment.
3. Follow shearing instructions (See Trimming or Prun-
ing and Shearing Trees).
4. Catch the tree between the top arms (A) and behind
the bottom arm (B) to transport.
Transporng the Aachment
On the Loader
Check to be sure the attachment is correctly installed on
the loader before hauling the loader on a trailor or truck.
Follow all loader, truck or trailer operator’s manual
instructions to safely haul the loader.
Hauling the Aachment
Follow all truck or trailer operator’s manual instructions
to securely fasten the attachment to the truck or trailer
with straps or chains.

14
Oponal Aachments
Cross Cut Blades
The standard cutting edge on the Wood Splitter / Tree
Shear is used for shearing and pruning, and will split
wood into two parts.
Install the cross cut blades to split wood into four parts.
One set of cross cut blades and hardware with an allen
wrench are shipped with the attachment from the factory.
Installing and Removing Cross Cut Blades
1. Remove the attachment or park the loader. (See
Parking Safely in this manual.)
Picture note: Install cross cut blades as shown with
small notch at bottom.
2. Install the left blade (A) on the left side of the cut-
ting edge as shown with four 3/4 x 2-1/4 at head
allen bolts (B) and install the right blade to the other
side of the cutting edge.
3. Remove the bolts and the blades when using the
Wood Splitter / Tree Shear for shearing, pruning or
trimming.
Tree Catcher
The tree catcher can be used to catch trees no more than
8 inches in diameter after shearing.
Installing the Tree Catcher
1. Remove the attachment or park the loader. (See
Parking Safely in this manual.)
2. Install the tree catcher on the main frame as shown
with eight 3/4 - 10 x 2-1/2 hex cap screws, and 3/4 -
10 hex nuts (A).

15
Greasing the Slide Weldment
1. Apply grease to the boom area (B) as needed to keep
the weldment sliding smoothly.
Replacing the Hydraulic Hoses or Cylinder
Note: If the attachment was assembled for sideways
operation, it may be easier to remove it from the loader
and tip it to position the cylinder guard on top for ser-
vicing.
1. Park the loader. (See Parking Safely in this manual.)
2. Disconnect the attachment hydraulic hoses from the
loader.
Remove the Cylinder Guard
Note: It may be easier to remove the cylinder mounting
pin if you attach a safe lifting device to the guard and
cylinder to take the weight o the pin.
