Wanting to buy a tractor mount log splitter with large blade.

[Woodworks]

Think I need one with a large blade as much of our wood is very fibrous and I don't think a tip like the Oxdale has will completely part the wood. We have a Hycrack but again these fibrous bits hold on for deal life and I often have to use an axe to finish them off.

I know I always rave about using my X27 but I am going to get someone to give me hand and I recon a conventional ram type is going to prove the safest for others to use. So what power should I be looking at for efficient splitting bearing in mind I can still do the worst bits with the Hycrack.

 

Thanks

Just had look at the Posh but it looks like you would get major back ache with the log on the floor like in the pictures. Can you have the work table at a decent height when doing smaller logs (10-12") ?

Something to bear in mind is that any commercially bought splitter will (if it's compliant) stop approx 50mm from the base plate so you my still end up with some stringy bits holding on - but it's fairly straightforward to solve that with a spacer.

 

From memory, the Thor and Balfor verticals both have quite deep knives, or used to.

the browns splitter has a big head plus you can lift it up on the 3 point linkage with a decent size table at waist height.
