LOG-X Series 20-Ton Gas Log Splitter: 7hp 209cc OHV Engine, 19" Stroke

I have not put many logs though it yet . But I will say it came in a timely matter well packed and not one part missing. It fired right up seems to be built well.

Great Machine

You can buy this log splitter for less than six one-day rentals of the same size unit. FedEx delivered three boxes weighing 137, 72 and 135 pounds each. Hydraulic fluid and engine oil are included. Excellent packing, each box had plywood on all sides. Our only assembly issue was that the threads on the hydraulic reservoir were painted. We wire brushed the threads but still had a hard time getting the threads on the low pressure hose to engage. Recommend removing the low pressure hose from the control valve, then attach the other end to the reservoir. Then reconnect to the control valve. This made it much easier to start the threads over the paint.

I think the splitter works well and is very well built. I had trouble getting the motor to start the first time. I think that the valves may have been stuck. It ripped the cord out of my hand and caused it to break off a couple of plastic pieces on the carburetor to break off. I tried to purchase the splitter when it was on sale, but was a day late. I asked that I could get the sale price, but got no response. The add on the website says that the splitter is towable and shows it being towed behind a pickup with a tow bar that I assumed was included. It wasn't. I asked why it wasn't and again got no response.
