About This Product

When You Demand Power This 35-ton full-beam high-powered wood splitter is sturdy enough and powerful enough to handle heavy-duty log splitting jobs. The patent-pending U-Beam design is significantly stronger and more durable than the typical I beam found elsewhere. Powered by a Briggs & Stratton XR1450 10.5HP 306cc engine, and ergonomically designed for optimal performance, safety and ease of use, this horizontal and vertical log splitter cuts through wood effortlessly and efficiently, log after log. The size and weight make it a great option for frequent towing. Other features included as standard are protective log cradles on both sides, solid stamped steel fenders, and the patent-pending log spinner plate that reduces stress on the beam.

Highlights

  • Powered by Briggs & Stratton XR1450 10.5HP 306cc engine
  • Patent-pending log spinner foot plate easily rotates logs for splitting, reducing stress on the beam
  • Patent-pending U-Beam structural design is significantly stronger than typical I-Beam design
  • 7.5 in. 2-way wedge easily splits larger diameter wood into 2 pieces
  • Longer table length to accommodate up to 26 in. logs
  • Oversized hydraulic components provide the shortest cycle time in its class
  • Hydraulic oil filter is mounted inside the reservoir, eliminating damage from falling logs and operator entanglement
  • Dual end cylinder support for equal weight distribution and wear reduction
  • Beam handle offers easy transition from a horizontal to a vertical position
  • Log stripper mounted to end of hydraulic cylinder to remove tough log jams

Questions & Answers

I understand you don't offer a 4-way wedge but is there any reason I couldn't make one or find one that I could use on the 30 or 35 ton units?

          Answer This Question

          Hello Andy, None of our log splitters are sold with the 4-way wedge at this time. The 4-way wedge was discontinued earlier this year and was removed from all online listings on our website as well as our partner retailers. This decision was made after we completed a thorough cost analysis that determined the value provided was not equatable to the cost of manufacturing. As of now we are only including our standard 2-way wedge with all of our gas powered log splitters. Please let us know if you have any questions moving forward. Thank you!

            Does it have a auto return on the hydraulic function?

            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Yes, it does. You have to operate the "return" function on the lever and it will retract to the top of the cylinder or manually stop.

            Thank you for informing me HOW to access the hydraulic filter; NOW, since your OP Manual NEITHER stipulates this, what filter # do I replace it with and where can I get one and how much is it? Someone told me yesterday that they did not think it had a filter but ONLY a non-replaceable screen which does not remove anything like a REAL filter. Is that true?

              You say that the hydraulic filter is "mounted" in the tank. In the operator's manual there is no mention of this filter in the care and maintenance section; only changing the fluid??? How is one supposed to change this filter to keep the unit from failing or premature wear out of all of the hydraulic fluid seals and the pump piston/cylinder??? I am more interested in knowing how LONG this great investment will last. Even though it works great for just 3-5 yrs, if it wears out shortly after that I have been a fool to buy it. How does one regularly change the hydraulic fluid filter?

              Answer This Question

              The hydraulic filter is mounted in the hydraulic tank. The hose connects to the tank and is held in place by 6 hex-head bolts. If you remove those bolts, the filter is inside this mount.

                It appears that the operator handle is horizontal to the unit. Can it be positioned in the vertical position?

                Hi Dave, Thanks for visiting our site! This log splitter is operable both horizontal and vertically. The control lever operates the same in either position. It travels parallel to the mast in both positions. When the lever is moved, the boom moves in that direction. Thank you for asking, -Travis

                When I picked it up I was a little concerned because the crate was almost completely destroyed. Once I got it home ad read the directions I assembled it by myself even though the directions said two people where need to assemble it. Other that it being heavy it wasn't all that hard to assemble. I have now used it and split about half a cord of wood and it works great. I have split logs from 4 inches in diameter to logs 20 inches in diameter up to 22 inches long. It is easy to start and runs smooth. So for I have had no issues with it.

                We reviewed the models for some time and then decided to purchase a larger splitter because we already had 3 large trees cut to 16" long logs and some logs were over 2' in diameter. We are so glad we chose this model. This splitter was able to handle these huge logs with ease. Took us less than 2 hours to get a cord of wood split. This log splitter is definitely heavy duty and can handle the toughest logs. The assembly instructions were well written and made for a fairly simple process but I will say that with my wife and I in our 50's we wondered if we could lift the beam. We ended up using a ratchet strap connected to a tree to help us lift it into place. Then we tied it off to a total of 4 trees (we live in the woods) so that it could not possibly tip over. This helped tremendously with the rest of the assembly. We simply could not be happier with this product and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tough machine that can handle your largest logs.

                    I bought this 35 ton log splitter to replace a 31 ton model. The new one split large eucalyptus and oak rounds (20-30" dia.) with large knots with ease. It will cut through whatever it can't split. I have added a wheeled/adjustable front support to replace the standard one. Assembly was relatively smooth but required two very strong people and a third for positioning. I have had it for a couple of weeks and split at least 2 cords of wood. I use it primarily in the vertical mode because of the size of the wood and have not installed the side log supports. The engine starts easily and runs well even though I have not used full throttle.

                      I’ve been splitting wood for 40 plus years and have used many different splitters.The yardmax 35 ton,in my opinion is the best value on the market today.This splitter is quality all the way through with no short cuts on materials used to build it.Splits without any problem any wood you can physically put on it.I have split everything up to 36inch green wet oak and it never hesitated.I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and Home Depot made the purchase and pick up process very consumer friendly and easy.I was unsure if the crate the splitter came in would fit in my truck and called Home Depot to see if they could give me measurements on the crate.Within five minutes of calling the store customer service had my measurements.Thank You Home Depot!!
