I have the thor 13t petrol splitter. Does the job and hasn't let me down. You get 3 or 4 hours from a tank of fuel. Solidly built. It struggles on big stuff with the 4 way head and is quicker just to use the standard split twice. I imagine struggle with 4 way at this tonnage though. It's a heavy unit, you can wheel it about but you won't get far using man power alone.

 

I might be selling mine as I've started using an excavator to load so I'm switching to horizontal. PM if you are interested.

 

Edit - I've switch from vertical to horizontal is what I meant to say.

I've got the thor 13t magic and it seems to be a pretty decent bit of kit

I've got a balfor a11 at the moment which i think is just a bit slow and only 11t but it still manages to split most stuff i put through it.

 

Anybody used any of the balfor pro splitters yet?

the thor is really quick i have a table for it for 500 lengths and it whizzes thru them
