Overview
A woodpile behind a garage is the place for this horizontal gas log splitter, where a two stage gear pump drives the ram and an auto return system brings it back quickly. A full beam steel wedge does the splitting.
A gas engine frees it from an outlet, and the auto return shortens each cycle. The listing does not give log length, diameter limits or a tow package, so check those before buying.
Who it's for
Households that burn wood and have space to lay logs flat will find the horizontal layout natural. Heavy production or very large rounds point to a larger towable splitter.
Pros and cons
- Gas engine, no cord
- Fast auto return ram
- Two stage gear pump
- Steel wedge on a full beam
- Log size limits missing
- Not described as towable
- Package dimensions only
Performance notes
A two stage pump moves the ram quickly under light load and slows to full force when the wedge meets resistance. Cycle time depends on stroke length, which is not listed. Horizontal layout means logs must be lifted onto the beam.
