So Far, So Good.
Arrived within a few days by truck. Nicely crated, but had a hole knocked in the crate. I have been ill, so I did not uncrate until this past Sunday. Fortunately, no apparent damage. I have not been up to cranking it up and trying it out, but I must say I am very impressed with the quality of the workmanship and overall design. I hope to get it out and start splitting wood as soon as the weather clears. Due to Helene, we have several large oaks to clean up. Should have enough wood to last 5+ years!! Thanks!
Great Log Splitter!
Everything has been great! It shipped fast and it works as described. I would buy from Forestwest again with confidence! Thank you!
Super Cool
I’ve only had this log splitter for a few days and I’ve already tested it with some oak logs. It’s very quiet, tremendously capable, and fun to use.
Why didn't I know?
I've been using a 13 ton hydraulic splitter for 12 yrs. now. It was a dual action splitter which means the wedge is double sided and it splits in both directions. But like most hydraulic splitters the wedge move very slowly. 10 sec. from one end to the other and 10 sec. back. Two weeks ago the wedge broke out of the steel beam rendering the splitter useless so I went to searching for a replacement. Have used this new one from Forestwest for just two days now and have split as much firewood in fully half the time as I could have done with the hydraulic. So my question for myself is why didn't I know about these kinetic splitters a long time ago. This thing is the cat's meow when it comes to splitting a lot of firewood in a short amount of time. Sometimes you have to hit a stubborn piece of wood a couple of times or turn it around end for end to get it to split but that's not very often. Had to do the same thing with the hydraulic one too. Thank you Forestwest for making this machine and the fast and free shipping. For me it's a win win.
Time saver
Great machine. Nice delivery time. Does yeomans work. I neglected to notice prior to ordering that I could not run it with a generator so I have to cut my logs into rounds and bring them to my barn for splitting and then redeploy around my 14 acres as inventory for my customers. Fortunately my logging road covers the land in a circular fashion so I can recover the cut rounds to bring to my barn with my pickup truck. Also the handle on the front leg is not very suitable to moving it around or running it up ramps into my pickup truck to bring to my sons property but I fashioned dirt bike handles to the front leg so it now handles similar to a wheel barrow and moves much easier and with much better control. Neither reason would prevent me from recommending this splitter but the handle bars and the ability to run it on a generator would make it 6 stars.
