Overview

This NorthStar® Horizontal/Vertical Log Splitter is powered by a quality Honda GC engine. The 4in. x 24in. cylinder splits logs up to 25in.L in either in a vertical or horizontal position. Features a 2-stage Barnes pump, which decreases cycle time by delivering high flow/low pressure when there is no resistance and low flow/high pressure when cutting through a log to reduce travel time and increase productivity. Uses a horizontal-shaft engine, engineered for a long life. Add the exclusive NorthStar 4-way wedge wings (Item# 1143, sold separately) to quarter logs in one split instead of three.

Outstanding Machine,

September 14, 2010

By thelittlehauler

from Badger, MN

"I am very satisfied with what I would refer to as an outstanding machine. Assembly required the use of my front end loader as a hoist to lift the main beam into place, but other than that the rest was relativly easy.
The first time I used it all it took was a couple of pulls and the engine was running and it has not skipped a beat ever since.
Using the splitter sure beats swinging a splitting maul because I have not had anything that I can handle, that the splitter can't split, including oak up to twenty inches in diameter and twenty inches long.
There are a couple of things things I would recommend, one is a steel or brass hose adapter in the oil tank outlet, the nylon hose adapter which came from the factory was distorted, collapsed, and leaked. I replaced mine with a brass adapter. The other would be a sharper leading edge on the splitting wedge which would result in a cleaner less ragged block split."

22 Ton Log Splitter,

May 31, 2010

By MountainD

from Balsam NC

"I purchased this log splitter to split up a large red oak tree that we had cut up. This unit performed well even when I cut up some black walnut logs which are very hard. It is versatile with the vertical mode as well. The trailer hitch makes it easy to tow behind a car or truck."

NOT A TOY,

February 22, 2010

By muzi

from New England

"if you want a piece of equipment up to the task of splitting 5-6 cord of wood in a couple of days this machine will do it. If your like me and want to split the wood 1 cord at a time this machine will have you doubling that with ease. Just add the optional cutting edge and Oh My God. It's smooth operation, quiet running engine and simple assembly is what makes this machine worth every penny."

22 Ton Lon Splitter,

February 15, 2010

By Blancke

from Located in New Jersey

"An excellent piece of equipment. Not a toy at all. Very heavily constructed. Some challenge during assembly but nothing that common sense can't overcome. Splits very well with a single wedge, but is worth a quad wedge.
Has really saved my back. Moves well over rough terrain. I like the safety feature of the return pocket and the return to neutral power valve."

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."

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."

What is the PRACTICAL advantage of the 30-ton splitter vs the 22-ton splitter???

Anonymous

3 months, 2 weeks ago

Answers

The practical advantage is that you will be able to split larger diameter harder wood with a 30 ton splitter without stalling the hydraulics than you would be able to with a 22 ton. The 30 ton splitter is able apply 16,000 lbs. more force to a log. If you regularly split woods like oak or ironwood I would definitely recommend going to a 30 ton splitter.

This NorthStar log splitter is made in our China facility but it is Northern Tool's brand.

We provide the China facility with specific part requirements and standards for which we expect to make it our own.

Northern prides itself on having all parts available for our NorthStar products and providing a very reliable, and cost efficient line up.
