25 Ton Gas Log Splitter - 7HP 209CC, 20" Max Log Length

The Super Handy 25 ton gas log splitter was assembled fairly easily. But the instruction manual that came with it was obviously from an earlier model, and some of the parts were different, with different assembly requirements.
After filling the hydraulic oil, engine oil, and engine gas tank, the engine pull-started easily, and I let it run for at least 20 min. before splitting any logs.
I had some oak logs 20" wide and 18" long with branch knots in them, and this log splitter easily split them.

The wedge slide broke day one

My husband and I were able to put it together with the help of the tractor.

I was very pleased with the way that I was able to split even the largest rounds ... much larger than advertised when in the vertical position. The splitter operated smoothly and powerfully at a nice even pace that allowed for precise positioning of the round or segment. It rolls easily but is awkward to balance while doing so. There is no protection for the engine and hydraulic oil supply hose if you tip it too far backward and lose balance. Although I torqued the nuts to the proper value, the front support is tubular and bolts through to a flat plate, so after a couple of hours of operation, I needed to re-tighten them. All-in-all, I am satisfied with the value for the cost.
