Well made splitter

Unit arrived packaged very well. Assembly instruction are clear and everything went well until I got to putting on the wheels. They would not go far enough onto the spindles to be able to **** the castle nut on far enough to allow the cotter pins to go thru the hole in the spindle. I eventually had to use a dremel and grinding wheel to removed enough material so the wheels went on far enough to get the castle nut on and the cotter pin that holds them in place thru the hole made for that purpose.
When fastening the log trays do yourself a favor and loosen the bolts that hold the tray to the brackets. That makes attaching them to the main beam easy.
An item I had not factored in was a 10 gauge extension cord rated for 20amps. I could not find one locally so had to order one and have it shipped. No big deal but an added expense. Also could not find the recommended hydraulic fluid locally so also ordered a 5 gallon pail of that. So figure an extra $100 or so before you can start it up.
It works great! It's 16 tons so if you're thinking of splitting 18" rounds of oak with a crotch it isn't going to do that but I had no trouble splitting the 18" rounds of hickory and oak that were relatively straight grained.
So, I'm happy with this splitter. It powerful (enough) for what I need, quiet compared to a gas model, no fumes, and starts with a push of a button.
Took 1 star off for the hassle getting the wheels on.

Hi Paul, thank you for your detailed feedback! We're glad to hear the splitter works well for you. We appreciate your tip about the wheels and the extra setup steps — your insights help other customers. Happy splitting!

Completely satisfied

I have had this machine for over 5 years, and split about 4-5 cord a year. I heat my home with wood. So far I have had absolutely no problems, love it. It’s so easy to move around and much quieter than my 27 ton gas log splitter. It splits everything I can put on it. I would recommend this splitter to anyone.

16 ton splitter

I have the 8 ton splitter which I love but was doing a lot of wood splitting so i decided to get the 16 ton. It is great, so well made, heavy duty, fast and efficient. Easier to move around that the 8 ton with the weight further back and large tires.

Great to hear Nancy. Enjoy that splitter and let us know if you need anything else.
