Road towable log splitter

[Supersire]

Hello this won’t be the first time asked but .....

any road towable log splitters for sale second hand down in the south west, looking at a oxdale 10 ton road tow any thoughts on this good/bad and the ugly on it cheers

When I called Oxdale a few years ago enquiringly about their road tow the chap essentially tried to put me off buying one, saying the stand alone was less likely to be stolen. Very strange. I think the oxdale splitters get quite good reviews though

Can see his point but probably not the best way to sale them ,any other suggestions on a road tow starting to think maybe put something together my self

I tried out an Oxdale but did not get on with it. Well priced for the build and reasonably quick but the killer for me is how close the blade is to the vertical support. Tried a few ugly logs and it would just glance off the back of them and push them towards you. 

 

Nicest road tow I have seen at the shows is the AMR but it's a very different price.

Do the Oxdale splitters not have a curved blade like an axe? Seems a strange idea?

Really?! Mine was as quick as any splitter I’ve seen before and Still got through a cube an hour

I have not seen it first hand in action but next door did and commented on how slow it was. They have also bent it. think it's rated 22 tonnes which will partly explain the slow speed.
