Choosing the right Log Splitter.
Most people focus on the engine, hydraulic pump pressure and the cycle time. Really that’s the wrong parts to focus on. The Wedge, Foot and Hydraulic Cylinder are the biggest weakness of a log splitter.
The Engines and 2 stage hydraulic pumps are sized to cut Western Australian wood. A pump with a pressure greater than 3200 psi and 16 GPM flow will have no issues. Hiring log splitters allowed us to test the log splitter to every extreme as we know people who hire don’t take the same care if you own. From this information we are able to build the best log splitter knowing the problems you never even considered
Thoughts to Consider When Choosing
When choosing a log splitter there are important parts that you need to consider.
The foot, if not constructed well the steel could bend or welds could crack from the huge force been applied.
The wedge is it strong enough not to bend to split Western Australian hard wood? As WAs wood has twists, knotty, the wood puts huge pressure on the steel.
Construction of the hydraulic cylinder and the hydraulic seals can they handle the heat? The domestic log splitters do not have an oil cooler so the oil can get hot. We recommend around 85 degrees and that’s why our log splitters have a temperature gauge on the tank so you can determine when to shut the machine down to let the oil cool.
When the hydraulic cylinder get excessively too hot the hydraulic cylinder heats up and expands the metal. The force can loosen the front screw cap and with time can cause a weep of hydraulic oil. Oil too hot can also degrade the seals. We are happy to show you the seals that we use in our hydraulic cylinder.

John Scarfe –
69 ton log splitter is a well made bit of machinery ? Works to perfection and now into the second season using it and very pleased?
Warren Furey –
I live in the goldfields and I have had the 60 ton log splitter now for over a year and it works extremely well. A couple of weeks ago some tree loppers were taking down a very large gum tree and were mulching up the branches. I asked them what they were going to do with the large branches and trunk and they replied take it to the dump. They brought the logs around to my place and tipped it on the verge. (It filled a 10ton truck). I have just finished cutting and splitting the lot. I have now 2+ years of wood for the heater. I had to put the log splitter in a vertical position as two of us couldn’t lift the logs onto it. The splitter never missed a beat. By the way I’m almost 70 years old with a few health problems and the splitter is easy to use 🙂
If you purchase the 60 ton splitter I’m sure that you won’t have any regrets.
Mike Scott –
Had my 60T block splitter for over 4 years and it gets a hammering from me, my son and his friends. It will split curly redgum, tuart, jarrah and salmon gum, the 2 stage hydraulic pump kicks in and the wood splits against its will.
One of the best pieces of machinery I have purchased.
