6.5 ton - Log Splitters - The Home Depot

Question 1

What does "tonnage" mean, and how much do I need for a log splitter?

Accepted Answer

Tonnage refers to the force the log splitter can exert. The higher the tonnage, the larger and tougher the logs it can split. For most homeowners splitting seasoned firewood, a 20-ton splitter is usually sufficient, but for larger, denser, or green logs, consider a 25-ton or higher model.

Question 2

What are the advantages of an electric log splitter over a gas model?

Accepted Answer

Electric log splitters are a great alternative to gas because they're quieter, produce zero emissions, and require less maintenance since there are no oil changes or spark plugs to worry about. They are ideal for homeowners who want a convenient, eco-friendly option for splitting firewood in their yard or garage.

Question 3

What kind of maintenance does a log splitter need?

Accepted Answer

Maintaining your log splitter is easy but remember to keep it in good condition to extend its lifespan and avoid breakdowns. Regular maintenance includes checking fluid levels (for hydraulic models), lubricating moving parts, and inspecting for damage before each use. Keeping the machine clean is essential for optimal performance.
