PTO driven means the splitter can be powered by a tractor's Power Take-Off (PTO). We also offer self-contained models with electric motors, diesel engines, or gasoline engines for users who don't use a tractor.
Capacity depends on the specific model. Common ranges are log lengths around 50–60 cm (20–24 in) and diameters up to 30–50 cm (12–20 in). Heavier-duty variants can handle larger, tougher logs. Check the model specification sheet for exact limits.
Splitting force varies by model. Typical machines range from about 10 tons for light-duty units up to 30+ tons for professional forestry models. Refer to the product specification for the exact tonnage of the model you are considering.
Cycle time depends on the hydraulic system and model configuration; typical cycle times are in the range of 3–10 seconds per stroke. Faster cycle times are available on higher-specification units.
The log lifter assists with raising and positioning heavy logs onto the splitter, reducing manual lifting and improving safety. Lifter capacity varies by model—confirm the maximum single-log weight and dimensions in the product spec.
Portability depends on configuration. PTO-driven units are typically towed on a tractor or mounted on a trailer, while self-contained diesel/gasoline models may come on a chassis or trailer for easier transport. Electric models are more stationary unless fitted with transport options.
Common safety features include guards, emergency stop, two-handed control or safety interlocks, and stabilizers. Always wear appropriate PPE: safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves, and steel-toed boots. Follow the operator manual and keep bystanders clear of the work area.
Regular maintenance typically includes checking and topping up hydraulic oil, changing hydraulic fluid and filters per schedule, greasing pivot points, inspecting hoses and fittings for wear, tightening hardware, and servicing the motor/engine as recommended by the manufacturer.
Yes. The product includes a video outgoing inspection and a machinery test report to verify the unit was tested and inspected prior to shipping.
Connect the splitter's PTO shaft to the tractor's PTO output (commonly 540 RPM for standard models), secure safety guards and driveline shields, verify correct direction of rotation, and follow the operator manual for hydraulic and safety hookups. If unsure, have a qualified technician assist.
Optional accessories commonly include different wedge types, conveyors or log infeed/outfeed tables, cradles, additional lifters, and chippers. Availability depends on the model—contact the supplier for compatible options.
Warranty terms vary by seller and model. Many suppliers offer limited warranties covering manufacturing defects and provide spare parts and technical support. Check the specific warranty document and after-sales policy before purchase.
Operating costs depend on the power option and usage. Electric models are generally cheaper to run and quieter, while diesel/gasoline engines provide mobility but incur fuel and engine maintenance costs. PTO models use tractor fuel/engine. Ask the seller for estimated fuel consumption and electrical requirements for your chosen model.
Units are typically partially assembled for safe transport. Final assembly may include attaching the wedge, lifter, hydraulic lines, PTO shaft, and filling fluids. Detailed assembly instructions are provided—professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with hydraulics and heavy machinery.
Spare parts and service are available through the manufacturer or authorized dealers. Provide your model and serial number when ordering parts. It's recommended to keep common wear parts (seals, hoses, wedges) on hand and schedule regular service through qualified technicians.
