Hello,

I purchased a new CountyLine 22 ton log splitter from Tractor Supply today, with a Kohler 3000 series (SH265) engine. I can't seem to find anywhere, but how do I change the oil on this thing?

Probably a dumb question, I know, but can't see it in the manual, or find a single video of it anywhere.

Thanks for the help.

For the hour or so that I used it today, it's a beast. Ran flawless, and split anything I threw at it. Biggest pieces I had were maybe 30" round. Overall, for the money, seems to be a really nice machine.
 
The drain plug should be on the base of the engine on the opposite side from the hydraulic oil tank on the splitter.

A small hand pump work's just fine for removing the old oil. Just be careful not to overfill when refilling.....
 
if it is a vertical shaft unit- crankcase oil plug on bottom of eng. - very inconvenient
 
It's a horizontal shaft engine.

Drain plug is like photo above, I just didn't see it before. Thank you!
 
What do you guys use for motor oil for these things?
 
Here in MO a SAE 30w works just fine. May have to fine tune that for your NH temps.

Excellent. I've used it more than 5-6 hours now, so would like to do the first oil change. Thanks!

I actually rigged up a 2" ball to my Ariens riding mower, so I can tow it around my yard now. Epic. Haha

I hear ya. It's the only way to fly ;-) Our Deere has an 1 1/4" receiver hitch on the front and back.
