Customer Reviews
30 ton Oregon Wood Splitter Review
1) Wood Splitters Direct was great. We called and got a real person who helped us with the order.
2) The Delivery went smoothly. I was glad I chose the lift gate option. I have a paved street and driveway and they were able to wheel crate into the garage.
3) The assembly manual was straight forward. Be sure to read it. The bolts came organized on shrink warped card board with the wrench sizes labeled. I assembled everything but the beam by myself. You will need 2 people to lift the beam. (Tip 1 ; mount a board to the beam to make a handle so a person can lift from each side)
4) Once assembled it works fantastic. The first job was splitting 23" diameter spruce that blow over. The wood was wet and green. I set the splitter up vertical and broke the rounds down into quarters. Then set the beam to horizontal and split the quarter into fire place sizes. The machine had no problem busting them down. Knots get sheared or torn in half. The wedge normally only needs to travel about 6" in to make the split
Observations: The welds are high quality. The log strippers are heavy duty (not stamped steel like you see on a Yardmax). The log catcher is made of welded tube steel (not stamped steel like Champion). This is well built, high quality machine.
Hi David,
Thank you for taking the time to write such a thorough and positive review! We're glad to hear that your experience with Wood Splitters Direct was great and that the delivery went smoothly. Oregon makes a great product and is price well for the quality you get.
Thanks again, WSD
Splitter is working great but I will say that the website really glosses over just how much assembly is required. I though it would be a half hour installation of wheels and tongue assembly but was a 3 hour complete component assembly.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad to hear that your Oregon Log Splitter is working great for you. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the assembly process. We strive to provide accurate information on our website. We certainly do not believe it will only take 30 minutes to assemble the log splitter. The assembly instructions/manual is also linked in the listing for viewers to look at before purchasing.
Thanks again for your feedback!

I'm very pleased with this unit. Easy to put together, started first pull. I've used it for about 8 hours with no issues.
Oregon® 30-Ton 250cc Briggs & Stratton Horizontal / Vertical Log Splitter (OR30TBS-1)
30 ton splitter handles everything very well - so far, biggest log has been about28" diameter. Especially love the wood tray on the other side that holds the other split half until you are finished with the close half.
Great to hear! 30 ton should do pretty much everything you want it to do. Thanks for the review!
WSD
I haven't used it yet but it looks like it ought to do the job
You will get many years and cords of split wood! Thanks for the review.

Hydraulic capacity is incorrect. It should be 7 1/2 gallons, not 6. Splitter overheated with 6 gallons and burned up pump.
Hello, Sorry to hear about your issues. The system capacity of this log splitter is about 6 gallons. We did pass along your comments to our distributor rep. The did reply saying this is the first they have ever heard of this with thousands sold. Also please make sure you are using the recommended fluid type in the manual. You might also want to take it in to your nearest Oregon dealer to have it looked at. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you, WSD
