Logmaster Foot Operated Heavy Duty Log Splitter, Manual Wood Cutter for Splitting & Cutting Timber (Green)

Product Information

For instance, you can deploy a 4-ton machine to chop 6-inch logs, but you will need a 10-ton machine to crack logs with a thickness of 20 inches. But the manual model we review here produces 10 tons of force and can handle logs up to 60cm in diameter. Despite the fact that we described this log splitter as a home-option, it would surely cope with many other tasks. The key feature of the cone is that the screw splits a log from any side, while the ram blade is more efficient when a log is placed with a cut-off side looking at the edge (along the branch growth vector).

Although it can only tackle logs up to a certain size, it’s a solid choice for quick firewood creation.

It’s much safer to use than an axe as you just press buttons and pull levers rather than swing a sharp blade about your body. Obviously, this capacity might not be enough for industrial use, but if you are looking for a home-use option, it will surely suffice. So the first model on my list is the popular Forest Master FM10 DUOCUT Log Splitter, as pictured above. The manual version is usually the cheapest option, though they are still expensive enough so you should consider any purchase as an investment.

I am trying to find out exactly what type and grade of hydraulic fluid I should use in a 7 tonne Logmaster log splitter. These log splitters are able to work much more intensively than those for professional use, but at the same time, they have smaller dimensions and are lighter in weight.With one-footed operation and streamlined, maintenance-free steel construction it will split all logs including seasoned and green wood to a maximum log size of 45.
