Vertical / Horizontal - Log Splitters - The Home Depot

Question 1

What's the difference between a log splitter with a 13-second cycle time versus a 16-second cycle time? Which is better?

Accepted Answer

A log splitter with a 13-sec. cycle time is faster than one with a 16-sec. cycle time, meaning it will complete the splitting process more quickly. While faster is often preferred for higher volume, consider balancing speed with other factors like splitting force and log capacity – a slightly slower cycle time might be worth splitting tougher or larger logs more efficiently.

Question 2

What are some of the best-selling log splitters?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

What are some popular brands of log splitters?

Accepted Answer

Some popular brands known for high-quality log splitters include DEWALT, SWISHER, and XtremepowerUS.

Question 4

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.

Question 5

I have a lot of large, tough logs to split. What should I look for in a log splitter?

Accepted Answer

If you're dealing with tough logs regularly, a gas-powered log splitter with a higher tonnage rating (25 tons or more) will provide the necessary power and force to make the job easier. Look for features like a powerful engine, durable construction, and a fast cycle time to increase your productivity.
