Petrol log splitter

[case mx270]

I m looking to buy a petrol driven log splitter top end of my budget is £1000 ,I split all sorts of fallen timber and some arb waste .I used my mates machine the other day which is a 7 ton table machine but it struggled a bit with some twisted oak so was looking for something a bit bigger . So guys and girls what machines should I look at ? Ideas please . Thanks

You may struggle to find a decent machine with a 12 tonne split for a grand. Most splitters under a grand won't have a Honda engine but a cheap Chinese thing on, the metal on them is monkey metal and they don't last. I had one which I foolishly bought off Arbtrader without looking and it was pants. Save up and get a wallenstein, they are one of the best.

I may have a 14 tonne tow-able horizontal machine available. PM me with a contact number and we'll see if it suits.

Have a look at the Oxdale range of splitters. Ive got the SE400 and pleased with it.

I have an oxdale 400 towable and finds it works well. However I only do enough logs for myself and two Sons each year. Honda engine and very light to move Around:thumbup:

Another thumbs up for Oxdale, RT400 video here

Great for variable sized arb rings

nice bit of kit, and not the usual demo (straight softwood) All that for under a grand?

Over twice that amount, over £2k
