It splits horizontally or vertically, so the heavy rounds get split where they land instead of being wrestled up onto a beam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Honda GC190 drives a 13 GPM two-stage pump at 3,500 PSI through a 4.5 x 24-inch cylinder with a 2-inch rod — a 14-second cycle, same as the 37-ton. The wedge is 8 inches of high carbon steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe four-stage hydraulic filtration is the same as the top machine too: suction strainer, breather cap air filter, return line filter and magnetic drain plug. That is what keeps metal particles out of the pump, and it is the difference between a splitter that lasts a decade and one that starts losing pressure in year three. Log cradle, heavy-duty dislodger and 2-inch ball hitch are standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30 tons\u003c\/strong\u003e – thick green rounds, not just seasoned firewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHorizontal and vertical\u003c\/strong\u003e – no lifting heavy rounds onto the beam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4-stage hydraulic filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e – the same protection as the 37-ton machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustrial I-beam construction\u003c\/strong\u003e – built to be used hard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14-second cycle\u003c\/strong\u003e – 13 GPM two-stage pump at 3,500 PSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8 in. high carbon steel wedge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLog cradle and dislodger standard\u003c\/strong\u003e – catches halves, protects the control valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLift handle\u003c\/strong\u003e – one-person changeover between positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTows at 45 MPH\u003c\/strong\u003e – 2 in. ball hitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEquipment Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLog Splitter (Tow-Behind)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSplitting Force\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 tons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHorizontal and vertical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCycle Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda GC190, 189cc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCylinder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5 in. x 24 in.
