Best log splitter to buy

[chrisgilltreesurgery]

I am looking for some info and recomendations into which log-splitter to purchase.

 

I curently use an axe, but as the demand for logs in my village has increased I have decided to buy myself a log-splitter.

 

I do not have a Tractor or hydrolics so im needing the kind with an engine of some description.

 

A road towable one would be most beneficial.

 

I look forward to your suggestions...

Why not run a hydraulic one off your mog? You could move it around to jobs too.

Hi mate I have a Balfor 16 ton tow behind with the Honda engine. And it is awesome! There is not a log I have found that the "log dog" can't split, dead, green twisted, knarly, blah blah blah it doesn't matter. Got it from apine tractors

I used to use one of mog and while it would make sense if it has hydraulic takeoffs its a big engine to be running just to power a splitter, you'l end up clocking up loads of hours, maybe somthing to consider as it will obviously effect resale value of the mog when a small honda engine will do the same job.

If it was me I would look at the sacktruck style ones running of a honda engine like the ones riko do.

No idea what these are like or if it would you suit you but it's well in budget.

 

Depends how much your going to split, this is better than an axe for sure but if your going to be splitting many many tons a year you might want something more powerful.
