Bang, Zoom, Next Piece

I've got a ramp for loading a motorcycle into pickup and I use it to roll big rounds up on the table. I added big flat washers to each side of the two engine mount bolts/nuts because the slots were big. 20" seems a good max length of wood to split, especially if it's oak with a knot or two. I split about two face cords of red oak; the wheelbarrow kept filling up fast. I used 15w-40 full synthetic from Amazon for the engine. First time, engine started second pull. Engine runs smooth at high rpm. I asked questions of the support team and got answers quick, support seems good. I could not get the fabric cover to work on this splitter, so I use an 8'x10' tarp and three short ropes at both ends and the center to keep it covered and air can still circulate.

Hi Sam, great to hear you are happy with your log splitter. We appreciate your business and taking the time to leave a review!

Nice

Bought this machine. Came on the back of a semi. Machine had a small dent from a forklift I believe, but fired up without issue after I put it together.
How it works: this thing chews through wood faster than a forest fire! I've run a few cords of hardwood through it so far without a major issue. There are a few little things, however. The activation handle continuously works itself out and needs to be tightened every few minutes or you risk ruining the threads. The shipping damage was also a minor issue. But when you spend almost 3k on a piece of equipment, even minor issues are irritating. This is the reason for the 4 stars.
But this thing murders wood like an oak hating Ted Bundy for sure!

Hi David, Thanks for the feeback. Glad to hear the shipping damage was minor. In the future just note it on the paperwork and let us know about it. Glad to hear you love the log splitter, split safe!

Product Arrived promptly. Shipping container showed signs of damage. When unpacking one of the fly wheel covers was damaged. Made contact with manufacturer along with photos of damage. Within 24 hours new cover was shipped and received it a few days later. The wood splitter works amazing. Added oil to brand new engine and engine started on second pull. Splits Oak and Beech logs 21 inches long with no problem, and Fast.

Hi Tom,

I am glad we were able to get you up and running quickly! Sorry on behalf of the shipping company with that slight freight damage. Glad you are happy with your new purchase.
