Petrol log splitter

[Hereford]

I've got the rock venom 35t pro elite. It gets through anything and almost anything with the 4 way head. I've never used the 22t, but I wouldn't want it less powerful if you plan on using a 4 way head to speed things up. So far good service from rock, splitter tows fine although obviously a speed restriction. So far reliable (2 years old). Only complaints, wish the ram was quicker and single hand operation would be nice, although not rocks fault due to H&S legislation. All in all, imo it's a great bit of kit for the money.

Agreed

Had the same machine for a while now, done a few mods, welded up a couple of tables either side of the main beam to stack a few pieces on, converted to single handed operation. I’ve a 14hp B&S unit and two stage pump from an old hydraulic pack that I’m tempted to fit to try increasing ram speed but in reality that single handed spool valve I fitted saves so much time and in some respects steady is safe. 
Tows fine I’ve found as long as you don’t hit the motorway and stay sensible.
