This is commonly used for: splitting seasoned or green firewood for home heating; processing large hardwood rounds too heavy to lift onto a waist-high beam; breaking down trunk sections up to 24 inches long after tree removals; and prepping fireplace wood for residential properties. Rent this machine when logs are too large or knotted for manual mauls and axes. If you are running high-volume commercial production, a full wood processor is faster, but for homeowners and tree crews splitting several cords, this towable unit offers the ideal balance of power and ease.

The splitter accommodates logs up to 24 inches in length. Powered by a 5.5 hp Honda engine delivering robust hydraulic force (30-ton class Wood Boss design), it readily splits large-diameter hardwoods and knotty logs that stall smaller electric or consumer-grade splitters.

The beam unlocks and pivots between horizontal and vertical positions. Use horizontal mode for waist-height splitting on small-to-medium rounds to work quickly without bending over. Switch to vertical mode for heavy, large-diameter logs so you can roll them directly onto the base plate without lifting them off the ground.

The unit features an approximate 14-second cycle time for a full extension and return stroke. In real-world conditions, an operator or two-person team staging logs can easily split a full cord of firewood in one to two hours, depending on log diameter and wood grain.

The machine weighs approximately 620 lbs and is equipped with a tow bar and road wheels for towing behind a car, truck, or SUV with a compatible hitch. It can also be transported on a small utility trailer equipped with appropriate tie-down points and loading ramps. Delivery is available if you prefer not to tow it yourself.
