With its patented design, the Jansen FS-35Speed flywheel wood splitter constitutes a revolution in wood splitting. It would be virtually…

it's not road towable though but you could stick it on a trailer!!

3 second split cycle, it's very fast!!

 

Are they a strong machine?, what are they like in horrible twisty wood, I get a fair bit of Arb waste I split.

seem to be pretty strong, i haven't had any issues as yet, but i don't do firewood for work so wouldn't get as much use as some

twisty stuff does sometimes take a couple of so goes but haven't had anything it hasn't been able to do

I've read dome terrible reviews about that splitter, zero customer service etc, no warranty for worn parts. It looks great and I'd really fancy one if they are reliable

yeh i wasn't sure of them as had heard a few things. but having used a mates i brought one. they are German made so can't be too crap!! i got my from a company within the UK so at least i have a contact over here. if you do have an issue, you just video it and say the parts and send it to them, then they send you the parts.

but had no issues as yet so time will tell

This sticker was made and stuck-on in Germany.

P.S.

I did, a few years ago observe a large cardboard box in a skip, from a large screen TV set or somesuch, proudly stating "MADE IN THE UK", which puzzled me recognizing the product brandname.

On closer inspection it actually said, in very small text "this carton was" before the "MADE IN THE UK"

I shit you not.

Agree with the venom I’ve got a V series 22ton and had it around  a year and put roughly 100+ Ton through it no problems at all oil changed after first day use and that’s it starts first.              ( second ) pull and away all day on 5 litres of fuel. Only use it on the estate so can’t comment on the road going version but  I’d it recommend throughly! . Ps made my own table and adapted to one hand operation and jobs a good un.
