With this petrol log splitter you can avoid the restrictions of mains power and make your store of firewood wherever, and whenever, you like. Amazing value for money, with premium quality components and a whole host of features you would associate with much higher priced machines, the MD 7-Ton Petrol Vertical Log Splitter is versatile, powerful firewood making machine and will handle a wide range of logs, even coping with hard, knotted or green wood. Powered by a high-spec’, high-performance petrol engine from industry leaders Briggs and Stratton, easy to start, quieter and very reliable, this MD Petrol Splitter exerts a full 7 tons of splitting pressure per square inch and, as it is a upright, or vertical, machine, can handle logs of various different sizes. The base plate, on which the logs stand, can be adjusted to three positions depending on log length. Position 1 deals with logs up to 52cm, position 2 up to 78cm and in position 3 logs as long as 104 centimetres can be split. This three-position system offers versatility but also is useful economically and logistically. If you have smaller logs you use the lower setting and the distance travelled by the hydraulic ram to the splitting wedge is lowered, saving energy and time. This may not seem like much but if you are making a large quantity of logs, it will be noticeable. One of the advantages of a petrol log splitter is its ‘go-anywhere’ potential so this model is fitted with smooth-running transport wheels and a transport handle, so you can move from area to area with ease and then to your storage space when the work is done. Safety is paramount with such a powerful tool so this model is fitted with two-handed operation. Both the user’s hands have to be on the control levers and therefore out of the way of the ram and e-wedge before the mechanism can be activated and used. For extra protection, e.g. from flying chips, the control levers are fitted with hand shields. For even more safety, the logs are held in place with specially designed clamps when log splitting is in progress. This top-quality, great value log splitter comes with a one-year manufacturers warranty and is exclusive to MD.

Vertical log splitters are designed to handle a wide range of log sizes and types and the heavy-duty build quality of this model makes it suitable for domestic operators seeking a top-end machine that will handle large quantities of wood quickly and efficiently. The Lawnflite LS2800E Vertical Log Splitter has an extremely powerful 2800 watt electric motor and employs a hydraulic ram to exert 5.5 tonnes of pressure. It will split both soft woods and close grain hard woods such as cherry. The base plate on this log splitter can be adjusted to three separate positions depending on the size of logs you are chopping. In position 1 the log splitter can be used to split smaller logs up to a maximum length of 54 cm (21.25”); in position 2 medium sized logs up to 79 cm (31.1”); and in position 3 larger-sized logs up to 105 cm (41.3”) in length can be handled. By being able to adjust the base plate in this manner you both increase the work rate of the log splitter and save on energy as the hydraulic ram has less distance to travel when chopping smaller and medium sized logs. The maximum recommended log diameter for each of the three positions is 32 cm (12.5”). The overall weight of the Lawnflite LS2800E Log Splitter is just 97 kg, making more manoeuvrable than some of the other models on the market. It comes fitted with wheels and a transport handle enabling the unit to be easily transported from its place of storage to your area of work. To ensure safe operation your hands have to be holding onto the activation levers attached to the outer parts of each of the clamps which hold the log in place. The levers are shielded from the splitting action and the log splitter will only work when your hands are clear of any danger.

The engine itself is an easy-starting overhead-valve unit from Zong Chen (MTD), which you’ll find quiet-running and exceptionally reliable. Vertical-type log-splitters are much more flexible than horizontal type machines, and the Lawnflite LS80P is no different. The base-plate can be set to any of three positions to suit the size of log you’re splitting. This means the ram doesn’t travel further than it needs to, in turn ensuring energy is saved and productivity is maximised. Position ‘1’ is suitable for logs up to 52cm long; in position ‘2’ logs up to 78cm are acceptable; and in position ‘3’ you’ll be able to split logs up to 104cm in length. The Lawnflite LS80P’s transport wheels, transport handle and lack of restrictive mains-cable make it particularly suitable for those needing to work in remote locations with no nearby power-supply. For maximum user-safety, both hands must be on the two main levers for the machine to work. This ensures your hands are a safe distance from the splitting-mechanism during operation. LOOK>>

