Manual log slitter

[Paul in the woods]

I know most of you will laugh at such an idea but I would like to get a manual log slitter to start off splitting logs for domestic use. I currently use a maul but that's not great on the old joints. I eventually plan to get a tractor mounted splitter when I sort out a tractor.

 

Now there's plenty around but I can't find any that look robust enough and able to cope with some of the logs I have. The price isn't a problem but I'd like something that'll last.

 

The best I can find is the Forest Master Duocut Manual log splitter ( Manual Hydraulic Log Splitter 10 Ton Wood Cutter Axe )

 

Does anyone know of anything that can cope with larger logs and has more force?

If its a short term, I would get a fiskars x27 and save all the unsplittables in the corner for some fun with the tractor splitter when you get one.

 

Those bottle jack splitters are painfully slow.

Plenty cheapish petrol splitters about now..you get what you pay for.

Hi mate get a good axe as others have said thanks Jon

I already have a good axe, several in fact, and the maul I have is also very good. However, as mentioned, it's not good for my arms. I don't want to invest in a petrol splitter if I'm going to get a PTO one eventually, hence looking at manual ones.

 

I can cope with the slowness of a manual one although I'd rather have one that can take longer lengths.

looks a bit of a pain in the back to me

Can't you get a reasonable petrol/electric one for that money?

When I say reasonable I mean for home use. You don't need to spend a fortune if it's just for home use do you?

The only regret i have is not buying one sooner - a pto splitter that is. Game changer mate. Sell a bit on the side, you'll have your money back in no time.

you can get a electric one for not much more than that and a lot easier plus you can sell it when you get your pto one
