With high-spec’ features, functions & design & build quality belying its price, this powerful, petrol vertical log splitter is great value & will create a large stockpile of firewood for your wood burning stove or fireplace in no time at all, saving physical effort & time & keeping you warm in the coldest of winters. With a massive pressure per square inch output of 10 tons, courtesy of the meaty yet compact ZC OHV petrol engine which runs reliably & quietly, this log splitter is a real workhorse, able to crack open all kind of logs, even heavy, hard, green & knotted types with ease. Being a petrol splitter, you are not restricted by the availability of mains power & can, therefore, work anywhere, even miles from home as long as you have a fuel supply, so transport is important, & MD has ensured that this model is fitted with smooth-running, sturdy wheels & a handy transport handle, so you can move from workplace to workplace & then store it away safely when work is over. A vertical log splitter is more suitable for a wider range of logs than a horizontal, & in this model the adjustable base plate, on which the logs are placed for splitting, provides total splitting flexibility. The plate is adjustable to three positions to enable it to deal with differing sizes of logs efficiently. This means the ram never moves further than it needs to, to reduce energy use, save time & enhance your output. In position one tit will split logs up to 52cm in length, in position two, logs up to 78cm & in the final position will split logs as big as 104 centimetres long. Safe use of the MD 10-Ton Vertical Petrol Log-Splitter is, of course, a vital & to operate this model you have to have both hands simultaneously on the control levers, ensuring hands & arms are out of reach of the splitting action. The control levers have protective shields for even greater safety.
