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.

No. However depending on the model, you may need to assemble the operating level. See manual for instruction.

I have had this item for a while. Really like it for dry wood. The only thing I dont like is it won’t cut almost wet wood or hard wood. Pine,willow,juniper,and pecan cuts well.
This is a great little machine. I replaced a 30 ton gas powered unit with this and I was prepared to be underwhelmed. I was pleasantly suprised with this lightweight powerful tool. There isn’t a safety switch, so you can use your hand to steady large logs. I was splitting 20″ pine logs with ease. The best part it used 110 household current and you can use it indoors, such as your garage.
One hand operation, the way they should be, I’m splitting some of my maple and birch into smaller pieces when I come across a big one,goes down through like butter very nice unit. I would recommend this splitter to anybody I’m sure it will last us for years.
