Great Logsplitter for the Price!,

November 2, 2009

By msk852

from Round Rock, TX

"I was looking for a good gas powered logsplitter for my personal use that didn't cost a fortune. I live in Texas where most of the wood I split is dried live oak. This will be my second season to use it and, so far, this splitter will handle most anything I need it to do. Assembly was easy but I could have used a helper. The engine always starts easily and is more than adequate for the hydraulic pump. I love the ingenious two-way splitting feature. In fact, I forget to use it sometimes because I'm not accustomed to that luxury. This is a well built splitter that will last me many years. I highly recommend it!"

"Have split many cords of wood with this amazing machine! Great job Northern Tool!! So far So good!! the double action split is so fast and I love the hight of the work tables!product quality is very high!The product went together in a couple of hour and a come-a-long(or another person would have worked) instructions were O.K. at most- but- not the best- Wish the engine and hydrolics both had filters! there is one thing-- If you over fill the hydro tank AT ALL make sure the breather hole in the tank cap is pointing backwards!!!! IT likes to spray!!!!! High quality--low price= GREAT PRODUCT"

best log splitter for price,

September 13, 2010

By jspaghetti

from charlotte, nc

"This log splitter is easy to use and runs very smooth. I can split logs up to 25 in. without any problems. It is light and I can haul it behind my truck.
It is easy to start, runs great, and functions are very easy to use.
The best thing about it is vertical/horizontal titl. I have nothing negative to say about it. The price/performance is well worth it !"

11571 logsplitter,

September 1, 2010

By chaindrive

from TN

"I have had a lot of logsplitters and this is the easiest powerhorse motor to start, cold weather or hot. I like how it splits both forward and backward and doesn't take as long to split wood this way. Don't have to unhook it from truck to split, just throw wood from splitter into truck. Took it to a neighbor who was splitting wood with another brand and he was amazed at how fast this was and that we could split all different kinds of wood. Really, really like and would recommend this to anyone."

Awesome Machine,

August 31, 2010

By LovetoBurn

from New York

"I bought this splitter in the early spring and didn't want to post a review until I was really able to use the machine. So far I split about 7 cords (mostly oak and maple). There has not been a piece of wood that I haven't been able to get through. As for the dual spitting it's great but i find myself not using it as much because it cycles pretty fast as well. I would highly recommend this splitter. I put it together myself in about 1.5 hours using a 3 ton jack to hold the beam in place. instructions were easy to follow."

20 ton Powerhorse dual split,

August 30, 2010

By sc11hr

"I am pleased with this splitter in the time that I have used it . It seems to split anything that has been put into it without complaint. Assembly went as described and is well within the skill level of anyone that can use hand tools. Be aware that this item has some heavy components to put together and should not be done without an extra set of hands helping. Item is well built and should last a long time. The only things that should be changed are the 2 plastic fittings that do not match the quality of the rest of the unit and make sure that you have a roll of teflon tape on hand to tape your fittings. Happy Splitting!"

The ultimate homeowner's logsplitter,

August 30, 2010

By MikeinNY

from Clinton Corners, NY

"If you can live without a splitter that goes vertical then this is the one to get. Amazing quality for the price. Extremely well built and heavy duty. The design is so simple, compact and efficient I can't believe all mid-size horizontal splitters aren't made like this. The back and forth splitting action and the side tables truly make this a production machine. Virtually eliminates wasted motion and bending down to pick up splits.

For the little bit extra money I definitely recommend the 20 ton model for it's longer stroke and larger cylinder. I've had mine for about two weeks now. Only been through a cord so far but I haven't hit anything yet that's even made the machine grunt. Starts with 2 or 3 pulls and runs smooth and relatively quiet. Moves easily by hand if you extend the ram to counterbalance some of the weight off the tow hitch.

If you don't have a forklift or loading dock remember to set up liftgate delivery when you order. I didn't and had to make a couple frantic phone calls the day it was due to arrive. NorthernTool customer service took care of it quick and it was liftgate delivered on time.

As mentioned in other reviews this is a heavy machine to put together. I managed it by myself with a floor jack and some blocks but even so a helper would have made it easier, and probably safer. You'll need a roll of teflon tape, 3 gallons of hydraulic oil, a quart of engine oil and grease for the telescoping wedge rail.

I heat my house through the winter almost entirely with wood with oil as backup. It started as a way to save on oil but now with the price of cut/split wood going up each year I decided to try gathering and splitting at least some of it myself. We go through 4-6 cord per winter (depending on the supplier's idea of a cord I think). The plan now is to do at least half of that myself.

I'm a 59 year old retired welder/industrial mechanic and homeowner with a bad back. I have 35 years experience using and fixing hydraulic machinery. I've used single stroke splitters without side tables and even done my fair share with a maul. Believe me when I tell you this is a nice machine that makes splitting wood almost fun instead of back breaking drudgery. You won't regret springing for the 20 ton model although I'm sure the 13 tonner is probably nice too."

Great product!!,

June 1, 2010

By Livingston

from Pennsylvania

"I would recommend this (and have) to anyone looking to cut their splitting time drastically! Split over 15 cord this fall and this machine never hesitated once. the only problem with it is you need more than just yourself to be able to make the dual direction splitting effective. If you have 2-3 people you can get a ton of wood split in no time at all!!"

Used it first on 05/24/2010,

May 24, 2010

By karasheville

from Asheville, NC

"I picked it up today and assembled it and even split a few logs. Very, very impressive. Word to the wise.......DO NOT TRY TO ASSEMBLE IT ALONE, IT IS WAY TOO HEAVY !!! I bet the ram assembly weighs 125 lbs by itself.

It took about 2.5 hours start to finish to assemble.

It takes about 2.75 gallons of hydraulic oil (not supplied) and you need to add 10W 30 to the engine. Engine started on first pull, and IAW the instructions it took about 5 extensions of the ram to work all the air out of the system.

Be careful adding the hydraulic fluid, the reservoir only holds about 1.75 gallons so you have to add the rest of the fluid after you have a run it and extended the ram at least 5 times.

I agree the low pressure plastic fittings should be replaced with stainless steel fittings. The plastic fittings work, but the splitter deserves stainless fittings.

Did I mention DO NOT TRY TO ASSEMBLE IT BY YOURSELF !!

I will be honest, if I had to do it over again I would pay the store to put it together, it is really heavy."

Can this be adapted for a 4 way wedge?

DJMORR

(read all my Q&A)

1 month, 1 week ago

Answers

I would say probably not a good idea. The wedge travels back and forth over the beam. Horizontal wedge blades would tend to bind the wood down to the beam and side tables. Would probably also overstress the weld joint at the base of the vertical wedge. This unit has a thin slicing wedge that's welded to a telescoping steel tube. As designed it splits without developing extreme pressure on the wedge weld. A 4-way wedge would likely tear itself out of the tubing in short order.

No, this Powerhorse log splitter does not accept a four way wedge application.

This is a dual split log splitter, meaning it will split logs in both directions, preventing a four way wedge to operate properly.

The I-beam assembly is open at the top to allow the wedge to go back and forth, I imagine that the log would bind and wood chips entering the cylinder area over time would ruin the splitter.

This Powerhorse splitter has a 208 cc engine which was previously rated at 6 HP. The cycle time is 6.5 seconds. It has a 11 GPM two-stage hydraulic pump. The reservoir is 3 gallons. There is not a four-way wedge, but it does split in both directions, splitting twice as fast as regular log splitters. This Powerhorse log splitter combines quality and value in a high production machine. Grab the reins and take it for a ride!
