Thirty tons of force splits green, knotty, frozen wood that stalls a consumer machine, and the beam pivots from horizontal to vertical so a round too heavy to lift onto a beam gets split on the ground where it lies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat separates this from the standard 30-ton model is the torsion axle. A leaf-spring or rigid-axle splitter beats itself apart being towed down a fire road; a torsion axle takes that out of the frame and the tow is smooth. It matters more than it sounds if the machine travels between sites, and it is why this is the version fleets specify.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe details are commercial-grade throughout: a four-stage hydraulic filtration system — suction strainer, return line filter, breather cap air filter and magnetic drain plug — pulls metal particles out of the oil before they reach the pump, which is the single biggest cause of splitter failure. Halite commercial cylinder seals, a heavy-duty wedge with five bolts per side, an auto-latch that locks the beam horizontal for safe towing, and an offset valve that puts the operator in a better working position. Log dislodger, log cradle, fenders, engine guard and tow cables are all standard, not options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30 tons of splitting force\u003c\/strong\u003e – green, knotty and frozen rounds, not just seasoned firewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTorsion axle standard\u003c\/strong\u003e – smooth towing that does not shake the machine apart between sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHorizontal and vertical operation\u003c\/strong\u003e – split heavy rounds on the ground instead of lifting them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4-stage hydraulic filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e – suction strainer, return line filter, breather cap filter and magnetic drain plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHalite commercial cylinder seals\u003c\/strong\u003e – the seal spec that decides how long the cylinder lasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-duty wedge, 5 bolts per side\u003c\/strong\u003e – where cheaper splitters use two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuto latch system\u003c\/strong\u003e – locks the beam horizontal for safe towing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOffset valve\u003c\/strong\u003e – better operator position, less reaching across the beam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12-second cycle time\u003c\/strong\u003e – 16 GPM hi-lo two-stage pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard, not optional\u003c\/strong\u003e – log dislodger, log cradle, fenders, engine guard, tow cables and a larger jack wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e – with US and imported components\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\u003e12 seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda GX270, 270cc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCylinder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.5 in. x 24 in.
