Read articles →This is a manufacturer walkaround of the Split-Fire 3203 log splitter's optional PTO kit, shown mounted on a Kioti CS2220, aimed at owners of compact/subcompact tractors lacking the hydraulic flow for a standard 3-point splitter. It explains the kit's components (reservoir, PTO pump, torque arm, filter), demonstrates running it at idle versus half throttle, cites 11.4 GPM at 540 PTO RPM, hookup time, and 200-hour oil/filter maintenance. Useful for buyers specifically weighing the PTO option.
Posted by the Split-Fire Sales Inc. channel, so this is a manufacturer-produced product explainer rather than an independent review.
This Kioti doesn't have the flow or pressure to run the three-point hitch log splitter, so the optional PTO kit powers it like a self-contained machine.
At a true 540 PTO RPM, the pump pushes 11.4 gallons per minute, giving plenty of pressure and splitting tonnage.
If you get good at it, it can be hooked up in about ten minutes, and it comes off in less than ten minutes with a stand.
Maintenance is just the oil. You put in a new filter and switch the oil every 200 hours or so.
