Powerhorse Horizontal Log Splitter – 3 Pt., 13-Ton Ram Force, 3in. x 18in. Cylinder

Rating

Finally got my log splitter hooked up and running. It was a bit painful to find the hoses and get the right connections for my tractor. I ran it for about 5 hours this weekend and it works great! I have it connected to my JD2320 compact utility tractor and I only came across one piece of cherry that I couldn’t split, (which contained a large cross branch in it). I split maple, cherry, apple, pine, you name it, we have it and this machine went through it smooth and efficient. Some of the pieces were logs over 16 inches diameter and I would split them once and then roll over and split the other way to make the first split. It worked great, don’t limit yourself by the description of only being able to split smaller stuff! Tractor has plenty of power and being able to split both ways definitely is a great benefit to make the job faster. I would recommend that the top bracket be reinforced a little more as mine is a little bent from the torque on the big pieces. I straightened it out, but does make me concerned for the long term. Definitely recommend this as a great addition to any home wood burning/cutting people.
