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 |

| 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 |
