I was going to make a log splitter to go on the cub, thinking a mounted one on a sleeve hitch run off the cub, either split from hydro or a pump run off the back of the engine. I found a 20 ton used for a good price so I will just pull it around with the cub instead. I still like the idea of one on the back, but I am betting it would be way to slow moving the cub around instead of rolling the wood to it.

How well does that splitter work? I am looking for faster ram speeds, that is the biggest problem I have with most splitters, too slow.

When starting this machine I felt the most I would use a woodsplitter would be 5 days a year, if it was going to take up space it had to do something on some of those other 360 days!!

The CAD-Tr Model 6 has a slot on the end so attachments can be replaced by simply pulling a pin.

The slot accepts a piece of 1x8 hot rolled steel bar. Anything I can make out of or weld to the 1x8 steel bar can become an attachment for the Model 6.

The first attachment was the heavy wall tube (1/2" thick) shown in a previous post, to remove a shaft from a bearing or as noted could compress a Cub Cadet clutch spring!!

The second attachment I made was a 2 stage splitting wedge which will split wood into 3 pieces with each stroke.
A 3-way wedge makes quick work of oak firewood.

Now I need recommendations as to what attachment to make next, any recommendations??

That is cool! Awesome idea and great build. Looks great!

As for fast wood splitting, it reminded me of this video.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
