Splitfire 20 Ton 2 + 4 way knife ?

[Peasgood]

Had a good look around all the various logsplitters out there and the above seems to be the one I like the look of most.

Will be going on a tractor that has decent oil flow so skipped the pto version. Was thinking to have the log lifter attachment on it.

For heavy home use splitting mostly leylandii, not very knotty but quite stringy.

Some rings are 24" but not generally things I can't lift. Mostly in the 12" diameter range as in pics.

Have used an Oxdale for years and also own a horizontal splitter, just want to spoil myself a bit and upgrade.

 

Having searched on here there isn't much mention of them, does anyone have one or can comment? Is the log lifter a worthwhile addition or not?

A mate of mine has one and is very pleased with it. He’s near Nantwich and would probably be happy to show it working if of use?

I’d be very grateful if that was possible.
