Log Splitters

Question 1

How is a log splitter easier than an axe?

Accepted Answer

Log splitters use powerful hydraulic or kinetic force to split logs quickly and safely, significantly reducing physical strain and time compared to using an axe. This means you can process more firewood with less effort and less risk of injury.

Question 2

What does "cycle time" mean for a log splitter, and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Cycle time is the time a log splitter takes to complete a full split, from pushing the log through the wedge to returning to the start position. Like the 11-sec. models, a faster cycle time means you can split more wood in less time, increasing your productivity, especially for larger jobs.

Question 3

How much splitting force (tons) do I need for my log splitter?

Accepted Answer

The right splitting force depends on the type and size of wood you typically split. For smaller, softer wood (like pine or fir under 12 inches in diameter), a 5-ton to 10-ton splitter might suffice, but for larger, tougher hardwoods like oak or maple (over 12 inches), consider a more powerful 20-ton or even a 30-ton model to ensure efficient and reliable splitting.

Question 4

Which log splitters are the best selling?

Accepted Answer

The 37 Ton 338 cc Gas Powered Full Beam Log Splitter w/ Vertical/Horizontal Operation and Auto Return with Hydraulic Oil is one of our best-selling log splitters.

Question 5

I'm dealing with some thick logs. What's the biggest diameter log splitter available, and are there any trade-offs?

Accepted Answer

We carry log splitters with max log diameters reaching up to 30 inches to handle those bigger jobs! Generally, larger max log diameters often come with higher splitting force (tonnage) and larger engine size, adding to the overall cost and weight.
