I opted to go with a separate log splitter.

The hydraulic system on your B7610 should use Kubota Super UDT to stay healthy and trouble free, and that stuff is very pricey.

A good log splitter needs a very large hydraulic fluid capacity to stay cool so the pumps don't fail. And you are supposed to change the fluid in the splitter much more often than your tractor.

I figured the money I would save by not having another engine could disappear quickly under high use.

One of our members,DRankin, has had the 3 point splitter on a Deere for several years and he might be able to give us some insight on how he is doing with it.

With some implements, the practical way to go is to buy a rear-hitch attachment (mower, bale spear). But with others, a stand-alone usually makes more sense. Cement mixer, rototiller, especially a splitter. And if you don't even have the power attachments .... ....

I'd recommend a seperate power source for the splitter as well! ....
