It is designed for use with skid steers, tractors and excavators. The specification lists suitable excavators in the 5–12 tonne class. Always confirm your carrier's hydraulic and coupler compatibility before purchase.
Dimensions are listed as 250 × 250 × 446 mm (diameter × width × length). The product spec shows a weight of 1350.000 KG and a length of 446 mm. Please verify weight with the supplier or product manual if exact lifting/transport loads are critical.
The 8 Ton rating refers to the maximum splitting force the unit is rated to produce. It indicates the attachment can handle most residential and many commercial splitting tasks, but very large, heavily knotted hardwoods may require a higher-capacity machine or multiple passes.
Hydraulic requirements are not listed in the provided spec. Contact RAY Attachments or your dealer for the exact recommended flow (L/min) and pressure (bar/psi). As a general guideline, similar excavator/skid-steer attachments commonly operate within roughly 25–80 L/min and 150–250 bar, but you must confirm the precise values for safe and efficient operation.
The output shaft is a 75 mm square. You will need a compatible gearbox/adapter or coupler on your carrier that accepts a 75 mm square shaft. Check your machine's attachment interface and consult your dealer for any required adapter plates or couplers.
The auger cone diameter is listed as 250 mm, so you should expect reliable splitting for logs up to roughly that diameter. Actual performance depends on wood species, knots and whether the carrier's hydraulic output meets the attachment requirements.
The unit is described as compact with quick and easy setup for immediate use. Actual installation time depends on your carrier, required adapters and hydraulic hookups. Follow the manufacturer instructions and have required fittings and tools ready.
Regularly inspect hydraulic hoses and fittings for wear or leaks, check fasteners, and replace worn or damaged parts (seals, bearings, cutting edges) as needed. Keep the attachment clean and free of debris, and follow any greasing or service intervals recommended in the product manual.
The product lists a 3-year warranty. Warranty terms vary—typically covering defects in materials and workmanship but excluding normal wear, misuse, improper installation, and consumable parts. Review the detailed warranty policy from RAY Attachments or your seller for exact coverage and claim procedures.
It can be used on frozen or wet wood, but performance may be slower and more demanding on the attachment and hydraulic system. Frozen, very knotty or extremely large logs increase wear and may require more hydraulic power or additional passes.
Replacement parts and service should be available through RAY Attachments or their authorized dealers. Contact your supplier for part numbers, availability and local service centers.
Always read and follow the operator manual. Typical safety measures include: wear appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection, steel-toe boots), secure bystanders away from the work area, ensure the carrier is stable and on firm ground, shut off hydraulics and engine before servicing, and never place hands or limbs near the rotating cone while operating.
Splitting speed depends on your carrier's hydraulic flow/pressure, log diameter, species and knotting. Under adequate hydraulic power, many logs can be split in a matter of seconds; heavier or more stubborn wood will take longer.
Contact RAY Attachments or your authorized dealer/distributor for technical questions, ordering, installation support and warranty service. Your seller can also advise on required hydraulic fittings and mounting adapters for your carrier.