The MD Pro 12 Ton Petrol Log Splitter is Exclusive to MowDIRECT and has been specially designed to reduce the time it takes you to split logs. In fact it will work through your wood pile up to four times faster than a standard model. The secret to this is the innovative 2-speed cutting action that results in a super quick splitting time for each log. On a standard log splitter the wedge travels toward the wood from its starting position at the same speed at which it actually splits the wood which is quite slow. However on the MD Pro 12 Ton Splitter you get a speedy approach to the log and then the slower, steady speed for the splitting action. This means the splitter works far more efficiently and you aren't left standing for long periods of time. The 2-speed splitting action on this wood splitter also makes it an ideal choice if you have a variety of log sizes to deal with as you get a super quick work cycle of 10 seconds or less even on shorter logs! Rugged construction is very important with hard-working machines like log-splitters and this MD Pro 12 Ton Log Splitter is designed to be very robust: it's made of strong welded steel with a rust resistant finish for exceptionally durability. The powerful LCT petrol engine is really easy to start and both smooth running and reliable. It has an advanced OHV design for higher performance levels and lower emissions and running costs. The MD Pro 12 Ton Log Splitter can handle even large large-sized logs with ease. And because of the power it delivers you can split hard woods as easily as softer varieties without fear of placing a strain on the machine. Knotted pieces of wood (which can damage lower tonnage models) are also no problem at all for this wood splitter. Two-handed operation makes use safe and the wheels have pneumatic, 'flat-free' tyres, pre-filled with special sealant to avoid puncture problems. The tyres have good, patterned grips for firm traction and provide added stability when the machine is in operation. In addition the front stand flips up to become a practical tow-bar with a pin-hitch so this heavy-duty log-splitter can be attached to ATVs and garden tractors should you wish to transport it further afield on your property.

Its hardwearing high-carbon alloy splitting-wedge and rugged steel chassis combine to maximise the splitter’s useful life; while a two-handed operating system ensures your hands can’t stray near to the mechanism as the log’s split.
Einhell log splitters offer superior performance and high grade components making them an excellent investment for anyone seeking a quality machine at an affordable price. The solid tubular under-frame on this model provides maximum stability whilst in operation and allows you maintain a comfortable, upright posture when working. The Einhell BT-LS 65U electric log splitter utilizes a powerful hydraulic pump which exerts an incredible 5.5 tons or pressure to compress the logs against a heavy-duty cast iron wedge. Both hard and soft wood can be split easily in two with zero effort, saving you the tiresome and backbreaking work of using an axe. This log splitter has a high grade 1500 watt electric motor for reliability and can handle logs between 50- 250 mm in diameter and up to 520 mm in length. A load-limiting device helps protect the motor and working parts from being damaged. The two handed control system keeps your hands away from the splitting mechanism whilst in operation for added safety. The tubular under-frame has two sturdy wheels enabling you to transport the log splitter with a minimum of effort. And with a noise level of just 65 dB (A), the Einhell BT-LS 65U Log Splitter works quietly and efficiently providing a more satisfying working experience.
Petrol log splitters have more power and provide greater flexibility than electric models. With no mains cable to tie you down, a petrol log splitter offers the convenience of enabling you to split wood anywhere within the grounds of your property. They are also ideal if you need to split wood at a remote site where there is no mains supply. The Lawnflite LS65P Petrol Log Splitter is equipped with a powerful and extremely reliable 6.5 hp Briggs & Stratton engine which is easy to start and quiet running. It exerts and incredible 7 tonnes of force – enough to split open just about any type or piece of wood you might need to deal with, whether hard or soft, close grain, knotted etc. The vertical type design on the Lawnflite LS65P makes it suitable for splitting logs of varying sizes. This model is for heavy-duty domestic requirements and will handle large quantities of logs up to 104 cm in length and a recommended maximum of 32 cm in diameter quickly and efficiently. The Lawnflite LS65P petrol log splitter features an adjustable base plate that can be set to one of three positions depending on the size of the logs being split. In position 1 smaller-sized logs up to a maximum length of 52 cm (20.5”) can be split; in position 2 medium-sized logs up to 78 cm (30.7”); and in position 3 larger-sized logs up to 104 cm (40.9”) in length can be dealt with. By adjusting the base plate (to suit the log size) the work rate of the log splitter is increased and you save on energy as the hydraulic ram has less distance to travel when in positions 1 and 2. This petrol log splitter comes with both transport wheels and a handle making it easy to manoeuvre from its place of storage to the area where you are working as well as between sites. It also has in-built safety features including dual-lever operation which requires both hands to be free of the splitting mechanism before it will work. LOOK>>
