Iron and Oak 30 Ton Vertical Horizontal Log Splitter (BHVH3018GX)

Built a 4x8 dolly to help move it from the street to the garage were a chain hoist is set up. Well the shipper sent me a txt saying he was 40 min out. Since that was the first time hearing from the shipping company I was not home. I told him I was 1 hour away and heading home. He texted me when I was 13 miles from the house and told me he was just going to drop it and "Sign" for me. So much for the pre-sign inspection. Had to drag it to the shop with my truck. Bad shipping gets a bad review.

Updating my review, I've had a chance to use it some. Once again, Honda engine runs great-smooth & quiet! The Honda engine is very fuel efficient too! Effortlessly, this splitter is bustin' through whatever I put on it. Dry stuff from a couple yrs ago, to freshly cut ash from this past summer. Making firewood is a pleasure, not a chore now. Again, very glad that I went with Wood Splitters Direct & this Iron & Oak 30T splitter!

Good quality

I rented one of these from a local rental company for the weekend. Had some really big white oak that my axe would just bounce off of. A lot of prices were forks and gnarled stuff but this thing made it easy!! I am really impressed with how easy this thing went through it! No problem at all! And the automatic return feature is very nice! I would definitely recommend this splitter!

Good quality and great problem solving . I wood recommend this unit. VERY SATISFIED

Very happy with our purchase. Arrived crated well. All fasteners were there, everything went together as it should, no forcing anything. Started up on the first pull (after all fluids were added obviously). Very well built, should last us for many, many years. Confirms the adage, you get what you pay for.

Bought this splitter assuming it would arrive pre-assembled and ready to run, but no, it is on a pallet in pieces, in boxes and bags...Paid a lot to pay even more to assemble this thing. Hopefully once it is assembled it will be everything as advertized

This Honda engine will wear out 2 men to get it started ! That will leave 2 to split wood ! This problem started on the third use ! I think the compression release quit working ! Must get death grip on starter handle just keep pulling !

The only complaint I have is if you get the motor guard you’ll have to take it off every time you want to clean out the air filter. That’s my only complaint and this thing is a wood splitting machine!!!

Received unit quickly despite not paying for expedited service. Delivery was easy to coordinate. Assembly was straightforward and followed the directions. A second person is needed to raise and attach the beam. Also a floor jack was quite helpful supporting and moving around the unit until the wheels and tow assembly were attached. Manual indicated 10.5 quarts of hydraulic fluid, but I put in closer to 11-11.5 after priming the hydraulics with 20-25 pulls.

Entire unit is sturdily made with quality components. Honda GX engine starts easily with a single pull. I have split about a cord so far with good results. Would highly recommend and it's a mostly USA-made product.

Overall a very high quality woodsplitter ,but have some gripes such as, I wish it could split up to 26" Logs instead of just 24" and also I wish the plate on the bottom were just a little bit larger and maybe not quite as thick?

Used it on one giant oak tree. Wow what a quality machine. Honda motor preformed top notch. Vertical helped so much due to size of logs. Highly recommended. Customer service was excellent. Shipping was very quick .

My husband loves his new log splitter!
It was a Christmas present which was 2 months late due to Covid but very very happy!
Had great service, really appreciate wood splitters (Stacy) keeping me informed on what was the hold up and when we’d be receiving our splitter. Thank you Randee

I'm impressed with how robust this splitter is. The engine guard is overkill too! Went together easily with very good directions. The Honda engine fired right up & ran smooth. Delivery was pretty quick, on schedule, & the carrier that was chosen was easy to work with. I went to the terminal w/my trailer to pick it up, everyone was helpful & nice. Unfortunately I've yet to bust some logs, cause of work & some other house projects. Now the weather's turned but I'm itchin/lookin forward to using it. I'm glad that I went w/this unit vs. one from a local big box.

Just finished putting the BHVH3018GX splitter together (with a friend), no problem following the assembly manual. Don't bother purchasing the deep-well 10mm socket, just use a small 10mm wrench to tighten the hose clamps. Purchased the cover and discovered it is big enough to cover the splitter machinery but not wide enough to cover bother tires/fenders. Quality appears excellent, haven't used it yet for splitting. Be aware, the 10 gallons of Dexron lll hydraulic fluid I've purchased so far has cost $180 (2/ 5 gal. cans).

Staci at Wood Splitters Direct was exceptionally helpful in helping me order (free) from Iron and Oak, a hose clamp that I damaged.

Everyone at Wood Splitters was very helpful!! Thank you
