My son has one. (We)use it quite frequently. Is a great piece of machinery! We transport it on a trailer from our residences. I don’t feel comfortable towing it.
Nice splitter, you will be very happy with this, I have had mine for a few years now and it still starts on first pull, even after a long break. Nice upgrades from my model, the chip clean out, fuel Guage and auto shutoff. 2 things I wish they would have addressed is the smaller table and auto return. I would have like to seen an upgrade or aftermarket larger table that would cover the engine. Also the ability to shorten the auto return when dealing with shorter logs. Thanks for making this, it really is a nice splitter.
It may be the best , theirs no denying that, but there is one problem ... it should have a shroud over the muffler so that the extra chips don't get hot and catch fire. That is all. and people dont bother to let it return all the way it will take you too long to get the job done.
I was looking at this but the smaller foot print and faster cycle time for the Ryobi Kinetic Log splitter is appealing since it has no maintenance involved, will easily do smaller jobs and be easier to store. Am I making a mistake for someone who does small loads of medium size rounds and no larger rounds?
How much gas (just approximate) would you burn to split a full one cord of hardwood to standard size for a larger wood stove that handles 16-20" logs? Just asking for your best guess to guage how much fuel it may burn per cord. Thank you

This is the best and most in-depth review of this splitter I’ve seen here on CZcams. Thanks so much! 👍
Glad to help!
Well... I am SOLD!! Thanks for the great review.
Suggestion: Use one Round to sit on when using splitter in vertical.
Great review and so well put together. Just bought one today. When I but the cover ill be sure to use your link.
I really like mine.
Got about 3 cords thru mine. Going good
Great video! The log splitter looks impressive too

Where can you find a replacement gas tank for these champion log splitters? Are there any cheap generic options that work?

You'll never regret having too much power, but you could certainly regret not having enough power!
Just my 2 cents
Can I use my ride on lawnmower with this ?
I do. Add a 2" ball on your rider

I just bought one tonight! I'll let you know tomorrow after work
Hey there, great video. Does this come assembled when bought from the Home Depot? Assuming that's where you got it
Thanks!
Yes it does!
@@PatriotDIY thanks, I actually just found the assembly video
@grassmastersllc2558 it may be different if you order online but from the home depot store it was already assembled.
Que precio se encuentra en USA?
$1499 just bought one six months ago
Who makes the motor
Champion
Good log splitter, but hydraulic hose is crap
Even with two clamps, hydraulic hose slips off and waste $50 in hydraulic fluid
What is the white ring that came in the bolt package? 27 ton
