5.8-Second Cycle • 22 Tons of Splitting Force • Kohler SH265 Engine • Horizontal and Vertical Operation
Process more firewood with less waiting between logs using the HyperSplit 33-132 22-Ton Log Splitter. Its high-flow hydraulic system combines a 16 GPM two-stage pump, 3.75-inch cylinder, and automatic-return control valve to deliver a manufacturer-rated cycle time of approximately 5.8 seconds.
Powered by a dependable 6.5 HP Kohler SH265 196cc engine, the splitter operates in both horizontal and vertical positions. Use the horizontal position for routine firewood processing or pivot the beam vertically to split heavier rounds without lifting them onto the cradle. Dual log catchers help support split pieces and improve workflow around the machine.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Fast 5.8-Second Cycle Time
The optimized engine, pump, valve, and cylinder combination reduces the time spent waiting for the wedge to extend and retract. -
22 Tons of Splitting Force
Produces strong hydraulic power for processing common hardwood and softwood firewood. -
6.5 HP Kohler SH265 Engine
The 196cc recoil-start engine supplies dependable power for the high-flow hydraulic system. -
16 GPM Two-Stage Hydraulic Pump
Provides fast movement under lighter loads and automatically shifts for greater pressure when resistance increases. -
Horizontal and Vertical Operation
Switch between operating positions to accommodate standard logs and heavier rounds that are difficult to lift. -
22-Inch Log Capacity
Accepts firewood logs measuring up to 22 inches long. -
7-Inch Steel Wedge
Provides a tall splitting surface for dependable wood separation. -
Dual Log Catchers
Catchers on both sides of the beam support split pieces and help keep them within easy reach. -
Reinforced Cradle and Stripper Plates
Double-thick steel in important wear areas adds durability around the splitting beam. -
Double-Sealed Hydraulic Cylinder
Designed to support longer service life and dependable hydraulic operation. -
Automatic Return Valve
Returns the wedge after the control lever is released, allowing the operator to prepare the next log. -
Towable Configuration
Includes 16-inch tires and a 2-inch ball coupler for moving the splitter between compatible work locations.
High-Speed Hydraulic Performance
The HyperSplit 33-132 uses a 16 GPM two-stage gear pump, an 8-gallon operating hydraulic capacity, and a 3.75-inch-diameter cylinder rated for pressures up to 4,000 PSI. This combination provides rapid movement during the low-resistance portion of the stroke while preserving the pressure required to work through more difficult wood.
Horizontal and Vertical Splitting
In the horizontal position, logs rest on the beam and dual catchers help support split pieces. For large or heavy rounds, the beam can be placed in the vertical position so the wood can be rolled into place rather than lifted onto the machine.
Always lock the beam securely in the selected operating position before starting work.
Ideal Applications
The HyperSplit 33-132 is well suited for:
- Residential firewood processing
- Home and property maintenance
- Splitting hardwood and softwood
- Processing heavier rounds vertically
- Preparing wood for fireplaces and wood stoves
- Users prioritizing a fast hydraulic cycle
- Rural, farm, and wooded-property cleanup
