How to the define how powerful should be my log splitter?
Log splitters’ force is measured by Tonnage (5 Ton, 10 Ton, 20 Ton…), what represent the weight we’d need to place over the log to split it (instead of hitting it with an axe). When we use a 5 Ton log splitter it is like we place 10,000 pounds over the log to make it split.
OK but… how much Tons do I need to split my logs?
Considering you are going to split seasoned logs, the Tonnage (force) needed to split the logs is basically determined by two factors:
1) Tree’s hardness (Softwood or Hardwood?);
2) Logs’ thickness.
It happens because each different tree species may have different hardnesses and, also, the thicker is log, stronger it will be. So, to be sure that your log splitter will be able to split your logs, before taking the decision of which model you’ll be, we strongly recommend you to check on the table below what’s the Tonnage you’ll need, based on your Tree’s hardness and logs’ thickness.
| Tree | Wood Type | 6 inches | 12 inches | 18 inches | 24 inches |
|---|
| Aspen | Softwood | 4 ton | 12 ton | 20 ton | 27 ton |
| Spruce | Softwood | 4 ton | 12 ton | 20 ton | 27 ton |
| Poplar | Softwood | 4 ton | 12 ton | 20 ton | 27 ton |
| Fir | Softwood | 6 ton | 15 ton | 20 ton | 27 ton |
| Pine | Softwood | 6 ton | 15 ton | 20 ton | 27 ton |
| Cedar | Hardwood | 6 ton | 15 ton | 20 ton | 27 ton |
| Walnut | Hardwood | 7 ton | 20 ton | 26 ton | 30 ton |
| Magnolia | Hardwood | 7 ton | 20 ton | 26 ton | 30 ton |
| Beech | Hardwood | 7 ton | 20 ton | 26 ton | 30 ton |
| Ash | Hardwood | 7 ton | 20 ton | 26 ton | 30 ton |
| Maple | Hardwood | 7 ton | 20 ton | 26 ton | 30 ton |
| Birch | Hardwood | 7 ton | 20 ton | 26 ton | 30 ton |
| Elm | Hardwood | 10 ton | 22 ton | 26 ton | 30 ton |
| Oak | Hardwood | 10 ton | 22 ton | 26 ton | 30 ton |

Fantastic!One handed operation.Store vertical.Quiet.Easily split my wood and several pieces that were impossible to hand split. Does everything I need it to do and then some. All my bonfire and camping trip wood is split and ready to go. This splitter saved me a lot of sweat and sore muscles, it also allows me to make even smaller pieces of wood, much smaller than I ever could by swinging a hand tool.Get one! You’ll love it !!

Heavy duty and easy to use. It splits without objection so far. The crummy box is like leprosy on a suicide mission. Styrofoam everywhere and junk on disassembly. Needs more wood and plastic over foam. Pump is almost loud enough to need ear protection.

I recently purchased this model and haven’t used it enough to see how it will hold up over time, but man does that thing split wood!! Was easy to assemble and looks very well made. Would have been nice if it would have had options for Hydraulic hose fittings as I had to make 2 trips to the implement dealership to get the right ends. I really like the auto retract feature, and this saves time. I would recommend purchasing one.

Bought this unit on 23 Aug 2019. Great unit. I paid less than todays price. I suggest writing down all the pertinent info before operating unit. Model, serial number, etc. Ram will wipe out the sticker on first run. It should be located at the end of beam, near handle. Other than that, it is a great buy and a good unit.

This is one stout little beast! So far, I’m very impressed with its capability. Sure…..a 25 ton gas powered splitter is going to be faster and more capable, but with a little patience this machine can tackle most logs. One thing I don’t like is having to remember to open the wingnut vent. It’s easy to forget and blowing the seals if I do would really be upsetting!
