The numbers (8T/18T/25T) indicate the maximum splitting force (in tonnes). 8T is best for small to medium firewood and lighter home use; 18T suits medium to heavy-duty tasks; 25T is for large, dense logs and professional/commercial use. Choose based on the size and hardness of the wood you plan to split.
The machine uses a high-power gasoline engine. Exact engine model and horsepower can vary by SKU — check the product listing or user manual for the specific engine model and fuel recommendations.
The listed dimensions are 2200 × 690 × 890 mm and the product weight is approximately 150 kg. Actual weight and dimensions may vary slightly by model; verify the specific SKU if exact transport or storage sizing is required.
Maximum log length and diameter depend on the model and configuration. The splitter is designed to handle larger logs than many consumer units, but exact capacities vary — consult the product specification sheet or seller for the exact maximum log length and diameter for your chosen model.
Some configurations support horizontal operation, and certain models or setups can be converted to vertical operation for very long or awkward logs. Check the specific model description or manual to confirm whether vertical operation is supported and if any conversion accessories are required.
Wear safety glasses, gloves, steel-toe boots and hearing protection. Keep hands and feet away from the wedge and moving parts, secure the machine on level ground, never operate the splitter while impaired, follow lockout procedures before maintenance, and read the user manual for full safety instructions.
Perform pre-use inspections (fluid leaks, hoses, fasteners), check and maintain engine oil and fuel, monitor and change hydraulic fluid and filters per the operator manual, keep the wedge sharp and clean, and store the machine dry. Follow the maintenance schedule in the manual for service intervals.
Use the hydraulic fluid specified in the operator manual for the model you purchase. Change intervals are manufacturer-specific; consult the manual for first-change (break-in) and routine service intervals. If you cannot find the manual, contact the seller or manufacturer for the recommended fluid grade and schedule.
Cycle time varies by model, engine power, the load placed on the cylinder and the size/hardness of the log. Typical hydraulic splitters have cycle times that range from a few seconds to longer under heavy loads. Refer to the model specifications or contact the seller for measured cycle times.
Some assembly is commonly required (mounting the wheel kit, connecting controls, or installing towing hardware). The product should include assembly instructions — follow the manual carefully or ask the seller for assembly guidance or a local service provider if you prefer professional setup.
At about 150 kg it is portable with proper equipment. Many users move it with a trailer, forklift, or using optional wheel/tow kits if available. Check whether the model you purchase includes wheels or a tow hitch and use safe lifting and tie-down practices during transport.
Yes — the 18T and especially the 25T models are designed for heavier-duty and commercial applications. Ensure you select the correct tonnage for your workload and follow any local regulations, operator training and maintenance requirements for commercial operation.
Warranty terms and spare parts availability vary by seller and region. Check the product listing for warranty length and terms. For replacement parts (wedge, hydraulic components, engine parts), contact the seller or manufacturer to confirm availability and lead times.
Common accessories include additional or replacement wedges (four-way, ripping), wheel/tow kits, log cradles, and protective covers. Availability depends on the seller; ask for compatible accessories when ordering.
First check fuel level, engine oil, spark plug and fuel shutoff, and any safety interlocks. For hydraulic issues, inspect fluid level, look for leaks, check hoses and fittings, and ensure the hydraulic pump is functioning. If basic checks don't resolve the issue, contact an authorized service agent or the seller for troubleshooting and repairs.
