Fastest log splitter under £500

[mac2]

Wondering if anyone has any advice on the best/fastest log splitter under £500.

Going to buy a bigger splitter/processor next year after I realise some cash from my logs this winter.

Needs to be very fast otherwise I'd be as well chopping by hand.

Look forward to your responses.

I think you’ll struggle with that budget.

Electric ones are all pretty slow, bar the kinetic ones that reports suggest struggle on anything other than straight grained stuff.

You would need to add a couple of hundred at least to get a 7t vertical petrol machine.

Looked at the kinetic splitters, don't look very sturdy? ?

Anyone used one within this budget??

You're not going to get much for £500

 

How much have you got to split and what size/species?

I can recommend the handy pro 7. There is a post on them you may want to look at.
