20-Ton Hydraulic Splitting Power with 2-Stage Bucher Pump

The GUO079 features a two-stage Bucher hydraulic gear pump that helps deliver both fast cylinder movement and increased splitting pressure.

The hydraulic system automatically adjusts to the amount of resistance encountered while splitting wood.

High-Flow Operation: During lighter splitting conditions and cylinder travel, the hydraulic pump provides increased oil flow to help move the ram efficiently.

High-Pressure Operation: When the splitting wedge encounters more resistance, the pump transitions to its high-pressure stage, providing the force needed to split tougher logs.

This efficient hydraulic design helps maximize performance from the 7 HP gasoline engine.

Hydraulic System Highlights:

• 20-ton rated splitting force

• 11 GPM two-stage hydraulic pump

• Bucher hydraulic gear pump

• 7.5-second published cycle time

• Automatic hydraulic ram return

• 16-inch hydraulic cylinder stroke

• 2.1-gallon hydraulic reservoir

• Compatible with AW32 or AW46 hydraulic fluid

Rapid Auto Return for Faster Firewood Processing

Spend less time resetting the hydraulic ram and more time splitting firewood.

The Landworks GUO079 features a hydraulic control valve with a rapid automatic return function.

After completing a splitting stroke, the operator can engage the return function, allowing the ram to retract automatically while preparing for the next log.

Combined with the published 7.5-second cycle time, this feature helps improve splitting efficiency and reduces repetitive manual control adjustments.

Benefits of Rapid Auto Return:

• Reduces manual ram retraction adjustments

• Helps improve overall splitting productivity

• Allows easier preparation between splitting operations

• Convenient for repetitive firewood processing

• Reduces unnecessary operator effort

Actual cycle times may vary depending on engine speed, hydraulic conditions, and operating load.
