A Lot Of Metal For The Money,
November 6, 2009
By manchine66
from The Catskills, NY
"I have used a few log splitters in this capacity class before and this is definitely the best of the bunch. I've had it for about three months now and it has split everything I have thrown at it, crotchety wood included. The Honda engine is easy starting and relatively quiet running. There is a lot of metal in this machine and it has dual outriggers to handle it. The wedge is a unique cast piece instead of the usual slab of steel but I did take an angle grinder to it to sharpen it up. The log cradles are the icing on the cake, sturdy and indispensible. My one small complaint is the four worm gear hose clamps were poor quality so I replaced them. Northern comes through again!"

"This splitter will split anything you put on it. Just shy of 2 years of use, the retractor device
broke. Northern Tool replaced it promptly and they were friendly & courteous."

Great product,
October 10, 2009
By woodburnin
from Middle Georgia
"I just brought this home about 2 days ago, and it has run great so far. The assembly was easy, although a bit more difficult without a helper.
After you complete the assembly, run it for an hour or so, then check all the fasteners again. You may find that some have loosened up as you split the first couple dozen logs. After I re-tightened everything, I've had no problems since, but I may still weld up the pieces that I'll never have a reason to take apart.
The wedge wings are a great addition, but may bog it down a bit in larger logs. To help prevent this, don't set the logs all the way back against the I-beam.
The only thing I've done for modification is to add a return line filter and a filter breather cap."

"I have been using mine for over 20 years now and ready for next 20. Have had to only replace hoses and filters during that time. Dependable and well made. If I were to buy another one I would not hesitate to buy another."

Log Splitter,
July 20, 2009
By Huskyhauler
from North west Wisconsin
"I found this splitter to be a great splitter for the price. This splitter has performed flawlessly the Honda engine has performed very well. I really don't see a need for any thing bigger than 22 ton for the average homeowner I have split some pretty good size elm, oak, and maple and this splitter has handled it all with ease.I would recommend this splitter to any one that has to deal with 6 or more chords of wood to be split."

"I ppurchased this splitter abou 2 years ago and am very impressed with it. There has not been a log yet that it couldn't split. I've split over 100 cords of mixed hardwood with it with no breakdown, and it still starts on the first pull."

Great little log splitter,
March 17, 2009
By KenfromMD
from Southern Maryland
"This splitter is light enough that my 80+ neighbor can move it in and out of his shed and set it up. We routinely split logs that are 18 to 24" without any problems. The only negatives are: the business end of the wedge is round and if the logs are cut at an angle they tend to slip out - we'll grind a slight edge to correct this. The manual calls for 8 gallons of hydraulic fluid but this is apparently too much as the excess squirts out of the vent hole in the hyd. tank cap. The engine manual calls for more oil than the engine will take so use the engine dip stick to determine the correct amount."

22 ton Log Splitter,
March 16, 2009
By JohnTB
from Smithfield, VA
"I found this product fairly easy to assemble, even had a couple of extra parts. I bought the extra splitting wings and find that it does a very good job. Sometimes with the wings it will not split all the way through the log most of the time it does the job. I do not have many large logs to split so it works great for me.
Over all a good product."
