He shares candid opinions on the splitter's slow speed and wish-list features, but there's no walkaround, specs, or maintenance detail. Best for owners curious about real-world firewood chores with this tractor.
An owner-operator documenting routine chores on his own property with an established XR4040, offering casual firsthand impressions rather than a formal review.
It mounts on the three-point hitch and hooks up to the rear hydraulic remotes on the tractor, running off the tractor's hydraulics to split logs.
The owner says it does all right but is very, very slow, especially compared to nicer machines like the Easter Maids or Wolf Ridge.
In the video it cuts a field, hauls dead locust logs, and powers a three-point log splitter to fill a firewood tote with cherry, black locust, and Osage orange.
